    Some AWESOME picks, PBM. Personal Jesus, Imagine, and If 6 was 9 are all excellent picks. And "Pets" just made me laugh out loud a little bit. That's when I knew it was a good pick. It has the same "what the fuck?" vibe to it that Pilate had....until Will explained it all to me.

    I'm digging these.
    Are you seeing the "I'm not trying to make a difference no way" as the tie with People on the Moon? They are both songs about frustration, that's for sure.

    Like the Pretenders taking DTE's spot...completely different sound, but the message is the same.

    I'm curious to your explanation on Mad World and In Hiding, again the sounds are so different, but I can see the parallel in content. I'm not familiar with all of these songs, but it seems the content fits it to a T although it wouldn't sound like the YIELD we know and love.
    Teamwork. Rawk. Pwnage. Infinite Possibilities. YIELD. Hells yeah.

    Good Friday Morning my YIELD brethren.

    So, I have my serious sister song for Given To Fly. I'm gonna go with "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2. I think this is a really good fit. Musically, the song is just as big as GTF with the way the verses build before they just explode into the chorus. The song just soars, much like GTF does.

    "I want to run
    I want to hide
    I want to tear down the walls
    That hold me inside
    I want to reach out
    And touch the flame
    Where the streets have no name

    I want to feel sunlight on my face
    I see the dust cloud disappear
    Without a trace
    I want to take shelter from the poison rain
    Where the streets have no name

    Where the streets have no name
    Where the streets have no name
    We're still building
    Then burning down love
    Burning down love
    And when I go there
    I go there with you
    It's all I can do"

    Those lyrics seem so YIELDy to me, too. It's about breaking the chains, much like our friend in GTF. You can't keep the main character down in either song, no matter how fucking hard you try.

    Good pick! I'd say the live version is better than GTF live too.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    That's a mighty bold statement. But it also might be true. I got weak in the knees when I heard "Where The Streets Have No Name" live.

    I would definitely agree with this statement as well. I bought Rattle and Hum about a year ago on your recommendation.

    The Bad/Streets combo is probably the best 1-2 punch in live music. Well, besides FAITHFULL/IN HIDING....but how often has that happened?

    Yes! We have our S-A-A back here now, too. It's like we're a group of genocide survivors who spent a year in exile and are starting to see if it's safe to come back home.

    All I know is that in my year of exile, I have sorely missed talking about YIELD and I'm thinking up some big ideas of things to talk about this summer.

    MFC/Immortality in Cleveland last year was up there. That was like 8 straight minutes of me losing my mind.
