David Bowie: The Stars (Are Out Tonight) Video

‘Introspection through retrospection’: David Bowie once again dwells on his past misadventures in the second single to be taken from the upcoming album, The Next Day (released 11th March).

Posted in the early hours of the 26th February, ‘The Stars (Are Out Tonight)’ is accompanied by career-refrenced catalogue of posing Bowie doppelgänger’s – especially The Man Who Fell To Earth – Station To Station – Low period. The man himself acts the role of suburban, house-trained, husband to Tilda Swinton‘s ever increasingly deranged wife; their lives challenged by the strange haunting neighbours next door.

Less elegiac than ‘Where Are We Now?’, Bowie follows a more direct route with his metaphorical musings on celebratory; producing a song that wouldn’t sound out of place on Reality.
