I Love Music

My David Bowie is not the one who starred in labyrinth or who made songs like heroes lets dance and all his other hits
My David Bowie is the one who taught me it was ok to be who i am the one who taught me to have a laugh the one who taught me to say what i like and when i like
My David Bowie will always be my number 1 Hero
Heres why
The first time i saw David Bowie was when he was singing Starman on totps and the line i had to phone someone so i picked on you and pointed his finger at the camera i could swear blind he was picking on me lol
That moment stuck in my mind for many years and after discovering Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory ,Aladdin Sane, The Man Who Sold The World, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station To Station, Low. Heroes, Lodger,
all those 70s albums are just brilliant nothing and no one will ever be better than David Bowies music
Now apart from scary monsters the 80s was"nt the best you will ever hear from David Bowie

November 2015 i hear through the grapevine david is releasing Blackstar to coincide with his 69th birthday.
And i was excited at the news blackstar single and video had been released as soon as i saw it i immediately saw he had put major tom to rest
He had always left him in his capsule floating around space i thought that is brilliant and has you dig deeper into the video of blackstar you will also see the thin white duke who also appears in his last song LAZARUS
Watching Lazarus for the first time i though to myself is david trying to tell us hes leaving us ?

For some unknown reason i had to listen to width of a circle my own personal favourite Bowie song which wasnt a hit
Mind you all of david bowie"s best songs werent hits
I had to watch lazarus again i knew something was wrong i wasnt well and went to bed
in the early hours of january11th 2016 i was in hospital and the sad news came on the tv David Bowie had died
I burst into tears
How can my hero die ? i was decoding his brand new album the nurse thought i was crying because of the injection i had just been given lol :)
His passing felt all my childhood had died too he was my only friend through teenage nights
I will always be His number 1 fan
I own everything hes ever brought out i owe him everything he owes me nothing
David Bowie the man who really fell to earth
The man who made me laugh
The man whos music was always there for me
The man with a good heart
The man who rocked my world
The man i will always love and miss
In closing id just like to say
Thank you Starman you will always be my hero
God ive got tears again now
Thanks for reading this story if you did
LAZARUS

Well we all need a hero in our lives other than friends family i think back to when i was at scholl 76-81 i was the only bowie fan there i always felt alone then i saved up enough money from my meagre wages and went to see him live in 1983 and all of a sudden theres another 120.000 bowie fans at the same concert i was no longer alone in this world
Never mind what other people think of you for liking pink its awesome that you have her in your life and never change for any one :)
