O famigerado clip de David Bowie, lançado em 2013, que mal foi divulgado na Terra de Vera Cruz – por razões óbvias.
The Next Day
Look into my eyes he tells her
I’m gonna say goodbye he says yea
Do not cry she begs of him goodbye yea
All that day she thinks of his love yea
They whip him through the streets and alleys there
The gormless and the baying crowd right there
They can’t get enough of that doomsday song
They can’t get enough of it all
Listen
Listen to the whores he tells her
He fashions paper sculptures of them
Then drags them to the river‘s bank in the cart
Their soggy paper bodies wash ashore in the dark
And the priest stiff in hate now demanding fun begin
Of his women dressed as men for the pleasure of that priest
Here I am
Not quite dying
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
Its branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for me
And the next day
And the next
And another day
Ignoring the pain of their particular diseases
They chase him through the alleys chase him down the steps
They haul him through the mud and they chant for his death
And drag him to the feet of the purple headed priest
First they give you everything that you want
Then they take back everything that you have
They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees
They can work with satan while they dress like the saints
They know god exists for the devil told them so
They scream my name aloud down into the well below
Here I am
Not quite dying
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
Its branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for me vAnd the next day
And the next
And another day

Olha só Du, o que achei sobre o assunto na Wipedia (deu o maior rebú):
Controversy
Bowie, Cotillard and Oldman as depicted in the video
The video gained wide attention and caused a controversy. It was banned from Youtube just two hours after its release due to “violation of Youtube’s Terms of Service.”[2][10][11] However, the video returned on the website shortly after its removal, with an age restriction. A Youtube spokeswoman stated: “With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call. When it’s brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it.”[1][11][12]
The video also triggered many backlashes and criticisms from various Christian organizations. William Anthony Donohue, the leader of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, heavily criticized it and David Bowie, calling the video “a mess” and referring to Bowie as “a switch-hitting, bisexual, senior citizen from London”.[13][14] The former Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, also criticized the song as “juvenile” and urged other Christians to “rise above.” He also stated that he doubted whether Bowie would have the courage to use Islamic imagery.”[15] Also, Andrea Williams of Christian Concern questioned the point of the video while Jack Volero of Catholic Voices referred to it as “desperate”.[15]
As a reaction to the controversy and Donohue’s criticisms, davidbowie.com, the official website of David Bowie, issued a response, named as “The Next Day, the day after”. The writing contains an explicit response to the depiction of “the served eyeballs”, which is acknowledged to be a reference to Saint Lucy

Que pouca vergonha esse vídeo! Não é digno desse blog.

Muito interessante o vídeo. Acho que “dignidade” não é conceito aplicável ao blog, como sugere Tânia Paschoal. “Dignidade” implica nobreza de nascimento, diferenciação entre pessoas, castas.
Aliás o vídeo trata da profanação. A profanação não é algo novo na arte, Nossa Senhora do Baudelaire que nos diga…rs.
Há que se pensar porque o profano sempre nos choca. Para além da crítica às instituições religiosas do vídeo, fica sempre a pergunta: se a profanação não nos aproxima do sagrado, porque faz dos deuses, seres humanos em sua eterna imperfeição.
Se “Deus está morto” (Nietzzsche diagnostica essa morte, mas não é o assassino!) a profanação é um sentido que a modernidade parece arranjar para cultuar a divindade, num mundo que perdeu a inocência.
O vídeo parece sempre trazer a pergunta: os homens sobreviveram à fúrias de Deus, mas pode Deus sobreviver à fúria dos homens? Desde a Grécia Antiga, essa pergunta é sempre reposta….
O vídeo nasceu clássico. Dá luz como poucos da nossa condição profana e nossa necessidade de profanações.
…. Nasce Nietzschiano, filosofando com o martelo ….rs
Parabéns Edu, pelo achado!
Abraços,
