Could be said of most Coldplay songs.
is this supposed to be interesting?
I’ve always respected Bowie, now I respect him a little more.
And, of course, what could they say? He’s David fucking Bowie. If anyone knows a good song, he was the guy.
I love the David Bowie x NIN performance of HURT, and I’m so glad he passed on Coldplay.
