Solo reminds me of Reigns Over Me. Beautiful tune, I hope he plays this during his tour.

Them lyrics are on point.

The Reigns Over Me comparison is one I made, too. The fact I’m comparing this song to that just shows how much of a masterpiece I think it is.

100% agree. I dont want recency bias to dictate what I think of this song too much, but it made a pretty big impact initially so as of right now this is one of my favorite Myles related songs. We’ll see how it stands the test of time

God damn, you can hear some amazing vocals in the solo but they are SO FUCKING BURIED IN THE MIX, I wish I didn't noticed...

Fuck the recency bias, Austin. This just made the last 8 or so years wait worth it!

Dude, I know it! I thought it was guitar in the background then I realized it was his vocals soaring. Getting a Reigns Over Me vibe too, absolutely beautiful song. I’m going to see him in Dundee on May 25th, I would love to hear this live.

So 3 demo acoustic bonus tracks at Best Buy, 6 in the Napalm wooden box package. The remaining 3 on the Japanese 15 track cd ? Anybody knows ?

Lap steel solo I think?

I love this song.
For all of the hope that it brings...

I’m pissed about the wooden box package a bit because I bought the autographed cd + Love Can Only Heal T-shirt back in November. I didn’t want to miss out but I’ve been watching as all these new, cooler bundles have been announced and I’m just thinking “WELL, SUMBITCH!”

Stunning song. Beautifully put together and layered. So many thoughts and feelings after the first listen.

It fits really well with the rest of the songs so far. I was wondering how that was going to work out, but no problem there. Could've done without those echoes, but oh well.

Well, it's the first song from the album that sounds musically interesting. It has Myles'es signature melodic feel and it's not that straightforward as previously released songs. I wasn't touched by it, but I can understand why people like it (which I can't say about other songs from YotT).

Wonderful song. The opening few seconds kind of reminds of the opening to this...

Absolutely stunning song, it built....and built...and built perfectly. I was hoping for one last big soaring chorus out of the solo, but that’s just the arena rock fanboy coming out. Definitely the best song put out so far :D

Do we have a confirmed meaning behind this song? My first interpretation is it’s written from the perspective of Myles’ father talking to him, which is beautiful. Could be wrong, could have already been said in an interview, I have no clue

Kind of bummed I didnt jump at any of those bundles sooner. Is what is on Napalm really the only one left?

Jesus I must be crazy. I think I like this even less than the title track after the first listen.

I'm pretty sure this song is about the perspective of her mother meeting his new husband, I mean with all those lyrics about not being afraid about loving and feeling again, cause love can only heal, or maybe this song has nothing to do with the concept of the album and it's just Myles talking about personal experiences, you know, a lot of his songs in the MF4 era were about break ups, this is like getting over that meeting her wife.

IDK maybe is about her dog

I think he means love as a virtue. Like human kindness and compassion. He's talking about being broken, being empty inside, about trading dark for light, being afraid to feel. It all sounds a lot like depression to me. Romantic love on its own can't heal that.

Could be from his mother's point of view, but then again, he wrote this song 8 years ago. Long before he meant to write about his father's death. I think he's singing about himself.
