David Bowie is my favorite singer, and it's my birthday and if he was still alive it would be his too. I'm turning fourteen today and it makes me so sad that I am alive and this amazing person isn't.
Sloth Is Love Sloth Is Life I understand that, but if I listed everything he was then this post would be way too long. He was best known for being a music artist.
Would most of you agree? David was the best friend you never met? Always there (in music) when you needed him, always had the right words to say, always soothed you....
I agree. I just recently became a fan of Bowie (so unfortunate that nobody else in my family is a fan otherwise I'd have probably found an album lying around the house earlier than when I got into Queen and listened to Under Pressure, I'd have been a Bowie fan way sooner) and being 14 his music always manages to soothe me whenever hormones take control - like a best friend telling you to cool your jets if someone's been annoying you. Makes teenage life much easier.
He was the best , he taught me so much about music, literature, movies. I was lucky to meet him briefly as a fan a couple of times and ask him a question, then follow him, and he was so nice and noticed a true fan asking important questions among the bs of shallow conversation. He was such a presence and I’m glad we got to have his music forever, to accompany us, show us clues into literary references, and give us joy.
So many beautiful references: Newton Electronics, Foxgrove Rd, the kid wearing red shoes, from Foxgrove Rd a crowd starting to build which becomes an international crowd, a bluebird flying, a rocket ship takes off, all is gone again. And I love the emphasis on the words, letting Bowie's lyrics speak for themselves. Just after the lyric 'this is not quite yet' we get a flash of future Bowie on the TV screens. Beautiful video. Well done Tom Hingston.
if you even saw the boy's red shoes, how couldn't you see ''china girl'' ? this is actually the girl from that clip I guess (just compared). also the fragment from the entering scene to 'the man who fell to earth' on 3:32
@@rico_Vident in the documentary 'Cracked Actor' Bowie holds up one of his Kansai Yamamoto 'Ziggy' costumes and reads the label out to camera "Yamamoto Kansai...Dry cleaning only!" It became one of the many 'catchphrases' from the film ....a bit obscure but....
All this prog, jazzy music he was doing in his last times are extremely exotic and beautiful to hear. Simply a musical genius, this is a whole new level of legend and status that Bowie achieved and for that he will be remembered for ever.
Giving my age away I was at the original Ziggy Stardust concert at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park North London in 1971. The most amazing concert and it was like a theatrical show, with Lindsay Kemp and his Troupe ( he taught Bowie mime) and the last song was a 20-25 mins version of Life on Mars with screaming guitar solo from Mick Ronson absolutely incredible. What I can’t believe is no one recored it The supporting act was Roxy Music having just released their 1st album. One incredible night. R.I.P. David.
Love on ya stranger! I know, it's tough, but it's also beautiful and so typical David, playing this little trick on us that is at the same time so loving of him. Giving us music, after having taken his leave. Maybe wanting to remind us not to take anything too serious; not him nor ourselves and even less "death"
Haunting. This video arguably more powerful than Lazarus just for the fact that he's never seen. You really get the sense that it's his spirit speaking to us from beyond the grave. He's not dead he's just in a different place
That's what I don't understand. It doesn't seem clear that he is a believer in JESUS. I was a great fan since a teenager. It hurts because I am not sure.
Serene and surreal. This man is a true legend. Legit almost cried hearing this, cuz he probably thought of this song, and wrote it in 2015, months before he died… 69 isn’t that old, but he gave us all a true parting gift with his last album. Just think, this is art from a dying man. Some of us are too lazy to clean our room, and here he is, making music, being strong, and shining, up till the end. He transcends..
Wow, I am breathless and with a tiny tear on the corner of my eye. This took me out of reality for a minute and made me happy inside because I knew for the while I watched this that Bowie was alive and the universe is beautiful.
Last year, at the end of Lazarus, Bowie disappeared into a wardrobe - the last thing you saw was his hand. I had a powerful feeling that soon afterwards, a posthumous record would be released, with a video of the wardrobe door opening and Bowie stepping back into the world to sing one last song. After a while I gave it up as wish-fulfillment fantasy. Now it looks like Mr Newton is back with a last message for us earthlings left behind. Now let's live.
This song is being released on a posthumous EP called "No Plan" that Bowie wanted released. The 4 songs that will be on this EP were the last songs written by Bowie.
