I see what you mean about wishing it was longer, seeing as it's so awesome, but I really have no problem with the length.
Beautiful piano intro (and outro!). MP and JP don't seem to get too much credit for good back-up vocals, but I think they do a really good job on this album, and this song. "Faaaaade awaaaayyyyy".
Nice and tasty guitar solo, doesn't seem to get much praise, JM lays down a really sick bassline under the solo as well.
My favorite part has to be "An open door, I walk on through...". That part never fails to give me goosebumps.
Awesome song, probably my second favorite on SFAM, behind Beyond This Life.
