See, in an odd way I agree with this statement...but I think the song is awesome, so that tells you something.
I think I agree with both of you... musically I love it and think it rocks, but lyrically it's B-side material at best. That being said, feel free to ignore my thoughts, I'm someone who doesn't like the album at all (sadly, my favorite part of the album is the breakdown in Supersonic, followed by Force of Nature, the song all the Backspacer lovers don't like... go figure lol)
And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

i agree with you, force of nature is my favorite, but i think backspacer is their weakest effort (not that its bad tho, just the 9th best)

I think I kind of like it, but need it to grow on me some more. Like much of Backspacer, I think it ends too soon.
I really like Backspacer (maybe my 5th or 6th fav PJ album?) and Force of Nature, by the way.

LOVED this song from the moment I heard it. This particular experiment of theirs really clicked with me. Every time I hear it now it makes me wanna jump up and start dancing around.
I just need someone to be there for . . . me

Doesn't matter.
That's what I like about this song. It's different for Ed. Maybe because I'm a reader.
I like a "mystery" song.
It doesn't always have to be about the wife, or the ex., etc.
I like not knowing.
Because usually, I know.
