David Bowie's death in 2016 left many people feeling that the world had entered a state of chaos. Bowie's music and lyrics had a profound impact on his fans, offering a unique perspective on modern life. His songs were futuristic and prophetic, and his search for art was relentless. Bowie's early career was marked by a sense of alienation and a desperate desire to create music that was truly art. Art-rock is an appropriate genre to describe his music, as it encapsulates his unique style and approach. Bowie's life was filled with a lifelong interest in ideas about life on other worlds, yet one of his most famous songs, "Life on Mars," is more concerned with the failings of this planet. This book provides a comprehensive examination of all the songs from Bowie's golden years, spanning from his days as a mod saxophonist to his 1980 hit album, "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)." Bowie's songs range from extraordinary to esoteric, but they are always written from the heart.
