This song is one of those songs which tend to grow on you, little by little. On the first few listens I wan't really impressed with it, but the more I hear it, the more I like it.
Musically it's very Steinmanesque, with a big theatrical feel. Beautiful featured vocals by Patti, and 'classic' backing vocals (high pitched male vocals). And I really like the "Just say nothing / don't say a word / silence is gold / don't say a word" break halfway.... and the way it builds up after that.
This song is deffiniatly one of the better songs on the album, and a title track then "Testify" would have been.
8.5/10
