    Yes!
    I voted yes.. I think it's one the best songs off the last 2 albums..!
    It also works well live, even though I'm glad they don't overplay it

    I actually do.  Live it seems like it’s hard for Ed to hit the high notes, but I enjoy the song.

    You're not funny.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Is there a hell to the fucking no option. It's beyond atrocious :shudder:

    My two fav PJ songs post-Binaural are Sirens and the Fixer

    sirens has amazing lyrics and there’s nothing wrong with an 80s sound every once in a while

    Sirens studio version yes but don't think it comes across very well live.
    Agree on the lyrics.  Maybe it's an age thing but definitely getting more reflective now as Ed clearly is.

    At first I was not a fan, as typical with most songs off of these last three albums. But right now, I'm honestly super in love with all of it. It's the pre show hype maybe. But I can't get enough PJ at this point.

    If we're talking studio version, then especially no. That beginning is an immediate skip for me.

    Sirens live is a different beast entirely! Please listen to Sirens live at the Leeds, UK show 2014 (I think) - the crowd and jam at the end is just amazing!

    I would agree that it is different and better live, but when live it is only so-so instead of bad for me. I'm not complaining though at least it's PJ!

    Live or studio it is awful. Trite whining drivel of a song.
