Funny, but that's what I thought when I first heard this song...Bowie's version is too slow, and I'm a Bowie fan. Began listening to this band a few days ago and am impressed. Hadn't realized anyone had covered Bowie's song. The song is excellent...makes one think what s/he would do (but more importantly how s/he would feel) if s/he knew her life were tied to a stop watch. Would we give up/give in and accept defeat. Would be try to squeeze in everything on our 'to do' list. Would we take risks and shoot for the moon, regardless of possible...

Any song a band sings/performs that causes the listener to be introspective (to examine one's own life) is a worthy song...
yeah the songs great, but i only like it when brian sings it, bowie´s verision is too slow..
i found the video where brian sings it on "Traffic Musique" on youtube.com, just search for "placebo five years" and youll find it too =)
