This song (and band) has a very indie-rock style to it with a variety of orchestral innstruments (i.e. trumpet, violin). When I went to see the band at the beginning of October, one of the singers, Torquil Campbell, said that "this song is dedicated to the person you hate the most." Of course, he was referring to one's ex-lover. This song got me through lots of hard times with relationships.
The verses are powerful, especially the first. What is most empowering was the fact that in the message that you don't regret anything but you move on and don't look back.
The atmosphere this song gives is unexplainable (as most songs, we can't explain why or what makes us feel the way we do). I feel empowered and powerful. I can hold my head up high and be on top of the world.
At least once a day, I HAVE to listen to this song. It's not even about the relationship advice or the content/narrative of the song. It's the MUSIC part and the way it makes me feel. As I've said in my Counter-Dictionary, it's the mood/atmosphere that drives me to listen to music. Lyrics and narratives are secondary but helpful and by no means overlooked.
