| i recently saw Duvall in concert and Josh Caterer played this song acoustic at the end of their set. In my opinion this song is the greatest song the popes did before Destination Failure...and ultimately it still is one of the greatest songs every performed by anyone! | |

| This song is honestly one of the best songs I have ever heard. I regret not being able to see these guys live, because I heard they were amazing. I grew up on this songs lyrics and I will continue to love this song until God knows when. | |

| I will agree with you on what you said. I do think that this might just be some of the best lyrics by this band, and a favorite of mine. Not to mention, so many bands cover this song, like Amazing Transparent Man, but no one can sing it quite like them. | |
