Nup. Does nothing for me. I don't get why forum members rave about it.

Well, I like it. Not in their top 25, but it's a damned good song.
What don't you like about it? Just curious...

As a b-side it's ok, and I like the classic jingly Edge guitar, but it just kind of rambles.

Like it, but don’t love it. It definitely is better than about half the songs that made the album though.

Well it's not desperate MOR pop rock hoping the kids will like it ala The Best Thing....

It's not lunpen turgid shite ala American Soul...

I also believe it is one of the songs from that period that Tedder had fuck all to do with.

Hence it being left off the album proper.

Up to the bridge, I find it disjointed and hard to listen to, after that, it's pretty good.  Doesn't move me to want to listen to it again.
