Dear Nic,
This is so good. The band are great. I love the slow crawl of the song, the backing vocals coming in half way, and everything kicking in at 3:15. Genuinely thrilling.
And Tyler’s writing is something else.
‘The wolf who wins?
The one you feed’
— is about as smart and as true as something can be, and the final verse
‘Playing on my heartstrings
You never pour your picky jealousy
Onto my growing love for you
Help me beat my way to you’
— is as good as it gets. That last line!
‘Help me beat my way to you’
Wow!
Love, Nick
