something about this song is strangely nostalgic for me, although i can't for the life of me think of a time when i heard it prior to my ownership of Ten at age 11, and it seems to scream nostalgia from earlier than that. I don't know why, either. But this song, at least at the current moment, is probably my favorite song ever.

It was the song they opened with in 1996 in London which was pretty lucky for me as it's probably my favourite and it was my first show.

I just like the feeling it gives me. It takes me away from cold England to somewhere much warmer and more peacful. Jeff's bass at the end as well... :)

This song is the latest PJ song to go from "meh, whatever" for me, to "this song is great!"

Happy that it happened! :)

The vocals are great in this song, and the percussion is spot on.

Strangely enough, the song that took that path for me from "meh" to "yay", before Oceans, was Release. (And yes, I know that sounds crazy that I wasn't always fond of Release).

So, now I can honestly say that every song on Ten gets at least 4 stars (most 5) from me. (Except Deep. Idk if that will ever get there. :( )

sometimes I forget how good a song this is.

ditto, was just watching a video of this on youtube.

It's a really mature song, and I think it ages better than anything else from Ten.
