This is a very diverse set. At times it comes into a melodic rock sound. At other points it lands more in the raw, hard edged indie rock territory. It even gets into some hip hop. The thing is, the combination of sounds works and this actually feels cohesive and coherent. It’s a little left of center and probably not for everyone, but it’s quite good.

There is a real modern pop rock vibe to this tune. It’s the most mainstream and accessible song on the disc. The Dire Straits element is definitely present here. This song seems to be about wealth inequality and about how people are always hoping to find themselves in a better place.
