You have to play the actual show and forward to 1h 54m. I had the same problem when I tried playing the song by itself as well.

First impression RTW > SMTW > BOR

Could all change and quite liked it though

Really like this, didn't think it was them at first! This is good though, they've indulged creatively and it sounds so different for them.... Obviously only heard 3 songs off the album, but am kinda worried that both BOR and RTF sound very moody and melancholic, wondering whether SMTW will musically fit the tone of the album?

First listen - James sounds like Robbie Williams. In fact I wondered who the guest singer was for half the song. Just me?

I really liked it however I can't help thinking the horns at the end sounded very suspiciously like God only knows by the Beach Boys

I don't hear much of a likeness to Robbie Williams, but it does sound like a slightly affected vocal performance particular to the song (especially the verses), kind of like The Love Of Richard Nixon was (not saying they sound similar, but in terms of approaching the song with its own peculiar singing style). I don't know if I'd go far to say it's almost 'in character', but something like that.
