I remember, out of all the amazing things I read the day he passed, the one that hit straight to my heart and I've never forgotten since was a tweet, of all things, from Carrie Brownstein that is the perfect descriptor for the emotional mixture of the impact he left on music and social/cultural history, itself, through the world with the feeling of "How is that even possible?". She summed up the shock, sadness, and confusion that set in when hearing of his passing perfectly - "It feels like we lost something elemental, as if an entire color is gone."

[@thee4thdoctor]

David was good friends with Freddie Mercury, and Queen, and he learned a lot from Freddie's death. Freddie was hounded by the press as he was ill, and dying, so David cleverly concealed his own illness until the very end. David also saw that even Freddie was dying, that he still went into the studio, and created one last masterpiece with Queen - the 'Innuendo' album, which was Freddie's goodbye to his fans. David also gathered all of his strength, as Freddie did years earlier, and recorded his own final masterpiece, and farewell to his fans, to the world. We can't beat death, but we can - if we're clever, go out on our own terms, which is what David did. Well done Major Tom.

[@ivankaramasov]

This is nonsense. Bowie and Mercury were not close friends. Bowie was a friend of Roger Taylor.

Bowie and Mercury obviously knew one another from their time working together on the Under Pressure single but the question here was how well did they really know one another?

The two Bowie's: the bedridden one to symbolise his body decaying, the active one dancing and writing around the room to symbolise his mind's determination to finish the album, mind over matter. The girl under his bed trying to claw at him: symbolises the cancer trying to take hold of him, and, eventually, succeeding.

I met David when he died, through this song. On the same day, the TV news were announcing his death alongside the debut of his latest album and how related his final album was to this ending journey. After the tribute to him on the Portuguese news, they pass on this song. I was instantly hipnotized by the suffering, the deepness, the pain, the sound. Right after it, I mentally write the name of the song so I wouldn't forget it. I finished dinner, and went straight to KZbin and listened to the song one more and one more and one more time... And I was only 15 at the time. This was the only David Bowie song I knew for a while. Then, I figured I knew other ones, like Changes. One or 2 years after that, I decided to deep search on Bowie's musical and cultural legacy. A genius. Still today this is one of my favourite songs. Thank you Bowie

We're sitting watching the playback of the take we just did and one of us said - I don't remember who it was, to be honest, I think it was Jimmy: 'Hey David, wouldn't it be funny if you ended the video by going back into the closet.' And David started giggling like mad: 'Yeah, look, David Bowie has come back into the closet! Fuck yeah, we've got to do that. Let's do that right away.' Even at the very end of things, he would have a laugh and he would be audacious. He had an enormous loyalty to his fans." - Johan Renck (Director), from 'David Bowie: A Life' by Dylan Jones.

My dad is now at the same age as Bowie was. My dad has the exact same disease, and he is just as weak as we can see Bowie was. I can imagine how many takes shooting this video required due to the disease. Like David Bowie, my dad was a professional musician, all his life was about music and he played in many rock bands. Everyone in the town, who had something to do with music knew my dad. Like David Bowie, my dad wasn't interested in dressing conventionally. Before this disease got so bad as it is now, he expressed himself by wearing just anything he liked. He was a rebel, and people weren't sure if he was a boy or a girl. This song sounds like what it feels like when the air is slowly getting thinner and thinner and we know what's going to happen very soon. Thinking about it makes my brain whirl. This song sounds exactly like what it feels like. I don't know if it's a matter of days or weeks, but it's soon. I can't imagine my life after his death, but I have promised him to be strong.

It's like he could feel himself going and would try to sit up and grab the rail of the bed hospice brought in for him so he could be at home with his family instead of in the hospital. I believe there is a veil between here and the other side. The closer you get to death the thinner the veil becomes. As far as the meaning behind this and the other songs and videos, I'm not really sure what I think or how I feel about them quite yet. One of those things that will come to you in time it's right for you to understand it. Wherever he is I hope he's in peace.

[@MultiOMFG1]

This video was meant to be...I'm not sure if this is the right word I'm looking for...allegorical pertaining to his long career and the various stages and directions he took throughout. It seems to be a nod to the tendency among people and media to pigeonhole him into one specific creative eras, when he's clearly moved passed that and grown. As if he's saying that "it was all characters. I take the David Bowie you know out of the closet, I put him back in and I move on and then under it all, I'm the human David Bowie and I'm real. All those Bowie's you've seen have all been facets of me, are still here, and always will be." Throughout it all, being so ferociously creative and full of ideas to the point where he can't fit them all in. It's both sentimental and heartbreaking.

[@Momon143]

+Jimmy snail .....It probably would, yeah.

[@MWPRO1000]

+Jimmy snail except this is actually really good

[@DudeSilad]

+Jimmy snail Mate, you're a fucking Bon Jovi fan!!!!!!!!

[@bexxex]

+Jimmy snail so... do you like it or not?

[@rockdoublard]

His last video... somehow revealing his fatal sickness... and the way he disappears from view, all shaking as he climbs backwards inside that cupboard... such a subtle metaphora of his future demise (as a demise is nothing else than disappearing from everybody's view... forever !) ...We'll never forget you, David. And your music neither.Thank You.

