And also very similar to 'Searching For The Face Of Jesus'.

We need to start replacing "Jesus" with "cheeses" in PSB song titles...

As a big cheese enthusiast, I'm still waiting for that particular musical. Come on lads, give the people what they want....

Yes, but haven't quite worked out how yet.

Someone compared this to King of Rome and tbh they're bang on for the exact same reason.
The length works in its favour, allowing it to fully breathe. The one that drags on and on is Through you, the worst B side of the decade.
i like longer songs, and full versions.

you can simply skip the intro, and fade out the ending to make more of an edit out of it.

later

Thank you! I wouldn't say the worst, but I've never understood the glorification and praise "Through you" gets.
