I really hate the guest vocals on this song, but the demo is absolutely gorgeous. It just feels so genuine and raw

As much as I love Nicky on the demo, I love the album version too.

I am a fan of Georgia's voice but this one did take a while to warm too, it does sound a little disconnected at times but the vocals/words are lovely.

I don't like it it at all- and it's not even her voice it's just snoozeville. The only decent part is the last 35 seconds.

It's the only song I don't like on Futurology. At first I thought the female singer had a Chinese accent.

Actually, I kind of dislike the beginning, to be honest (the "churchbells" and especially the harp). AND they're doing the "aaaaaaaaahaaaa"-thing AGAIN! You know, that long-drawn-out angelic church choir thing... I don't know how to call or describe it, but maybe you know what I mean. It's just getting a little out of hand for my taste. It's what annoyed me most about TIMTTMY, too. The rest of the song makes up for it though.

Haha, I thought she might be Scandinavian! Reminded me of "lovely" Lena Meyer-Landrut, too (who I can't stand at all!).

I love this track. Futurology is awesome. I think it's my favourite album now (after TIMTTMY of course )

Although this one was love at first sight (or rather, love at first listen), it still amazes me more and more each time. I think it would be a really really touching moment if they played it live, too. Do you think they will? I don't really see it, as I believe the song wouldn't work for James's voice in its entirety, and surely they're not gonna bring along Georgia Ruth Williams to all the dates?

I was ready to dislike this song due to the guest vocal but it's just too beautiful and I love it.

I too don't really see what the guest vocalist brings to this track, especially as James' voice really suits it.
