The Nomi Song (Not Rated)

The Nomi Song is a documentary I would recommend to everyone. It covers the life of Klaus Nomi, the late avant-garde, new wave singer. I knew nothing of Nomi or his life until watching the movie and now I'm fascinated with him.

In a time when conformity was the key to success, Nomi challenged the odds. He lived his life the way he wanted. Music became him and it radiated off of him. You can't watch this movie and not feel the passion this man had. It's something so many people lose but it's the only thing that kept Nomi going. Anyone who has ever been touched by music will feel the struggles and triumphs Nomi faced. His life was beautifully strange. Was he human? Some people actually wonder and by this became mesmerized with Nomi. It makes you question how his life could've come to such a tragic end. In his final days, he was abandoned. He became something people couldn't understand and so they feared him. He came before his time. But was this necessary? He was trying to show us something and the only way that people could see it was because he stood out. Wherever Nomi went he literally lighted up the room and after his death the world became a little darker. He left people to wonder; did he die or just go back to where he came from?
