David Bowie's album Blackstar was released two days before his death, and was intended as a "parting gift" to the world according to his producer Tony Visconti. Heres Bowies youtube page, https://www.youtube.com/user/DavidBowieVEVO/videos

Heres the "Lazarus" lyrics & youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8
Some think its an epitaph. The lyrics are very simple but I figure he is an actor singing this stuff amazingly well & dramatic & heartfelt...

Look up here, I’m in heaven
I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I’m in danger
I’ve got nothing left to lose
I’m so high it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below

Ain’t that just like me

By the time I got to New York
I was living like a king
Then I used up all my money
I was looking for your ***

This way or no way
You know, I’ll be free
Just like that bluebird
Now ain’t that just like me

Oh I’ll be free
Just like that bluebird
Oh I’ll be free
Ain’t that just like me

WOW is all I think... I watch these two videos often, Lazarus & heres "Blackstar" video, 10 minutes long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kszLwBaC4Sw Both these videos would be worth a discussion here or on another board.
