The Man Who Sold The World is a haunting song with a haunting legacy. Its story is ambiguous and vague, leaving plenty of room for interpretation. Who is this man, who did he sell the world to, and most importantly, what even is a gazely stare? It's hard to say for sure, but however you choose to read the song, it's drenched in pain and loss, and those same feelings have inspired musicians for generations since Bowie first wrote it.
