3. “Lazarus” by David Bowie
February 18, 2020
This song was released on Dec. 15, 2015, and is on the album “Blackstar.” Released on Jan. 8, 2016, “Blackstar” was put out just two days before David Bowie’s tragic departure from this world. Many people think this song was Bowie’s way of saying goodbye before he passed on. I am one of those people.
I chose this particular song on this album, partially because of the conspiracy behind it and partially because it actually makes me really sad whenever I listen to it. Kind of like Johnny Cash’s “Hurt,” you can hear the dying man in this song and it pulls at your heartstrings.
