This song does something to me that no other song ever has

[@jessicasamson7271]

I could not have said it better.

[@sam_g5o]

exactly how I feel

[@orcasin112]

IKR? Heard it for the first time yesterday and can't get it out of my head. Imagine what it must've been like to write it?

[@lukewilliams2573]

Girl is a wonder

[@8MoonsOfJupiter]

The recorded version of this song is such an epic, soaring wall of sound that I was unsure if that could be reproduced in a live situation, but with Angel's extraordinarily emotive voice and such a talented group of musicians, I needn't have worried - live, this made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every bit as much as the recorded version still does every time I listen to it. A true masterpiece.

I came here to say what you said, but you already said it perfectly. This song is an iconic work.

[@mrcharming5053]

Gosh knows how KEXP do it but they have the best recording sound in the World

[@MisterErts]

I just they didn't focus on the drummer during the vocal high point of the songs. And don't keep switching cameras every five seconds.

[@ashleyohohoh]

Teary eyed. Those powerful instrumentals and words at the end get me.

Lyrics: To forget you is to hide, there's still so much left to recover If only we could start again, pretending we don't know each other I could not come back the same, this city's changed It's not what it was back when you loved me Walking down that path we made when we thought What we had was such a good thing Hiding out inside my head, it's me again, it's no surprise I'm on my own now Every time I turn to you, I see the past It's all that lasts and all I know how Learn to look me in the eyes Yet I still don't feel it's me you're facing Say your heart is always mine, what about old times, you can't erase them Wishing we could only find one another All we've done here is blind one another Hate can't live in this heart here forever Have to learn how to make it together The way you scream like something else as a man The way you scream like something else as a man The way you scream like something else as a man Baby, I was there and I held him, I was there and he put it all on me Baby, I was there and I held him, right there where no one else could see Took me into his arms, told me that I was the reason Told me that I was the woman he'd always be losing, always be dreaming Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on Dream on, dream on Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on Dream on, dream on Dream on You say you love every single part What about my dreams? What about the heart? Trouble from the start Trouble with the heart Ah, trouble with the heart

[@Gabriel-er6cm]

Could someone explain me what “the way you scream like something else AS A MAN” means?

[@_LeThiNgocPhuong]

This song always make me shiver at the end. The emotions are too much...
