I never thought this would be a song that makes me really think about what's gone on in my life, but the other day, I felt pretty teary from listening to this. It felt quite saddening to know how Amy was feeling at one point of time when creating the open door. As a fan I just feel like I should be reminding her that she really is good enough

My first imopression of this song was that Amy tried to cram to much in lyrically and the melody couldn't hold it...

But that didn't last long.

At the moment this is definately my favorite song on the album. I love the end of the first verse

and though I may have lost my way
all paths lead to you.

I get this seriously creepy mental picture of Amy as a young girl, lying on top of Bonnies grave as if trying to get as close to her as possible though. It's disturbing and its making me cry.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amy did perform this one live. It's different from Hello; Hello was raw, stricken, desparate, grief however Like You is almost mournfully hopeful. It's a song of rememberance rather than an emotional outburst.

Personally I think it would make an amazing single however I think that could be pushing it a bit far

My favourite song of the new album. It really makes me think about different things in my life. It's sad but somehow beautiful. It kinda reminds me of the feelings I had when my grandpa died a few months ago & this song simply reminds me of him so much.

this song put tears in my eyes! It's such a great song but incredibly sad........

Downfall · 09-30-2006, 03:13 PM

It sounds like she's close to crying when she sings "I long to be like you / Lie cold in the ground like you". It makes me very emotional

unfortunatelly its not written in the booklet. for me it's (sis)(ter)

i dont think amy would use the word "sis" in such a serious song. but its just my opinion.

**Onyrika** · 09-30-2006, 07:39 PM

It can be a serious song but over all it's a personal song and 'sis' is more intimate than sister... I hear either 'did' or 'dear'. But whatever

Rose Garden · 09-30-2006, 08:17 PM

I hear did or dead.
And she does say sis, right? Because I can't hear sister.

I cried the first time I heard this song. It makes me think of my brother who passed away 2 years ago. Even though it brought back all the feelings of grief, it's a way of coping. I can't help but to love this song.

I hear "I long to be like you sis, lie cold in the ground like you did" I think it's more personal if she use sis cause it's about her little sister and I don't think she'd sing sister, I don't know why, it just makes more sense to me the word "sis"
