    I bet a lot of people latched on to that line. I'd say it's the best in the song

    yeap, I agree. This is pretty much exactly what I'm thinking. Not only a bit literal, but sort of cliche thoughts/ideas.

    exactly.

    People please do not be too skeptical after one listen. Not that many are, but the best part of Dave is that the songs never sound the best on first listen.

    I bet Lillywhite will do magical things with this song. The studio version should be brilliant.

    upon further listening.. the song kind of reminds me of spaceman, with a worse vocal melody, and a more blatantly obvious message

    I can see the studio being amazing. First I heard it I my iPhone and em voted no then I listened to it on my tv with good speakers and now I really like it. Much potential we need Boyd and a sweet side of Jeff to come out in this song

    that's all I can imagine...I doubt Dave suggested a backup vocalist if there weren't any on the album and I imagine the fills will be very beautiful

    I really like this song. It certainly has some cheesy elements in the lyrics but it's an emotional song that really drives home. I would see this being Cry Freedom-like. I could see Roi coming up with some awesome fills for this one if he were still around, but I like Rashawn and Boyd can shine on this one.

    not a fan of the whisper singing. or the subject matter--just singing from the pov of we in this case sounds straight cheesy. anyone else get this vibe from the song?

    Definitely the best line. I love the choruses, the verses could be better, but the song as a whole is great. In Ma Pinion.

    Compare how songs sounded from Beacon Theatre to how they sounded on the album. Point is, songs on your tv sound like shit.


    This song goes from political in the first 1/2, to normal dmb the second half. we all know recent political dave songs have terrible past records. so sit back, wait for the albums, see how it sounds there, then make your call.


    i personally enjoyed it, to an extent.
