I've always thought lyrics like these and many others should be taught as poetry in schools . So perfect.

Singularly the best song they’ve released. <br>And they’ve released so, so, SO, many good songs. <br>I’m a huge elbow fan, but once I heard this song, it was untouchable for me on their back catalogue. <br>A pure triumph.

One of the best songs ever written, if you ask me. Arr is super. <br>During a long life I have concluded a list of less than 10 musical jewels from the classical world that contains music harmonies most beautiful. Often short parts in a symphony or opera. Among these Tchaikovsky, Mascagni, Albinoni, Sibelius and a few others.<br>This song with the beautiful brass section is extraordinary. The 26 seconds of brass solo <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzcusdlsbXQ&t=250">4:10</a> into the 6 minutes versions now joins the above mentioned classical jewels. Gets a tear or two in my eyes every time I listen.
