I agree...at first listen, it seems more like a Richard Ashcroft solo joint than a whole band effort...but it IS rather catchy, and that repeating background vocal totally makes the song. Still, for a first single, especially a comeback single, I would've went with a full-on rocker, although the band did give us the great "Mover" for free. I think the song is about how music can open our eyes and perceptions to stop being so close-minded of the world around us.
