I can't get this song out of my head. With these strange times we find ourselves living in,this song could be the anthem.  By far my favorite on the album. What's your thoughts on this gem?

    I think it’s  the song I’m most excited to hear live. Guitars will be more present in the ‘chorus’, I’d guess. Then the great close.

    It’s my favorite on side 3 of the vinyl.  It’s been stuck in my head as well.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Love this song. In my head when he sings “it could be thunder or a crowd” I picture it live with everyone screaming after that line. Oh yes, it was a crowd.

    Didnt like it after the first listen.  It clicked after the 2nd or 3rd.  Now I love it!

    It’s my #1 song on this album. When Ed’s voice goes up and adds the ‘round after ’feel the retrograde spin us around’ is amazing. When we finally see this live the crowd is going to go nuts at the end when he sings ‘hear the sound, in the distance now, could be thunder or a crowd’. Can’t wait!

    Loved it from the get go. While every song on this album is kick ass, this was the one I immediately fell in love with on the first listen.
