I hope you are just saying that as an act of teenage rebellion

Breath - no contest

favorite line
if I knew where it was, I would take you there...there's much more than this

and the line " ohh whow see the world" ...gives me a sense of freedom that's hard to find in any other song


I agree. The only other song that has been coming very close (or even being better) is Inside Job.


I can't add anything to this.

Umm in regards to seizing the day I would say leash. However I think I like Breath more as a song. But yeah i get the seize the day vibe from leash, it seems a lot of people just pick their favorite song in these threads... (typing this makes sense right now :? ....)

breath by a long shot. i love leash; definitely my favorite song that had dropped off the setlists before this last tour and i think of it as a great "going to seize the day" song, but in the case that you ever get what you're going for, it falls flat.

case in point, MSG 03, night 1, add one word and you've got "there's NOT much more than this." it was the best version of breath i've ever heard and really capped an epic show. with all of the other moments that night, that's the one that gives me chills to this day.

:Sigh: neither song sucks, and neither will ever suck.

Leash, just barely. Breath never really struck me as a "seize the day" song, despite the lyrics, because Ed's voice is too mellow on it. Leash is just, "come rock with us."

Life Wasted would have been a much better candidate than Leash.

I've got life wasted slotted for another battle.


There are lots of possible combos out there--if you have an idea please pm me (and let me know if you want to do the first post)
