Calling Sister Midnight
You've got me reaching for the moon
Calling Sister Midnight
You've got me playing the fool
Calling Sister Midnight
Calling Sister Midnight
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me well
Can you hear me at all
Calling Sister Midnight
I'm an Idiot for you
Calling Sister Midnight
I'm a breakage inside
Calling Sister Midnight
Calling Sister Midnight
You know I had a dream last night
Mother was in my bed
And I made love to her
Father he gunned for me
Hunted me with his six gun
Calling Sister Midnight
What can I do about my dreams
Listen to me Sister Midnight
You put a beggar in my heart
Calling Sister Midnight
You've got me walking in rags
Hey where are you Sister Midnight
Can you hear me call
Can you hear me well
Can you hear me at all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iggy Pop's song Sister Midnight speak to a feeling of desperation and longing, as the singer repeatedly calls out to Sister Midnight, hoping that she can hear and answer him. He confesses that he is an idiot for her, and that she has put a beggar in his heart. The singer's language is full of romantic imagery, as he mentions playing the fool, walking in rags, and feeling like a broken person inside.

The most unsettling part of the song comes when the singer describes a dream he had about Mother and Father. He claims that Mother was in his bed, and that he made love to her, while Father hunted him with a six gun. This imagery creates a sense of chaos and confusion, and it hints at deeply rooted psychological issues that the singer may be dealing with.

Overall, the song paints a picture of a person who is struggling with a sense of inadequacy and a longing for someone who may not be entirely healthy for him. The repeated calls to Sister Midnight give the song a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer's very existence depends on her answering him.

Fact 1: Sister Midnight was co-written by David Bowie and played as a keyboardist on the track.
Fact 2: The song is the second track on Iggy Pop’s 1977 solo album The Idiot, which was the first collaboration between Iggy and Bowie after they met in the early 1970s.
Fact 3: Sister Midnight was later covered by other bands including The Vandals and Stiv Bator.
Fact 4: The song was featured in the 1981 horror film The Howling.
Fact 5: The original demo version of the song was called "Get Some" and had different lyrics.
Fact 6: The bassline was played on a synthesizer and became a recurring theme in subsequent Bowie/Iggy collaborations.
Fact 7: The album The Idiot was named after Dostoevsky's novel of the same name.
Fact 8: The album cover features a photograph of Iggy Pop taken by Andrew Kent.
Fact 9: The lyrics to Sister Midnight were inspired by the character of Sister George from the 1968 film The Killing of Sister George.
Fact 10: Despite being a collaboration between Iggy Pop and David Bowie, Bowie is not credited on the album as a performer or songwriter.

Chords:
While the chords for Sister Midnight are not available, the song features a prominent bassline played on a synthesizer, which can be heard clearly throughout the track.

Line by Line Meaning

Calling Sister Midnight
I am trying to get in touch with my darkest desires represented by the figure of Sister Midnight.

You've got me reaching for the moon
You have made me aspire for something unreachable, something that is not practical or realistic.

You've got me playing the fool
You have made me look foolish by acting in a way that is embarrassing and not acceptable.

Can you hear me call
I wonder if you can hear me trying to reach you through my deepest thoughts and desires.

Can you hear me well
I am questioning if you are fully understanding and acknowledging my desires and voices.

Can you hear me at all
I am uncertain if you are even hearing my voices and desires, or if you are ignoring them completely.

I'm an Idiot for you
I am foolish for desiring and pursuing my darkest and most irrational desires that are represented by Sister Midnight.

I'm a breakage inside
I feel like I am broken inside because of the chasm between the real world and my deepest, darkest desires and fantasies.

You know I had a dream last night
I had a dream last night that represents my innermost desires and fantasies that I may not openly express during my waking hours.

Mother was in my bed
I desired a mother figure to care for me, be close to me, and even express intimate love towards me.

And I made love to her
I acted on my deepest desires and fantasies by engaging in intimate acts with my mother figure.

Father he gunned for me
My father figure, symbolizing authority and guidance, tried to stop me from pursuing and acting on my fantasies as it is not socially acceptable or normal.

What can I do about my dreams
I am struggling to understand and accept my deepest desires and fantasies that I may not be able to act on or share with others.

