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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 88.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.9.

It´s a good song , but it does really sound too much like Father & son by Cat Stevens. Just because you like the band you can´t deny that.
Gorgeous embellishments and strong vocal performance by Wayne

The containing album is great, but this song is a clear plagiarism (same chords progression) of Father And Son by Cat Stevens.

I like it, immediately I agree with martintho, it is so similar to father and son with exactly the same chord progression and key. But it is different and is a good song in itself
Favourite song by them
One of my favorite songs. It puts me on the verge of crying.
