    Love the song... it gets a bit poppy near the end.... (i think)...

    Love the intro and the lyrics...

    Are you out of your mind; best PJ lyrics period; quite possibly their best song. Bravo Mike.

    Just the fact that we know about Mike's struggles...make the lyrics heart tugging.

    He bared his soul on this song...and it showed. Great job Mike!

    I love the whole thing. Total props to Mike for writing such a great tune. I don't mind the lyrics actually, the way in which they're written might not oh-so-amazing, but I find 'em at least empowering and uplifting. They compliment the music well anyway, for me at least.

    i agree - more mike epics. more mike songs in general. leave the lyrics to ed and the music to mike and i'd be stoked. while there are greats from the stone & the others i freaking love all of mike's tracks. brain of j, present tense, and inside job are some of my favorite tracks that immediately come to mind.

    Personally I think the ending is the best part.. when Ed is screaming "yeahhahh" and Mike is soloing!! Especially on the Vegas 06 show
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.
