This single is possibly the best thing he's done so far. Going all confessional, there's a touch of Jarvis Cocker (circa Something Changed) - John Lennon even - about the poignant lyrics. Take, for example: "I was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life/ Always hoped you'd be my wife/ But I never found the time for the question to arrive/ I just disguised it in a song". Only those with hearts of stone could remain dry-eyed throughout the whole song.

A tantalizing taste of what's to come in the next album, this single is worth getting hold of just to hear the live version recorded this year at Glastonbury, which features a rather endearing (but ultimately failed) attempt at whistling the refrain. Oh, and apparently this single's being deleted after one day - don't leave it too late.
