The story behind
The song Fill Your Heart, which is part of the album Hunky Dory, is distinguished by its original composition, as it was not written by David Bowie himself. The lyrics and music come from the collaboration between Biff Rose and Paul Williams, who brought this theme to life, which Bowie included in his discography. With a duration of 3 minutes and 7 seconds, this musical piece adds to the sonic palette of Hunky Dory, offering a different perspective to the British artist's creations.
The recording of Hunky Dory, the album that includes Fill Your Heart, took place in mid-1971 at Trident Studios in London. David Bowie, along with Ken Scott, took on the production of the record. For this project, Bowie gathered musicians such as Mick Ronson on guitar, Trevor Bolder on bass, and Mick Woodmansey on drums. It is interesting to note that, unlike previous works where the guitar was the protagonist, on Hunky Dory Bowie explored a more melodic and piano-centered sound, creating a style described as pop rock and art pop, with a warmer atmosphere. In this context, Rick Wakeman contributed his talent on the piano shortly before joining the band Yes.
