I've never been to impressed with this tune. It's one of the Ed songs that makes me not crazy about the middle records. I feel that Ed was going for simplicity, but it's almost too simplistic. I think. It's like a useless song to me, almost an interlude to Hail Hail.

I like the song even less when its played live. The atmosphere is gone, and on the version I have heard, Ed clangs the strings too quickly. It doesn't sound nice and I'd prefer Long Road and/or Release any day. It is also my least favorite album opener.

SIDE NOTE: To me, this song will always be the song that has so little of Mike it in, he can go take a dump while the band plays it live.

2.5 stars rounded down.

yeah, thinking about it I can't think of a live version of this that has ever done much for me.

good, but it wasn't that impressive. i'm not sure how you would make it impressive given the nature of the song.
