Paint You Wings The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver (this was a tough choice) Somewhere in Neverland (Outlines is good, but not as good as many of you are making it out to be) If These Sheets Were States
I'm loving the love for If These Sheets Were The States, I remember when it came out I was in an LDR due to having just gone uni, and that song really resonated at the time.
Paint You Wings The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver Somewhere in Neverland If These Sheets Were States
2a) Paint You Wings 2b) Backseat Serenade 2c) Somewhere in Neverland (this is going to be interesting) 2d) If These Sheets Were States This album goooood
I know I've only listened to the full album through once, but on that first listen The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver was probably my least favourite track of the 16 (aside from maybe So Long, and Thanks for All the Booze). Curious, from the people repping it, what they enjoy about the song. Maybe I should give it a few more listens.
I love the opening line, Alex's soaring melody right before the chorus. It's catchy as hell. I love the guitar pattern (I want to call it crunchy but idk if that's the right word/makes sense). I basically just think it's a lot of fun. Why don't you like it?
Irony is probably one of my favorite tracks on DP, actually. I like that it’s one of the only mid tempo type songs on the album
Album ranking: Outlines For Baltimore Somewhere in Neverland The Reckless and the Brave Paint You Wings The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver If These Sheets Were States Thanks to You So Long, and Thanks for All the Booze So Long, Soldier Backseat Serenade To Live and Let Go Don’t care that much about the bonus tracks.
I'll have to give it another listen to give a more definitive answer, but on the first listen I found it really boring and the chorus is weak as hell. Only redeeming aspect was the bridge, IMO.
I actually didn't like it when I first heard it. But then I saw them live like a year later and they played it and I really liked it, and was hooked then on. Overall though I think the guitars in it are awesome and has a really catchy chorus
End of ROUND 2: So that was over pretty quickly. So Long Soldier: 13 Paint You Wings: 11 (RIP) ---------- Backseat Serenade: 16 The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver: 8 (RIP) ---------- Outlines: 12 (RIP) Somewhere in Neverland: 12 (13) ---------- Me Without You (All I Ever Wanted): 8 (RIP) If These Sheets Were States: 16 ROUND 3: 3a) So Long Soldier vs. Backseat Serenade 3b) Somewhere in Neverland vs. If These Sheets Were States Upcoming FINALE: Winner of 3a vs. Winner of 3b Go!
Backseat Serenade (I'm pretty neutral on this one though. I really like both these songs, so I won't be upset either way.) If These Sheets Were States (But it should be For Baltimore I'm voting for here.)
Backseat Serenade (this didn't deserve to beat Irony, but it's still better than So Long Soldier Somewhere in Neverland (tough choice, I'll be fine with either winning)
Ugh, what a middling final four (aside from Neverland) So Long Soldier (I know this doesn't stand a chance but whatever) Somewhere in Neverland
