The simplest pop song could be amazing to certain person, and the same person could hate the most terrific arrangement. That is why people disagree with you so often

walking proud is a master piece though! XD
Yeah that is my tendency because that is where my values lie. I was thinking about that recently; your judgement and perception is always a reflection of your values (or rather, derived from them). Attention to detail, having to make a plethora of decisions that somehow all end up working just perfectly together in the end - that's something I have an immense amount of respect for. I always end up thinking about how many different variables are at play in the track, and marveling at the way in which they all just came together like that. But I also think mood, personality and overall sound is all a part of that as well - all of which I think are on par with the production in walking proud. The lyrics of course too, but for me lyrics are the least important part of the puzzle.

Also in this context, it was mentioned that the user was looking forward to the acoustic version, which means the only variable changing in the song would be the arrangement and production - so it makes sense to comment from that angle.