Bailey Crawly Visconti made it pretty clear after Bowie passed that they had made multiple plans for releasing songs or compilations after he died. And it's not like this song isn't available already on the Lazarus soundtrack
"Newton" electronics pings HARD for me. I never got to see him live, but being raised in Bowie, MD with folks from Newton, KS? He was a Beltway sensation to Space Race dreamers fans of Newtonian physics... sciences.. conspiracy theories and truths. Black Stars of deep thoughts... What an amazing freak of nature we're missing.
Justin B - EXACTLY! Still think he might have something else up his sleeve! If you saw the BBC doc, The Last Five Years, last night, the band said they each had to sign an NDA before helping him record The Next Day! So people could still be keeping secrets! Love this guy so much! What a gift to give us all for HIS birthday! :D
mrnoah why is every comment acting like this is new??it was played on radio about a month back and and released on vinyl with 2 other new tracks. good tune tho
Lourdes Arviso He went back to his planet... and was given the green light to give us as many clues as he can and allowed to. This video is about UFO disclosure and truth of other life
1969 to 1979 yea sure Then he became David vegas appearing everywhere It was embarrassing to see him sell out after LETS DANCE TONIGHT the follow up was bland Then he drifted along relying on his old catalogue. The very awful GLASS SPIDER TOUR JEEZ I WENT AND IT WAS EXCRUTIATING to see the decline of a GREAT artist
@@steffanhoffmann8937 You missed several great albums from 1990 onwards, but I guess this kind of comments make you feel interesting (SPOILERS: you're not).
Here There’s no music here I’m lost in streams of sound Here am I nowhere now? No Plan Wherever I may go Just where Just there I am All of the things that are my life My desires My beliefs My moods Here is my place without a plan Here Second avenue, just out of view Here Is no traffic here? No plan All the things that are my life My moods My beliefs My desires Me alone Nothing to regret This is no place, but here I am This is not quite yet
sir doge AKA luis carter2989 it's depressing reading comments on TH-cam. kinda makes u realise what a bunch of morons people are. sat at home starin at a screen more interested in squabbling than listening to the music
anyone else notice the blue bird mentioned in song Lazarus "You know, I'll be free. Just like that bluebird" I feel like this song is speaking about the afterlife and the concept there is no plan, he is free.
These is exactly 1 person who could pull this off. 1 person in history who could write and record a song that is clearly only meant to be released after he passed and that man was David Bowie. Putting this out a year after he passed is a pure Bowie move that no one else could ever pull off. A true artist.
When I got this notification, I just completely broke down in tears. Before even listening to what lie ahead I was already a mess. Being able to hear the man that changed everything, made me who I am today....Hearing his voice one more time just gave me a sudden sense of closure. The final frame with a picture of David Bowie from years ago, perfect health and changing the world, or selling it, was amazing. Thank you David Bowie for giving me a chance to be myself. Well miss you Starman, Thin White Duke, Major Tom or whoever you and wherever you are.
I came here to cry, I need to. What Bowie left me are tears, falling tears that follow joy, pain, doubt, peace, sadness, wisdom... life. I came here today because my tears are my tribute and way to say "thank you" to him. Thank you, David.
That would be something. Yeah, this is so typical David, poking a little fun of us in this loving and generous way. His sense of humor never left him, the Lovable rascal..
This made me smile slightly. I'm thankful for it, because I was just starting to feel thoroughly depressed after watching this. That would indeed me something! I just hope they do not milk his death like they're doing to Kurt Cobain now (still releasing his old mix-tapes and diary scraps after more than 20 years)
Serai3 who was he signed to? I think the record lables should make contract in such a manner, that in a case of death the profit goes to some charity (like cancer research or shelter for parentless children) - this way no body would profit from a death of a man/woman
How very peculiar, I have been playing this song all morning, over and over, hoping that there would be a clip made for it. Happy 70th darling Bowie and thanks for this wonderful surprise. Love the name of the store and at the end, the space ship fading out and Bowie's face appearing. Tears all over the place, such an incredible man, miss you so very much.
There will be no one like Bowie again. I seen him in Toronto on the Serious Moonlight tour and still have the official tour book that was sold on the grounds. Probably a collectors item now. These last videos and songs are drenched with death, without coming at it head on. Very unique and brave.
Foxgrove Rd is where David had a flat in 1969. Thomas Jerome Newton is "The Man Who Fell To Earth" (the shop is called "Newton") - there's also the bluebird from "Lazarus" - "Just like that bluebird I know I'll be free"... then the rocket lanch at the end. The man who fell to earth has gone home. One year after his death and he is still leaving bread crumb trails to follow. Amazing. Just genius.
you know, I wouldn't even be mad if in 3 days, this channel releases a video of Bowie laughing while saying, "I'm not really dead, you guys." Turns out Blackstar was just another one of his bizarre characters, like Ziggy Stardust. I'd laugh with him, he'd be the troll of all time.
