"God knows what is hidden in those weak and sunken eyes,

A fiery throng of muted angels giving love and getting nothing back"

There is always room for a big-hearted ballad, and in 2007 it didn't come much bigger. Yes, he has a slightly cliched, Lancashire nasal-whine, and that might put you off at the start. But stick with it, it is worth it for the chorus.

Lush and anthemic, this song gets better everytime I hear it, and it does tug at the proverbial heart-strings (what does that mean, by the way?).
