To me, Storms is a good song, but it's a little static. It's like her sitting in a window, looking out over a cloudy day, thinking about a relationship went bad and how she will move on. And believe me, more than once in the lower parts of my life, I have found myself singing "Every night that goes between/ I feel a little less".
HOWEVER...
IKINW describes a person in conflict. He thinks/knows it's over, but he looks at her and comments "her eyes look sad" which is only something you say if you still have empathy for that person. And the "please be strong/ I know I'm not wrong" always made me think he was saying "our relationship is worth holding on to, I know it, be strong!" So he's wrestling with it being over and still wanting it. With letting go, and with hanging on.
IKINW is conflict, while Storms is static resignation. And conflict is more interesting that static from an objective point of view, right Strand?
I mean who could argue that from an objective point of view?
