Future Days or Better Days?

Just listened to Better Days from the Eat Love Pray soundtrack for the first time in a long while. It's a nice song! A cross between Ed's Into the Wild stuff and his collaborations with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Made me think, what's your preferred song if you had to choose? Future Days from LB or Better Days?

    That's easy - Better Days.

    Future Days is one of the few PJ songs I just can't listen to, it's that bad.

    “Put yer good money on the sunrise”

    I'd go with Future Days. I loved it the first time I heard it!

    Better Days by a long shot.

    Future Days is one of the reasons I'm slowly giving up on the band if they can't find enough time to fill an album with meaningful songs and include Future Days and Sleeping by Myself on an album. I couldn't put my finger on it but in the last few weeks I've realized why my PJ fandom is decreasing and this is it. They still put on great live shows but I want to follow a band that is still hungry to put out the best music it can. For now I'll be listening to Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, and the like...

    Yep, Better Days all day long. Not even close.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Agreed. Not even close. Future Days is pure shit.
