Recent appreciation for UNDONE

I always thought Undone was okay, a little generic sounding. But over the past couple of months I've listened to it a bunch of times and have a new appreciation for it.
I was making a mix CD/ipod playlist to hype myself and my friends up for the election, and included Undone in the "positive" CD (it's 3, and the first 2 are anti-Bush, and anti-War songs). I mean, if the lyrics weren't so mumbly, Obama could have used it as his rally theme song this year!
"All this hope and nowhere to go
This is how I used to feel, but no more..." etc...
Come on! And it was written in '02!

I enjoy Riot Act a great deal, but you can't tell me Other Side, Down, and Undone aren't better songs than Help Help and Bushleaguer.
Can you?

Undone has been 'that song' that has been playing constantly over the last couple of weeks or so...
Witness the occupation.
Corporations rule the day.
Well you know the pendulum throws.
Farther out to the one side swinging.
Has to sweep back the other way."
Love these lines...so appropriate this month. I actually have part of this on my facebook.
Why are Republicans such sore losers? The fact that President-elect Obama put such strict rules on lobbyists in his transition team is good proof that he is the right man for the job as opposed to the man who asked a woman to be his VP just so he could try to wrangle up more votes.
I think the words are most fitting for the new administration too, Steve.
I like the version on the Australian Import, "I am mine" single much better. The distorted guitar solo is so cool. And on the Lost Dogs version, they washed it out which is too bad.
If you are posting this thread based on the Lost Dogs version, and hadn't heard the version on the Australian Import, "I am mine" single, you're in for a treat when you hear it.
why are you assuming I'm a Republican?? because i'm not!!
"i'm no longer a democrat..sure as fuck ain't no republican either!!..i only know one party, and that is FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!! i am a Patriot!"
