Thanks Debbie for showing me this track tonight off a Bowie album I never bothered to listen to. Should definitely be there on the Best Of box sets (because they have to be box sets with this man).

I was listening to David Bowie’s brand new album last night, thinking about how much I still love him. I can’t even begin to engage with how important Bowie and his work have been to me since I was a very young teenager. It’s washing over me in waves.
He felt like my guardian angel at times, transcending the vulgarity of the mundane, making alienation tangible and difference something to celebrate wildly… How strange to think of him as mortal.
Sayonara, Starman. What a gut-wrenchingly perfect exit.
Yesterday January 8 (a day too late), it was the birthday of Mr Bowie and also of Elvis (RIP).
