the only celebrity that I was truly saddened by his loss.... not to be callous towards others but Bowie had a sense of humility and humanism that you can't help having a connection to.
+leokimvideo By no means was it a fitting end to one's life but I think we'll both agree on this.He made it fitting to himself and to miliions who loved him by staying an awesome,awesome man to the very end!
I think his final one was When I Met you... I don’t think this was his final final song he finished.. I think he finished this before No Plan and Just Killing A Little Time
@@GranTruismo4head I think it's killing a little time, however there are 5 more Blackstar outtakes we didn't get to listen yet. also Happy Birthday David, wherever you are, we love you. ★ ♾️
@@GranTruismo4head i think skullfvck. was actually referring to the order of songs On the Blackstar Album NOT his last recorded song ;) Just sayin ;).............................................................
As melancholic as this tune is, I'm ultimately not sad. More thankful that Bowie was considerate enough (and had enough time) to put out one last album as an end cap for his life. You don't get to write a better ending than that.
I hear the fact it bursts into colour at the end is to finish the Blackstar era and transcend it, like Bowie finally reaching heaven. Kaleidoscopic. A lovely little tribute. Thank you Bowie and thakn you Jonathan Barnbrook, the director of this video, and the Blackstar artwork.
Lee Saunders What a wonderful comment. I usually get super emotional at the end of this song but I've found some solace with your insight and perception. Thank you.
@@BrillCubes what did he believed? If not in heaven atheist? Or space demensions in the great big cosmos energy layers? Quantum.? I haven't followed him in person that much but would be interesting to know what he thought. Also wonder did he spoke any of the lyrics or couldn't he really not tell it all, like the text lyric I can't give everything away? Also the videos im struck with and shapes and meaning onto this album
He died exactly 2 weeks after my mother died of lung cancer. She was 60 and she loved David Bowie and of course I inherited her good taste. I was raised on him. I miss them both. Her maiden name was Jones too. 💗
I want to start this by saying I wasn't a huge Bowie fan. Actually the day before he died I made a playlist of songs by him in order to get into him more. It was the release of this album that intrigued me. I remember seeing "NEW BOWIE!" Everywhere online so I thought let's check out a good bit of his stuff while we're at it and I made a playlist of 30-40 songs. The next morning it said Bowie had passed. I was thinking to myself this is so crazy. His death left a pretty big impact on my because I am a cancer survivor. I only wish he would have survived too, what a great human being.
+Fighterx14 I remember that for a few days before he passed, I kept thinking about wanting to watch Labyrith. My boyfriend's not into those kinds of movies, so I put it off. Then he passed. My boyfriend had just happened to be scrolling through channels and he settled for Jimmy Fallon (which we rarely watch) I think it was. As soon as we put it on, they started this segment showing moments from the past where they'd had Bowie on the show.
The same thing happened with DB as did Freddie Mercury. By which I mean both were getting a lot of airplay and/or there was a lot of promotion of upcoming releases and stuff. A short time after they released an album/single(s) both had died without a hint of anything being wrong except maybe some lyrics. The difference being Bowie managed to keep a low profile with the media in the last 12 years of his life, FM couldnt get them off his case
First let me congratulate you on surviving cancer, and thank you for wanting to get familiar with David Bowie. Now on my own personal level, after both hearing the album and the story surrounding why it was made, I've gained a lot of respect for David Bowie. The day he met with his doctors and they gave him the grim diagnosis that there was nothing more they could do for him and that his days on this Earth were limited, at that time he could have spent the rest of his life on a beach in Hawaii if he wanted to, but he didn't, he went into the same studio that he had recorded his previous album, the next day, and delivered his swan song, a beautifully written, produced, engineered musical manuscript of the final days of one of the greatest musical artists of all time. A sad yet beautiful album chronicling how the man felt about death and the feeling about how his life was slowly ending, all throughout the album we hear a man struggling but finally coming to terms with his life and finally letting go which is no doubt what David was doing in his final days.
I was exactly the same, wasn’t the biggest fan but I love Labyrinth as a kid. I remember seeing the black star poster not realising it was Bowie and think ‘that’s a really cool design’. I grown to love his work and appreciate him as a artist. He definitely changed music forever. I also saw Lazarus in London and didn’t realise how many of his songs I knew without knowing they were his.
It's ironic how he sang out "I can't give everything away", in spite of giving us everything he got... his talent, his charisma, his mighty work, his beautiful mind, his art. You gave us everything, Sir. No doubt about it. Happy 75th birthday, my king. Damn! This song makes me mourn his passing every time I give a listen to it.
It's really cathartic because as I interpret it, I feel like he wanted to do more music so his last goodbye was not that we won't give everything but he actually couldn't give everything, we will never know if he had more to offer but I'm sure he did.
@@Daniel-jz9td of course he did. He never lost any touch with upcoming trends. I wonder if people like Lorde or Tame Impala would have worked with him if he was still alive.
For some reason I interpreted it as him telling himself "I can't give everything away" because he is throwing all his energy into his music and fans leaving himself feeling drained at the end of it. He has to keep some secrets and joys to himself or it destroys him but also his image to the public.
even after death the legend leaves a final piece for us to enjoy. it reminds me of how even though a star burns out, its light can still travel for years to come and remain in the sky even though it has already passed. Bowie really is a Starman in some way
I can't help it, it's hard listening to this without shedding tears. Does anyone feel the same after 9 months already? I miss DB like he was part of the family..... Indeed he's become part of us all.
I accept he was here, influenced us all, then left. I feel the poignancy, but I am inspired by his bravery. Do I dare be that brave in being myself without fear?
I Almost cried when I Saw the video on my suscriptions. I really dont know why, but i swear I still missing Bowie so much, but im gratefull for live on the Bowie's Time.
The great beauty of this single being released so long after his death is this-----since David knew he was dying, and since it has become obvious that Blackstar was his way of saying goodbye----it becomes very clear that this song was orchestrated as David's way of speaking to us from the other side. I have no doubt that this is how he planned it. When you listen to the lyrics with this in mind, it absolutely gives you goosebumps. " I can't give everything away" is speaking of the mysteries of what happens after "death". It absolutely boggles the mind.
I'm glad this song was officially released. It's the lone track from Blackstar that (to me) had an optimistic feel to end off a very dark album. I guess no one will ever know if it would have been David's choice, but in a post Bowie world, we need his music now more than ever.
Despite its other nuances, I think about this song as a proclamation of a live well-lived. The old adage, "you can't take it with you" is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear Bowie's repeated verse "I can't give everything away". He was able to cultivate immaterial wealth and meaning in his life- things that you CAN take with you and maybe the only things that you can't give away completely at your death. There are other sentiments in the song as well, like reluctance to leave the beauty of this life behind. The song conveys a deep sorrow and existential torment, but also ultimate triumph and gratitude along with a sense of existential thrill. To use one phrase that encompasses so much is truly a touch of genius. Such captivating words to leave us with. That he was here at all and millions of other people are still receiving these words... life is just astounding. That's what I hear in this song.
you should look into Michael Jackson, 2pac and Elvis if you wanna talk about music released after death. Michael Jackson had one released in 2014 that's went to number 2
Love the way the little spaceman disappears into space, very fitting, from Space Oddity to this song, you gave us so much David, and we will always remember and love you.
When I received Blackstar on Jan 8th, this was the song that I had on repeat. I cried & danced all weekend listening to it, because it is so beautiful. Now I cry when I play it because it sounds so different than before Jan 10th. The world just feels different now. (Mr Bowie has been my musical god for over 38yrs)
I love this song... My heart still feels tight when I hear his voice when I remember that he is gone... His music is such a beautiful gift to this world. David, you gave so much... Thank you...
I adore this song. I love the affectionate, parting statement from David about the mysteries of meaning within his songs: "Saying no, but meaning yes. This is all I ever meant. ... I can't give everything away."

