The vocals and guitar work on the last verse are in my top 5 DT moments of all time. One of JLBs best studio performances.

Songs like "Surrounded" and "Far from heaven" really have that raw emotion that just stays with you long after the song is over. Like many other fans, I came for the face-melting and left with tear-streaming! I didn't know I had all these emotions to let out! no fair!

now I've only habits left to break...



Nice sentiment Dude! I feel exactly the same way. But I guess this is why some absolutely hate DT. Too sentimental at times. But I like it!

Almost any DT song can be the besr song everso much weighy and meaning lyrically, and so rich and deep sonically. Yes, Surrounded is amazing. I love the live version on the Chaos in Motion tour, JP's extended guitar solo is the most gorgeous guitar solo I've ever heard.
