“Look up here, I’m in heaven.” ...Just wow. He’s literally speaking from beyond the grave.
Tony Visconti, who produced many of Bowie’s albums, put it this way: ““His death was no different from his life – a work of art.” This is an unbelievable expression of art, taking his impending death and creating something so vivid, like a painter conjuring up a landscape in his death throes.
And come on, it’s a decent tune too. The jazzy vibe going on in a lot of his more recent work, continues, building to a haunting crescendo after we hear him say for the final time, “Oh, I’ll be free... ain’t that just like me?” Seriously, what a way to go out.
