David Bowie // Lazarus [video] #RIP

Wow the final visual David Bowie released b4 he passed away from a long battle w/ Cancer ...listen to the lyrics Look up here, I'm in heaven", & the riddim and visual are so impressive.. tragicically his last. He lived a long live tho & enjoyed an illustrious career. "He made Blackstar for us — his parting gift,” Visconti said Monday. “I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn’t, however, prepared for it...Wow! The track “Lazarus” is a reference to a man resurrected by Jesus. In its video, Bowie's eyes are wrapped in bandages as he sings of the afterlife from an apparent death bed. This man stared death in the face x wrote a song about it...Respect #RIP Produced x Tony Visconti. Directed x Johan Renck. Words by Tony Visconti: In July you told me that you were ill. We never directly touched upon it again (apart from when you made morbid jokes). It, obviously, coloured our talks on work like a nebulous and devious undercurrent but I wasn't capable of taking it in, so I embraced it all as a note on mortality, a nod on aftermaths, a comment on the concept of legacy. What else could one do? Last night I dreamt that I bumped into you outside some dank building in deep Brooklyn. "I thought you were dead!?" I blurted out. "Who told you so?" you said with your infectious smile. "The world". The world told me so!" You smiled even wider. "Screw you world!" I bellowed, and we laughed; you bigger than me. Well, screw you world.
