This feels like they threw Mike a bone to let him have a song. Probably my least favorite.

It's the "rusted (?) shapes refuse to fall" bit... From that point on I really like this song.

It's very Siren-sy. It is less sappy than Sirens. It is better than Sirens. I'll mention Sirens again for effect.

But the end does lift it up. Typical of McCready. He knows how to hit those heartstring notes, one way or another.

God this is the only song i hate. This song sucks and im mad its on the record. Why is mike writing this shit lately?

Mike, if youre reading, i fucking love you, you are the reason I picked up the guitar.

Ed is to blame on this one too. ITs all just super adult contemp rock or whatever.

Lol!

yea, i just think its fucking awful. Everything else right now is great to fucking excellent. THis is a big black spot of shit on the album for me and it makes River Cross not as good as I dont feel ive earned this payoff.
