What don’t you like about it?

This is top 10 for me
It feels like a cool idea they don't do enough with.

The song is so static that I imagine it would work better if there was a bit more tension to it, some nervous energy in the rhythm to propel the song forwards, but instead it just kind of plods along.

I like NAIS more than You Are but it’s also a flawed song that doesn’t quite live up to its potential.

You Are has been one of my favorite songs since the first time I listened to it.

Both You Are and NAIS are top 20 PJ.
