I heard the radio cut today. Definitely chopped up and sounded popper. Started immediately with Ed singing... Anyone know the run time on it or where it can be heard online?
How Fuggin good this song is! Twice to work, Twice on way home every day since day 1.. I honestly dont remember listening this much to a single song like this since... I cant remember when....
For me, this is song is on another planet compared to anything else out there. I dont think you can fully understand the song until your able to sing along and put the story of it into perspective. Its beautiful.

I think I'm putting it away until the album proper. Let context decide.
That's where it's at for me. I've done enough listening to it on its own, it'll ultimately be decided on the album.

I just compared this to some Bryan Adams ballads, and there's no contest. Sorry "Sirens", I'm leaving you for Bryan.

I am finding more to like in this song over time and repeated listens, but overall I still rate this as marginally better than squidgy crap. I just can't get past so much of Ed's delivery here.
Sad really as the middle third is not terrible at all.

That's really really strange. Eds vocal seems to be the one thing even the haters are appreciating.
Leaving this song alone for a day, then coming back, is proving it to be absolutely great.

Is anyone still pretty sure it's "graves" rather than "grace", or is that just me?
