Like most songwriters, feelings are processed through writing music and lyrics—consciously or subconsciously. Apparently the latter was true for Gwen Stefani, who told Nylon in a new interview that her 2006 hit song “The Sweet Escape” foreshadowed her divorce from Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale nearly 10 years before it actually happened.
“It makes me cry,” Stefani said of the song. “I listen to the lyrics of that song, and it’s like, ‘Whoa!’ There was so much loaded fucking stuff in that song that was going on in my private life that it’s just crazy. It’s foreshadowing the future.”
