text: do you know what has always bothered me about the david bowie song "heroes"? it is the most beautiful little love song, but it should have been a ballad. bowies spends most of the song screaming his lungs out, when it should have been more understated. i think it is one of the few miscues in an otherwise awesome career. agree, or not? no. no it shouldn't. it's about desperation. sigh.
