there's a lot of great artists, but Bowie made his life itself a work of art.

I was 16 in 1972. I thought at that time he’d always be Ziggy Stardust. I was surprised he went to different characters. I saw The Diamond Dogs Tour in LA. He played at The Universal Amphitheater. Somehow my buddy and I had seats in the 8th Row of stage left. We sat by Elton John , Diana Ross , and many other celebrities. It was a fun night as young guys. I’m so glad to have seen him perform. Mick Ronson really added to it all also. His guitar work just added something otherworldly and seem to be as unique at that time as Bowie himself.

after all, David Bowie wasn't playing those caracter he was revealing a part of himself

Some of us feel like we just don't belong in society as it is now. Our experiences have tended to isolate us so that we do not connect easily to other people. Especially if we've found that reaching out to others has been less than useful for us in the past. I think people need to understand that issues people have with mental health actually have little to do with health per se. Usually in my experience depression and other problems are a normal response to extraordinary circumstances. There is no chemical imbalance in the brain, people have simply been treated badly with no way of seeking justice. It's enough to drive anyone over the edge. I think those of us who don't sink into depression under such circumstances are simply more stubborn. =D I know I am these days.

+Nóra Bánfi Where the hell did you even get that anyone tried to say that feeling isolated and different makes one special? Also being just different or individual and feeling isolated or even shunned from the majority of people are not the same. If you fall in the latter category you will have a hard time feeling "special", because your individuality will not be perceived as a good thing by anyone. That's why those who fall way outside the norm have to work a dozen times harder than everyone else to get somewhere or find a way to turn what puts them at odds with everyone else their strength. Which is also what people like Bowie did/do. And this is likely what the video was talking about. What you are talking about are probably special snowflakes - well, they certainly aren't special, nor all too different as they more than often come from good, intact houses and are middle class, etc. In the end they are just regular people trying hard to stand out (see any tumblr special snowflake ever). That's in no way comparable to people who are actually socially secluded.

I first discovered Bowie when I was a kid. He was my "saviour" from crap like the Osmonds, David Cassidy, Leo Sayer, and my home town's Bay City Rollers. I loved his music and his outrageousness for decades to come. It is amazing how he constantly reinvented himself and every persona was yet another part of his multifaceted talent. Even the disturbing, Fascistic Thin White Duke had 'something'; perhaps a darker part of David's character. And who but Bowie could have played The Visitor, or Jared? The day I turned on the radio and heard that David Bowie had died, I cried openly. It felt like I had lost an old friend, and I was truly heartbroken.

To sum it all up, Bowie said it best... He said, that he’s not a “Singer”, he’s a “Performer”.

What Bowie did with Ziggy reminds me of Poppy now. How she acts in character in interviews and how she's basically killed the character off in her most recent record.

I was 12 when he passed away unfortunately, I had gotten to love his music when I was about 10 and to hear that hero passed away was terrible for me. I'm just glad his music lives on and his interviews live on.

Actually, Marc and Bowie were very good friends. In the late 60's they would go to somebody's house (cant remember who) and the 3 of them would jam together. They very much influenced each other heavily

4:50 Looking back, I guess that was also just a part of an act, and not actually the real deal - in order to stay in character. After all, he was the incredibly thorough Actor, as well as Ingenious Musician. And, on an unrelated note, seeing his relations with his Friends, his Wife Iman, his Children and numerous other people he met during his Life - He, apart from being the great Artist, was also a great Person..... David Bowie surely is missed.....

bowie was a huge fan of the occult, he later joined the golden dawn, that's why he kept changing his characters, 70% of his lyrics were about some mystical and spiritual stuff

Joined the Golden Dawn ? He was fascinated by them, Crowley and Western Mysticism. A few if his lyric reference this but I think you greatly exaggerate. Where is the evidence of his membership of any Mystical Order?

Most members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn already died of old age before David Bowie was born. Although many imitators claimed to be associated with the original, none of them really was. Although most if not all occult orders claim to represent genuine heritage, none of them does and blatantly lying about it is part of their game.

Yeah, and mostly that it was just him and that he had nothing else to really say. In Low, there is very little ambiguous lyrics of themes. It's just that and the beautiful music that surrounds him on that album. That's what makes it so special, it's unassuming and straight forward.

@LieLikesMusic

6 жыл бұрын

Dr. Aisaitl Never payed that much attention to the lyrics. And maybe that's the reason. It's there mostly for the sake of sounding good with music. I always prefered the first half of the album. But a friend of mine said i should listen more to the second part too. I guess it takes a bit more time to become familiar with the more avant garde, electronic stuff he did. What's your take on that?

@dr.aisaitl7439

6 жыл бұрын

You don't really have to focus on the lyrics, I mean each song that has them has an interesting backstory that's inspired by something real, but it's not really that important in comparison to Ziggy or Station. As for not preferring the second half, I can see why because it takes time to enjoy. Although Warszawa and Subterraneans always stood out to me as being really good . I didn't even like Lowe the first time I heard it, but it's a masterpiece through and through.

My grandmother once saw bowie at an airport when coming to my town and she said that he was so down to earth and aware of everything around him and talked as if he knew he was going to die