He's The Man Who Sold The World, he knows very well there's a price to just giving everything away, and there's consequences he's not going to be able to be there to own. Nice. Tidy. No loose ends. No flies on our David.
The harmonica from New Career in a New Town being used in this song is so Bowie. The rebirth after his drug years, tying into his death. The man couldnt stop being legendary even if he tried rip king.
2:12 it's right about here that you remember this is the last Bowie song. This is it. This is how he says goodbye. You don't want the song to end because that will be it. You want it to go on forever. You don't want to say goodbye.
One of my brothers said that davids last album was depressing as he was singing lyrics about his impending death im bi polar and have battled depression for many years davids music has always up lifted me im not depressed any more im still on meds for my bi polar RIP david miss you sydney australia 1 nov 2022
If David Bowie is in heaven, then I can see him young again. I can see him ruling his underground kindom. He is still singing and dancing. He is still writing songs, and doing what he loves. He is be exactly what he want's to be and doing what he want's to do. He is playing any role he want's to. He is making love with his ego, and he is raising his children above... and God is welcoming one of his proudest creations home. This is what I want to belive...So that is how it is. ♡ R.I.P my first love.
+Whispered sins I like to think of him in Heaven catching up with old friends like John Lennon and Lou Reed, and getting the chance to meet all the interesting people like Brecht and Mozart and daVinci that he was born too late to know in person. I never got to meet him in this life; perhaps in the next one.
The Skoolmustard not true. he was inspired mostly by dylan and motown artists. he is a true artist in every sense of the word, i will never refer to him in past tense. though he's not here mortally, he is still with us. rest well major tom.
My Dad bought David Bowie's Blackstar album for my 22nd Birthday this year I asked him could he buy this album because I really love the songs Blackstar, Lazarus, and I Can't Give Everything away.
Maybe he became a muse when he passed...He touched the heart and soul of so many people ...without him this life( when is comes to music) would not be as interesting...
I'll never forget you David. You gave everything of yourself to us. No other can ever take your place. You will forever remain in our hearts, broken as they are...
"Saying no, but meaning yes"............................................................. His voice was FLAWLESS!!! Right up to the end................................that is SOOOOOO BOWIE!!!!! PERFECT!!!! In every way!!!!!
I read as many comments as I can, and I want to thank everyone. It's not so lonely knowing lots of you feel as I do. not knowing the man had such a gift. I personally feel he was more spiritual than he thought he was. So honest in his music. I felt badly for him in his younger years when interviewers really gave him a tough time, just to get a few snickers from audiences. He matured and grew, and really I thought his best years were the last years of his life. The added weight really made him look fantastic.
He gave us enough he gave me hope peace and the courage to be myself now the world his a sadder place without him but he will never be forgotten he will live on through his music now it's our responsibility to teach our children about him and what a difference he made
There isn't much I wouldn't do to get this man back. I always thought I wouldn't to care much about someone I never knew but there are no words to explain how I feel knowing that he is gone. I am incredibly grateful to know that his memory and his music will never die.
I love that he reused the harmonica riff from "A new career in a new town" so much. My roommate started crying when he was listening to this and remembered where he'd heard it before.
😢 I really wish this entire album had music videos. His are just fun and enjoyable to watch, not that the songs themselves are any lesser. He used the literal last drops of energy he had to get these songs made. He died days after they came out.

