Broken Wing

I was instantly in love with broken Wing when I heard it. Temptation is better musically but the lyrics to Broken Wing are so good. Especially the bridge

I understand the things that keep you up
And I know that you still feel
And I know your heart is hemmoraging
You need some time to heal
And now the traffic lights there on your street flash yellow all the time
And the mirror in the bathroom, it looks cracked in the wrong light

But walk out through your threshold
Fill your lungs and move on down the stairs
And let the things you love come back to you
In time we’ll all get there

 

I like the interpretation that Broken Wing is about Matt. Makes sense given what was going on with him at the time.

Shall we keep it open ?

 

If not we can get the ball rolling on s/t

 

I doubt Temptation will catch up. Which pisses me the fuck off. May as well put a bullet in it.

 

I figured most of the regulars voted, fuck it, let's do s/t next. I honestly didn't think Broken Wing would win ! The brackets for s/t will be up soon.

 

Broken Wing is one of the best ALK3 songs, glad it won

 

Alright guys, it's time for the s/t comp ! This should be fun, a bunch of great songs on this bad boy. This Is Getting Over You, 97 and Goodbye Forever have been granted first round byes. Due to lack of songs Cooking Wine/I Lied My Face off will be a second round match up. Here are your first round match ups and voting begins now !

I really wanted to vote for Snake so bad that I feel guilty for voting against it.