I couldn't be mad but I know he's gone. He left many broken hearts.....his wife, his son, his daughter and all us fans. There is no way he would let us suffer in the kind of pain we've all been feeling at his loss.
he was only alive for 10 days of 2016 and showed every other artist how to bring out a groundbreaking album and now in 2017 he's gone and he's still doing it.
David Bowie is still an amazing, out of this world artist. Is like something beyond this world. His music give me so much undiscovered feelings... Everything about him is pure art.
i don't know if anyone feels the same. but after bowie's passed away, every time i hear his music i get mixed feelings like sadness along with lots of fulfillment. while on the other hand, i think we don't have the right to be sad about his death, cause according to his beliefs and also to his wishes, dying isn't supposed to be a bad thing at all (and i agree with that). blackstar explains it all. i repeat that to myself so i don't get overwhelmed, because on my saddest days that's when the thought of him (his arwork) arrives. and it gets me. he knows it all. and i'm so thankful for this, he's still alive somehow through the songs
This is the song that keeps me going. I remember when I first found this on Vimeo (before it was both on TH-cam or iTunes), I was in my hotel looking out at the city lights up to the Empire State Building (my hotel had an amazing view). But as I listened to this and looked down to see the dimly lit streets to see people bustling around, living their own lives, this made me love NYC. Each and every person has their own story and reasons for what they do, but we’re all connected and united because of the city in which they share. And honestly it may sound like nothing or even stupid but honest to God thinking about that snowy December night while I listen to this brings me to tears with how happy and peaceful I feel. This is my pure bliss.
He'd written 4 songs to fill in story gaps for his musical Lazarus. Afterward he told them he was going to put one of them (Lazarus) on his new studio album as well because he really liked it. He also went ahead and recorded the other 3 which were released on disc 2 of the Lazarus cast recording album. I had the sense that they were recorded at a later date than Blackstar...not sure if that's the case though.
This song and music video from the late great David Bowie is just one of the most beautiful songs and music videos by a popular artist that I have EVER come across. I don't think no more needs to be said. R.I.P David Bowie. You and your music will NEVER be forgotten.
This video could totally represent David Bowie's whole life : A lonely machine, playing by and for themself. Then, people (representing us) passing by, stopping and watching what he is showing us about the world ... And finally while we were all around, astonished and looking at him ("Blackstar" release), suddenly, as fast as a car passes by, the transmission resumed, life is now on the other side. Everything is over.
Released in a perfect moment....his last thoughts... Even when he knew he was dying, he kept fighting..."this is not quite yet". The last stage of cancer is horrendous...but his will to live was strong. He is and always be my hero.
I am 12 years old right now. My mom introduced David Bowie to me when I was about 10. We adored him and still do. I learned how amazing and beautiful he IS. Not WAS. All I remember when he died is that my mom came into my room to wake me up for school bawling. She was heartbroken to tell me what happened. Every time I hear a song of his I hold back tears. There have been so many character David Jones played. And each of them amazing! I love him and will continue to love him for the rest of my life. RIP Mr. Jones, we all love you!
I feel you. I grew up on Classic rock but Bowie wasn't something played on the station, except Fame. But it wasn't until May of 2017 or so when I found Bowie and I hit it hard. Spent that entire summer listening to all his albums, all his songs. Watching live concerts and interviews, his life. I feel like it's an entire life lived with him. Might hurt people that I've been with Bowie for so short of time when people here have been with him for decades, but Bowie lives on through us
Hello everclairew. Thank you for your comments. I'm 61 years old and everytime I hear this song I feel sad and it brings me tears too. This particular song (and few others from David Bowie) is beautiful and rather sad. I followed Mr. David Jones for decades. I felt a deep sorrow when he passed away, like he was from my own family. And I was surprised to feel that way a loss of a person I never met. He was an exceptionally talented artist who worked til his last days. I have a deep belief that God is so wonderful that would not allow the loss of our lessons learned, the knowledge we achieved and the love we share throughout our lifetime to just vanish with the death of our very limited bodies. So, I'm sure Mr. David is now in another dimension with his spirit endlessly evolving in knowledge and being prepared for new adventures somewhere in this amazing universe. In the end nothing is lost; just transfered to somewhere else. And I love him too.
