This Song Rocks: Blackstar


Original video located here. Accessed 12th October 2016

Song title: Blackstar

Artist: David Bowie

Year: 2016

Why I like this song:

And finally my journey with David Bowie's discography comes to an end with Blackstar.

Much has been written about this one: His final album. The sounds of a man nearing the end of his life. The man of many personas speaking in his own voice. A sterling example of someone doing what they do until the very end.
Intimidating much?

Needless to say, the shadow of death can't be divorced from this album. And whilst it may be difficult album to get through it is still brave, challenging and worth the effort. 

And in the end, this journey I have taken has proven to be a worthy one. David Bowie may have been alien to me (har, har) for quite some time but now, I can safely say that I get it.

R.I.P. Starman
