Had the pleasure of reciting this song for a piano class, so beautiful. Very Christmas-y/winter sounding, I think (sleigh bells @ the end!). Ben said that he wrote the song as a challenge, when he thought about an ex-girlfriend who was angry after they broke up, and complained he was too nice. So, he wrote the song from her point of view, so really Ben is singing about himself! I absolutely love the piano on this one, especially during the bridge! Again, so beautiful.
