Metanoia is one of two distinct terms in the New Testament that are both translated into English as \u2018repentance\u2019: in the original Greek, metamelomai<\/em> suggests sorrowful regret, whilst metanoia<\/em> implies the action of a change of mind leading to a change of life.<\/p>\n

In classical Greek culture, metanoia referred to a rhetorical device, but was also personified as an avenging figure who accompanies Kairos, the god of opportune time, as ‘the goddess who exacts punishment for what has and has not been done\u2019<\/p>\n

David Bowie\u2019s Word on a Wing was written at the height of his drug addiction, whilst filming The Man Who Fell to Earth: \u201cThere were days of such psychological terror when making the Roeg film that I nearly started to approach my reborn, born again thing. It was the first time I\u2019d really seriously thought about Christ and God in any depth, and \u2018Word on a Wing\u2019 was a protection. It did come as a complete revolt against elements that I found in the film. The passion in the song was genuine\u2026 something I needed to produce from within myself to safeguard myself against some of the situations I felt were happening on the film set.\u201d<\/p>\n
