What's Really Happening?

What's Really Happening?

"What's Really Happening?" is a song written by David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels with lyrics by Alex Grant for the album "'hours...'" in 1999. To drum up interest in the impending album, a competition was held on Bowie's personal website [http://www.davidbowie.com BowieNet] to compose lyrics to an instrumental backing track. The winning lyrics would be featured on " 'hours...' ".

Alex Grant also won a trip to the recording studio to watch Bowie record the track. The actual recording took place on May 24, 1999 at Looking Glass Studios in New York. The full session of over three hours was broadcast over the Internet.
