Taste It Lyrics

This song was about Michael Hutchence, literally being unable to taste.

I believe it was either 1994 or 1995 when he was king hit from behind by a taxi driver. Michael was out riding his bike in the South of France and refused to move off to the side of the road. The taxi driver got out and hit him in the back of the head which resulted in a concussion.

He lost both taste and smell senses.

From that moment on, he became a different person. He suffered depression.

The song is from 1992, Michael was hit the same year in Denmark, I don't know whether the album was released after the incident and the song refers to it.
