i had no idea what this saturdays song was gonna be. but last night, we went to moby concert on a whim (which was excellent. more to come on that another day) and he covered this song i believe during the encore, and i remembered this phenomenal song thats as haunting as it is beautiful. even though im still mad at lou reed for his lollapalooza antics.
i guess ive never really paid attention to the lyrics in this one, but wow, theres really a lot going on. i wont really get into it here, cuz this is a pg-13 audience but ill let you find it for yourself. its such a simple song, but just a classic bassline that youd recognize anywhere. especially enjoy the “doo doo doo” parts, with one set of vocals moving higher and the other moving lower. i just read that david bowie produced this song, which i guess makes a lot of sense.
