"Weeping Wall" is an instrumental piece by David Bowie from his album Low, released in 1977. The track has been described by Bowie as intending to evoke the misery of the Berlin Wall, being a portrait piece like the other music on Side Two of Low. The principal melody is an adaptation of the tune "Scarborough Fair". While Brian Eno and NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have suggested that "Weeping Wall" began life as part of Bowie's aborted soundtrack to The Man Who Fell to Earth, the composer himself maintained that the piece was composed especially for Low.

| - «Weeping Wall» es una pieza instrumental por David Bowie para su álbum Low, lanzado en 1977. La canción ha sido descrita por Bowie como un intento de evocar la miseria del Muro de Berlín, siendo una pieza de retrato como la otra música en el lado B de Low. La melodía principal es una adaptación del tono «Scarborough Fair». Bowie tocó todos los instrumentos en la grabación, la única canción en solista del álbum, incluyendo varios instrumentos de percusión y sintetizadores. Su voz también está presente en los coros sin palabras. Tiene un estilo minimalista en orientación al compositor Steve Reich. De acuerdo con Reich, Bowie había atendido a la premiere europea de Music for 18 Musicians en la Galería Nacional de Berlín en 1976. Mientras Brian Eno y editores de NME, Roy Carr y Charles Shaar Murray han sugerido que «Weeping Wall» comenzó como parte de la banda sonora cancelada de Bowie para The Man Who Fell to Earth, el mismo compositor mantiene que la pieza fue compuesta especialmente para Low.

- "Weeping Wall" is an instrumental piece by David Bowie from his album Low, released in 1977. The track has been described by Bowie as intending to evoke the misery of the Berlin Wall, being a portrait piece like the other music on Side Two of Low. The principal melody is an adaptation of the tune "Scarborough Fair". Bowie plays all instruments on the recording, the album's only solo track, including several percussion instruments and synthesizers. His voice is also present in a wordless chorus. Its minimalistic style has been seen as bearing the influence of composer Steve Reich. According to Reich, Bowie had attended the European premiere of Music for 18 Musicians at the National Gallery of Berlin in 1976. "And I think 'Weeping Wall' on Low is somewhat indebted to that," Reich has said. Bowie himself recalled seeing Music for 18 Musicians performed "live in downtown New York in the late 70s" and described it as "Balinese gamelan music cross-dressing as Minimalism... Astonishing." While Brian Eno and NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have suggested that "Weeping Wall" began life as part of Bowie's aborted soundtrack to The Man Who Fell to Earth, the composer himself maintained that the piece was composed especially for Low.
