THE REVIEW

“Here, there’s no music here/ This no place, but here I am, this is no plan"

Dark, hypnotic, unsettling. It gives chills, yet another testimony of Bowie, a reflection of his last dazzling studio work "Blackstar". Lyrics that take your breath away, that connect the listener with another dimension, lyrics that give you the chills. One feels transported into a new musical adventure, that rock giving way to trip-hop, perfect for narrating the end, the contact with death. The suspense created throughout the track melts into touching sax solos, jazz orchestrations. It is tough, especially for long-time fans, to hear the dramatic experience of their idol, who fell to earth to enchant us all, and who had to leave us.
He himself, during the creation of his last album, his "testament", had resigned himself to death. This put him in a position to not care, to ignore everything and speak about himself, narrate his story to the world, narrate the terrible experience that was exhausting him. He managed to reach another level, to elevate himself, to surpass his limits and create. From something negative, you can also obtain something good, and he did it, oh how he did it.
