The harmonies and the moment all the lads join in on the chorus, I was amazed by how incredible it sounded. The chorus features some the most beautiful lyrics and I caught myself singing along despite not knowing the lyrics. The second verse continues the story within the lyrics wonderfully and the boys harmonies are just insane. I can't wait to hear this song live at C2C. The lyrics within the bridge are the most catchiest and the instrumental near the end of the song is just the perfect break down.
