Otherwise a standout.
That was Mike adding some 'Brightness' to the song. In his own words. :shake: Fuckin hell. Basically whenever Bo'B or mike tell you somethings good, its because they shit all over it.

I'm not sure about this. Its like lowlight's and hard to imagine's lovechild, with a sprinkling of into the wild and mikes guitar jizz.

I like the chorus.

I like those parts! its the solos im having trouble with. Don't fit the song at all imo.

Eddie's doing some weird vocal runs or whatever on parts of this.

Does anyone else hear a similarity with the very start of this and sirens? It sounds really similar to me, i keep thinking sirens is about to start.

The chords on the chorus sound really familiar. Like some movie song.

Imagine if the guitar really did sound like NAIS like that one review said. :( welp.

I really dislike that piano in the back

We need one of these for McCreaaaaaddyyyyyyyyy too

This is really good. It might end up in the top 3 of this album.

I think it is decent, but feel like it was polished too much into having a movie soundtrack feeling to it instead of being left to what it naturally would have otherwise been.

The piano in the back of this one sounds very like the piano in Lowlight.
