Double post, so apologies. I was just thinking 'how great would an acapella version of this song be?' Any way of making this happen?

I feel like this song has low odds to ever be brought back...But I would loveeee it if it was played live again.

I think this is up there in one of my all time favourite Ev moments. It just transitions so well into WOTW too (which is an Ev live mainstay). Even if these were the only two T.O.D. songs they played in a live performance I'd still take these two back to back any day.

I was just listening to this one a few moments ago and I was just thinking how 'fresh' it still sounds. I am guessing is due to the electronic bits in it. I am SO looking forward to a song like this (maybe a couple ). It has great guitar work on it and I'd love to add Will's beastly drumming.

I've been revisiting this song a lot since the new album came out. After all this time, I can say with some certainty this is my favourite Ev song, hands down. So many elements, the sound design is gorgeous, Amy explores a huge range of her voice, there are backing vocals for days, it moves seemlessly through the full range of their music (it's rocky, it's trip-hoppy, it's mournful, it's sinister....all the good stuff). God, I wish there was more stuff like this.

I loved that the band brought it up in the new tour since 2007!
I always took this song as being about a breakup or a hook up with some guy who has a girlfriend/wife, and Amy being the other one, especially the second verse when she sings, "if we play very quiet, my lamb, Mary never has to know". It seems as though this guy is cheating on his girl/wife, and Amy is aware of that but ok with it, i.e. "Mary never has to know" and "You don't remember my name, I don't really care."
On the other hand, said verse may be just a play on words with nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

I guess we're supposed to "not look too into it" but I personally always think of this myself while playing it And I so much loveee that they included it on this tour!
