I brought this poll forward from tomorrow because I think it'll get quite a few ticks.*

*and because I didn't want to harangue you with only game-based posts today.

blimey, rocking the genuine vote there.

it is soppy, but in a good way. i.e. what you say viz it's a sentiment of "lean on me" strength but expressed in a new and pleasing way. and the melody is lovely.

what's not to like.

it's not the greatest song ever, and her vocal is a bit bored sounding. but that's not nec a bad thing

I like the way the song grinds - it's got quite a cold, hard, military sound to it that sits interestingly with the tender feelings.

"i'll be all you need and mooOOOOOOOOORRREEEE" = not bored-sounding in the slightest

That is the best bit of the song, with the strings suddenly going "bam Bam BAM!"
