Rumbling and dark, slow and brooding, a lot of evocative "things"... this is a chanson of quite epic and majestic proportions. It was produced, mixed and co-written by Iggy's ski-instructor i.e. Dame David Bowie which is jolly odd in itself. Why is this so wonderful when everything on Bowie's own LP [
Never Let Me Down] is so useless? Probably because Iggy isn't a chameleon - he's just a bloke who can out boom and out croon anyone on the planet including Mick Hucknall even though he's approximately four million years old. This sloping and slippering heart-churner is all about how nobody loves Iggy. Fortunately, that is not true. Bravo wrinkly! (

Ross: David Bowie has a lot to answer for.
Sean: I'll just say, oh dear.
Ross: There you go, a wee short one.
