PopBitch 1,218 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I can't stop crying. I've been listening to Blackstar for three days and have been on Bowie music blogs since it dropped. Fans have been so psyched. It's been a great time to be a Bowie fan the last three days with all the excitement and now this. It's surreal. He left an untouchable legacy. To think he had cancer when working on Blackstar and to put out something so fresh and amazing and now has more meaning in a different way. I'm gutted.

Shadow 6,632 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My favorite song by him, Space Oddity: Long live his legacy. I look forward to the day we become an advanced society, war and differences behind us, and explore our solar system and cosmos with songs like this one by him, filling the void. Charming barely describes the future I foresee. Do your own research. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopBitch 1,218 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The lyrics to the last song on Blackstar. People always wanted to know what he meant in lyrics and he was always mysterious but gave enough of himself if you looked. Now I know why he kept repeating that in his song over and over, I can't give everything away. I know something is very wrong The pulse returns for prodigal sons The blackout's hearts with flowered news With skull designs upon my shoes I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away Seeing more and feeling less Saying no but meaning yes This is all I ever meant That's the message that I sent I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away I know something is very wrong The pulse returns for prodigal sons The blackout's hearts with flowered news With skull designs upon my shoes I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a few hours later I heard the news of his death. He was such an inspiration to so many people. May his spirit live on... Lazarus is my favorite song on the album. I just thought it was brilliant. The lyrics will forever take on a new meaning when I listen to it now. Look up here, I'm in Heaven! I've got scars that can't be seen I've got drama, can't be stolen, Everybody knows me now Look up here, man, I'm in danger! I've got nothing left to lose I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl Dropped my cellphone down below Ain't that just like me?! By the time I got to New York I was living like a king Then I used up all my money I was looking for your ass This way or no way You know I'll be free Just like that bluebird Now, ain't that just like me? Oh, I'll be free Just like that bluebird Oh, I'll be free Ain't that just like me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockPop 7,747 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm devastated. I've been crying since I woke up. To put it in perspective, Labyrinth was the first movie I watched aged 3 and it has been an obsession of mine since. I grew up with him. I have a Bowie tattoo, I got a bowie custom gift this Christmas. My dog is called ziggy. To me this has hit me harder than a "celebrity" death. I'm sat here typing through tears, it's like I've lost family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopBitch 1,218 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Part of NY Times article on the Great David Bowie and his legacy. "The multitalented artist, whose last album, “Blackstar,” a collaboration with a jazz quintet that was typically enigmatic and exploratory, was released on Friday — on his birthday. He was to be honored with a concert at Carnegie Hall on March 31 featuring the Roots, Cyndi Lauper and the Mountain Goats. He had also collaborated on an Off Broadway musical, “Lazarus,” that was a surreal sequel to his definitive 1976 film role, “The Man Who Fell to Earth.” Mr. Bowie wrote songs above all about being an outsider: an alien, a misfit, a sexual adventurer, a faraway astronaut. His music was always a mutable blend: rock, cabaret, jazz, and what he called “plastic soul” but was suffused with genuine soul. He also captured the drama and longing of everyday life, enough to give him No.1 pop hits like “Let’s Dance.” If he had an anthem, it was “Changes,” from his 1971 album “Hunky Dory,” which proclaimed: “Turn and face the strange / Ch-ch-changes / Oh look out now you rock and rollers / Pretty soon now you’re gonna get older.” Born David Jones on Jan. 8, 1947, in South London, Mr. Bowie rose to fame with “Space Oddity,” in 1969, and later through his jumpsuit-wearing alter ego Ziggy Stardust and another persona, the Thin White Duke. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Mr. Bowie was his generation’s standard-bearer for rock as theater: something constructed and inflated yet sincere in its artifice, saying more than naturalism could. With a voice that dipped down to baritone and leaped into falsetto, he was complexly androgynous, an explorer of human impulses that could not be quantified. He also pushed the limits of “Fashion” and “Fame,” writing songs with those titles and also thinking deeply about the possibilities and strictures of pop renown."

DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 They keep mentioning Lady Gaga on the news when they're talking about David Bowie. They said there's no other artist these days that mirrors david bowie, like Lady Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
