In my last post I mentioned that I wasn't looking forward to the next two. I respect this song musically and the lyrics are certainly not bad, but they don't do anything for me either. Now that I listen to music on computers and have playlists, I avoid this song entirely. Just between us, the spaces between "Freewill" and "Natural Science" leave

I was waiting for this one, cuz i know it's one of those tunes that you're not wild about but that i love for whatever reason.

I dig it lyrically on a couple of levels. First, i like the overall message of "we don't need to be identical or know each other perfectly to share something cool" -- perhaps apropos given the paragraph above. :) I also like the analogy play -- even tho many of them are stock (books, ships in the night, yada) -- it's fun and evocative.

Guitar-wise, i share your assessment of "competent but not amazing", based mostly on the fact that i can actually play this song. (Honestly, like Rivendell, i think some part of my love for this song also grows further from love of playing it.) However, i see this tune as a model of "competency that works really really well" -- a case where doing the right simple things is really all you need
