David Bowie - Life on Mars?
One person, with typically bad British teeth, alone in a white room. No backdrop. No props. No band. No budget. No dance routines.
And he’s able to pull off an entirely captivating, engrossing performance video with virtually nothing at his disposal, except a camera pointed in his direction and some garish make-up. Oh, and a great song. It’s infinitely more artful and more interesting than epic, overproduced, storyboarded, plot-driven videos. Take note, My Chemical Romance.
I love this video - yet I love its fucked-up sequel, "Be My Wife," even more!
Look at this dude, just four years later:
