Dopo il suo ritorno sulle scene musicali con l’album The next day, uscito a dieci anni di distanza dal suo precedente lavoro in studio, David Bowie sembra essere diventato inarrestabile e, dopo aver dato alle stampe un video low budget per il suo nuovo singolo Love is lost, oggi tramite Vice è arrivato un secondo video per questo brano.

Alla regia questa volta è stato chiamato Barnaby Roper, regista inglese naturalizzato americano già piuttosto famoso nell’ambiente musicale per aver collaborato con artisti del calibro di Futureheads, OkGo, e Moby, che ha ripreso la versione di Love is lost remixata da James Murphy degli LCD Soundsystem, contenuta nell’edizione deluxe di “The Next Day”.

David Bowie, Love is lost – Il testo

[Verse 1]
It’s the darkest hour, you’re 22
The voice of youth, the hour of dread
It’s the darkest hour, and your voice is new
Love is lost, and lost is love

[Verse 2]
Your country’s new, your friends are new
Your house, and even your eyes are new
Your maid is new, and your accent, too
But your fear is as old as the world

[Chorus]
Say goodbye to the thrills of life
When love was good, when love was bad
Wave goodbye to the life without pain
Say hello, your beautiful girl

[Verse 3]
Say hello to the greater men
Tell them your secrets they’re like the grave
Oh what you have done, oh what you have done
Love is lost, lost is love
You know so much, it’s making me cry
You refuse to talk, but you think like mad
You’ve cut out your zone and the things have fold
Oh what have you done, oh what have you done
Oh what have you done, oh what have you done
