Single from the Twilight soundtrack on the deluxe edition. I dunno If it will go for adds but they released it as a digital single on iTunes a few weeks ago.
I haven't listened yet, but based on reviews this isn't so hot.

Sadly, O.A.R. have been on quite a downward spiral since they signed with Lava Records (promise they wouldn't change the band, uh huh! ;) ) "Souls Aflame", "In Between Now and Then" and "Risen" were a stellar trifecta because they knew how to toe the line perfectly between feel-good melodies with artistic depth and integrity. In fact, any of their songs were epic, if anything, yet didn't sacrifice any sense of melody or rhythm all the same, like with "That Was A Crazy Game of Poker". Ever since they signed with Lava though, it's almost as though (maybe not so much in concert, but surely in studio) they're trying to abandon, even deny, their traditional appeal and re-define themselves like Vertical Horizon have also done in the form of a MOR act. In fairness, "Stories of a Stranger" still maintained some of the elements characteristic of O.A.R.'s roots, but many of the songs lacked staying power because they were overly polished with Glen Ballard's spit shine................then "All Sides" was just awful with only the last several songs on the album having any mere resemblance of them. Given the band, ironically, actually suffered a sales decline despite garnering their biggest hit single to date from the "All Sides" era, perhaps the band will retrace its footsteps and contemplate what it is that helped them successfully sell out Madison Square Garden even before joining the major leagues to begin with. That said, this track doesn't appear to be a convincing indication they are doing just that. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

It's from the Twilight soundtrack? So... why would they be sending it for download now many months later??? Makes no sense to me.

Actually, I was wrong. This is from the original Twilight soundtrack. It was released on the Special Edition version of the CD.
Why they released it on iTunes as a single so much later, I have no idea. I'm not even sure this song deserves a topic anymore.
