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 is rated in the top 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.0/100, a mean average of 81.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.9.

An overlooked track that has some nice vocal touches. More mellow than the opener.
Quite a pretty song that continues the trend of And Then There Were Three having a poppier feel than previous records. I think the lyrics are probably a little too mystical for a song with such a poppy feel, but they do paint some really nice imagery. Banks' electric grand piano provides a nice sense of wonder to the song, which has been interpreted as about making the most of your life since you don't know what tomorrow will bring. I don't like it quite as much as the booming opener Down and Out, but it does have its moments of bliss, especially in the choruses.
