But good god, it's absolutely unbelievable magic. Wikipedia claims that the original lyrics included the lines "Now that we've grown up together/They're taking drugs with me," but in fact it's the finalized version (allegedly changed out of fear of being ostracized by radio), "Now that we've grown up together/They're afraid of what they see" that I find the most affecting.
Quickly rocketing up to the same rarefied Tree of Hearts echelon that currently houses Björk's "Hyperballad", Pet Shop Boys' "What Have I Done To Deserve This?", and Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love", would it be gushing to say I love this song?
Below is the unforgettable video. Seriously, why don't they make all videos like this anymore?
...And an amazing remix by the legend that is Shep Pettibone:
