u/Part-Time_Loverr

Was thinking of pairing this with some pants the exact color of his, which I don't know the location of right now. Well maybe not in this particular season (it gets HOT here and we're in Northern Italy 😭) but next fall I think I could rock it. What about you guys?

I'm making some studies of the glove but I can't make out most of what's written. If anyone had this pic in higher quality or decipher the texts that would be lovely.

It feels like being on a quiet boat sailing through a canal and watching the city on the other side at sunset. I love it

Listened to it for the first time today as I REALLY need to listen to more Bowie. It takes a few listens before I get to really love a song of his, so I've been very slow in my journey. Much more than I'd like to. So I've been sticking to BowieBible's song of the day for new recommendations.

Now, about this song; usually I don't like songs this long and tend to leave them for last... Glad I didn't with this one.

The first part feels like being in a haunted house at night (kinda like the creeping feeling I get when listening to the piano solo in Aladdin Sane). In the second dawn rises and the house becomes harmless. All the memories and ghosts it stores fall silent, waiting for the return of darkness. In the third, the first part is reprised (reminds be of the Sweet Thing suite, in a way? Although Candidate is very similar to the other two, while this time the "I'm a blackstar" part is very different); the sun sets and the house prepares to come to life once again.

Overall it was a intense experience. Haunting, like the album is intended to be, and self-aware with a little bit of hope. "Somebody took his place and bravely cried". I doubt someone will be able to take his place anytime soon... But that's what he said.

Okay this morning I became OBSESSED with this song. I kinda interpret it as an artificial intelligence becoming sentient, realising the evil and depraved model it was built upon and warning the population not to listen to it. "A plague seems quite feasible now, or maybe a war, or I may kill you all". People are so dependent on the Machine and it is so disgusted with that, that it considers erasing humanity to perhaps let a more intelligent and independent kind take over. "Please don't believe me"; "Don't make me stay, my logic says burn so send me away", it was raised with evil intentions and therefore thinks in an evil way, but it is now lucid enough to know he can at least get people to stop him from doing what he will inevitably do.

From the way it's told, the narrator is the Saviour Machine.

What do you guys think? Is it a stretch?

Okay a bit late because in my country it's 23:42 BUT ANYWAY. Isn't it funny how 3/4 of the band are Gemini? I just always liked how most of their birthdays are so close to each other, except for Noodle; I find it rather fitting that she was born on Halloween day though. I also like that The Shining had its first release on 2D's fifth birthday, so we have two things to celebrate today. I wonder at what age he saw it, if he ever did (though I'm pretty positive he did, who didn't?)

Well, cheers :)

Once I was one of the people on the left... But like, let people enjoy the music. No matter how they found it, if it helped their music taste it's a good thing. I'm actually grateful to Stranger Things and such for encouraging more teens to listen to older music! And I say this as an older music loving teen.
