The stripped-down instrumental styling and song structure of “Our Thing” is an oddity, for even though this slightly symphonic song does not indulge itself with lavish orchestration, it does develop into a powerful soundscape where the guitar, piano and (synthetic) strings combine to form an intimate arrangement. Delicate but dramatic, “Our Thing” exemplifies Elliott’s trademark taste for ethereal sound. It's an acquired taste, but worth a listen if you are about ready to go to bed.
