What an awesome song.  Gave it a rating of 8.  First time I've heard it, and the band as well.  Love you, Radio Paradise.  Love discovering new music.  Keep up the good work  :)

Starting this one at 8. Surprised I hadn't rated it yet. Like others I also thought it was Madrugada.

Music for introspection: 4 days left in a job I've had for over 10 years; starting a new chapter in my career on Monday.  Thankful I have a good job now and a better one on the horizon.  The house is warm, my belly is full, and I have a hot cup of coffee in my hand.  Nice. . .

Hmmm, soft, nice to start a day of work, when it's sunny and cold outside in Beijing city. Humming with the song, drinking coffee, thinking about this day as if it would never end, feeling comfortable. Perfect tune for that mood

I didn't know Madrugada was no more! According to Wikipedia, their guitarist, Robert Buras, was found dead with his guitar in his hands... Sad...

 
Yes he was.  RIP... Watch the cult movie "Wristcutters" for further information.

 I think Madrugada wants to be like White Birch.

8 just for the intro, the rest of the song better not screw it up

EDIT - wasn't as good as the intro promised :-/    Back down to 7 I think.

Somber is OK but the harmonic overtone (guitar or keyboard?) through the entire tune led me to hit the mute button and reach for the ibuprofen.  Otherwise, the tune was not all that bad...

I missed most of it, but what I heard of it sounded interesting - making a note for myself to check this one out.

I actually think this sounds a lot like Coldplay, especially "Beautiful World."
