Definitely on Billdude's side here

Definitely the best cut on "Rainbows" and among their better songs in general. As usual, your in intolerance re: repetition is causing you to miss out on a beautiful piece of music. The song's essentially a groove (imagine Can playing it- I sure as #### can) but the melody is gorgeous, simple though it may be. One of their more hymn like pieces and Thom really nails the vocal. It's beautiful- one of their most genuinely moving songs along with "How To Disappear" IMO.
