    I think River Cross is one of their best songs ever. Some reason it just resonates with me right now.

    7 O'clock is the song I was hoping they'd make on this album. Brilliant. 

    This is the album I had no clue they could still make, but better than I could imagine they could have made.

    Me too - I find myself skipping to these two most times when listening to the record. Hoping the others grow on me!

    Share the light, won't hold us down - Ends the thematic, idea that this no time to give up, we can still make it better. It's in every song. 

    "Whoever said it's all been said Gave up on satisfaction",
    "Don't allow for hopelessness, focus on your focusness"
    "That's not a negative thought, I'm positive"

    To listen for a heartbeat, it's your own 

    "This fucked-up situation calls for all hands, hands on deck,"
    "Much to be done... Much to be done,"
    "So I say til then... Never say goodbye,"
    "Now's the time to resurface,"
    "Firstly do no harm,Then put your seatbelt on,Buckle up,"
    In the face of rejection I'm trying," 
    "Things are better than right now,"
    "Share the light, won't hold us down" 

    Not a concept album, but that idea runs through every song.

    Love this song and how it's a hopeful end to the album. It truly was the perfect song to perform for the Global Citizen event. I feel like I could see this taking the place of indifference as a slow closer.

    I've always said the big difference between PJ and Nirvana was that Nirvana's message was always one of doom and gloom where PJ's message was yes there is doom and gloom but also hope!

    I am about ten listens into the album and I can't stop singing this song. It is definitely my current favourite on the album

    I like it but don't love it yet. You can tell there's an emotional intensity to it right off the bat but whenever I've listened to I haven't been in the frame of mind to fully absorb and process its intensity. And I've listened to the album a shit ton. I'll get there though. Maybe because it comes  straight after my favourite part of the album I come down a bit? Who knows.