So beautiful and so painful. I was wondering , incredible , how a human being can touch our soul and lives with this kind of essence and magic ? True Bowie. Everyday I think about him and just love all about him, during my business, and my meetings here in Europe. Thank you, Mr. Jones, for keeping my love for life. Cheers !
Canciones como esta valen más que carreras enteras. Pone los pelos de punta la letra y la forma que tiene de cantarla, la despedida de este mundo de alguien con quien hemos tenido la fortuna de coincidir en el tiempo.
It's nice to see this song finally get a TH-cam release. I share a birthday with Bowie and always look forward to being surprised by new music when it rolls around. Happy Birthday, David. Everyone says hi.
A total artist...this song is the proof that with just few notes and a great urge for communication music can be the greatest wonder of the universe. Bowie knew this and here's what we got...so much heartfelt, so much immense...thank you David...R.I.P.
Cette voix est inégalable et restera à jamais inégalée:la seule à transmettre autant d'émotions Tout simplement unique : dire que d'après bon nombre de ses amis , david n'aimait pas tellement sa voix.......
Bailey Crawly no he recorded it for his musical, 'Lazarus', and this song as well as two others were released on the soundtrack in November. With them now just coming out separately on a 4 track EP, also called No Plan.
***** don't assume it wasn't either. i remember this time last year tony visconti saying after bIackstar there was new material he was excited about and he was at rehearsals round that time so who knows? sure he would have been fine with the video in theory, not sure it's execution is quite his thing.
He didn't want to be buried, but he wanted to express himself for a last time, his agony, suffering, hope, all the things he was feeling putted in the art he used all his life, music
😢 Our birthday was Sunday. When he died my heart was broken. He has colored my world so vividly and I'm forever grateful. RIP my idol and birthday buddy. Your legacy will live on.
Nossa como você faz falta nesse mundo careta! Pena que você partiu tão cedo, tinha tanta coisa ainda pra fazer e nos lega essa saudade doida que não passa! Ainda bem que. nos deixou sua música, seu melhor legado e até o último minuto aí dá compôs pra gente. Te amamos cara, obrigado por tudo!
Aw Bowie, dear David. . once again you seem to be just around that otherdimensional corner, not far away at all . . Yet I miss you. I cherish the feel of your voice, it goes so deep, as it always has. Just absolutely Love you forever
Interesting how the TV shop is called "Newton Electrical". And the rocket at the end, making me thing that Thomas Jerome Newton got back to his home planet finally. Love that detail. Stop digging around with only 4 Bowie albums, especially ziggy stardust. Bowie was an artist where you MUST love all 26 albums.

Exactly. _Blackstar_ is the cries of a man wrestling with impending mortality, and this is his transcendence of mortality.
ThinWhiteAxe that’s me at 1:15
Yes, but I need to know if he believed in Jesus, on earth!!!!!
Annette Supira He believed, but not in a protestant or orthodox christian way: he was a gnostic, an esoteric, a black star.
That's what I don't understand. It doesn't seem clear that he is a believer in JESUS. I was a great fan since a teenager. It hurts because I am not sure.
God, it hurts to hear his beautiful voice.
When will it stop hurting...

I had a powerful feeling that soon afterwards, a posthumous record would be released, with a video of the wardrobe door opening and Bowie stepping back into the world to sing one last song.

Now let's live.
This song is being released on a posthumous EP called "No Plan" that Bowie wanted released. The 4 songs that will be on this EP were the last songs written by Bowie.
I have no words to describe the beautiful feeling your words gave me.
If he ddidn't want them to be released why would he record them?
Bailey Crawly Visconti made it pretty clear after Bowie passed that they had made multiple plans for releasing songs or compilations after he died. And it's not like this song isn't available already on the Lazarus soundtrack
It's like he's speaking to us from beyond the grave.
It IS
EXACTLY
He is. He wants us to know he's okay, wherever he is.
I know.remarkable.👍
He's pushed our backs against the grain and fooled us all once again.
the lyrics gave me chills, man. like he's pondering the state of just...'not being'. its undeniable he was aware of his fate
3:53 Newton Electrical. How clever!!
3:12 And the comet? It was the man who fell to earth. Thomas Jerome Newton
MarIrisFM and street sign at the beginning... Bowie lived.on Foxgrove Road in London for a time..
He gave us a very sweet goodbye. I miss him more than I realized. Definitely respect him more... his talent was amazing
The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness
Thank you, I wish you the same, Bowie forever
same to you
I READ IT..thanx a lot ..and when you read this..i wish you the same.
Mannnnnnn.....this was dope!!!! Rest In Paradise
Lul, if paradise existed, he wouldn't be there. Haunted by demons and doing tons of coke in his earlier days, probably wouldn't get you to paradise.
