You're still sad about him, aren't you, /mu/?
yes
yeh
>>61807656
oh my
probably now more than ever
it's a god awful small affair
I'm dead inside so nah
Did find my older sister crying and singing starman yesterday tho, poor lass was raised on bowie.
>>61807633
No
>>61807656
Sickening
>>61807730
fuck off Aaron nobody cares about you anymore
>>61807633
yes but its getting better.
>>61807633
Yeah. Teared up today. Cried a lot on monday.
Very much so.
>>61807736
I care about myself and I don't care about your opinion on me
>tripfags
>tfw I never listened to him so I can't be sad with everyone else
>>61807865
then listen to him, dummy
>>61807730
fuck you you ugly ass small mouth faggot bitch
>>61807865
You can always pay respect, that shouldn't offend the hardcore fans
And you should listen to his music.
Yes but I'm getting a little bit better now
Getting better. Though certain songs make me tear up pretty bad. Especially Rock 'n' Roll Suicide.
>can't listen to the 1979 version of space oddity without tearing up
Yeah, but just every once in a while. It's weird, a celebrity death has never affected me before.
>>61807656
cringeworthy
My mother said, to get things done, you better not mess with Major Tom.
>>61807964
It was sad when Layne died. But this week was devastating

>>61807964
Nothing wrong with it, he was a major figure after all.
>>61808079
Made me cry the night I heard the news. My favorite version of Space Oddity though.
Glad you had this thread up. It's been almost a week and I'm almost in tears. Listening to Bowie on Vinyl right now and I almost can't believe how sad I am about it all. I was certain he was going to rise again from the grave... but then he didn't. The man was so good. The songs were top tier and I never realized how much of an influence he had on me until he passed. I know this doesn't matter in the long run, but I miss him already. David Bowie was an artist and David Bowie is dead.
Long Live David Bowie.
>>61807768
>I don't care about your opinion on me
Why even have a trip then? I'm not truing to insult you, can you please explain the appeal of having a trip?
>>61808145
The night he died I thought of an idea to add clips of moments from his career into that music video. Turned out alright actually
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMThz7eQ6K0
What is that crazy outfit he's wearing?
>Friend wants to watch that walter mitty remake movie
>Space oddity comes up
>mfw
>>61808343
>same thing happened to me
>was watching The Martian and Starman comes up
say what you want about that movie, that scene was great
>>61807954
>>61808079
Fantastic version
I've still been doing nothing but listening to his stuff. Going through Youtube finding live versions of his tracks, he really kicked ass in the 2000's. He only got better with age.
I'm still reading the news about him. It's sad as hell seeing all this love for him now that he's gone, So many kind things have been said that I wish he was around to hear.
I'm making it my goal to get through all of David Bowie's 75 favorite books. If anyone wants to see them they're here: https://www.brainpickings.org/2013/10/03/david-bowie-reading-list/

>>61808537
>>61808561
The part where everyone's clapping with him is my favourite.
>Don't believe for just one second I'm forgetting you
the full impact of that line hit me today
>>61807938
oh god I haven't listened to that song since his death
>>61808196
Same. I've been picking and choosing which Bowie I listen to so I don't break down in tears again. "Black Tie White Noise" was probably the best choice - he was so happy when he made it and it shows.
>>61808217
>>61808560
fuck it, I'll post it anyway, let me know what you think

that was wonderful, anon
>>61808752
>the part in Cygnet Commitee when he's shouting "I WANT TO LIVE"
oh god man
>>61808935
I liked it. Might want to put some clips on the part when he switches sets, but otherwise I think people will like it.
>>61809019
And then it just fades out into a message for everyone - Live. fucking incredible song
Honestly, I listened to Bowie a bit when I was 16-20 but grew out of him. He had a few catchy hits but ultimately he was more style than substance, and his gimmick was that he sang blatantly obvious metaphors for drugs that were probably edgy at the time but are tacky today. But it's always sad that someone died I guess.
>>61809005
Thank you very much.
>>61809030
I've been trying to add some with audio into that part but I wasn't sure which one would work best so I just left it. But yeah, I'll try again and see what I can do. Thank you anyway
>>61807633
The best of him lives on friends. He's alive in my speakers forever
;_;
>>61807633
Guys, listen to how GOAT his singing is in this. Holy Moley.
https://youtu.be/A3ol17NnBHk
i was never really that sad considering people die everyday
>>61807633
Never listened to his music.
Never will
>>61808408
The movie was really good regardless. One not Matt Damon'w best in years.
I was feeling better
until I watched The Martian and they played Starman
>>61807656

