Bowie.


Once every lifetime a musician will come about and embed themselves into every fragment of society. They do not necessarily have to be musical geniuses; although Bowie was, but they cause a shift.

David Bowie created a landslide.

He was fearless, both with his music and with his attitude.
 He made it okay to be different, to look different and was one of the first in his generation to smudge the boundaries of gender- which legends like Michael Jackson and The Cure relied on.
He was a brutally honest, no-nonsense musician, in platform shoes, creating music that lifted people out of their bodies. Name me one person that hasn't dance round to Let's Dance in their underwear or burst out into Changes in the backseat of a car.
He was a transcendent artist and a man filled with enigmatic charm, matched with his raw passionate talent- Bowie soared above the rest.
He nurtured his audience and was a guiding hand and an encouraging smile to the kids in school and the suits in the office that saw themselves as something different or something more.

Ambitious but never obnoxious, Bowie was beyond human and now he is finally more than just a mortal being.

To an artist that has soundtracked huge parts of my life, that I somehow thought would out live me, Rest in Peace Goblin King x
