David Bowie - Quicksand (Live at the John Labatt Centre, London, Canada, 2004)

I’m frightened by the total goal Drawing to the ragged hole And I ain’t got the power any more

A wonderful live rendition of one of my favourite songs of all. I do wonder whether he kept the mispronunciation of “Crowley” on purpose. I think he did.

… and all at once, the outward appearance of meaning is transcended; and you find yourself struggling to comprehend a deep and formidable mystery:
I’m dying. You’re dying.
Second by second, all is transient. Does it matter? Do I bother?
Yes, I do. Life is fantastic. It never ends. It only changes. Flesh, to stone, to flesh, and round, and round.
Best keep walking.

In 1998, for the BBC, David Bowie made a mini-series titled „Conversation Piece“, where celebrities discussed their favourite sculptures. He himself did David Bowie - In Stillness and in Silence (Sacred) by British artist Richard Devereux. This is the most poignant part of the two minute piece and a really rare insight to what kind of thoughts art provoked in Bowie.
