The end of the Major Tom trilogy.
4:00 and beyond is beautiful.
damn you could have said that was a trailer for fallout 4 or mad max 5 and i wouldn't disagree
wat.

What in the blue fuck did you even just say.
This was weird but strangely appealing.

David Bowie wasn't in Tron Legacy
Just when I think Bowie can't outweird himself.
Absolutely genius holy shit
Looking forward to the full album.
i fucking love the bowe
This whole thing is genuinely really good. I sense some Lovecraftian themes and shit with the video. I like it a lot.
But wasn't the Major Tom trilogy already concluded?
I wonder what the casting call was like for this video. liked it a lot
Really looks like Bowie has gone full "Fuck it, I'm just gonna make some weird shit and no one can stop me" mode. This has me super intrigued for the album.
Interesting to say the least
After listening to it a time or two it's pretty great
It really annoys me with how they annunciate "I'm a black star" sometimes, almost explicitly saying "hahm a black star."
I was going to comment how weird the video is, but damn I honestly think the song itself is stranger. This is the final part to the Major Tom trilogy? Goddamn Bowie.
Makes me wish Bowie would make a film in the vein of [I]Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem[/I].

Well...
Quadrilogy?
I honestly don't really get the obsession some people have with bowie. i've heard a couple songs I like here and there, but the vast majority of the stuff i've heard from him is weird as fuck on this level. i'm a pink floyd fan, so i can appreciate weird and people constantly tell me that i should listen to bowie.
i just don't get it, the music is jarring to listen to. the drum is off beat for the first four minutes of the song. its obviously intentional and probably to disorient the listener, but its just unpleasant to listen to really.
then the black star lines kick in right when you can start to get into the groove and sound just flat out weird
i can picture getting really stoned and digging this song, but sober its just ehhh for me.

Saying you are used to weird songs because you listen to Pink Floyd is like saying you're used to bizarre sex stuff because you have a foot fetish. Sure it's not quite standard but it isn't that far out there.
This episode of Doctor Who was pretty good. The story was easier to follow than normal.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. If you like Pink Floyd, take a listen to Station to Station:

Personally one of my favorite tracks is Stay from the same album:

Honestly one of the things I really like about Bowie is his ability to get you in a groove, then throw you - sometimes by little, sometimes by a lot, sometimes you're kinda in both camps.

pink floyd isn't even remotely 'weird' lol, up your meme grips game
but on a serious note, there are real rhythms in the song and there are real specific reasons why it's somewhat disorienting. as someone who likes pink floyd, you should at least appreciate bowie using music as a tool to tell a story, which is like the vast majority of all progressive music.
also, i hardly find it disorienting. but perhaps that's because i listen to industrial a lot. music is all about personal tastes after all.
I love it. Also, one of my fav drummers is playing on this. Check out Mark Guilliana.
Fucking love it.
But
It sounds like [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANaabsQo-uA"]male gazelle twin[/URL]. This sound isn't new or strange to me at all.
That being said, a collab between DB and GT would be just about the best
If you want more standard rock, just listen to some of Bowie's earlier stuff, like "Heroes".

Holy fuck this is some weird shit
As someone who knows fuck all about bowie this video was strange as fuck
