The first song I heard by David Bowie was Fame, co-written by John Lennon, and it really left me with chills up my spine when I heard it the first time. It's about fame being like a poison and this masterpiece of a song is a statement against the idea that doing whatever it takes to become famous is alright. I completely resonate with this that killing your soul for fame and sacrificing who you are to climb to the top will only make you lose in the end. This piece is about the glamour that comes with fame on the external but internally we are all the same bones.

I often have fantasized about being famous having financial stability being able to go wherever I wanted, eat whatever expensive meals I wanted, and buying whatever I wanted. But when you have everything you could ever want at your fingertips, what comes with that? No privacy, no real control over what you do without judgement, constantly second guessing yourself and appealing to an audience of the world. I feel like this kind of fame could possibly be one of the worst things for the human mind, so what is it that really drives me to keep pushing for becoming more well-known in the art realm? I think at this point the best thing for an artist is legacy. We want to touch the world with our art. Maybe sometimes fame comes with that, but a kind of fame that celebrates the art for what it is and embraces it. The kind of fame that touches people in different ways but isn't invasive. A fame you don't have to constantly cater to. Is it possible?
