David Bowie's voice is just soo soothing. A voice you could easily fall asleep to, you could never tire or get bored of. The softness yet the subtle tenor sends warmth and shivers along your spine (in very good ways). His personality is just so contagious! No wonder Iman fell in love with him. *sigh* Gone too soon. You will forever be our Goblin King!

This attic’s full of memories for me. We spent all our summers by the seaside and in winter at home, by the fire. Frost on the window and snow. Snowballs and making snowmen. One winter I made a really big snowman and he got this scarf for me. You see, he was a real snowman. That winter brought the heaviest snow I’d ever seen. The snow fell steadily all through the night. And when I woke up, the room was filled with light and silence, and I knew then it was to be a magical day.

The songs in Labyrinth are so mesmerizing. There was a period of time when I was about 4-5 yrs old when I would watch Labyrinth every single day, and I still remember looking forward to it and being excited to see it again every time, and being absolutely bewitched by Bowie's Goblin King. And I still am, more than 30 years later. David Bowie and Labyrinth taught me to seek out what is whimsical, fantastical, or magical in life, and to delight in it.

[@paulabranscheidt4261]

Gosh I remember watching this movie over and over again bc the goblin king just seemed SO COOL but not only him every character was so just wow 6 year old me just couldn't handle herself But me 10 years later isn't better I'm still addicted to this masterpiece!

So true, I was also around that age and he was so confusing to me at the time. He was the bad guy I thought but why was he so fascinating anyway? It took a while before puberty kicked in and I understood, haha. It was also a pretty scary movie , we watched parts from between our fingers round the corner of the kitchen.
