I had also heard that this was based on his brother. His brother had mental / emotional problems. He commited suicide, jumped off a building, when david heard his brother was standing on a legde treatening to jump, David ran down to where he was, and when he got there a crowd of ppl were standing below yelling jump. And, he did.
I think this video is making a statement about how easy it is for people to treat one another as human-doings, rather than human-beings... In the corporate world especially, people are viewed not as being human, but as a being a means to "end"; a thing.
David Bowie is a music genius this comment comes from an african american!!!

This song makes me cry sometimes. It's very emotional because it's about Bowie's brother: he commited suicide because he had a mental disease
