A frequent response to the death of David Bowie was that it was unexpected because he had seemed immortal. The reason for that, of course, lay in the incredible variety of professional personæ he had adopted in a long and unique career. Bowie always seemed other-worldly and it was no accident that Nicolas Roeg chose him to play the humanoid alien in his 1976 movie The Man Who Fell To Earth. It was music though, that was to provide David Bowie with a springboard for tireless self-reinvention across half a century. His songs collected here appeared on albums ranging from 1969 to 2016. From ‘Space Oddity’ to ‘Lazarus’ here is what made the man a legend: the music from the many lives of David Bowie. Inside this book you will find 20 songs arranged for piano, voice and guitar.
