Ok, I gave the song a few good listenings and i've come to the conclusion that its not a masterpiece, but it could have been. Lyrically, its a bit weak. Polar bears wanting to take you home and all,,,,,whatever. I didnt dig the double tracked backing vocals with the effects either. I would have liked that to come across a little cleaner. Musically its really good,,,,not great, but good. Paul seemed to use the song as a guinea pig for some reason (I know he's done this before too). He uses strings in one part, a french horn in another, etc,,,. I would have rather had him use one instrument primarily and have the song a bit more structured instead of using one here and then a different one for the same part later.
Again, I really like this song and feel that its not the customary album fodder. Many artists would be proud to have a song this good. Waterfalls again, is definately the best song on this rather horrible effort. One of These Days is a decent song and after that,,,,,I think the rest of the album tanks. But,,,I have to agree with Maria. Its not a bore, but not a masterpiece either.
I'm sure Paul knows better than I, but if I had to critique this song, I was as honest as I know how to be.
