    Lyrics:
    I’m dying to
    Push their backs against the grain
    And fool them all again and again
    I’m trying to
    We bitches tear our magazines
    Those oligarchs with foaming mouths come
    Now and then
    Can’t believe for just one second I’m forgetting you
    I’m trying to
    I’m dying to
    #DavidBowie #DollarDays #Rock

    The whole album felt like it was his way of saying goodbye, this line especially, in this song: "Don't believe for just one second I'm forgetting you, I'm trying to, I'm dying to."

      Bowie's original preferred instrument the sax. I noticed how he sprinkled the last record with it. If you haven't already listen to side two of heroes now there is soul destroying sax. Watch the movie Christian F. that includes the songs from side two heroes; powerful.

I always felt a very special bond w/ Mr. David Jones. When I heard this song and I Can't Give Everything Away I knew he knew and didn't want it to be so. Now I can't get "My Death" off my mind.

I've been a fan since the early days (1972-73) & saw/heard him go from Ziggy..to Major Tom...Diamond Dogs/his "Floor Show".....Young Americans...."The Thin White Duke"...Heros....The Man Who....Ashes To Ashes....China Girl.... Pop, Rock, R & B, "Disco," his work with Reznor, some jazzy stuff here & there,... The man's artistry had few limits. He will be sorely missed.

    I came to think of the question "What would you do if you knew you had 18 months left to live?". Most people would say "I'd travel and do all the things I've always wanted to".
    David's answer would have been "I'll make it a show" and then he created his last masterpiece.

    "Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend". Although I never knew him personally, his masterful work, make me feel like he was my friend. I think David Bowie was a friend to all those who understand him, through the expression of his soul, which is his life's work. He was so fucking awesome! I just can't believe the Starman has returned home for good! 😥♥⭐🌹

    [Verse 1]
    Cash girls suffer me, I’ve got no enemies
    I’m walking down
    It’s nothing to me
    It’s nothing to see
    If I'll never see the English evergreens I’m running to
    It’s nothing to me
    It’s nothing to see
    [Chorus 1]
    I’m dying to
    Push their backs against the grain
    And fool them all again and again
    I’m trying to
    We bitches tear our magazines
    Those Oligarchs with foaming mouths phone
    Now and then
    Don’t believe for just one second I’m forgetting you
    I’m trying to
    I’m dying to
    [Verse 2]
    Dollar days, survival sex
    Honour stretching tails to necks
    I’m falling down
    It’s nothing to me
    It’s nothing to see
    If I'll never see the English evergreens I’m running to
    It’s nothing to me
    It’s nothing to see
    [Chorus 2]
    I’m dying to
    Push their backs against the grain
    And fool them all again and again
    I’m trying to
    It’s all gone wrong but on and on
    The bitter nerve ends never end
    I’m falling down
    Don’t believe for just one second I’m forgetting you
    I’m trying to
    I’m dying to
    [Outro]
    I’m trying to
    I’m dying to
    I’m trying to
    I’m dying to
    I’m trying to
    I’m dying to
    I’m trying to
    I’m dying to

    Desde el inicio el semblante de la canción es triste. Pero en la tristeza que evoca hay grandeza. Me da la impresión que es el punto de vista de una persona que se prepara para irse para siempre. Sin cargas, sin enemigos, evocando lo vivido y siendo consciente que ya no hay más.

    • @inafridge8573
      @inafridge8573 2 года назад +5

      Yeah, "I've got no enemies" is maybe my favorite line from this song... he's at the end of his life and he's free of hate. All of our differences and fears and misunderstandings and woes maybe seem to fade away when you recognize the enormity of each of our lives. When you're old, wise and dying, maybe you better recognize the humanity in yourself and everyone, so you are free of having enemies...

He will be remembered in hundreds of years in the same way as Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Strauss are. He changed music forever, he invented personas and composed track after track of complex and futuristic brilliance. His legacy to us is immeasurable and future generations will be enriched by it.
