What surprises me is that a) it's still effective/affecting, b) I'm still noticing new things about it, like the strange resemblance to the BBC News theme in the blips under the chorus.
It sounded so incredibly wintry when I first heard it (and still does) that I'm really surprised, in a lot of ways, that it made it as a summer number one. I suppose it probably depends when you first hear it innit.
I didn't like it at first because I was hoping for bosh and was disappointed. Then I just happened to watch the newer (better) video whilst in a soppy mood - it totally knocked me for six.
and now for an alternative opinion from someone on the official radio 1 chart message board (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbradio1/F2675884?thread=4466277):
Robyn for number one today!
Message 1 - posted by Ghosthunter233 I really hope Robyn gets the number one spot today. If she does it'll be the first truly worthy number one since Evanescence's Bring Me To Life.
It would signify the end of 4 years of sub-standard number ones...
