So the legend that is Bowie is no more, cancer having claimed the icon’s life at the age of 69. While his death may have come as a shock to many perhaps he knew more than he let on, particularly when you look at his last music video.
Officially released just four days ago the video for ‘Lazarus’ doesn’t need to be explained for context, it’s all pretty obvious. We’ll just drop the lyrics here and let your imagination do the rest:
Look up here, I’m in heaven
I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Everybody knows me now
Look up here, man, I’m in danger
I’ve got nothing left to lose
I’m so high it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below
Ain’t that just like me
By the time I got to New York
I was living like a king
Then I used up all my money
I was looking for your ass
This way or no way
You know, I’ll be free
Just like that bluebird
Now ain’t that just like me
Oh I’ll be free
Just like that bluebird
Oh I’ll be free
Ain’t that just like me
