    Certainly my fav song off Avocado. It has some of the band's more spiritual lyrics, and it gives so much insight into where Mike goes when he closes his eyes, throws his head back, and plays from a trance. I can picture him "running into the rain to be a human light again." The lyrics remind me so often to take care of what goes on inside me, and the outside consequences will follow.
    Thanks for making a thread about the song.

    I always visualized this as on opener for a show, but a very long extended intro.

    It was the opener for the Las Vegas show in 06 and was fantastic.

    I really can't stand Matt's drumming in this song. Fills are boring, he opens his hi-hats at the strangest times and doesn't give the song the right flow it deserves.
    The middle section does nothing...

    I do love the intro and beginning verses and the chorus works, but Matt ruins it for me.

    I love Matt, but this is his worst effort.

    Sorry.. my two cents...

    I disagree.. As a drummer I like the odd time signature with the hi hats... Probably more of a keeping rhythm thing than a sound enhancer... Does that make sense?

    Give the Oslo 2012 version a spin.. So well done by everyone in the band! Not even close to the studio version... So much better!

    i see / hear a lot of similarities between this song and Sirens. I mean that in a good way. Mike has a "style" when it comes to writing.
