This song is GREAT, just love everything about it. And to people who think it's dumb that the first verse is repeated, I personally don't think it's a big deal at all. They did that in Lounge Fly too and that's easily one of the best STP songs
My STP shows: 8/10/2008, 7/19/2009, 10/10/2009, 5/22/2010, 4/26/2011, 4/24/2015   Weiland solo: 1/29/2009, 11/29/2012, 3/13/2015    VR: 8/5/2007

Song has really grown on me and it is quintessential Bowie. It has the potential to be a single- but I think Maver will be the ballad-type single (after Huck C and Fast as I Can- IMO). I doubt they will do two soft singles.

It sounds a little "too much" Bowie, but still, it's a great song and I enjoy it a lot.

I love this song!   :)

It's very "Happy In Galoshes".

A different second verse would have helped this song immensely.

I agree. I like this song a lot but that repetition is no good.

That doesn't bother me too much.  It is still a great song and probably the best on the album.

This song is too beautiful for a single, I'm gonna be selfish and keep it just for us

This song finally grew on me after about 3 or 4 listens.   I really like how Scott sings "solar system free" and the chorus part that follows is great too.

My favorite track so far. It's an absolutely gorgeous song.

I'm liking this song the more I listen to the preview. When they play it live, they should play it before or after I Got You.

 
As much of a beautiful thing that would be, but i doubt either of those songs will see much time in their sets.. Specially I Got You... But that is a good thought right there.

I Got You is just wishful thinking, but I think there's a good chance they'll add FKOM to their set. Hopefully before they add some shows in northern California....

Yeah, but who knows really, with the tenor he has right now. I seen him just the other day in Detroit and he rocked Cinnamon, Dancing Days, Still Remains. All them.. The only thing that makes me doubt FKOM is the layering, especially the use of keys in that song.. yknow? but hey, at the rate theyre heading in, who knows whatll happen when they come back for another american tour in '11.
another old gem id love to see them play live that would fit with the mood of the songs you just mentioned, is Black Again.. SLDD is my favorite record and in the two times ive seen them, ive only heard Hollywood Bitch.. But again, that might be just as farfetched as I Got You.
