Leaving on your own...

I noticed that this keeps resurfacing in my music today. The Smiths leave
on their own in How Soon is Now, The Verve are doing it (On Your Own),
I think there's a Pulp song with that line.

What's the deal? Do rock stars have abandonment issues? Are they
striving to recreate that classic feeling of yearning that staples like Leslie
Gore's "It's My Party" create?

Are the Verve and Pulp just ripping off the Mozzer?

rock music in self-conscious aggrandisement of the position of the individual as resistance to assimilation by the other shockah

or, you know, 'me me me'

"Do rock stars have abandonment issues?"

It's hypocritical of them to sing such things when they've got a whole band there on the record with them. Music is so fake.

Well someone has to strum those feathers and keep the beat with the straw wrappers.