RIP
Rest IN Peace 😢
He had demos for his next album already when he died so those'll probably get released in a few years but yea this is the last finished one :(
Concox it's still being released
Concox yeah not exactly. its the last song on his last album but not necessarily the last he recorded
hopefully there are few in the vaults they can dig out.
If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
@Pete K Sweet isn't it
somehow i managed to be born the same day as him, but 50 years later

Agreed. He went out like an artist. Not many people can pull that off.
That's what make me cry, the beauty of a man knowing this is it, and making this final gift. Such magnificent humanity.
It is upbeat. It's a 'moving down the road' song. Adieu.
Spot on comment... X
and what for a last album....i think it s one of his best ever and as a last album..... it can be considered brilliant,honest.... Bowie was a Genius
The harmonica is from "A New Career In A New Town" from Bowie's "Low" album. Here are some tissues. You're welcome.
Wow, some reference there. How very sad!
Yup. Just Bowie once again telling us he's moving on.
You are spot on
thanks for enlighten us. uff
the first time I heard this song that harmonica cut right to my core and I lost it at that realization
love you Dad miss you so much this one's for you #always xxx

even after two years and a half.

i was ill when i saw the breaking news of his dead on my phone. i cried a full week. my youth is gone....
this man... Days away from dying and still gives us another banger. Truly a great singer
Even while battling a crippling illness, his voice was still powerful. I still haven't come to terms with his passing, probably never will.

+NintendoCraft13 he's up there floating in his tin can
The album is truly the greatest finale of this century. It's not easy to listen to the music because of Bowie's death. Still it's perfect!
I cry every time I hear this song. It reminds me of my sweet little Lacey who crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years ago. I miss her dearly.
You can hear that the harmonica intro is a nod to harmonica intro to A New Career in a New Town, from Low.
My Heart still hurts. Thank you for the music Mr Jones xxx

He went to mars

His spirit lives on.

