Embrace's return album featured an inspired amount of songcraft both sonic and lyric, and the track 'Refugees' captures the feel and message of the entire album perfectly. The entire track is a plaintive progression towards a message of fleeing/escaping ("wishing me gone as I'm running away") just as the entire album does. The best album of 2014 and an impressive achievement for a band that was thought to have peaked a decade earlier.
