This is such an incredible song. It’s a shame that it wasn’t included on Alone With Everybody, because it could’ve easily replaced weaker songs like “Slow was my heart” or “Everybody”, but I can see why it was hidden as a B-side. A bit too lengthy, and perhaps a little over-produced as well, but still amazing.
As for interpretation, well, it’s clearly a love song. But the lyrics touch on topics of loneliness and isolation. I heard (or read) somewhere that Richard Ashcroft has had a history of depression, and I think the lyrics may reflect this – especially the first few lines of the song.
This is a great “headphones” song, especially the last minute or so that contain several vocal parts that seem to come at you from every which way.
