Hi, sorry if there is a similar topic with this song

Anyway, this song gets alot of criticism. I can't see why, I really like it. It's quite upbeat and it's a good song live. It's my favourite off HAND

Do you like it?

it's ok. certainly not my favorite from HAND--I skip it about half the time. It was really fun to hear live in Atlanta, though--quite a surprise.

I don't. It's one of the weaker tracks in HAND. But it's better than Wildflower, Welcome To Wherever You Are and Bells Of Freedom.

I like bits of it (mainly the "Is there anybody out there just like me?" bits), and I can kind of relate to the sentiment, but I dunno, in general it's not got much going for it. It's really just another It's My Life clone. I used to like it a lot when the album first came out, but it's grown off me a lot. It's also not at all inspiring live, I think I could do without seeing it ever again

Was a killer song when I was 16. It's not killer now, but I still like it.

Then again I'll defend HAND til the day I die.

MAMA KEEP ON PRAAAAYIIIIIIIIIIINNN' COZ I AIN'T CHAAAAANGGIIIIIINN'...

I don't think it would add anything live though.

it's a big fun song, hard not to like imo. only criticism is it's a little too similar to many of the post 2000 tracks.