Bowie spoke LOUD in Blackstar .. and the extended version (Killing a little time , No Plan , and When I Met You) I don’t blame him …
One of the best Singers now singing beyond the unverse ... Foreve loved and admired by the universe....
Wunderschön. Bei mir kullern immer Tränen wenn ich diesen Song höre.
Rest in peace sweet prince
If David Bowie is in heaven, then I can see him young again. I can see him ruling his underground kindom. He is still singing and dancing. He is still writing songs, and doing what he loves. He is be exactly what he want's to be and doing what he want's to do. He is playing any role he want's to. He is making love with his ego, and he is raising his children above... and God is welcoming one of his proudest creations home. This is what I want to belive...So that is how it is. ♡ R.I.P my first love.
+Whispered sins I like to think of him in Heaven catching up with old friends like John Lennon and Lou Reed, and getting the chance to meet all the interesting people like Brecht and Mozart and daVinci that he was born too late to know in person. I never got to meet him in this life; perhaps in the next one.
+Rebecca B Don't forget Syd Barrett, the singer that inspired him to sing in the first place
The Skoolmustard not true. he was inspired mostly by dylan and motown artists. he is a true artist in every sense of the word, i will never refer to him in past tense. though he's not here mortally, he is still with us. rest well major tom.
The harmonica is from "A New Career in a New Town" and it certainly is a new career in a new town for David
Lovely way to think of it
My Dad bought David Bowie's Blackstar album for my 22nd Birthday this year I asked him could he buy this album because I really love the songs Blackstar, Lazarus, and I Can't Give Everything away.
I just remembered how much pain I had when he died
Maybe he became a muse when he passed...He touched the heart and soul of so many people ...without him this life( when is comes to music) would not be as interesting...
I miss his music so much. Thank you, David.
I'll never forget you David. You gave everything of yourself to us. No other can ever take your place. You will forever remain in our hearts, broken as they are...
Such a gorgeous style it just hit me all over again that this beautiful person has passed
He prepared every detail of his farewell in this video. he loved his art and also us
What a bittersweet gift.
Just how I feel. :')
Jesus, this song is a spear in my heart that I still haven't yet been able to pull out.
this is one of the most beautiful yet saddening songs ever.
"Saying no, but meaning yes"............................................................. His voice was FLAWLESS!!! Right up to the end................................that is SOOOOOO BOWIE!!!!! PERFECT!!!! In every way!!!!!
I read as many comments as I can, and I want to thank everyone. It's not so lonely knowing lots of you feel as I do. not knowing the man had such a gift. I personally feel he was more spiritual than he thought he was. So honest in his music. I felt badly for him in his younger years when interviewers really gave him a tough time, just to get a few snickers from audiences. He matured and grew, and really I thought his best years were the last years of his life. The added weight really made him look fantastic.
He gave us enough he gave me hope peace and the courage to be myself now the world his a sadder place without him but he will never be forgotten he will live on through his music now it's our responsibility to teach our children about him and what a difference he made
Seeing this makes the loss fresh again today. And that's not a bad thing.
I love this album and because of personal events in his life, it's almost like this is a concept album.
David Bowie's Blackstar Album is everything special
I was born in the right generation, a generation where I was able to exist between a music legends life
But what you did give away was some of the finest art in the past 100 years.
Keep what you what, Mr. Bowie. You gave this world plenty, already.
There are no words to describe the power here.
Gave more than enough,more inspiration than most could dream.God speed!
Can't seem to stop the sadness of losing him. He is gone and I can't get over it. Love you David.
There isn't much I wouldn't do to get this man back. I always thought I wouldn't to care much about someone I never knew but there are no words to explain how I feel knowing that he is gone. I am incredibly grateful to know that his memory and his music will never die.
he' s already given us so much, he owes us nothing- Love u David
he's the brightest star at night
I love that he reused the harmonica riff from "A new career in a new town" so much. My roommate started crying when he was listening to this and remembered where he'd heard it before.
Is this a message from the stars?
Our starman is fine! (Tears)
It's like watching his spirit travel to Heaven. RIP David - we miss you!
A brilliant last release from Bowie, he is an inspiration, and has given everything away. His music will last forever. RIP
this is so powerful
Bowie, you will be forever missed
God, I miss this MAN!!!!
"A New Career in a New Town" is hidden there, somewhere. Thanks, Bowie.
I miss you Mr Jones. I will forever love you
Imagine needing to write a song you know will cap off your entire legacy and also be your final farewell in life.
You gave us plenty David. We thank you! RIP.
I know this album is kind of a goodbye, but I honestly just love the music in it, it's super beautiful.
You will be missed Mr. Bowie. Thank you for everything!
Well I think David Bowie gave me a lot - some music took a ltttle while - but what a treasure - thanks for a the amazing moments of just pure joy!!!
My heart is devastated, this is beautiful !!
Thank you for taking us on an amazing journey you painted for us with your words, lyrics, and craft. You were an awe inspiring gift to humanity.
He has gone, but I can feel him very close to me. Thank you, Jonathan Barnbrook!!!
😢 I really wish this entire album had music videos. His are just fun and enjoyable to watch, not that the songs themselves are any lesser.
He used the literal last drops of energy he had to get these songs made. He died days after they came out.
