How's it different?  It's ABACA petering out into a coda with a typical fade out.  No new striking harmonies, no new striking instrumentation, usual crap diction so you have to strain for the words.

Why do you love it?  Is it an anthem for tolerance?  Is that it?

Morn, you have such "wicked" taste!


laaaaaaame...

But I get it with the feel good lyrics and all. "It don't matter" eh? Sounds like "Always look on the bright side of life" and "Don't worry, be happy."

My gratitude for the past few days, listen to this (hope you don't mind rap and foreign language - just follow the subs):
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea,
I'm burning like a bridge for your body

No, no, no, NO. Not what I meant when I said it was different, should have been clearer. Apologies. I didn't analyze it I just listened so I don't care what the form is. It's different to people who live in Australia because it's not what's on the radio or whatever. And I don't know what it is, I just like it. Sounds happy.

Yeah maybe that's something to do with it. I don't know that many songs that make people feel good anymore-not the way this one does anyway.
I assume you meant trying to help? No worries...
Ugh. Rap. But OK.
