The sense I get from the video is that he is remembering places from his life and making the point that in the end we are ourselves become memories, existing to (for) others among our mementos. Pretty bitter sweet and somber stuff. But dang, how freaking creative, huh?
The BowieBible says he released this song on his 66th birthday in 2013. The lyrics recall his time living in Berlin from 1976 to 1978. That's when he released the albums Low and "Heroes", as well as Iggy Pop’s The Idiot and Lust For Life. The various place names in the video are places in Berlin. Potsdamer Platz, for example, "marks the point where the old road from Potsdam passed through the city wall of Berlin at the Potsdam Gate. ... It was totally destroyed during World War II and then left desolate during the Cold War era when the Berlin Wall bisected its former location. ... The history of Potsdamer Platz can be traced to 29 October 1685." (Wikipedia)
It’s from the Next Day album, released in 2014, his first album in 10 years after his heart problems, I think this song is on reflection during his time in Berlin , also there is a twist with his t shirt at the end , songs of Norway
KaDeWe are Kaufhaus Des Westens. A department store. Over 60.000 square meters. It has between 40.000-50.000 visitors a day. Known for luxury and very high prices.
It is making references to his time in Berlin, but I think it runs deeper than that.
