I think this is my favourite Devin Townsend song... on this album
And that speaks volumes.

IT'S JUST MEEEEEEAAAWOOOOOAHHH
For me, it's a fight between Deadhead and Depth Charge. Although, I'm really starting to think that something could be better than both these songs. And here be the contender.



And now I'm going to say why I think it's a great song, possibly the best song he's ever written;

It's a ballad, but a ballad done right. A song you could have at your wedding for a first dance with the bride and groom but still maintaining the Devin sound, not to mention that it's completely drug free (like all of his post-SYL music.)

The solo isn't wanky but still quick, it adds to the song to give it a more unspoken depth of emotion and just sits on the background music perfectly. And during the singing near the end, the barely audible solo layered underneath just near brings a tear to your eye, but yeah, a real ballad.
