song
laut.de brought this song in the review of the album as an example that Amy Macdonald would often slide her voice in higher registers into shrill tones and described it as "melodramatic". As it wrote, Amy Macdonald imagined Brandon Flowers , the singer from The Killers, singing the song.
Music video
In the video, she waits by the roadside in a deserted area, then runs through the forest, pats a horse and stands by the campfire at night.
