Seu Jorge does Bowie so beautifully

 

 

The most beautiful renditions of Bowie songs by any artist ever are those by Brazilian singer Seu Jorge. He does it in Wes Anderson’s masterpiece The Life Aquatic, throughout the whole film, in Portuguese, accompanied by just an acoustic guitar.

It is so soothing to listen to his warm, calm voice. To hear him give these songs, which have become an integral part of me, a completely new dimension, while at the same time retaining their familiarity.

God, it hurts so much to realize that Bowie is really dead. Friday I was euphoric about the new album, it felt like 1983 again, this would be a great Bowie year. And then three days later, the disbelief. The total shock.

Fuck.