jesus
literally who
Yes. :'3 </3
i was fine until i took a trip to my local record store and saw all his singles laid out. some guys and i were having a mostly humorous conversation but you could feel our collective grief in every pause.
>>61809039
Very underrated
>>61810171
>you could feel our collective grief in every pause
Little bit.
>>61809309
It's okay anon I feel the same way.
>>61808072
i wasnt sad when layne died because hed been a walking corpse for years
i am sad about bowie and probably always will be a little bit. cant really process it desu
>>61809411
>tfw just finished watching that because of this thread
>my soul
I was told by a skype friend... I thought he was just trolling me.
Then my parents told me when I got out of bed, I swore in disbelief and left for work.
Cried so much my face was wet when I knew they were not lying.
I still don't believe it desu
>>61807633
yes, mostly because of the way it went down - without any advance notice (to the public) and just days after the release of a sort-of concept album about death and dying. would have felt said about almost any high-profile musician under those circumstances... to bowie's credit, though, no other musician has ever cared so much about his art to make such a profound final statement and probably no one ever will. some day in the near future i predict a bowie bio-pic will be made specifically focussing on the last year of his life and the making of this album
>>61810714
Tilda Swinton as David Bowie.
Make it happen.
>>61810732
YES
>>61807633
I thought I cared about him and then my mom died on the 13th and got over him dying reaaal quick
>>61807633
Yeah, but I'm getting over it, and moving on, day by day. If I'm sad about anything, it's that I'll never get to see a David Bowie concert. It was one of the things to do on my bucket list. Oh, well. I'd better see The Rolling Stones before Keith dies.
>>61810792
>If I'm sad about anything, it's that I'll never get to see a David Bowie concert.
Fucking same, anon. I've heard the Heathen-era tours were fantastic, too. It's a bitter pill.
>>61810751
sorry, anon
lost my parents last year
hang in there
>>61810792
saw bowie in 2002.
saw the stones at the beacon when they were filming "shine a light"
stones were shockingly great live actually. keith is legit.
saw fucking motorhead too.
> but tfw I'll never get to see The Clash
>>61810751
Damn, dude. My dearest condolences.
2016 has been a rough year so far, but I have hope.
>>61810751
fucking hell, I'm sorry to hear that
>>61810886
I wouldn't want to see The Clash after 1979 anyway. Just my personal opinion, though.
>>61810886
i never got to see bowie but i saw nirvana and they were a pile of shit. probably just caught them on an off night.
>>61810886
>motorhead
>stones
>bowie
Fucking hell man. You lived the dream.
I saw AC/DC recently. Fucking Angus Young is no joke, I imagine keith being the exact same.
>you will never get to see him live
>>61810988

Absolute Beginners was the song that broke me on Monday and I've been afraid to listen to it since.
>>61811026

