‘The Secret Life Of Arabia’ was the closing song on David Bowie’s 12th studio album “Heroes”.
In 1977 Bowie confronted his fear of flying, and he traveled to England, the USA, Canada, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Japan. This itinerant lifestyle and exposure to different cultures, in conjunction with Berlin’s cosmopolitan nature, made “Heroes” a more outwardly-looking album than its predecessor Low.
Based in Berlin during the recording, Bowie was inspired by Germany (“Heroes”, ‘V-2 Schneider’, ‘Neuköln’), America (‘Joe The Lion’, ‘Blackout’), and Japan (‘Moss Garden’, ‘Blackout’). On the final song he set his sights on the middle east, a foreshadowing of the increased internationalism of his next album Lodger.
The Secret Life Of Arabia’ was one of four tracks on “Heroes” to be co-written. “Heroes”, ‘Moss Garden’, and ‘Neuköln’ were all credited to Bowie and Brian Eno. The music of ‘The Secret Life Of Arabia’, meanwhile, was credited to Bowie, Eno, and guitarist Carlos Alomar.
With the exception of ‘Sons Of The Silent Age’, the band performances on “Heroes” were written in the studio with scant idea of the lyrics or melody that Bowie might later add.
