this is such a beautiful song from james. in an interview, the singer tim booth told a story about how some fans used this song to maintain the strength they needed to escape from their christian fundamentalist cult family. the line, "i no longer feel my god is watching over me" was what kept these kids going, ending in the son punching the father in the face as the daughter escaped out the window.

so good
