The way its offered on the album makes me a little anxious. It doesnt feel intimate enough or make feel as though its the closer. It doesnt simmer long enough maybe.

This song will be great live if people are allowed to congregate again

i absolutely love what the band added here. and i loved loved the ed original. everything added is atmospheric touches that give it air and let it fly.

This is really good. I think it's hurt (for a certain value of hurt) by occupying a thematic and even a musical space that does appear elsewhere on the album. This ties together a number of disparate thoughts running throughout, and probably feels a little familiar by the time you get here (as opposed to something like Indifference, which really comes out of nowhere on a record like vs).

Great songwriting though Radiohead sensibilities. I like.

I just sat on my couch in the dark with my hand raised. This is the song our quarantined lives needed.

The pump sound at the beginning is so delicious!

I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to this one the most so far. I love all layering towards the end.
I really love everything about this song. I don’t know that it’s my favorite, as that may be Buckle Up, but this one is definitely Top 3 for me.

perfect closer. pretty, but not mushy. the drums and bass part work perfect with ed's organ.

the choir section followed by the devolution of the music into a sloppy churchy ending is quietly brilliant

Love the music and lyrics, but it feels like Ed is tripping over his tongue here. He's trying too hard to fit all the words in there. The ending is beautiful

That's a lot of songs since Avocado.
