I love the fact that 99.999999% of the people that have reviewed David Bowie's "The Next Day" have not seen the obvious pattern throughout the entire album. The obvious pattern is this, David Bowie had a supernatural experience, based on the album, a dark one. I'm a long time Bowie fan, been listening to all of his albums for many years, and have never heard such a theme in any of his past albums, perhaps hints of it here and there in a few songs spread out throughout his career but never in such great abundance and as a main theme of an album, but it is a hidden theme, not easy to pick up on if you yourself have not had a similar experience.
Here is my analysis of the following verses in this song:
"Stars are never sleeping
Dead ones and the living"
Bowie had a sighting, a visit from a dead celebrity, which one who knows.
"And they know just what we do
That we toss and turn at night"
The visit likely took place at night while he was trying to sleep, this is the time they visit, they know exactly what we do 24/7 (dead people).
Agree, disagree, I don't care, this is probably why Bowie is not an atheist.
@mortal, I was going to agree. But you're not a follower, you see it for real and you just don't care, while I'm just a square in the herd. So I'll say it's shit instead.
