The new(-ish) album is beautifully melancholic. Love the last song.
From where wild strawberries grew. It’s about us and every band. “That was our time in the shade / No one but the driver got paid.” I had a dysfunctional relationship with touring. I saw it more as an extension of my social life. Or just a more out and about version of my life. I never saw it as work and as many will attest I didn’t really see myself as an entertainer.

I only recently found out about this album, which he did with Nick Rhodes, revisiting songs they wrote for the first iteration of Duran Duran. Definitely not what you'd expect from any of these people.
