Thanks to the reviewer who mentioned this was a free download when you install the amazon software... I was trying to figure out why I had purchased this since I have no recollection of doing so, or ever heard of the artist..

Very generic song, no redeeming qualities for me... Sounds like just about everything else out there...

Has to be free. Not many people would want to buy it. I was suppose to get a free song after I ordered some CD'S. If I knew it was this one I wouldn't have bothered.

This was a freebie from Amazon. I can see why. I can't possibly imagine anyone paying money to listen to this cacophony. It sounds like a screeching merry-go-round grinding under weakly androgynous vocals. This band may have other great songs (I really don't know), but this one is simply awful. I'm sure they're nice people, bless their hearts.

I was checking my MP3 account and noticed this prior entry back in September. I've no idea why it was there, other than what someone else said--you get it by default when installing the Amazon MP3 download plug-in.

Anyway, I listened to it and was... puzzled. Some kind of weird blend of 10,000 Maniacs and Julian Lennon. Needless to say, I think that this band chose the wrong track to be free. If it was one more compelling and interesting, maybe more people would buy their album. I chose not to. Life it too short... plenty of other music to investigate like "Miracles of Modern Science [EP]."

Wow, does Liam Finn ever sound like his dad. I wonder if that's how his voice comes out naturally or if he adopted it from hearing so much Crowded House while growing up.

Regardless, this is a not bad track. It is simplistic, but strong and over before you know it. It's inevitable to compare him to father Neil, so I'll just go ahead and do it: he doesn't quite have the John Lennon touch of dear old dad, but I say who cares. He's still pretty young, so there is room for improvement.

That said, I'm still curious to check out the EP from which this song comes. Let's hear it for free mp3s from Amazon.

Nice moderate tempo song with light, pleasing harmony. Lead singer actually sounds like Julian Lennon. Lead guitar has slightly distorted sound and evokes memories of the late Rob Buck of 10,000 Maniacs. Recommended addition to your Easy Rock/Alternative library.

Like the other reviewers, I was a bit surprised when it says thanks for the order. I was shocked and asked myself how and when did I ordered that? Turns out to be free, but I really disliked the whole experience. Amazon should really give us a choice on whether we want something like this, even if it's free.

I bought an album and went to download it and found this had been downloaded as well. Whether or not it was free, I prefer to only download things I know I'm downloading. Didn't want it, didn't listen to it, and I never will. 1 star was generous, I'd give this terrible business practice a 0 if I could.

This was free so I figured "why the hell not". Now I know "why not". You get what you pay for.

It seems that every time I buy something from Amazon mp3, I have to re-download the Amazon Music Downloader, then it automatically downloads music I have no interest in. Not so much a review of the song - I would never purchase it myself - but a review of the way Amazon is doing business. Why would they do this with absolutely NO explanation? At least iTunes doesn't do this...
