As far as I know this is David Bowie's last video and if you can say nothing else about the man you must admit he went out with style.
Grand, spooky style.

Yep... can play it now too. It must have been getting slammed with too many viewers at the time.
youtube is totally messed up tonight. Not just the Bowie vids.
Quentin Tarantino was a rock star after all! Lol!
He personified “carrying it off.” He just could. Theatrics plus a smoky voice he could control like a drone.
Going through Bowie videos on YouTube tonight, I remember this one, that I really liked when it came out, I think this Bowie song was criminally underrated.

Notice the deliberately harsh light was that meant to accentuate Bowie’s age & frailty; Bowie’s dance moves were deliberately kind of a pathetic echo of his more robust dancing in the past (and he could actually still dance, if you look at the video for the title song of the Blackstar album); and Bowie with his old-fashioned fountain pen was frantically writing his last messages to family & friends before his demise in that dark closet - which is much like the final emails it is emerging that Bowie sent out in recent weeks, to Brian Eno & others.
Just repeating what everyone already said; it’s all about death & dying.
I’m personally opposed to death because living is nice, but that’s just me.
Thanks for finding that. :)
That was about Bowie’s brother (Terry?), who if I remember right came to a sad demise; I think it was suicide.
To be honest I think I may have seen it here on FR first, like everything else worth seeing in the known universe. ;)

A bit dark for me but still amazed at his vocals.
BFL? What’s that?
Bump for later.

You’ll meet him there, but on a lower rung.
