    I'd change my vote from "okay" to "don't like it"

    Easily my least favorite off the album. It's straight up boring.

    I actually didn't care for the song at first, but after about 10 listens it's become my second favorite song on the album.


    Also, I have this amazing music video idea for the song. If only DMB would let me do it. It would be their best video since Crush, and their most ambitious video since Crash Into Me.

    I'd rate it as "It's great," as opposed to, "A good tune," at this point.

    It's easily one of the best on the album, but it needs to rock more, like it does on stage. There needs to be a little more electric guitar on those transitions from the verses to the choruses, and a tiny bit less horns.

    Love it, but can't listen to it. Reminds me of recently breaking up with my boyfriend....

    The acoustic version is amazing and makes me love this song even more. It really is a solid song.
