It's a song that doesn't quite fit, but that's rarely a bad thing. Beginning with piano and strings it sounds as though we're in for a classy piece of chamber-pop, and in a way we are, although the emphasis is on the pop aspect. This is a big song where the melody and the vocals take charge, leaving the neatly arranged instruments to provide a supporting role. It chops and changes too, from that grand chorus to a twinkly, almost childlike mid-section before swelling up again for a majestic stab at grabbing your attention without the use of too many studio pyrotechnics. His mission seems to be to bring a touch of culture to pop music. He's succeeded.
