Two legends gone at the age of 69. I am so shocked and gutted. They are English artists who both died of cancer within four days of each other.
David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016)
For me, Heroes will forever encapsulate David Bowie’s genius. It is a song I can’t get bored of, featured in films such as Moulin Rouge and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d’you say?
And of course, Space Oddity sets the tone perfectly for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
However, let’s not forget the remarkable on-screen work he’s done. I may be neglecting to mention the most well-known performances he’s done, but my personal favourites include his portrayal of Nikola Tesla in The Prestige and him featuring as a more brash version of himself in Ricky Gervais’ show, Extras.
Check out his hilarious interview about being on the show:
Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman (21 February 1946 – 14 January 2016)
Alan Rickman will forever be known to my generation as the fantastical almost-villain everybody loves to love, Professor Snape in the Harry Potter movies.
“I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death.” – Snape
I will also remember him from a film I watched years and years ago called Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.
A fantastically well-spoken performer (who was forever impersonated on chat shows), whose voice will forever be associated with Absolem the blue caterpillar in Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Thankfully he completed the second instalment to the Alice in Wonderland series, Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch are two of many celebrities who impersonate Alan Rickman regularly, but Family Guy might just take the cake:
I figured your legendary statuses would prevent you guys from passing away somehow… Rest in peace you glorious human beings.
Jodie.
PS. I can only hope that David Bowie will forever be remembered as a majestic guy who rode a tiger made of lightning.
Fiona’s songs are perfect for those times when you’re royally pissed off, or bitter about something. Sharon’s songs are perfect for those times when you’re feeling a tad melancholy or nostalgic. Fiona and Sharon’s vocals are both natural-sounding, as in, their live and recorded versions tend to sound identical. PURE TALENT.
Besides their musical style being similar, they are both grunge, messy, quirky, yet stylish at the same time. I bet they shop at the same stores… They’re both kind of shy and humble in interviews, too.
But after listening to much of the album 15 Seconds of Fame, I found a couple of songs that were a bit below the belt – no pun intended… Like Escort Girl – a literal explanation of a night spent with an escort.
I’m obsessed. Absolutely.
If you marry that up with this beautiful music video, it supports this idea so well.
She holds up her arms, which are drenched in red before falling to the floor. He rushes over and pulls back her sleeves to find there’s not a mark on her. The woman looks up at him with a look of relief, smiles at him and walks out.
could tell the difference between this video and the one-shot intro to
This is the second song I’ve reviewed of Billy Roberts’.
Easy listening for the over 25-year-old single or broken-hearted ladies out there.
I really love this track!
I reckon their music would suit movies like 
First of all, I should declare that rap music really isn’t my jam.
The first thing I thought was ‘Nick Cave’. I think it’s David Arn’s gravelly voice and story-telling songs.
These two suggestions are simply to reinforce the intensity of the song. So that the weight of the deep and bold vocals, guitar and lyrics can be fully supported by the rest of the instruments.

To be frank, the flashbacks made me feel really uncomfortable. But… I guess the world of heroin addicts shouldn’t exactly be attractive.
In fact, if you enjoyed 
I’d like to point out that the screenplay was written by Nick Hornby, who wrote 
While we are on the topic of Sia, I love her earlier song: Chandelier.
I am so slow to the party.
(Toward the end of the video, Ziegler softly hits LaBeouf on his forehead. Each time she does so he changes his expression to show the emotions he represents: scared (he’s holding his breath – claustrophobia?), sarcastic, angry and depressed.
Personally, I didn’t realise how young the girl was until I read about it. However, it hasn’t changed my view on the video. I find it creative and expressive. But I suppose you can read into anything if you have an angle in mind.
Never Tear Us Apart was written and performed by Australian rock band INXS in 1988. However, it was originally written in a bluesy genre with a similar sound to Fats Domino.
Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking? is a funk/electro track being released by Bernie Journey. He is New York-based and a self-described dance/pop singer-songwriter.
