For whatever reason, when I first got Dear Agony, a few days before it was officially released, I completely neglected to listen to this particular song. I've no idea whatever why I chose to do this, as I recall listening to the preview of the song on Amazon, and liking it. But I did. Today, I was quite bored, and decided to listen to this track for no other reason than that it was the only track I had not really looked at on the album. That was an hour ago. I have been listening to it for almost an hour straight since then, save for a few minutes when I tried looking up a live performance on Youtube, to see if it sounded as good live as it did in studio. It started out fine. Then, Ben started singing, and a part of me shrivelled up and died inside. I don't know why, but he just does not sound good at all live, and that performance temporarily killed my liking for the song. However, I've no doubt that in a few hours, I will begin to like it again, for it truly is quite a masterpiece, if you just don't think about the fact that the singer sounds like a cawing chicken in the live version.
