Diamond crafted a song about freedom and uplift, yet listeners found themselves drifting into memory rather than soaring—the melody's gentle arc became less a call to transcendence and more a mirror reflecting their own past. There's a tender misalignment here: where the artist offered wings, people discovered a comfortable chair to sit in and remember.