[@SteveMullington]

+Dixxy It's a total masterpiece.

[@Mary56]

+Dixxy : So true. The theme is totally about his demise and his life together. Brilliant David, as always.

[@sejusmai7312]

+Steve Mullington totally agree with out question

[@HappyHauntsMaterialize]

+Dixxy It's also interesting that it features the same "character" (the blindfolded guy) as in his Blackstar video. It seems to me that it seems this picks off as when the other video ended... Like one last message in two parts.

lovely comment

Господи, я сильно удивлена какой был этот человек. Я его буду помнить. Мне 17, мои сверстники такое вряд-ли будут слушать, но я ни за что не променяю на другое. Буду переслушивать и переслушивать, размышлять и размышлять о его песнях. Спасибо большое, низкий поклон вам, Дэвид Боуи!🖐️🌠🎶

[@paulhayes92973]

this is how to leave the world like a legend i give props to david bowie

[@rikkifknrobin]

i woke up on january 11th, poured a bowl of cereal, and was getting ready for school when my mom told me. “david bowie died”. i was so distraught and upset that i broke down crying during break. my dad came to pick me up, and i just listened to david all day. david bowie helped define me as a musician and i’ll forever thank him for changing my life. 6 years later it’s still unbelievable. rest in peace ziggy

[@andrewlalnunpuia9788]

bruh !😅

[@tassosklinis3702]

A real human, with an ever evolving soul. He never stopped exploring life and his.art.Besudes being a star, he really carried the art of music light years forward to cover this crazy epoque we are living. Respect.

[@moljnahaze6036]

i felt like that when robin williams died

[@rikkifknrobin]

@@moljnahaze6036 robin, bowie, eddie, prince, petty, and taylor. all giants who did more in their lifetime than anyone could do in several. may they rest in peace

[@vickiweber4718]

I was getting ready for work. Took a quick look look on Facebook and the news of his death was the first thing I saw.

[@LeKarrizzma]

Bowie captured something that we won't truly understand until we hit the end..and that is so heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.

[@ladyreverie7027]

It's beautiful knowing that Bowie can be a solace and a role model when I do die though.

[@lung_licker]

perfectly described. i discovered david bowie like a week after he died and didn‘t know he died until late 2017. i didn‘t think too much of it because i was littler but thinking about it now and watching this video is dark in a way that hits soooo different. SOUL-CRUSHING

[@jordanwilliams.one.]

yeah, like life, wierd and paradox. but at the same time beautiful.

[@kimberlyjohnson1371]

Yes ... Quiet possibly bcz isn't that when all truth ..the all seeing 👁️ will open up in those with pure souls

[@Bonburey]

Wow... I've just discovered this song and it's so beautiful yet terrifying. Love it!

[@bleikrsound6127]

In 2016 i found out i had uterine cancer and watched this over and over. It was scary and uncertain and a whirlwind of tests and appointments and surgery and testing. By the end of the year i was given a 97% chance it wouldn't come back. In April 2017 I found out it had come back and was all through my body and was given 6 weeks to live and a 15% chance chemo would work at all. Here it is 2018 and I'm still here. 5 rounds of radiation (twice) and 16 rounds of chemo later I'm still here. Dont know why, but I am. I haven't listened to this since the shit REALLY hit the fan and understand this song more than ever. It's a sad anthem that no one should relate to. Update 9/2018 Still waiting on final chemo and then PET/CT. My platelets have been too low to receive it. Docs said after receiving as much chemo as I have, the bone marrow gets tired. Just a waiting game now. Thanks for the support. ❤

[@jjwest1272]

eight6sevenfive3oh9 I'm praying for you brother.

[@ivmath4569]

Hope you are ok and happy.... send some good news!!

[@JENtrification81]

Iv Math Still hanging in there. A couple more rounds of chemo and I get a break. Thinking about a vacation down south. Somewhere warm.

[@DryTeePiggles]

+BRICKCITY9MM Don't go spurting out random Christian lines when you haven't even read the bible. In Christianity god doesn't decide your fate and you're given freewill, only in Paganism the fate is chosen by the gods. That's the most religious thing I've said in my life but I had to correct you.

[@JENtrification81]

@@DryTeePiggles Not the place, man. Sorry. The most important thing in this life is to just love and trust and hope. Whatever you choose to worship or not. Let things out of your control be. Are you going to look back on your life and say "man, I really let that person in the comments section of KZbin have it. Score!" Peace.

Lyrics: 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 cell phone 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?

[@LonV-oh9pm]

Its interesting when you read the lyrics bottom up.

[@DarthCheese]

@@LonV-oh9pm I think that's a deliberate choice made by Bowie. There aren't many lyrical geniuses in the world anymore.

[@FishLord413]

Read the first column

[@whenyoutrybutstillfail505]

Anyone else feel like there were more lyrics than there actually were?? Wow

[@lessthanthreemetal]

It has been a fucking *rough* 8 years since this dropped.

[@calebyorks3213]

On the outside, I pretend things are okay, but deep down, nothing has been the same since David Bowie died
