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)

My second best track on this album.
I really like this song but it does have a feel about Crowded House in the verse. I quite like Crowded House, just didn't expect them to turn up here though. Defo not Crowded House in the chorus mind.
Another one of the non-single tracks that are my favorites from this album (Are We the Waiting, this and Whatsername). Just a beautiful track :)

Could be the best song of all time. Perfect melody just like on every song that Billie Joe Armstrong ever wrote. Shakes me to this day.
