we never lost control...

tonight i realized that i havent listened to my favorite song in a while. i know ive said that i couldnt possibly make a playlist of my favorite songs because i would forget so many of them. but i do have one absolute favorite song that i wouldnt mind listening to on repeat for the rest of my life.
it is the man who sold the world (unplugged) by nirvana.
first of all i names my blog after it, it has to be good. its beautiful and sad and musically great and catchy at the same time. it was written by david bowie and, originally, quite shitty. like cheezy bowie robot voice 80s shitness. the nirvana version is much more melodic and emotional. 
for example (my favorite lines)...

he said i was his friend
which came as a surprise
i spoke into his eyes
i thought you died alone
a long long time ago

this song is about losing yourself and being ziggy stardust. i would not like to experience either.

~hello, goodbye