>>61808537
All I'll say about the books is don't force it. I'm doing it too and just because he liked them doesn't mean you should. Bowie would want you forging your own path, not meticulously following his.
It pleases me so much that his favourite magazines are mine too. Viz and Private Eye.
What did he mean by this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nnw0qhqvYI
David Bowie would want me to be creative so I started the script I've been putting off for months. Going quite well so far.
It's been a good way of keeping me occupied in my free time.
It's a three part miniseries.
>>61808537
>>61808935
>>61811252
I love that this shows how much Bowie inspired us to pursue our interests
>>61811392
Exactly. I've never been Bowie Fan #1 but even before I was interested in music as a kid Heroes and Changes were my favourite songs from the age of about five or six. No musician has had a greater presence in my life for so long. I was a nerdy kid that liked strange things and I could turn to Bowie to be reminded that that was perfectly fine.
>>61807633
no, fuck that overrated hack
i wish /mu/ cared this much when Lou Reed died
>No musician has had a greater presence in my life for so long.
Same here, if it wasn't for all those memories of listening to his music and watching his movies I would've never done that tribute video. To me, it's a personal reminder of all the good times I had with his music back then
>>61811690
replying to this >>61811467
>>61811690
I'll watch the video later. I've seen disappointingly few of his films but Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence has always been a favourite of mine.
I was really hoping for a cameo in the new Twin Peaks. A damn shame, but I'm grateful for what we had.
Father got into music because of bowie, can't even imagine how the old fart must be feeling right now.
>>61807633
Ziggy Stardust was the first song I learned when I started learning guitar years ago. I started performing and even though I would get unto other styles of music, I'd always go back to his. I followed his interviews and Facebook etc, where he would often promote obscure artists and I would follow up with those because if Bowie said they had a certain quality, you knew they were awesome. Through his influence my musical roledex grew and I started picking up different instruments. I've never been affected by a celebrity death before. I always dreamed of seeing him live. It might seem silly to others, after all its not like we could call him up for coffee or cry on his shoulder, but the nature of his celebrity meant that his true fans knew him personally, and he will be missed.
>>61808537
It looks like someone collaged someone elses right eye in but did it upside down
Yeah gonna miss him, but not only for his music.
>tfw have same eye condition as him (anisocoria)
>when people tell me it's weird I tell them Bowie has it too
>oh then it's kinda cool then
now that he's dead my generation will forget him quickly and I won't be able to use this. fuck
>>61809411
Bowie was killed by the govmint so more people watch that movie.
>>61807656
>gay
nope.
>in a dress
not in 68.
Also David Bowie was stupidly good looking. Most of us aren't.
Why is this tumblr tier post written in print?
>>61812528
Be confident with it. I have white eyelashes on one eye. People point it out and I just say "yeah I know" and don't let it phase me.
Bowie didn't make it cool, he just didn't let it define him. Nor should you. You're still amazing, no matter what. The mirror is your enemy. When you leave the house in the morning your hir could be a mess, you could have missed a spot when you shaved last night but that doesn't change who you are.
Confidence with what you've got makes you a better person than self-deprecation because of what you haven't got.
>>61812528
take a pic of them plz
I've been listening to a lot of bowie, started about a month before he died and I'm curious. Where did he learn to write music? Life On Mars has some really strange chords thrown into it that give it a jazz vibe.
Where can I learn to do this?
>>61812726
For Life On Mars, probably playing Even A Fool Learns To Love over and over on piano I'm guessing
I... Have never actually listened to him.. Who the hell was he? Any song recommendations?
>>61812788
How old are you for never having heard Bowie ?

Why does /mu/ jump on the bandwagon every time some pop douche dies? who cares? everyone dies. He couldn't even write art music, whats the point of paying attention to him? same goes for all these popular musicians.
/mu/ probably just doesn't have much to talk about. Jump on the latest boohoo muh old rocker died
>>61812855
His music was huge for some of us, and at least an early access point for almost all of us.
With his death, people are uncovering his whole discography, and as it turns out, most of us are resonating with it because his work was absolutely incredible.
It's cool that you don't necessarily like him, but for right now, people are enjoying talking about an artist that, in general, is being rediscovered. If it bothers you, just hide the threads.
Yeah.... :/

never realised i can be so sad for a person i never met
My first reaction was surprise.
My second one was admiration, considering how great his career had been and how he was able to get on top again at the very end. This man really knew how to do it and I have a lot of respect for him. Started strong, kept changing, trying new things and often succeeding, ended with a bang.
I associated death with closure more than sadness.
It's too bad Jacob Dylan forever ruined the song Heroes for me.
>>61810751
