    This poll gave me an immediate headache.
    In Hiding soothed it though.

    Tough one, love both songs. But given to fly on my initial listen just resonated with me emotionally, great music, great lyrics. Yield is my favourite record and all the songs flow after each other, a real journey. Classic...

    I would take Faithfull, Brain of J, Do The Evolution, and No Way over these two. They are strong songs but these two in particular I want to love but can't seem to.

    Really? These have been my go to songs from yield since 98. But to each his own. And all the songs you mentioned are stellar live. Tough choice.

    I really want to love In Hiding but I think it is the chorus that holds it back for me. It is a fun song to play on guitar.

    And I forgot about freaking Low Light. My top 5 song and I forgot to mention it until derbydave's post.

    Even though I like In Hiding a lot, I really love Given To Fly. Every time I have heard it live, it's just superb!

    in hiding is fun as hell to play live. in fact yield was the last album that i could play front to back on guitar.

    I love Given to Fly, but In Hiding is my favorite PJ song of all time, so it's an easy pick.

    Love em both recorded or live but love in hiding more. I got it live last year and can still remember tipping my head back and just losing it all by myself in whatever 200 section just jammin and feeling every moment!
    Oh please let it rain today.

    "In Hiding"...My favourite tune by my favourite band. That song is my happy place.

    Gtf is my #1 PJ song, but it was still hard to choose over a song like In Hiding. 2 of my all time favorite songs, 2 songs that have been fundamentally important to my life.

    I really love them both, but GTF wins just because of what it does for the crowd at a live show..... Not that In Hiding doesn't get the crowd going too, and it's become a pretty cool sing-a-long song, which is fun. But GTF really gets the floor bouncing.

    GTF, my number favourite from yield and a top 10 of all time for me.

    Love In Hiding too, but it's on a level lower down for me.
