David Bowie - Valentine's Day

Sometimes I don't listen to music or watch music videos when they are first released because I am into another type of music at the time and don't feel I'm able to focus on the music whole heartedly and/or if I feel there is a lot of hype around it I wait it out for months sometimes even years to see how I really feel about it.

Such was the case for David Bowie's most recent single; Valentine's Day. I watched the first 3 singles as soon as they came out from this album but felt like I needed to wait to watch this one so I could appreciate it more.  

But holy wowzers!  This is the best LOOKING video from this album so far, and that's not undermining the others at all. But the colors and angles and crispness of this is absolutely wonderful.

Mister Bowie; you're looking just as powerful and mysterious as always!
 
And that guitar... So good!

This is definitely one of my favorite Bowie albums; very present but uniquely Bowie. I don't think it's caught on like it needs to yet. It kind of jumped out and slid into the shadows. I still hope Bowie does at least one live appearance in support of this album.
