The story behind the song

"Outside" comes from David Bowie's 1995 album, which delves into a dark, conceptual world where "art crimes" are a part of society. Inspired by outsider art and the non-linear storytelling of shows like Twin Peaks, the album follows Detective Nathan Adler investigating a murder. Each track offers a different character's perspective within this unsettling narrative. Playing this song means stepping into a complex, experimental soundscape, exploring the fringes of art and crime.
