This song is one of those songs you just can not get out of your head. The melody and instrumentation is truly memorable but, what makes this sure fire hit is Adam Lambert's amazing voice. He take us from plaintive notes of loss up to the inspiring heights of triumph. His voice soars above the orchestra and is truly unforgettable.

The song itself is what it is: a somewhat overwrought song designed to play over the ending credits of a disaster movie about the end of the world. What makes it spectacular isn't the song, it's Adam Lambert's voice. This guy has a rare, rare talent. Love the parts where he's singing his own backup track..and the note he hits on "time" is otherworldly.

This beautiful song was co-written by Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider who were partners and in love for many years. They wrote this while she was struggling with cancer, which was a battle she lost in July of 2008. The words take on a whole new meaning when you realize the back story to the song. Adam does an amazing job as always - you can feel the pain/sadness in his voice. Such talent!!!

Adam Lambert is completely splendid. Whoever mixed the tracks shouldn't be allowed to be around professional audio equipment without some further training.

His vocal range and power is unbelieveable. Can not wait to see him skyrocket to stardom!!!

It saddens me to have to agree that the instrumentation and mixing on this piece leaves a lot to be desired because I had such high expectations, which it does not fulfill. I wish the vocals were cleaner and less muddy because it's Adam's voice I want to hear, not an orchestra. Nevertheless, Adam's matchless voice is so incredible it overcomes and overpowers whatever faults of the score or production. The lyrics have a profound, personal meaning for me, and to hear them sung with Adam's ineffably beautiful, soaring, flawless voice is incredibly moving. Adam is truly gifted way beyond the norm. His is a once in a generation talent and we are so fortunate to be able to experience it. I will play this over and over again, and look forward to much, much more music from this extraordinarily talented man.

A disclaimer: I am not a sap. I do not cry at weddings and I don't well up during sentimental commercials. But this song gets to me on a number of levels. Sure, it's a big budget disaster movie super sized ballad, but I think the ultimate message of the song is really powerful. If you look past the romantic longing implied in the first two minutes or so, the real message of this song is hope. The lyric "'Cause I ain't giving up on us" in context with the subject of the film drives home the point that there while there is a lot that is screwed up with this world, maybe if none of us gives up, things can get better. And that single sentiment is what caused me to well up in my car on the way to work this morning when I heard the song.

Secondly, the vocals are freaking unreal. There is no doubt that Adam Lambert is truly vocally gifted and can hit notes that few men in contemporary music can. The song is delivered with equal parts passion and finesse and I would love to see this performed live with a full orchestra.

Adam Lambert soars and wrings you out with this song. It's a must buy. Grade A++++++. That being said, I give the producer a D. This is no Titanic type quality production, it's sloppy and not thoughtful. They should have let Adam arrange it. He has a better ear and creative mind.

I was fan of Adam Lambert as he sailed through to final two on American Idol. He is very unique and talented, and this song proves just that. It is a song that you have to listen to over and over. You can't get enough of it. Even though it's a new song, it has sort of an '80's feel to it which makes it even better. Any fan of Rock, Adam, or Good Music in general would love this new single.

He sings with so much conviction, he is a true artist,cant wait to hear more from him, I love Adam!!!!
