Very Squeezebox-ish jam, great melodic turns throughout.

The lyrics to this are actually quite dark to go with the uplifting music. An interesting juxtaposition.

Thanks. Now I’m kinda buying that these lyrics weren’t published because they’re too personal.

This is the "weak" link of the album for me, and it's still pretty good. This album sure is something special.

Yea, these lyrics are pretty intense. This song is what kept me from thinking the album had someting to do with his marriage. He’s clearly going through something, but this would be too much if it was that.
