Update 1-11-16/200 Followers!/David Bowie Celebration
Hey everyone! I’m back at college now and was waiting for my first class (a criminal justice and society course-something I intend to draw from for accuracy in my writing, which is what I tend to do with most classes) when I realized I have just passed 200 followers. At first, I planned to post the new All New Robin I have ready but then was hit with a bit of news that actually hit me pretty hard: David Bowie, the Starman himself, passed away due to a not previously released battle with cancer less than a week after releasing his newest album (which, as it turns out, deals almost exclusively with death and acceptance of it, which makes the entire situation sting more).
Since I was a kid I’ve been listening to the singer’s amazing work from Ziggy Stardust to Earthling and beyond, with each new song of his I encounter instantly becoming my new favorite. As I listen to the YouTube playlist I am compiling of his work it’s made me think of just how many amazing songs he has performed: Space Oddity, Heroes, Starman (featured perfectly in The Martian), Cat People (featured perfectly in Inglorious Basterds), Modern Love, Let’s Dance, Fame, Under Pressure, Changes, Moonage Daydream (featured perfectly in Guardians of the Galaxy), Something in the Air (featured perfectly in American Psycho), and my personal favorite of them all: The Man Who Sold the World (I mean, I did name a volume of Red Hood after that song, and it’s in my top five favorite songs ever written/performed of all time without a doubt).
With thoughts of celebrating reaching 200 followers and the passing of one of my favorite artists of all time I thought I would combine the two into a celebration of Mr. Bowie while giving a sincere thank you to all who’ve stuck around through hiatuses upon hiatuses with my work. I may not be delivering hit after hit like the Starman once did, however I intend to work just as hard while immortalizing him through my writing and hopefully using his music in films I may work on in the future.
As always, thanks for reading, and below I will provide links to all of the songs I mentioned above so that you may too enjoy the work of a true music titan.
