    I think Go and Indifference take first but so far this combo is right up there with Once and Release.

    Wouldn’t have believed they could write a song with the emotional connection that Black did… Setting Sun does it. It’s beautifully mature. Can’t wait to hear it live.

    It took a while for me to get into this one. I had trouble looking past the first part of the song. Not really digging that tribal drum rhythm. Now it has grown on me considerably, and the final stretch is awesome. As I count Immortality as a closer, this one is only behind Immortality, Release and Indifference as their best!

    If this is the last song they play on the tour in Sydney I will be a mess. It is such a beautiful song & it does sound like a goodbye type of song. I got quite emotional listening to it last night, it hits me right in the soft spot

    Didn’t think they could still create a song I would like this much. Glad to be proven wrong.

    Amazing song. Classic closing song.

    This song has one if those super special PJ  moments. 

    “If you could see, just what I see now…”

    it’s not quite as good as the peaks of GTF (he still gives his love) or Corduroy (everything has chains) but it’s up there as one of those moments and gives me chills every time.

    I think Setting Sun should become one of the staple closers.

    I feel this as well. There’s just something there.

    This song steals the whole damn album in my opinion. Best since Given To Fly.

    This song hooked me on first listen and has grown to be an epic gem of a song, and a wonderful album closer.

    Scared of Fear / Setting Sun is a strong top 3 album starter / closer.

    Breaks my heart. Captures my last relationship perfectly:

    - I dreamt, to you, I would belong.
    Had the dream you would stay with me til kingdom come.
    Turns out, it was more like hit and run.
    Am I the only one hanging on? -

    Awful, awful, awful.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    I’m coming round to the idea of this being the best on the album, it’s such a classic PJ ballad.

    I honestly think Setting Sun is one of my favorite songs PJ have has ever made.

    Can apply to many types of relationships. CC left us rather abruptly.

    It's a binge worthy track that's for sure.  Repeat, then repeat again.

    I've been trying to figure out how PO relates to Chris, because that would be so appropriate. The Object is from the Zep "Presence" album. "Achilles Last Stand", from that album, was played at almost all (?) of TOTD's shows.  The words really fit in with this album. (As well as with TOTD, of course.)
