Letter to Hermione

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Letter to Hermione" is a song written by David Bowie in 1969 for the album Space Oddity. This ballad is a love letter to Hermione Farthingale, who Bowie met through Lindsay Kemp while mime dancing. She became Bowie's girlfriend and they lived together for a short while in London in 1968. In early 1969 she abandoned Bowie for a Norwegian dancer.

An early name for the song was "I’m Not Quite". Bowie recorded a demo version of the song with this name together with John Hutchinson in February 1969.
