This song took a while for me to appreaciate it (especially because of the long and high notes in the chorus), but it grew on me like no other song on the album, it's now easily in my top 5. I LOVE it. It's very moving and i'm glad they made it into a powerful rock track, instead of your typical ballad or power ballad about loss.
Also, i think it's so cool that it's followed by SH. Such a contrast, both in terms of lyric perspective and music.

This is one of my favorite songs from them. Unfortunately, it's too damn high that made Amy's voice crackk and go out of tune a lot during de Europe tour. They lowered the key now and it sounds decent and still very powerful. Too bad they lowered the key when it was too late (I mean, After all the live streamed festivals)
Anyway. I sing it all the time in my head. The lyrics are probably one of the saddest ever, I hope it helped Japaneese people cope with the awful events that changed her lives for ever.

I think that the sadness of the lyrics and the strength of the music makes this song a masterpiece.
I mean, I bet many of us thought this would be a ballad like TLSIWOY before the album came out. But when I first listened to it, wow! That was a surprise! Loved it inmediatly. Besides I can really relate to the lyrics. I cried like a baby and sang really loud when they played it at the concer I went to ¡__¡
I wish they could do an acoustic version of this. That'd be even much sadder!!

I love this song so much, every time it comes on my iPod there's an instant adrenaline rush and I have to turn the volume up. From the first time I heard it I loved it so much. I love the background vocals in the second verse when she sings 'I can still see your face, where it's burned into my mind'. So haunting!

It's probably my favorite song from the whole album since the very beginning. I love the chorus (anyone one else would sing out of tune in it ;D) and the bridge is SO smashing! I love love love this song. It's the song I never skip

My thoughts on Never Go Back:
This song is powerful and heart wrenching like Lost in paradise, but the anxious and heavy guitars pack a punch--making it the heaviest song on the album. Amy proved yet again her heart of gold by declaring her inspiration to be Japan'stsunami tragedy that happened in March 2011. Never Go Back was Amy attempting to put herself in their shoes, and it is apparent that she succeeded in not doing that, but causing such a reaction in concert, according to many emotional comments on the bonus track. Amy's endless flowing fountain of talent has spouted out a true gem of a song.

I wish I had never read the misheard lyric 'Darling you're so hard until it's ooooh GOODDD' cause it really ruins such a moving, heart wrenching masterpiece as NGB. I think it's one of the best songs Ev has ever written, and I like it even more cause it is for once not about relation-drama-llama, but about a horrifying natural disaster. And what is really cool is that, knowing what it is about, the song can still be interpreted in other ways!

I've loved Never Go Back since the first time I heard the preview on FB. I think it's the heaviest song on Ev3. Probably the hardest song to perform, too...

I really dig the energy and dynamics of NGB, as well as its lyrics. It couldn't, however, even make it on my list of favourites from Ev3 due to one very simple reason; the chorus. The track has otherwise been built very nicely. I love the piano solo at the bridge, as well as the overall usage of the instrument throughout the whole song. Amy's voice is as emotional as always, the message the band has tried to get across is also very strong but... THAT chorus... It just doesn't fit, it doesn't excite me, like, at all... :/

When I listened to it after buying the album, I couldn't stop listening to it, especially the bridge and the chorus. Imagining it acoustic... It would be so different in such a positive way.

Does anyone know if this intro was used for this song at any other place?
