Safe was written by David Bowie & Reeves Gabrels, also known as Safe In This Sky Life, recorded in 1998 for inclusion on the Rugrats soundtrack but left off at the last moment. In 2002, a re-recording was released on BowieNet before being released as a B-side on the ‘Everyone Says ‘Hi” CD single. A longer version (5’53” vs 4’44”) appeared on the Heathen SACD, which is playable only on dedicated players, but you can hear that full length version below. The song was co-produced by David Bowie & Tony Visconti.