Oompa Loompa He had months to live. He had time to be forgiven and go to Heaven.
And that's why christian religion is stupid
You atheists just can't pass up a chance to piss in people's faces, can you? And you wonder why everyone else thinks you're nasty.
Drugo's boiate that's why ur utube name is drugo
Didn't expect to get this notification
Totally unexpected.
Really?? Been expecting it since 10th Jan! David ALWAYS had a plan! Surely you knew that!
Posted just after it turned January 8th in England. Happy Birthday David!
"Newton" electronics pings HARD for me. I never got to see him live, but being raised in Bowie, MD with folks from Newton, KS?
He was a Beltway sensation to Space Race dreamers fans of Newtonian physics... sciences.. conspiracy theories and truths.

When a dead man is dropping better music than most people alive right now.
note how it says Newton Electrical... reminds us of Thomas Newton, the character he played in The Man Who Fell to Earth
Eunwon Cho yes I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad someone else noticed too.
cancels I
So Newton survived after all, though he had to live on earth alone...
Eunwon Cho plus he developed electronics lol
the song was from the musical he wrote 'lazarus' based on the character
Even after his death he still suprises us. 💜
Defenitely in tears over this. Thank you for thinking of us, brilliant man!
Frances Luna I believe this song is on the Lazarus musical album
PJ yes it is.
Absolutely.im.still discovering beautifully poetically brilliant music ,song of Bowie's.Amazing.
His music will live on forever.

Ryan Smith thanks for missing the point
tired of you morons joking about it and people who started listening to him after his death
So calm, so melancholic, gone is the pain. It's only a statement of a peaceful soul. Thank you, David. Once more.
No matter how sick David became, He still created beautiful music for Us. David truly loved His fans....Rest in peace Starman... ❤️

'this is not quite yet...' and then drift away with Donny McCaslin sax... Beautiful, David, thank you.
Here
There’s no music here
I’m lost in streams of sound
Here am I nowhere now?
No Plan
Wherever I may go
Just where
Just there
I am
All of the things that are my life
My desires
My beliefs
My moods
Here is my place without a plan
Here
Second avenue, just out of view
Here
Is no traffic here?
No plan
All the things that are my life
My moods
My beliefs
My desires
Me alone
Nothing to regret
This is no place, but here I am
This is not quite yet
Thanks for this.
God, he's such a genius.
Love him, Miss him xx
Try reading the lines in reverse order, starting at the end. 😵
Space Suitor low key that's trippy
+sir doge AKA luis carter2989. Kind of like your losername. Now SCRAM, ye Troll, thou art hencefore banished !
sir doge AKA luis carter2989 it's depressing reading comments on TH-cam. kinda makes u realise what a bunch of morons people are. sat at home starin at a screen more interested in squabbling than listening to the music
Anyone else start crying both tears of joy and sadness when they saw this notification pop up?
:')
Louis Mendoza yes
Yep!!
Yes!
I still cannot listen to the whole Black Star. Already at the first tones my eyes get full of tears and I cannot swallow...
anyone else notice the blue bird mentioned in song Lazarus "You know, I'll be free. Just like that bluebird" I feel like this song is speaking about the afterlife and the concept there is no plan, he is free.
LauraDawson yes, free like a bird....free
Yes that bird makes an appearence in this video :D
David has often referred to Buddhism in many of his songs. Reincarnation thymes. Afterall he was Buddhist.
Can you name any of Bowie's songs that had Buddhism rhymes? What is the song the Superman about? Was Niche a Buddhist?
Thymes not Rhymes, my face is so red...
These is exactly 1 person who could pull this off. 1 person in history who could write and record a song that is clearly only meant to be released after he passed and that man was David Bowie. Putting this out a year after he passed is a pure Bowie move that no one else could ever pull off. A true artist.
@Lee GaryB Exactly!! You are so right.
When I got this notification, I just completely broke down in tears. Before even listening to what lie ahead I was already a mess. Being able to hear the man that changed everything, made me who I am today....Hearing his voice one more time just gave me a sudden sense of closure. The final frame with a picture of David Bowie from years ago, perfect health and changing the world, or selling it, was amazing. Thank you David Bowie for giving me a chance to be myself. Well miss you Starman, Thin White Duke, Major Tom or whoever you and wherever you are.
What a superb vocal he left us with... painful & great all at once... didn't think I'd be in this world without David Bowie... since 1974
Always that powerful soothing voice.
