Lovely song but such a strange comeback single. They've been away such a long time that their voices really seem to have deepened! In comparison to Speechless and In Another Life there's such a husk to their voices!

I finally got the stream to work! (albeit with stutters, a lot of them)

 

It's very pretty, I wanted something electronic but this will tide me over for bigger and better things!

I don't think it's awful. It's quite lovely for me. Maybe because I love those theatrical/Opera type balladeer songs like "Jar of Hearts" but yeah maybe not best to lead their new album. I've only really liked 4Ever by them though :P

Now you're using Spotify listen to both 'Revenge Is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were)' and 'Someone Wake Me Up'! Both highlights for me.

 

Not had chance to listen to this song yet but I love 'Lolita' so I'm looking forward to hearing this despite it being nothing like their usual stuff apparently! :o

I don't think it's a wildly unexpected song from a band who gave us Speechless and In Another Life, it certainly feels like a more mature successor to those two. It's the fact that it's a lead single that's the odd part.

This is #2 on iTunes Australia less than an hour after release (but from 2 weeks on pre-order of course), really amazing to see!

Hopefully it will chart higher than 'Lolita' then (#23)!

Wow that is great, it'll likely be front loaded and fall soon becsuse of the pre-orders but that's still pretty much higher than I expected :lol:

 

Great little song, but even better is that the release reminded me of the incredible Lolita <3 that really should have done better.

This is out in the UK in two hours according to iTunes! *.* Well I'll buy it at least...along with Missy Higgins' album and Delta's single earlier in the week. Aussie rules!

#568 smash beckons!

#1 now!

That's amazing...wow, so the Aussie public wanted a Veronicas ballad single all along!?! :lol:

I'm pretty made up for them! I hope it doesn't just slump hugely in the next few days.

So happy to see this generating success, I always knew The Veronicas would come back and they would be big again! Excited to buy it tomorrow.

Le video:

 

I still haven't listened to this

I'll get round to it tomorrow, I love them

I'm still not really sold on the song, but what a nice video! They've evolved into really fine young women, beautiful.

Hopefully they get a slot on The X Factor Australia, they did book Hilary Duff so I think The Veronicas aren't too implausible :lol: maybe.

They already announced it!

Woo, probably a guaranteed top five in Aus then!

 

I have to say, I could potentially this going global if it had the right push, it really is beautiful and one of the best piano ballads I’ve heard in a while actually.

Wow this is absolutely beautiful

I was a bit worried at first when I found out it was a ballad but it's absolutely amazing
