Sadly, this means the ex that haunted 21 is still here, like a ghost who won’t go, his gown stuck in the door. "I’ve been by myself all night long / Hoping you’re someone I used to know"... "It matters how this ends" ... "I will leave my heart at the door/I won't say a word/ They've all been said before"...if you were this man, you’d surely be thinking, Christ, 30 million records, universal adulation, love and a kid...it’s time to let it go. Similarly, listening to this album is sometimes like listening to a friend who you’ve helped countless times but who won’t listen, who actually enjoys being in a mess, whose sparkle gets dampened – gets drowned – as a consequence.
