I can definitely hear Bowie in this, and I think that lyric "modern love" is an homage or something to Bowie's classic song from the '80s, "Modern Love".
Anyway, love this song. Hell I love 'em all. It's STP, how can I not love all of the songs on the album? And no I'm not forcing myself to love them, I actually do love this album. Can't stop listening.
