Shadow Man (song)

"Shadow Man" is a song written by David Bowie in 1971. An unfinished demo with vocal, guitar and drums was recorded at Trident Studios on 14 September 1971 during the initial Ziggy Stardust sessions, and an earlier version may have been recorded along with "Rupert the Riley" on 23 April 1971.[1]

In 2001 Bowie recorded the song for the planned but unreleased album Toy. This version would later be included on the limited edition bonus disc of Heathen, and on the singles "Slow Burn", "I've Been Waiting for You" and version 2 of the UK single "Everyone Says 'Hi'". It is now also included on the 2014 compilation Nothing Has Changed.
