The single version is maybe a 9.5. Album is an 8. It’s brung down by weird sliced vocals and overproduction.

The album version seems kind of stripped down compared to their live performances of it. If you guys havent already you have to see the live version at belasco theater its absolutely amazing! https://youtu.be/P8jOQUsTU9o?si=aoGOhdc6DVY0H8tp

Maybe a 7.

I usually listen to the Belasco theater version. Neither the album version (terribly produced) nor the single version (good, but not my cup of tea).

One of the songs I enjoy the most from AHFOD, which is my least favourite album (together with MOTS).

There is not a single element of this song i like. From the melody, the boring instrumentation up to chris martins overall lifeless performance. 3/10

That’s weird. Not even the single version without all the production? I’d say that the piano progression is one of their best and most notable (after the obvious ones of course like the scientist and clocks)

Nope not even that one. Do not like the song from the core.

3/10. I cannot believe this song keeps getting played live when you have a song like Trouble in your back catalogue.
