Book excerpt: David Bowie: Blackstar (PVG) presents every song from the late, great David Bowie's number one album Blackstar, arranged for Piano, Voice and Guitar, with full lyrics, chord symbols and chord boxes. Blackstar was released just two days before Bowie tragically passed away, and was hailed by critics and audiences as one of his greatest, taking his music in new directions. A music video for the single Lazarus, released a day before the album, showed Bowie in a hospital bed, with a bandage covering his eyes before walking into a wardrobe at the end. Bowie passed away two days after Blackstar was released and much of the album relates to life and death. The lyrical themes have been interpreted as a "parting gift" for fans before his death. The songs have been almost universally acclaimed for their music and lyrics, as well as the ultimate artistic swansong for a man whose life was exceptionally creative and boundary-pushing. With this folio you can learn to play David Bowie's last album in all its glory.

Book Synopsis Blackstar Theory by : Leah Kardos

Download or read book Blackstar Theory written by Leah Kardos. This book was released on 2021-12-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blackstar Theory takes a close look at David Bowie's ambitious last works: his surprise 'comeback' project The Next Day (2013), the off-Broadway musical Lazarus (2015) and the album that preceded the artist's death in 2016 by two days, Blackstar. The book explores the swirl of themes that orbit and entangle these projects from a starting point in musical analysis and features new interviews with key collaborators from the period: producer Tony Visconti, graphic designer Jonathan Barnbrook, musical director Henry Hey, saxophonist Donny McCaslin and assistant sound engineer Erin Tonkon. These works tackle the biggest of ideas: identity, creativity, chaos, transience and immortality. They enact a process of individuation for the Bowie meta-persona and invite us to consider what happens when a star dies. In our universe, dying stars do not disappear - they transform into new stellar objects, remnants and gravitational forces. The radical potential of the Blackstar is demonstrated in the rock star supernova that creates a singularity resulting in cultural iconicity. It is how a man approaching his own death can create art that illuminates the immortal potential of all matter in the known universe.

Download or read book David Bowie 1947 - 2016 (PVG) written by Wise Publications. This book was released on 2016-02-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commemorative songbook features 20 of David Bowie’s greatest hits, spanning his entire career from 1969 to 2016. Each song is arranged for Piano, Vocal and Guitar, with full lyrics and Guitar chord boxes. David Bowie was an actor, a fashion icon, an artist, a mime and a writer, but above all, his creative output as a musician brought him the respect, admiration and adoration enjoyed by few other pop stars before or since. His consistent re-invention of his aesthetic, style and sound, as well as his mysterious alter egos enabled him to mould his music to a number of genres, eluding easy classification and producing a string of widely acclaimed albums and singles. This collection represents this musical icon, from his first single Space Oddity, to Lazarus, with a lengthy introductory tribute from renowned music journalist Chris Charlesworth. This is the perfect way to pay tribute to the legendary Starman. Songlist: - Absolute Beginners - Ashes To Ashes - Changes - Golden Years - Heroes - The Jean Genie - Lazarus - Let’s Dance - Life On Mars? - The Man Who Sold The World - Modern Love - Oh! You Pretty Things - Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide - Sound And Vision - Space Oddity - Starman - Suffragette City - Where Are We Now? - Wild Is The Wind - Ziggy Stardust
