Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

I prefer the rough mix without strings but it's decent enough and safe.
The opening verse starts off slow, then builds up into something that sounds like it could be great... and it kind of falls flat. Gabriel's delivery also sounds unconvincing at most points. A lot of missed potential on this one. As it stands, one of the worst from the first album. Not a bad song though. Most points here come from the beautiful violin work in the background of the choruses.
