Dinosaur jr. - Quicksand

"Quicksand" was recorded on July 14, 1971 at Trident Studios in London. The song's lyrics, like much of Bowie's work at the time, are influenced by Buddhism, occultism, and Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the Superman. It refers to the magical society Golden Dawn and controls one of its most famous members, Aleister Crowley, as well as Heinrich Himmler, Winston Churchill and Juan Pujol.
