I absolutely adore that entire album. And, of course, most of what that man ever recorded... but that album is especially soulful and deeply... relatable? Idunno. It must be a deeply personal thing for everyone who loves it by this point.
By all means, post that one! You deserve the super valuable internet points for it - and even though I',m already listening to it [despite it not fitting my hatred and/or killing related songs I'm presently looking for], I'll upvote it!
Damn it, you derailed my hatred / killing phase of song searching... now I NEED to hear the rest of that album!
lol. I inadvertantly took a photo of him and his daughter in a park one day when I was taking random shots. He had walked within 7 feet of me and I didn't even know until I got home and looked through my pictures. I had adored him since I was 11 years old and missed my one chance to say hello. Can you even imagine?
Manhattan never felt the same after he died. I felt like it was instantly devoid of a special energy, never to have it back. I'm sure you get what I mean.

It hit me slowly when he died.
One day, like a month after, I went out in my garage and played all his albums and sang along and cried and drank and repeated all of this until my wife came out and made me stop. Her father had also died around then, and we were all set to fly to Aus. to visit him, which I was very much looking forward to, even though my plan was to sail there because what would impress an old Royal Navy sailor more than that? But alas; at least they both got to miss out the clown world we all live in now. I loved her dad. He was a strong man who I respected and who also seemed to respect me... but blah bla. Losing Bowie felt like losing a brother.
Although I expect Bowie would have written some great shit about that, alas. That leaves the job to us, I guess. But I just drink and hate and don't write songs anymore.

But this is good too. It's very Iggy Pop and The Stoogesesque.

I feel like that picture is a private momento, never to be shared. Maybe someday. If I ever do I'll let you know.

Do treasure it, and more than it, the memory.
