David Bowie / New video for Blackstar’s ‘I Can’t Give Everything Away’

This has been my favorite track off “Blackstar” from the moment I first listened to the album. It has had a private meaning for me over the past few months that actually had nothing to do with David Bowie’s death. Anyway, the video is simple, and I am fine with that. I found most of the videos after John Lennon’s death to be nothing but home movies with the same repetitive scenes (“Nobody Told Me” is an obvious example). Glad that it is not going to be this way for David Bowie, who was such a private person.

I like lyric videos and I am glad it is not as depressing as the last video – majestic, iconic, but depressing. As others have commented: can’t take another video like Lazarus, and Major Tom (or George Clooney) at the end was a nice lighthearted nod to our dearly departed Bowie.
I wonder if there might be 7 video songs selected from Blackstar as singles?

Barnbrook used to make me tea back in the late eighties when he was on work placement where I had a job. Nice guy and obviously talented as hell even back then. He’s a big John Foxx fan as well to his credit. Does design work for him too! Pretty cool seeing early draughts and rough sketches back then of some of his typefaces that are now seen absolutely everywhere, globally. About the only thing I have now that he doesn’t is…..a full head of hair! ;-)

Interesting that “Best of Bowie” is outselling the “new/improved/updated” “Nothing Has Changed” compilation.

SIGN’O’THE TIMES INSPIRED VIDEO, I GUESS… BRILLIANT SONG, AS USUAL!!! RIP BOWIE KING!!!

yeah I couldnt cope with anything else after lazarus, and to think at the time before his death when I watched lazarus i didnt get it but then after his death it made complete sense.
But its not a video I can watch anymore as it brings me to tears.

Am I the only one relieved this is an “animated visual” and not a fully filmed video featuring Bowie himself?

This song wrecks me enough as it is. I think another video with the same impact as Lazarus would do me in.

I thought it was a great video utilizing the artwork from the Blackstar album and with a lovely nod to Bowie at the end. Not sentimental and allowing the song, and it’s message, to speak for itself.

A bit of eye candy but that’s about it. They could have given it a different mix or something. And why no physical release as a single?

A nice understated visual to go with what is a brilliantly affecting track.
