"New Killer Star" is a song written by David Bowie in 2003 for his album Reality. This was the first single from the album released on DVD only, except in Italy and Canada. While it is uncertain what the song is really about (like other Bowie songs), the lyrics make oblique reference to life in post-9/11 New York. However the video clip tells a surreal story using lenticular-postcard like images of a spaceship almost crashing into the modern American heartland.
