Loved this when I first heard it two weeks ago. Still a firm favourite for me. I love the whole album, but I think this and the closer, The Final Few Minutes, are my favourites. I guess they both speak directly to me.

I saw the title when you uploaded a couple of weeks back... LOVE the title... and it doesn't disappoint (slightly different song than I'd have written with the same title, though!)

Massive stereo! Gorgeous sound... loads of space for the message in the middle.

Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay" Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away" But I'm still standing in the light And I won't go down without a fight Some say, "True love is just a lie" Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…

This brought a smile - I've been here. This is probably my favourite.

A beautiful closer to an awesome, complex RPM album. So lovely to hear new stuff from you. I agree with will of the sun, this *could* be your last, but I'd love to hear that lighter, more optimistic side of you in your final few moments! What a year it's been.

Great to hear so many elements in this album - wonderful layering throughout, and the electric guitar in this track is so perfectly placed.

Great moody vibe - love the depth added by the bvox towards the end.

Love the overlays at the end - that works beautifully in pulling out the hook!

I love all the guitar layering you're doing on this and other tunes on the album. Creates great depth.

Quite a challenging album, an emotional rollercoaster; everything from an air of pessimism, to poignancy, to heartfelt. As usual, you have a great way of painting pictures and telling stories through your lyrics. I know you mentioned that you would be proud if this was to be you last album (I'm paraphrasing), and I would agree because it's a great album. However, at times the album is quite dark, which is a bit of a departure from the optimism I'm used to hearing. Hope you continue with your music.

Great track! Love the full instrumentation. You should open up your singing like this more often.
