I've listened to it a few more times in the car now, it's growing on me a bit, but I'm not sure it's really "lead track" material in the same way that "Heaven or Hell" wasn't the right track to come back with after the first line-up change. But maybe I'm wrong.

I can't find the post to quote it, but whoever said earlier that there are hints of "Instead of this" in it was right.

Have listened to this at least 20 times and it still stands up. The song never telegraphs what’s next. It resembles a path of twists and turns, which each new revelation a total delight. Everything about this is terrific except for a few tiny quibbles about the lyrics.

Agreed with the twist and turns and overall construction too,nice guitar intro parts and lead sound too from baz with prefect percussion.Well thought out lyrics from JJ with the song building up to great harmonising between the two of them on the see you at the bar bit. In parts its clear to hear the emotion in his voice which is more than understandable it makes this tribute song mean that much more as it couldnt of been any easy song to write and record,but they did it and very well too.

Yes the plan was to commission at least a couple of videos without the band appearing directly in them

A bit dubious at first but it's really become a brain worm.
I don't think it's very radio friendly and won't make the hit parade but who gives a fuck.
Without googling anyone knows whats no 1 this week. Exactly!

In theory, yes, but it will take an awful lot of downloads these days.
