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 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

A very sweet and charming song with poppy feels, pulled off better than Many Too Many, in my opinion. The lyrics about a drunk bar regular confiding in the bar's piano player, Joe, is very touching, and the keyboard overdubs the sprinkle throughout the tender verses are a nice touch. The transitions between the soft, acoustic verses and loud, synth-heavy choruses are a bit stark, but both parts of the song are enjoyable to listen to. Some might argue it's a little too bare-bones, and the ending kind of comes out of nowhere after this big flourishing chorus, but I don't think that harms the feel of the song too badly. I'll give it an 80, though its probably the closest of the "80" songs to an 85.
