His voice really suits the chorus, yes, but I think he'd have trouble with the verses, to be honest. Suppose there's a reason why Nicky is singing it in the demo. Not that he works out great, mind. ;-)

Stunning song. Probably would have fitted into "Rewind The Film" better - could've been swapped for "Show Me The Wonder" instead.

The keyboards remind me massively of the synth work of Sylvester McCoy's Doctor Who. And actually I think that is the highest compliment I could ever give! My easily the favourite song on the album.
I also get what people are saying about how it isn't as consistent a mirror reflection of RTF as some wanted.
But this setback was very quick to get over.
Maybe that will be the Rick Rubin album they joked about ?
I think that could be a backwards progression from the new record.
I still haven't heard the demo version though.

Such a beautiful song. The demo with Nicky singing is absolutely heartbreaking.

I love this song more and more, could have fit on RTW I guess. I need to check out the demo, I will do that tonight, I forget I have the 2nd CD.

I'm afraid this is the 4 Lonely Roads of the album for me; it's the only one I'm skipping so far. It just jars with me compared to the rest of Futurology and seems more like a RTF outtake.

Yup. It's another one of the "well this isn't very Futuristic" songs to me. "...or Krautrock"

The lead synth still sounds like a dog being kicked, to my ears at least.

Certainly titles to be used in a heckle on the next tour, definitely! Don't want to hear any of them, mind you!

I love it, through I think it would work really well with a remix maybe something similar to the new robyn and royksop collaboration or something really stripped back to highlight her vocals to her a detached icemaiden style
