I don’t remember which interview it was but regarding forgiveness and suicide, Ed has said “I’m not there yet”
The lyrics are perfect. They explore all the emotions involved
It was in the NYT interview published recently where Ed said something like this. The part where the interviewer and him engage in a discussion on suicide.

Yeah he was just being totally honest and open about all the different feelings one goes through when someone takes their own life. It's not that they are wrong or right, they just are. And you have to find a way to work through all of it.

Those chorus lyrics reminded me of this:
I just revisited this again and I hate Ricky Gervais as a person but goddamn this is funny as fuck!
Bahahaha!
Oh fuck, now I’ll never be able to listen to Long Way without hearing “free love on the free love freeway”.
Come to think of it, that might be an improvement to the lyrics…

"she's dead!"
"no, she's not dead"

I don't recall who first shared that Alive observation, but I hear it more with every listen. I am pretty into this song now. I think I have it 5th on the album (I don't really rank On My Way for whatever reason)

This version of the Office is my favourite comedy ever, and this is the best episode in my opinion. So so good.

I understand that people have different taste in music, but for me Picture may be the worst song ever released that Eddie sings on.

I think that's a lot better. Difference between a 0 star rating, and a 1,5.

Can't deny me is a 0. Picture is different, it's not what we should expect, but it's not a 0 star song by any means.

I feel like the closing trifecta of Picture, Mrs Mills and On My Way is really well thought out
