David Bowie citáty
page 2

David Robert Jones, známy ako David Bowie bol anglický spevák, hudobník, herec, umelec a podnikateľ.

Bol známy ako chameleón populárnej hudby, najmä vďaka svojej schopnosti predvídať trendy a prispôsobovať sa im, nestratiac nič zo svojich ideí a kreativity. V rebríčku 500 najlepších albumov všetkých čias, ktorý v roku 2003 vydal časopis Rolling Stone má David Bowie 6 zo svojich vydaných albumov.

Dňa 10. januára 2016, dva dni po svojich 69. narodeninách, keď zároveň vydal svoj posledný album, zomrel po 18-mesačnom boji s rakovinou pankreasu, v kruhu svojej rodiny. Wikipedia

David Bowie: Citáty v angličtine

“Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass”

"Heathen (The Rays)"
Song lyrics, Heathen (2002)
Kontext: Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass
Ooo
Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?

“The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means.”

Livewire interview (2002)
Kontext: I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does. There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means.
What is very enlightening for me right now is that I sense that I'm arriving at a place of peace with my writing that I've never experienced before. I think I'm going to be writing some of the most worthwhile things that I've ever written in the coming years. I'm very confident and trusting in my abilities right now. But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.

“And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware of what they're going through.”

Changes
Song lyrics, Hunky Dory (1971)
Kontext: I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence.
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same.
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware of what they're going through.

“I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.”

Quoted in the chapter on Bowie http://books.google.com/books?id=iHXT8olyMAsC&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=instant+star in Valentines & Vitriol (1978) by Rex Reed
Varianta: I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.

“Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I'm referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly.”

Livewire interview (2002)
Kontext: Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I'm referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods' presence in his life. He is the 21st century man. However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.

“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”

"Lazarus" ·  Video at YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8
Song lyrics, Blackstar (2016)
Kontext: 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
