There She Goes is one of those songs. Whether soundtracking fond memories of hazy teenage summer crushes, haunting bitter-sweet laments or providing the audio for a number of falling-in-love montage sequences in cheap rom-coms, There She Goes will be the go-to song for decades to come. It’s hard to overstate the song’s perfection. The La‘s [...]
There aren’t many times when the words ‘Thank God Kurt Cobain is dead’ could be legitimately muttered. Today is one of those days.
