Default These Open Arms - HAND

What do you think now about this song, few years after? I just admire it now, maybe its just me, but I kinda think that this song didnt get the atention it deserves after it came out!

Always liked it, but it would be a tonne better if it had a guitar solo in it.

I remember loving it when I first heard it.
But the last time it popped on my playlist was a while ago, and I remember skipping it when it did.

I really, really like it -

"What if everyone you ever loved was torn from the pages of your life, would you reach out for tomorrow or try to turn back time?"

One of my favourite lines ever. It gave me one of those "0o0o0o0o0o0o" feelings when I first heard it.
