Almost immediately following its release, Bowie gave few press interviews for "Tonight", all of which he appeared almost apologetic. In one interview he stated, "Recently I've used an "accepted vocabulary", as would say...I feel on the whole fairly happy about my state of mind and my physical being and I guess I wanted to put my musical being in a similar staid and healthy area, but I'm not sure that that was a very wise thing to do." He thus began a series of miscellaneous projects at the end of 1984 which ventured into 1985, starting with collaborating with the Pat Metheny Group on "This Is Not America", for the soundtrack album for "The Falcon and the Snowman" (1985). He then performed at Live Aid, collaborated with Mick Jagger on "Dancing in the Street" and composed songs for the films "Absolute Beginners" (1985) and "Labyrinth" (1986), both of which Bowie starred in.
