do you think Insignificance should be played more often than it has been the last 10 years or so?

frequency which Insignificance has been played see below
considering this one of their best songs ever, I don't get why they stopped playing it especially with all the stuff in the middle east still going on, it is more relevant than ever and also it whips the crowd into a frenzy every time when it stops and builds back up twice each time more intense, would be a perfect lead into Rearviewmirror or Porch, I know it is a hard song to play, but my response is you guys are pros, this is what you do and this is one of your best songs, play it more, thank you

    Ive always felt this song missed the mark a bit. Cool riff in the bridge but chorus doesn't go anywhere. Far from a bad song but I'm cool with it being played minimally; now Grievance on the other hand should be played way more.

    yeah it needs up to 15 choices instead of 10 so when we ask to rank songs on an album we don't have to leave any off

    I would to hear it lead into extended RVM or Porch
  • Yes, love it
    Yes an extended RVM or Porch after Insignificance would be perfect. RVM is another one of my favorites to hear live!

    Didn't they use to play it right into not for you? I could've sworn they did somewhere. If not, that would be a sick little 2-step. \m/

    love Not For You, Ed's vocals on that are so perfect for that and I love that beat, everyone is tapping their foot thinking about it

    I think it's one of their very best, especially live!

    the lyrics are amazing and once I learned all the words it is an incredibly fun song to sing, if you like basic shit Insignificance would not be your cup of tea, it really helps if you know the song once you do it gets better each time you listen to it, and living here in Seattle it means more because he is talking shit about Boeing making planes that are used in war, and the state recently gave Boeing 9.8 billion in tax breaks because they were threatening to take jobs away, so fuck Boeing! and this song says it beautifully

    I think I posted this in the last Insignificance thread from BBH.

    i think Insignificance is played enough. There are many other songs that I would rather hear that are played less frequently.

    Yep, love it, can relate to the lyrics and really rocks live. Binaural is one of my favourites, a real fans record and the concept of space , really surfaces throughout , insignificance resonates with our yes our insignificance! One of eddies best, lyrically and musically.

    Used to love it but it's a song that kinda bores me now. I'd much rather hear Grievance played live more from the same album.

    The funny thing is Insignificance used to be a favourite from Binaural and Grievance I couldn't get into and now it's the other way round!

    It's a good tune but I prefer the slower stuff from Binaural. They have better songs that the crowd can rock out to.

    Good song and I'd definitely rather hear it than hearing Jeremy again but there are many other songs played infrequently I'd rather hear. Grievance is one of my favorites ever! Or give me more Ghost, Comatose, NAIS, Gods Dice.
