David Bowie - Lazarus

This is my lyric video for David Bowie’s single “Lazarus”, taken from his final masterpiece “Blackstar”.

For the background I used a mashup made by editing and reworking some of his most popular music videos, to retrace the artist’s career and turn the lyric video into a proper tribute to the Thin White Duke.

Lyrics

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 ass

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
