    About David Bowie:
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

    I love the idea that so many people must have wrecked their brains out trying to understand the deep meaning behind those lyrics!

      A good song such as David and company were often to write, I believe is open to interpretation even when it may seem like nonsense lyrics. As an amateur song writer, I have written nonsense filler lyrics and initially felt dismissive of them and wanted to change them but couldn't figure anything better, and with time, began to realize that they were more than just a nonsense lyric. That they added something to the song. One can argue that it is the product of something subconscious which can often produce what seem like nonsensical dreams. And whether it be subconscious in the creator or the consumer, it matter not. One man's junk is another man's treasure.

      @@daemonnice Good points, and also David absolutely believed in a kind of “death of the author” approach to art, in general. I’ve heard him say so, though not explicitly in those exact terms, in various interviews. Also, given then kind of spiritual and philosophical ideas he was influenced by, or at least took interest in, this absolutely fits that open approach to art and textual interpretation.

    I’ve had huge respect for Reeves since the Tin Machine days, and so when Bowie dropped the band and brought him into the fold, I was really excited to see what he’d add to the mix (if you pardon the pun).
    It was only the other day after all these years that I noticed Plati had co-writer credits on “EART HL I NG” - and the fact that Reeves explains why that was in this video and “lobbied” (knowing David, I doubt he had to lobby hard, David was a shrewd man sure, but he was also fair and incredibly generous) for that has increased my respect and admiration for this man ten-fold.
    I saw Bowie 3 times in my life, twice with Reeves, and he’s utterly mesmerising live - but somehow fitted so perfectly with David that he never stole his shine or overstepped. Wonderful.

    IN MEMORY OF THE SLAIN HERO AND HIS RESURRECTION
    You roared like a Lion in Manhattan, you spent all your money and lived like a king...you fought the battles of the Lord and came to destitution. You cried out in the gates of the city like a leper Messiah, and none gave heed to your call except the outcasts and dregs of society. You gathered them together as a shepherd gathers his sheep...they came to life at your words, your art and your reckless abandon of all convention. You piped a wondrous tune and the light of light entered into them.
    You fell into the shadow of death and " looked for his ass". You flew from Station to Station like a demon in your mad quest for redemption--- you redeemed others, yet you didn't redeem yourself. How have the mighty fallen! Your days passed like a shadow,yet you fought the evil eye of Sauron...you fought the wild beasts in the forests of Mordor....the hordes of Gog and Magog descended upon you. They surrounded you like maddened bees, yet you cut them off in the name of the Lord. But Gog had the upper hand and slew you...he desecrated your body, he infested your temple with the wasting disease! Yet you held on to the last and made an everlasting memory of your strife, the cries of your art told the tale of your war, it told the gospel of your death, it published the news of your ascension...here you are, dwelling in heaven, no scars to be seen...here you are, one magical movement from Keter to Malkuth! Here you are, you fly like an angel from Station to Station! Fly on you crazy diamonds, and arise from the dust...the time of your warfare is past...
    He walks among us like a god among men...and who can tell his tale? He was not regarded by the high and mighty, he was cast off as a freak of nature....yet he gathered the outcasts of Israel...his memory endures forever!
    He will be given the spoils of war, he will be raised and exalted more than he ever was during the days of his mortality...he is the hope of all of those who have fallen in battle! Shine on, shine on you mad Man, you Hero, you Lazarus, you Blackstar!
