  • It is a good track, I think 12 pts are okay for this.

    For me, it lacks a bit power, could be more straight forward and powerful.

    ... good things come to those who wait

  • I love this track. 14 points

    This one could be a great final track for live shows. Then again, I think the ending is not the best idea. Would have prefered something without a fadeout. I like the gospel bits a lot. Neverthess, a nealy outstanding track.

  • Starts a little slow, but the sheer epicness of the 2nd half MORE than makes up for it! One of my top 3 songs on i/o and one of my top 10 of PGs catalogue.


    Very uplifting sound and message, and not only a perfect way to end an album, but also has a very anthemic feel to it, not unlike In Your Eyes-especially when played live.

  • It also became one of my favorite Gabriel songs quickly. It's a great finale on i/o but also a great track in his whole catalogue.

    cheers

    Christian
