Σάββατο 12 Απριλίου 2025

Για το Σάββατο του Λαζάρου. Το “Lazarus” του D. Bowie και ένα τετράστιχο του Σελλενίδη. Per il sabato di Lazzaro. "Lazzaro" di D. Bowie e un epigramma di Sellenidis. For Lazarus' Sabbath. "Lazarus" by David Bowie and an epigram by Sellenides.

Κάτι σαν “Ἕν διὰ δυοῖν” ή δύο σε ένα: ένα ποίημα (περσινό στιχούργημα του Σελλενίδη) κι ένα τραγούδι (το κύκνειο άσμα του Ντέιβιντ Μπάουι), αλλά και το ίδιο το τραγούδι Lazarus επιλεγμένο όχι απο το official music video, αλλά με μια επεξεργασία μίξης (= η σπαρακτικά τραγική σύνθεσι του Μπάουι, κατάλληλα συντονισμένη με μουσική επένδυσι απο το εξαιρετικό κομμάτι A Forest των Cure).

 

1. “ΛΑΖΑΡΟΣ” ΤΟΥ ΑΛΕΞ. ΣΕΛΛΕΝΙΔΗ

                       

                     ΛΑΖΑΡΟΣ

-- Και σάν που ξαναγύρισες, πές μας, καλέ, τί είδες;

-- Η Αγάπη είναι αιώνια, το μόνο διαπιστώνω.

Κι ό,τι μονίμως σάς πλανά, αυτό το λέτε Χρόνο,

Τα γύρω και τα δίπλα σας είναι κρυφές κλεψύδρες!

LYRICS: 

"Lazarus" 

Look up here, I'm in heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen
I've got drama, can't be stolen
Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below

Ain't that just like me?

By the time I got to New York
I was living like a king
Then I used up all my money
I was looking for your ass

This way or no way
You know, I'll be free
Just like that bluebird
Now, ain't that just like me?

Oh, I'll be free
Just like that bluebird

Oh, I'll be free
Ain't that just like me?

D. BOWIE  (1947– 2016)

This song is, along with the rest of the album 'Blackstar', the final piece of art of David Bowie. To understand these lyrics you will have to see them in context of his death. On 8 January 2016, Bowie’s 69th birthday, the album 'Blackstar' was released. Only two days later, 10 January 2016, Bowie died from cancer. His passing came as a big shock for almost everyone, because Bowie did only tell a select group of people about his condition and kept it out of publicity. On the album release, this song seemed just to be another enigmatic artwork of Bowie, maybe a new faze that he was going through. Until everything became clear when Bowie died and everybody found out that he was diagnosed with cancer 18 months before. Bowie knew he was dying when he wrote this song. With this album and this song, he turned his death into art, to match his life as David Bowie. Bowie’s death is the key to understanding this song. ‘Lazarus’, the song title, is a biblical figure that rose from the death, like Bowie in this song speaking to us from the death.
