A life with and now without DAVID BOWIE
To my Friends and musical confidants, the listeners of Number One Music,
If you can feel something missing, honor your senses, we all are missing something that is no longer in our little World.
A life with and now without DAVID BOWIE. I am feeling compelled to share a thought or two about this person who, without warning, came into our lives and changed many of us, if not ALL of us, forever. You can look around at this world and barely remember what it looked like when Bowie came into our senses. Who would have thought that what was to be was a biological and metaphysical metamorphous for music, art, fashion, and social identity fusions. I can’t begin to explain how his music and spirit impacted me personally, for I had no idea the effect, in reflection, his passing was to have on me. I truly feel I have lost a special friend and never had the change to say good-bye. I myself have over my years had something crawling around, this music, a music that won’t go away. It whispers loudly and have only in these past few hours realized the permission that Mr. Bowie presented to those like me to be me. So, I remember, we were and still are Pretty Things and having a Moonage Daydream and learning the Width of a Circle. I’m full of reflection and feeling the loss of someone who really moved the dust. A kindred sprint whose presence will be missed and for me is felt. A final thought; I truly hope that we find in our world, our hearts, our ears, and our Souls, more Champions of Light like David Jones aka David Bowie, who will brighten us up, light up our imaginations, connects us to ourselves and each other, and speak to the brilliance and mortality of our being and not the petty nature of a confined experience.
To you, the listeners of Number One Music and musicians and artists, I hope will not let the creativity and spark of his light go out. Take it and feed on it. Remember that his light has already brighten your creative path, so sharpen your ears to hear the call of the next stars of real creativity and demand more than just the same old same old.
All the Light and Love to You All Forever Always, Will Charles
