If you've ever thought of Keane as a touch over-complicated for your taste, or that the Backstreet Boys were just a little too edgy for you, then you are in for a real treat. This is boy-band quality indie at its most stupefying level, driven by mundane piano riffs, glossed with an indeterminate dancey backing and topped with pseudo-sensual, overly produced vocals. The quality of the track is made worse by that of the lyrics − “Left with nothing/This sorrow goes on/A broken arrow has pierced through my skin/It's time to give in...” very complex rhyming structure as you can see − which are at the standard of a class of five-year-olds brainstorming new Hallmark clichés. It is a disservice to Coldplay to say that they sound a bit like them and, though I've never heard anything by The Jonas Brothers, I imagine this is exactly what they sound like.
