Bowie, reflecting on his youth, in an interview withThe Daily Telegraph in 1996:

“We know what can happen… you can get a job, go to work, you can follow that line of perceived security. But I think there’s a different kind of security, which is trusting to and living by a code, of almost drifting where the wind takes you. And I spent well into my 20s doing that – throwing myself wholeheartedly into life at every avenue and seeing what happened.”

From an interview with the New York Daily News:

“What I have is a malevolent curiosity. That’s what drives my need to write and what probably leads me to look at things a little askew. I do tend to take a different perspective from most people.”

“I find that I am a person who can take on the guises on different people that I meet. I always found that I collect. I am a collector, and I always seem to collect personalities, ideas. I have a hotchpotch philosophy which is very minimal.”

Bowie recollecting about playing at the Berlin Wall in 1987, according to a book written by Bill DeMain.

“It was one of the most emotional performances I’ve ever done. I was in tears. They’d backed up the stage to the wall itself so that the wall was acting as our backdrop. We kind of heard that a few of the East Berliners might actually get the chance to hear the thing, but we didn’t realize in what numbers they would. And there were thousands on the other side that had come close to the wall. So it was like a double concert where the wall was the division. And we would hear them cheering and singing from the other side.”

Bowie interviewed on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row in 2013:

“It’s not the age itself. Age doesn’t bother me… It’s the lack of years left that weighs far heavier on me than the age that I am. I feel pretty good frankly. I do what I’ve always wanted to do, I’m a writer, yet it’s having to let go of it all.”

David Bowie – Lazarus

David Bowie – Blackstar

David Bowie‘s final album, released just days before his sudden death, perhaps provided clues no one initially recognized about his losing struggle with cancer.

Blackstar opens with the lyric, “Look up here, I’m in heaven.” The accompanying video for “Lazarus,” also released in the days before Bowie’s death yesterday at age 69, found him confined to a hospital bed, his eyes obscured by bandages.

Later, perhaps in reference to efforts to complete Blackstar, Bowie is seen frantically working at his desk. The song title itself recalls a Biblical character who rose from the dead, and Bowie clearly alludes to life’s passages: “This way or no way, you know, I’ll be free. Just like that bluebird, oh I’ll be free.”

Tony Visconti, Bowie’s longtime producer, has confirmed that he was aware of Bowie’s fate as they worked on the album. “He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift,” Visconti said in a Facebook post. “I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn’t, however, prepared for it.”

It’s hard not to hear allusions to that sad destiny everywhere on Blackstar. The title track, which features a video filled with the dark imagery of burial, includes the line “Something happened on the day he dies / Spirit rose a meter and stepped aside.” The end seems much closer on “Dollar Days,” however, as a longing Bowie ends the song by repeating, “I’m dying to. I’m trying to.”

Later, on the album-closing “I Can’t Give Everything Away,” Bowie seems to wrestle with his diagnosis: “I know something is very wrong / The pulse returns the prodigal sons / The blackout hearts, the flowered news, with skull designs upon my shoes.” Soon, he appears ready to put everything into a broader perspective: “Seeing more and feeling less, saying no but meaning yes – this is all I ever meant / That’s the message that I sent.”

Elsewhere, Blackstar is filled with verses and symbolism that couldn’t go further afield from his cancer battle. (“Girl Loves Me,” for instance, includes words from the language Anthony Burgess created for the teen marauders of A Clockwork Orange.) This, too, was in keeping with the way Bowie lived out his final days, according to Brian Eno.

“I received an email from him seven days ago,” Eno told NME. “It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: ‘Thank you for our good times, Brian. They will never rot.’ And it was signed ‘Dawn.’ I realize now he was saying goodbye.”