Listen to me Sister Midnight
I am begging for Sister Midnight’s understanding, support, and acknowledgement of my voice and desires.

You put a beggar in my heart
You have made me feel deprived and incomplete without realizing or acting on my deepest and darkest desires.

You've got me walking in rags
You have made me feel like I am not living up to my potential by not acknowledging and acting on my deepest and darkest desires.

Hey where are you Sister Midnight
I am questioning Sister Midnight’s presence and support when I need her the most, to acknowledge and understand my deepest desires and fantasies.

+A Tree I believe that the aesthetics and dynamics that influenced the post-punk movement indeed come largely from Bowie himself.

Here's a quote from Bowie: "Poor Jim, in a way, became a guinea pig for what I wanted to do with sound. I didn't have the material at the time, and I didn't feel like writing at all. I felt much more like laying back and getting behind someone else's work, so that album was opportune, creatively."

A quote from AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine on his Station to Station review: "It's not an easy album to warm to, but its epic structure and clinical sound were an impressive, individualistic achievement, as well as a style that would prove enormously influential on post-punk."

Quotes from a few Pop and Bowie Bloggers who've done some research:

"The Idiot"'s genesis can be traced all the way back to Bowie's tenth release, "Station to Station". Here we find Bowie firmly in the grips of cocaine mania and backed by an R&B ("Americans of color" according to Tony Visconti) band. Dennis Davis on drums, George Murray on bass and Carlos Alomar. Station to Station is definitely a fusion of funk and then-modern European influences like Neu! and Kraftwerk."

" "Low" was created after / during (depending on who you talk to) "The Idiot" even though "Low" was released before it. Laurent Thibault said that during the creation of both records, the personnel didn't know which songs would appear on which album. In fact, "What in the World" actually was intended for "The Idiot" and was recorded as "Isolation". Iggy's backup vocals can be heard on the track."

"This was “Sister Midnight,” which began as a Bowie and Carlos Alomar sequel to “Fame”—another one-chord vamp built on an Alomar guitar riff. “Fame” had swagger and coiled precision; while cold, it could move a dance floor. “Sister Midnight,” with its bludgeoning rhythms, its murky production and sense of confinement, seems intent on keeping you locked in place. The track suggests what a possible post-Station to Station LP would have sounded like, had Bowie had remained in Los Angeles—funk reduced to brutality."

George Murray is such an underrated bass player. As well as this album, he played on Bowies mid- to late-70s albums such as "Station to Station," "Low," and "Heroes." He helped to give them a unique, interesting sound.

In a lot of ways, this song invented post-punk. It's kind of like how in a lot of ways "I Wanna Be Your Dog" invented punk rock. Not saying there weren't other bands doing what Iggy was doing during '77 that could be classified as post-punk OBVIOUSLY but my point is, is that Iggy Pop deserves more credit than he is given. Kudos Jimmy.

A Tree

8y↑5

***** I am aware of all of what you said, minus the few inaccuracies. David Bowie wrote most of the music, but They actually both produced the sounds separately. The production of the album was not really a collaborative effort, but more of two brains constantly jumping off of each other's ideas. I think Sister Midnight, in general, sounds much more like any post-punk from '79-'82 than any track on Low.

Spore mmmb-mmmmbb-mmmbuuh-mmmmmbut But what are you trying to prove with any of this trivia, though? That you're aware of common knowledge. Sorry, not trying to be cute, but Iggy Pop had as much to do with the making of this Iggy Pop song as David Bowie or Carlos Alomar did.

+Daniel Tynan It's because Bowie and Iggy lived in the same apartment in the 70s in Berlin and wrote this song together. Bowie later took the backing tracks from this and used them in Red Money.

Shane Wright

+Daniel Tynan This song goes back to 1976 and was performed, as Sister Midnight" on the Station to Station Tour.

mastersoftoday

Bowie started writing it in 1976 and completed it with Iggy, and curiously, if you consider The Idiot a part of Bowie's Berlin period, it would be both the first and the last song — first one completed and opening The Idiot, and the last one on Lodger, albeit with different lyrics, now as Red Money. I'm pretty sure Bowie did that on purpose, but maybe he just couldn't give away a bassline that good.
