It has too many similarities with "Birthday Boy".
they could pick worse things to be similiar to

It strangely reminds me of Teardrops by Massive Attack for the first couple of seconds then the production and feel overall wouldn't sound amiss on ELO's 'Time' album, quite spacey but bleak.

It's a haunting and beautiful track. It's more like the good looking sister of Birthday Boy, albeit it, a twisted one, with some issues. Lovely stuff.

The intro is a slowed down version of the intro to Pioneer Skies by The Chemical Brothers.

Well that isn't the full intro, there is some missing.
You don't have to be beautiful, but it helps!

Not a bad song at all. A bit like some of the Release tracks and also Hit & Miss. But it has a nice atmosphere about it.

I like it, and am falling for it more with every listen. The chord changes and mood are vaguely reminiscent of late-period REM (e.g. something off "Up"). It's very moody, very beautiful, and the melody has definitely stuck in my head. Why are people saying it doesn't have a chorus, by the way - surely the chorus is the "Thunder, wonder" section?
