The reasoning behind that stemmed from wanting to not come out with one blatant, sort of, protesty song, that showed that feelings of anxiousness about society are expressed on different levels and with different intensities.\n\nThe origin of ‘It’s No Game’ was ‘Tired Of My Life’, an acoustic demo of which Bowie recorded at Haddon Hall around May 1970. At that time Bowie was putting the finishing touches to 'The Man Who Sold The World', but \"Tired Of My Life\" does not appear to have been in the running for the album or its successor, 'Hunky Dory'.\n\nhttps://www.bowiebible.com/songs/its-no-game-no-1/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
