(You Will) Set the World on Fire
by
David Bowie
David Bowie's track captures the vibrant and revolutionary spirit of 1960s folk music in Greenwich Village, New York. The lyrics mention influential figures like Joan Baez and Bob Dylan (referred to as "Bobby"), highlighting a time when music was a powerful medium for social change. The protagonist, possibly an emerging artist, is depicted as someone with the potential to ignite significant cultural or societal shifts through their artistry. Bowie reflects on this era with both nostalgia and admiration, suggesting that the right voice at the right time can indeed "set the world on fire." #1960sFolk #CulturalRevolution
