I think it just has to do with people's tastes. A lot of people began listening to Straylight Run for John: his voice and his writing. And generally, Straylight Run is a band where the lyrics are a main focal point. Hence, a lyrically sparse song featuring mostly Michelle is disappointing to some. Understandable, but I think this song is really amazing. It's not something I put on every day, but every time I happen to come across it in iTunes on shuffle, I'm always impressed. It's very atmospheric and original sounding. And the door squeaking or whatever it is at the end is very nice.
Anywho, anyone think this could be continuing the main theme on Prepare To Be Wrong? The war, I mean. Sure, this song is vague enough it could be about anything, but it seems to fit that way. And the haunting, simplistic sound may just be to get that message across. Ya know, Use this song as an intro or companion to Later That Year and Big Shot.
