I just don't know what to make of it. I know I like it but I don't know whether it's any good.
I'm not sure it's poignant, but I also don't think it's either saccharine and insubstantial. It IS a beautiful pop song, and it is possibly the best moment on that record.

"Behind The Mask" is the album that could have been.