Lovely song.
I came here to cry, I need to.
What Bowie left me are tears, falling tears that follow joy, pain, doubt, peace, sadness, wisdom... life.
I came here today because my tears are my tribute and way to say "thank you" to him.
Thank you, David.
★ ∞
Still giving. Life was rarely so richly lived as it was in David Bowie's head.
Beautiful. So Bowie.
Now I'm wondering if he left behind a whole stack of stuff to freak everyone out with every year.
That would be something.
Yeah, this is so typical David, poking a little fun of us in this loving and generous way.
His sense of humor never left him, the Lovable rascal..
Serai3 oh, I hope so!
This made me smile slightly. I'm thankful for it, because I was just starting to feel thoroughly depressed after watching this. That would indeed me something! I just hope they do not milk his death like they're doing to Kurt Cobain now (still releasing his old mix-tapes and diary scraps after more than 20 years)
Your profile picture is amazing!
Serai3 who was he signed to? I think the record lables should make contract in such a manner, that in a case of death the profit goes to some charity (like cancer research or shelter for parentless children) - this way no body would profit from a death of a man/woman
Bowie had and always will have his own wavelength. Stay tuned.
No matter where and when this track comes on, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and listen.
How very peculiar, I have been playing this song all morning, over and over, hoping that there would be a clip made for it. Happy 70th darling Bowie and thanks for this wonderful surprise. Love the name of the store and at the end, the space ship fading out and Bowie's face appearing. Tears all over the place, such an incredible man, miss you so very much.
There will be no one like Bowie again. I seen him in Toronto on the Serious Moonlight tour and still have the official tour book that was sold on the grounds. Probably a collectors item now. These last videos and songs are drenched with death, without coming at it head on. Very unique and brave.
Foxgrove Rd is where David had a flat in 1969. Thomas Jerome Newton is "The Man Who Fell To Earth" (the shop is called "Newton") - there's also the bluebird from "Lazarus" - "Just like that bluebird I know I'll be free"... then the rocket lanch at the end. The man who fell to earth has gone home. One year after his death and he is still leaving bread crumb trails to follow. Amazing. Just genius.
お誕生日おめでとうBowieさん
TH-camであなたの歌をいつも聴けることに感謝しています。
きっと今日も世界のどこかで新しいファンが産まれているでしょう。
you know, I wouldn't even be mad if in 3 days, this channel releases a video of Bowie laughing while saying, "I'm not really dead, you guys." Turns out Blackstar was just another one of his bizarre characters, like Ziggy Stardust. I'd laugh with him, he'd be the troll of all time.
the best troll*
I'd accept being punked just to have him back again, but it won't happen. His wife and son's grief has been too real. :-(
I couldn't be mad but I know he's gone. He left many broken hearts.....his wife, his son, his daughter and all us fans. There is no way he would let us suffer in the kind of pain we've all been feeling at his loss.
Gavyn Samsung They are releasing this so they can still make money from this dead man. Glad they are taking advantage of these dumb people.
Jesus amen bro Oh, so you didn't want to hear any new david bowie songs?
Just like every year, happy birthday, David. For eternity and all the ages to come. You will always be the best. Thank you for everything.
David Bowie, surprising his fans even after death.
He knew everybody loved him
for 4 Minutes he was with us again
he was only alive for 10 days of 2016 and showed every other artist how to bring out a groundbreaking album and now in 2017 he's gone and he's still doing it.
David Bowie is still an amazing, out of this world artist. Is like something beyond this world. His music give me so much undiscovered feelings... Everything about him is pure art.
Wow, hurts its so good. Reminds me of Radiohead a bit too.
Bowie forever
smokelakes Radiohead: totally agree with you!
Yup. Kid A or Amnesiac sessions
smokelakes I can imagine Thom Yorke singing it omg
there's nothing better than find a radiohead fan randomly on the internet
I thought exactly the same! I´m a big Radiohead fan too and this reminds me a lot of No Surprises and the vibes from A Moon Shaped Pool.
i don't know if anyone feels the same. but after bowie's passed away, every time i hear his music i get mixed feelings like sadness along with lots of fulfillment. while on the other hand, i think we don't have the right to be sad about his death, cause according to his beliefs and also to his wishes, dying isn't supposed to be a bad thing at all (and i agree with that). blackstar explains it all. i repeat that to myself so i don't get overwhelmed, because on my saddest days that's when the thought of him (his arwork) arrives. and it gets me. he knows it all. and i'm so thankful for this, he's still alive somehow through the songs
David Bowie, is, was and will always remain one of the greatest artists to have ever lived. No words in the English language can do him justice.
