"That one, was alright"
You know how it is. You're exercising your imagination by making shapes from the passing clouds while you patiently wait out another Editors Absence, (which you shouldn't confuse with an Editors Abscess which is far more icky and painful), and all of a sudden the inactivity is halted by...this. Taken from The Weight of Your Love album, which some history buffs will suggest was Editors' very own begotten son, this is Tom providing an unexpected end to a seemingly interminable drought. I say this with the respect that its author deserves, and I really do mean that, but purely in terms of Editors fandom this is the purity of product that Smith and Burrows only partially delivers.
Maybe Tom choosing to randomly play this and put it out into the ether speaks to his current mainstream-pop disposition that the "Smith and Burrows Therapy Sessions" have allowed him to occupy? Editors have a catalogue of more predictable targets that he could have chosen but he tackles one of their most tricky, falsetto-heavy commercially minded ones instead.
It's a grand proclamation, but I think this is the best version of the song that we have with regards to its simplicity and delivery. It carries on the lineage of pretty much all of Editors' music, in that transforms into something else when it leaves the studio. There's an mp3 of the song over at the Archive using the address below, enjoy the music.

I love TWOYL, don't matter how criticised it may be. This song it's absolutely beautiful, has a power within it that it's unexplainable, at least to me. I know, it's a little pop and all, but it's very good and the instrumental it's perfection. And of course, Tom's voice. When I heard this for the first time I realise how versatile his voice can be, how he can impressive me and caught me by surprise still. Its amazing, I loved it. And again, thank you very much, Lemming!

The Weight of Your Love has so much feeling in every song but this one especially. I remember buying the album in '13 and getting a free poster at a local record shop I still have the poster framed and will take it with me to wherever I move for the rest of my life because the artwork is so beautiful and the album means so much to me ♥

Wow when I first clicked play on instagram this was like the last song I expected, thought it was going to be another SnB song if anything. I guess Tom is always surprising(in a great way), wonder what made him randomly pick this one..? I hope he does more songs like this :)
