Bogus Man (6) |
"In Every Dream Home a Heartache" is the fifth song from Roxy Music's second album. On the original LP, it was the last song of side A. The song is a very sinister one, partly a critique of the emptiness of opulence, partly a love song to an inflatable doll. After the lyrical conclusion "I blew up your body/but you blew my mind!", the song climaxes with an extended instrumental section, featuring a blistering solo by guitarist Phil Manzanera. It seems to end with a fade-out, but then the music returns, heavily altered by Brian Eno's tape techniques. The song is also present on Roxy Music's live albums Viva! and Concerto.

[edit] Cover versions
The song has been covered by Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone on their album Dream Home Heartache. The name of the album is obviously a reference to the song. Another version is done by Fields of the Nephilim on the album Revelations. Yet another version is performed by Buck 65 on his album Vertex.
Bassist John Taylor, during his solo period after leaving Duran Duran in 1997, organized a Roxy Music tribute album called Dream Home Heartaches: Remaking/Remodeling Roxy Music (released 1999). The title song was covered by Xan.[1]