This is the song that keeps me going. I remember when I first found this on Vimeo (before it was both on TH-cam or iTunes), I was in my hotel looking out at the city lights up to the Empire State Building (my hotel had an amazing view). But as I listened to this and looked down to see the dimly lit streets to see people bustling around, living their own lives, this made me love NYC. Each and every person has their own story and reasons for what they do, but we’re all connected and united because of the city in which they share. And honestly it may sound like nothing or even stupid but honest to God thinking about that snowy December night while I listen to this brings me to tears with how happy and peaceful I feel. This is my pure bliss.
WHAT IS THIS? UNRELEASED TRACK FROM BLACKSTAR?
Matt Xanax is it?!
Lazarus soundtrack
Agun Wiriadisasra Its from Lazarus musical
i love the musical it was great. in my town there is going to be a david bowie Orchestra
He'd written 4 songs to fill in story gaps for his musical Lazarus. Afterward he told them he was going to put one of them (Lazarus) on his new studio album as well because he really liked it. He also went ahead and recorded the other 3 which were released on disc 2 of the Lazarus cast recording album. I had the sense that they were recorded at a later date than Blackstar...not sure if that's the case though.
"This is not quite yet"
This always give me goosebumps
Happy Birthday to David Bowie. He was the most wonderful person in the world I've ever met.
Can anyone else just feel the emotion in his voice? Amazing
true.
A trembling voice... 🧡
miss you every single day.❤
Rest in peace, Goblin King.
This song and music video from the late great David Bowie is just one of the most beautiful songs and music videos by a popular artist that I have EVER come across.
I don't think no more needs to be said.
R.I.P David Bowie.
You and your music will NEVER be forgotten.
This video could totally represent David Bowie's whole life :
A lonely machine, playing by and for themself. Then, people (representing us) passing by, stopping and watching what he is showing us about the world ...
And finally while we were all around, astonished and looking at him ("Blackstar" release), suddenly, as fast as a car passes by, the transmission resumed, life is now on the other side. Everything is over.
His voice kinda reminds me of seeing an old friend. Been awhile since I listened to him.
Released in a perfect moment....his last thoughts... Even when he knew he was dying, he kept fighting..."this is not quite yet". The last stage of cancer is horrendous...but his will to live was strong. He is and always be my hero.
I am 12 years old right now. My mom introduced David Bowie to me when I was about 10. We adored him and still do. I learned how amazing and beautiful he IS. Not WAS. All I remember when he died is that my mom came into my room to wake me up for school bawling. She was heartbroken to tell me what happened. Every time I hear a song of his I hold back tears. There have been so many character David Jones played. And each of them amazing! I love him and will continue to love him for the rest of my life. RIP Mr. Jones, we all love you!
I feel you. I grew up on Classic rock but Bowie wasn't something played on the station, except Fame. But it wasn't until May of 2017 or so when I found Bowie and I hit it hard. Spent that entire summer listening to all his albums, all his songs. Watching live concerts and interviews, his life. I feel like it's an entire life lived with him. Might hurt people that I've been with Bowie for so short of time when people here have been with him for decades, but Bowie lives on through us
l love your pure words. My son have twelve years too and he knows his work in the world of music.
everclairew dwen gyimah is one of the actors in this
Hello everclairew. Thank you for your comments. I'm 61 years old and everytime I hear this song I feel sad and it brings me tears too. This particular song (and few others from David Bowie) is beautiful and rather sad. I followed Mr. David Jones for decades. I felt a deep sorrow when he passed away, like he was from my own family. And I was surprised to feel that way a loss of a person I never met. He was an exceptionally talented artist who worked til his last days. I have a deep belief that God is so wonderful that would not allow the loss of our lessons learned, the knowledge we achieved and the love we share throughout our lifetime to just vanish with the death of our very limited bodies. So, I'm sure Mr. David is now in another dimension with his spirit endlessly evolving in knowledge and being prepared for new adventures somewhere in this amazing universe. In the end nothing is lost; just transfered to somewhere else. And I love him too.
@TheDoheneydrive This kiddo didn´t give an impression to be depressive as much as you do.
So beautiful and so painful. I was wondering , incredible , how a human being can touch our soul and lives with this kind of essence and magic ? True Bowie. Everyday I think about him and just love all about him, during my business, and my meetings here in Europe. Thank you, Mr. Jones, for keeping my love for life. Cheers !
It's really been a year since he left us 😭
Just about. In three days, it'll mark a year.
