1) Because it's a good song
2) Because it's the band's current single
3) Because the song has been their most successful second single pretty much ever
4) Because chicks dig it
5) Because Ed just got engaged, and his chick digs it

Alot of folks on here said Just Breathe wouldn't be successful. It is. Now, it's peaking and losing some momentum, I think this SNL performance will give it a bump.


My bets are on the following:

2 songs on SNL - Just Breathe and Amongst the Waves

3 songs on SNL - The Fixer, Just Breathe and Amongst the Waves

I'd lean towards the 3 song set in odds because I think PJ would like something upbeat (The Fixer), a ballad (Just Breathe) and something mid-tempo (Amongst the Waves).
Here's a new demo called "in the fire":

    I'm going with 3 song as well:
    Got Some
    Amongst the Waves
    Just Breathe
  • I think it's pretty obvious they will play jb on snl

    the next question is what else?

    if it's only 2 songs I suppose it will be the next single, I would recomend unthought known. why? because I've noticed many times when I play the record at parties and such with non pj fans that this is the song that gets everyone's attention and people really like it. it's that simple.

    anyway like someone else said: play whatever the f u want
  • I would bet everything I have that they play Just Breathe. It's their current single and it's doing well, so they'd be nuts not to play it. After that, they have a lot of options. I would love to see "Force of Nature" but I am cool with whatever else off Backspacer that they choose.
    "Darkness comes in waves, tell me, why invite it to stay?"
  • Got Some (Though they already played this with Conan, so I could see them skipping it)

    so bearing that in mind...

    Unthought Known
    Just Breathe
    Force of Nature
