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.

+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!

WELL STATED!

He didn't die, he just returned to the stars is all.

@@ClawsoftheLion He'd like to come and see us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds.

@@alternativemusefan ja u 7

@Pete K Sweet isn't it

somehow i managed to be born the same day as him, but 50 years later

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.

@@thepuppetstv well put.

I was so down but read that and laughed out loud, So frigging true. Go with much love earthlings.

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

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. ★ ♾️

@@Stephuzz well hopefully we can hear them soon...I would love to hear them.

@@GranTruismo4head i think skullfvck. was actually referring to the order of songs On the Blackstar Album NOT his last recorded song ;) Just sayin ;).............................................................

I can't believe that you would devalue this page with your vulgar, inappropriate username. You suck man. Big time.

Absolutely agree.

+Leonel Urbina But they are so beautiful too.

Dunno if I'd call Sue heartbreaking.

@@someoneelse101 Sue is haunting, just like the rest of the album.

@@2863wonderland I can't consider she was a whore heartbreaking. Just makes me laugh. Girl loves me isn't that sad either

Go Girl

A sad coincidence

Oh my.....

how many coincidences in their destiny

Then, Let's Dance:

Beautiful words.

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.

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

+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

Fighterx14 Well done for beating cancer. I know some people who have also faced it and survived

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.

Mugsy Catizone so true 💔😢but I hope he will meet me 😹xx

wow, that is a great way to look at it!

He didnt believe in heaven

@@BrillCubes right till the end? who knows? unless you closely knew him personally, you will never know.

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

Love your sentiment, beautiful!

Love your sentiment, beautiful!

You are so correct. Still, I can't digest the fact that our Ziggy isn't there with us anymore.

Always..!!

He suffered 6 Heart attacks, Tony Visconti said he came in studio with more energy then any of them, programming drum tracks, Love Bowie

No Likey Gs Omnipresence INDEED!!

Thankyou for this comment...such a nice sentiment

That's quite right, dear friend

You articulated my thoughts perfectly and better than me

That's beautiful man

That's poetic

He went to the light, where everyone he loved was waiting for him!

He went to mars

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?

It certainly makes me cry, it's so beautiful and sad. He did give us everything, and more. The song is indeed a beautiful goodbye.

quique fp I feel the same 18 months later. After reading the lyrics I heard the song on KZfaq and broke down

even after two years and a half.

Musicians are welcomed into everybody's home, everyday.

+crisscolicab Agreed. I was so happy to see this in my feed this morning...

i was ill when i saw the breaking news of his dead on my phone. i cried a full week. my youth is gone....

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 …

TedJSC Hard to listen to without breaking into floods of tears though. I'm tearing up just talking about it

Agree.

+Steven Hawley - It's giving me major spine and head tingles now.

this song was released 2 days before his death

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

+Official Warrior What's your problem?

+Official Warrior How do you know? Have you been there recently on vacation and bumped into him?

+Official Warrior If hell existed, maybe. But at least no one believes those Bronze Age fairy tales.

+Official Warrior If you do believe in God, then you would know that you have 0% power on whether they go to heaven or not.

+Official Warrior at least you won't need to pack your clothes and belongings on your trip to hell since you believe it exists lol

Lovely way to think of it

He is my first memory. He is my first crush. He is my first everything. Thank you Bowie.

David Bowie is gone, but he'll never leave us. Everything he gave us remains here and in heaven. Or space. Or wherever he is

+NintendoCraft13 he's up there floating in his tin can

+So Jo That number will grow in the next few hours. :-)

+MirellaDerks Yeah. 140,000 so far :')

Millions now.

And now, his new career in a new town

Damn your right fuck that hurts

Perhaps also a reference to the veil...

+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.

Lol

haha

Not Funny..

+hackman7320 it's hilarious

Idk if this is a troll, but I don't think they meant by following him by suicide, but it's still messed up that they did that shit

+ShadyPinesMa79 David says "Hi" back to everyone.

nice reference there

Shall all be seeing you soon, ain't that the Cats Whiskas!

I love your comment

Me too :(

Just how I feel. :')

+bionicbigfoot And you're cool for paying attention to that everything -> very thin; plus for sharing it with us :)

Kinda duke

I'm so sorry for your loss.

😋

u made me hungry

Go boldly forward!

Godspeed gentlemen

We can’t give it a name . The ultimate answer ❤

:')

:')

:')

The fade out my me sad. That is all.

;(