Today's his birthday.
Three words. Beautiful. Breathtaking. And Unearthly. Rest In Peace, Starman. ⚡
Canciones como esta valen más que carreras enteras. Pone los pelos de punta la letra y la forma que tiene de cantarla, la despedida de este mundo de alguien con quien hemos tenido la fortuna de coincidir en el tiempo.
It's nice to see this song finally get a TH-cam release. I share a birthday with Bowie and always look forward to being surprised by new music when it rolls around. Happy Birthday, David. Everyone says hi.
Now David Bowie is a Golden Star!⭐
A total artist...this song is the proof that with just few notes and a great urge for communication music can be the greatest wonder of the universe. Bowie knew this and here's what we got...so much heartfelt, so much immense...thank you David...R.I.P.
I'd never thought I'd hear him sing another new song again....
♥️
His birthday tomorrow, thank you VEVO for choosing me as one of the cast for this music video & too join David Bowie’s legacy!
🔥
@@rangernews 👏
I love you so much David. Thank you for your music. It has changed my life so much. Us Capricorns always seem to connect.
Well I knew going in that I would be crying by the end of this... Rest In Peace, David Bowie, rest in peace
Cette voix est inégalable et restera à jamais inégalée:la seule à transmettre autant d'émotions
Tout simplement unique : dire que d'après bon nombre de ses amis , david n'aimait pas tellement sa voix.......
Started listening to David just a few years ago and I can't help but say! He was the epitome of perfection and will always be
Why is it so hard for you guys to understand he made this before he died. Come on now
so weird isn't it? are people that dumb now? he's not even in the video (really).
Lee Christian It's sad
Bailey Crawly no he recorded it for his musical, 'Lazarus', and this song as well as two others were released on the soundtrack in November. With them now just coming out separately on a 4 track EP, also called No Plan.
***** don't assume it wasn't either. i remember this time last year tony visconti saying after bIackstar there was new material he was excited about and he was at rehearsals round that time so who knows? sure he would have been fine with the video in theory, not sure it's execution is quite his thing.
People are dumb.
Has it really been a year since David Bowie passed away?
Fuck.
StickMaster500 i know its so hart breaking to think that it has been a year
Barry B Benson we just feel the time within a year, thats because we think the time moves fast for us
I know, this shit still hurts. 365 days. Still feel like he wasn't ready. But Blackstar was his swan song.
StickMaster500 no
StickMaster500 yep
He didn't want to be buried, but he wanted to express himself for a last time, his agony, suffering, hope, all the things he was feeling putted in the art he used all his life, music
Gonna miss you, Bowie.
This is so sad. My grandfather died earlier today at the age of 81. Least I know he's with a legend.
Around one year and David is still giving us amazing stuff. I hope this continues.
😢 Our birthday was Sunday. When he died my heart was broken. He has colored my world so vividly and I'm forever grateful. RIP my idol and birthday buddy. Your legacy will live on.
Mine too, and will be for ever
been a year but the pain is still fresh
Nossa como você faz falta nesse mundo careta! Pena que você partiu tão cedo, tinha tanta coisa ainda pra fazer e nos lega essa saudade doida que não passa! Ainda bem que. nos deixou sua música, seu melhor legado e até o último minuto aí dá compôs pra gente. Te amamos cara, obrigado por tudo!
David Bowie created, lived, and gave so much! I will always love you David Bowie!
It's been two years without you, Bowie. I miss you ❤️
He's with Freddie and Kurt now
4 years now. He is still missed.
....david left 2 years ago.... but he will never leave our minds.... for the greatest singer ever.... life without you is not the same....
I miss you so much, I can never thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me. Rest easy David
Bowie still making us cry from the grave :') thank you, rest in peace.
I aways come here to vent, to let myself just cry with this song here. I let it out.. I cry over what is not quite yet.
He seems not to abandoned us... There is no grave, and still he releasing new songs... He is with us.
Such a beautiful song, such a beautiful man. Whatever dimension he's now in, it must be rejoicing because he's there, sharing his energy.
Yes
Aw Bowie, dear David. . once again you seem to be just around that otherdimensional corner, not far away at all . .
Yet I miss you. I cherish the feel of your voice, it goes so deep, as it always has.
Just absolutely Love you forever
Interesting how the TV shop is called "Newton Electrical". And the rocket at the end, making me thing that Thomas Jerome Newton got back to his home planet finally. Love that detail. Stop digging around with only 4 Bowie albums, especially ziggy stardust. Bowie was an artist where you MUST love all 26 albums.
