>>61645164

>>61645164

>>61645164
Jesus my heart is aching so terribly now.
>>61646745
literally predicted what day he was going to day
I haven't listened to Black Star yet. I don't know if I'll be able to now.
HE KNEW.
HE FUCKING KNEW.
HE MADE BLACKSTAR TO SAY GOODBYE.
GUYS FUCKING HELL.
Jesus Christ.
>>61646987
i burst into full on bitch crying watching lazarus
BLACKSTAR WAS THE SWANSONG OF HIS DEATH
THAT IS WHERE MONDAY WENT
>mfw trying to watch the music video again
I can't
>Blackstar was meant to be enjoyed after his death
Stop what you're doing and go listen to it NOW.
>>61646987
I'm at the final track, and I think that it's safe to say that I cried like a little bitch for most of the album.
It's that awesome.
I liked Bowie but I was never a super fan or anything so why do I feel so rattled by this guys
>>61647615
It's because while he was a mediocre influence to you, to many others he meant a lot, so you're feeling empathy to them.
>>61647615
cuz he was a cultural icon for our entire lives
>>61647615
iktf
This is really a bad day for me. Fuck this all. It seems like I run out luck already.
I'LL BE FINE.
If his family confirms that this whole release schedule and concept of the album was planned, this is one of the most genius moves in music history
im going to be so wary whenever anyone i like makes a new album now
i'm not as sad as i would have expected. i just feel kind of empty. cant even concentrate on music right now. don't know what else to say other than rest in peace david bowie, your music has truly enriched my life over the years. guess i'll finally listen to black star tomorrow
>>61647876
>clearly hasn't listened to most of the lyrics on Blackstar
Dude, it was planned. That's enough evidence right there.
>>61647615
I've never been on this board before but this is kinda how I feel.
>>61647699
I think this is why. Listened to a bunch of his music and cried like a little bitch. Watched the OP's video and did some more. Going to have to get the album.
that Lazurus music video
>Bowie in hospital bed
>Death comes for him
>Takes a final dance, writes down his very last
Blackstar
This is too much for me, man.
>>61646745
>>61646914
>>61646944
>mfw I just realized
The goddamned madman
I'm sad but
>That sweet ass guitar at the last minute of I Can't Give Everything Away
It's absolutely delicious
I'm still wondering if he planned to die right after the album came out. I'm sure he knew he was dying while making the album but I wonder if it was his intention to release the album and then immediately die for whatever reason. It seems like a hell of a fitting death for him, at least timing-wise.
>>61646401
i lost to this
>>61649406
The fact he did all recording, filming and singing while knowing he was going to die for sure is just absolutely insane. Any other person would accept it and die quietly.
>They bury Major Tom in Blackstar
FUCKING NUMBERS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN.
p4k... this needs to be changeed
>>61645164
>thread based on a youtube comment
>>61649530
This album's release is just all the more haunting.
I don't know what to feel anymore.
He knew it was coming, and he made something amazing out of it.
This might be my 10 for the year.
AOTY, calling it.
>>61646190
came in this thread to post this
fuck man
>>61649530
It will be.
>>61649406
I don't know how much I trust CNN with their news, but somebody on there said that he had more plans for this album, like guest appearances. I don't know thought if those guest appearances were meant to be HIM though.
JUST LIKE THAT BLUEBIRD
OH I'LL BE FREE
AIN'T THAT JUST LIKE ME
>>61650105
Apparently there are quite a few songs that didn't make it onto the album including a longer version of Blackstar. Wonder if we'll ever get to hear them.
>>61650126
Probably my favorite song on the album and even harder hitting with this news.
>>61646914
remember when Lou Reed died on Sunday
How meme is that?
"look at me i'm dying but no one knows here's a meme album before I die such genisu lololol!"
>>61651066
Sure.
>>61650978
wait lou reed died?
fuck
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
>>61651443
Major Tom is my favorite Bowie song
>>61646634
Lol no way. that's too blatant. top 10 maybe
>>61645164
>told us he was dying in Blackstar
He had terminal cancer you dipshit of course he was dying
>>61645164
holy moly
>>61651547
>believing that Bowie could die
this is why he died faggot
>>61646914
now that fucks with my head
its all a ruse confirmed guys, right?
>>61651443
The astronaut in Blackstar is major Tom who died on an alien planet, after drifting in space because of that malfunction for who knows how long. His remains are worshipped, just like we do with the music he left us. It is implied that the astronaut ascends.
>>61645164
Bowie was dying of terminal cancer and has his Doctor assist him in suicide exactly on Sunday.
>Where the fuck did Monday go?
>I can't give everything away
>I'm a blackstar
>>61651584
Knock it off with ur memes
>>61651783
and I just know from personal experience that this happens and goes unreported but I did pull the frequency statistics out of my ass, kinda. If its given that my experience is a fair sampling then yeah its common.
>>61649466
Bowie was driven in a way few people can ever possibly realize.
If he wanted to go out with a bang, then dammit he would
>>61651066
>>61650126
>>61650126
Bluebird lyric messed me up /tv/ here and in the movie kpax one of the tests for the guy is to wait for the bluebird to set him free
>>61650056
