(7, 6, 7 [upgraded to a 9.6])

[Good, though Im still not entirely sure how I feel about it.]

Having listened to it five times in a row in search of something to say here [EDIT: Eight times by the time I'm finished as I have this playing on an infinite loop], I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I also don't really get other people's thoughts on the track; one review of the album lists this song as the one spot of brightness on an otherwise dark album.

I'm trying to hear that, but I just can't. This feels like one of, if not the, bleakest song on this entire list. The outro is literally "Finding a way to die alone" being repeated over and over as the song slowly fades to nothingness. Not that I have anything against that, I just can't even remotely begin to fathom how someone can listen to this and think it is a happy song.

Putting that aside, I was a bit surprised to see this band pop up on the nomination list. I know I looked into them at the end of the last topic, but wasn't immediately drawn to them for...whatever reason. Listening to some other songs from this album, I'm going to guess they were too metal for my tastes? This is certainly a more subdued song and it works better for me than the other songs I sampled from the album and whatever I listened to last year, so that was a nice surprise.

Great voice, very good band, good name for a song though I don't feel anything dissociative about it. But I'm still unsure how much I like it? That outro might be a bit much...

[Final Thoughts: Well as many times as this got moved up, I'd say the answer is "I like this a lot". Glad we cleared that up.]
