Sometimes those are the best kind of songs.

I think it's a good song, love the build up.

There's actually someone that doesn't like a song from this album

I love this one, too. Don't know why, but it makes me feel good everytime I hear it.

Maybe no real standout on These Days, but IMO it should definitely get more attention!

Has it ever been played live before?

I think where it sits on the album is a little odd, coming directly after Hearts Breaking Even, and the two while not similar sounding exactly - they just seem to run into each other for me.

I prefer Hearts Breaking Even. In fact, I usually skip over If That's What It Takes, but only again because it has a similar feel for me to HBE and I've usually just listened to that.

I do think it's one of the weakest songs on These Days, but again, doesn't mean it's a bad song. Just doesn't stand out as much as the others on what is, frankly, a masterpiece of an album
