If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

"Warszawa"---homage to the capital of Poland and its people---is a mostly instrumental song by David Bowie, co-written with Brian Eno and originally released in 1977 on the album Low--the first album of the Berlin trilogy.
The Berlin years were ones where Bowie dried out (although relapses with hard drugs would continue for another decade), it taking two years for him to stop having flashbacks. He tried to regain some semblance of normalcy in his life in a poverty-stricken Berlin reverting back to its morbid decadence of the thirties.
There is a deep melancholy underpinning "Warszawa" and the four instrumental tracks on side two; they deal thematically with life in a Germany scarred with the Berlin Wall, but also with the ridding of Bowie’s LA demons.
I need to find an image for the music.
