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)

Poor man's "Closer to Home", but still has its own charm and it's a solid song.
The lyrics on the first part of the song are very childish and cringy, a very obvious problem on Mark's songwriting that manifests in about a dozen GFR songs including this one.
I really like the guitar work present here and Mark's vocals are just perfect, probably his best voice work. Never been quite able to love the orchestra ending, I don't think it fits the song very well but it could be worse. (Edited)
