The fact that this song has been in the charts since 2006 proves its worthiness of the song of the decade title

Simply brilliant! it also has the best build to a climax with the best, albeit quietest to a rock song that i have ever heard, tell Russ williams to stop talking over the last few piano notes.

This song was so over-played when it was released, but I still love it!!

A very dear friend of ours passed away in this year- we shared many years of great music . Sadly we couldnt share this one- but it makes me smile everytime I hear it and reminds me of a greatly missed friendship. XXX Also a goosebumping live track - cant wait to see them again n the Colston hall next month
