I'll help you out! It's one of my favorites too and I just had the privilege of hearing it live in Las Vegas - thanks to Soon Forget. Awesome experience.
Thank U!

I still can't get enough of the song! I was at both Milwaukee shows and was surprised that they didn't play it at either show. I'm hoping to hear it one of the nights at the Gorge!

it sure is my favorite song on the new album... i'm in yo club!
Pittsburgh '00; Pittsburgh '03; Philadelphia '03; State College '03; Camden I '03; Camden II '03; MSG II '03; Hershey '03; Reading '04;(lived in Roma); Camden I '06; Camden II '06; D.C. '06; East Rutherford I '06; East Rutherford II '06; Pittsburgh '06; Cincinnati '06; and running...
to whoever has seen it played live what kind of reaction do you feel the crowd had to it..i've seen it a few times i think they played it at 3/4 shows i've been to this tour and i was shocked the crowd wasn't more into it..cause i sure was..i would love the chorus to become a huge crowd sing-a-long for many years to come
Just saw Marker for the first time in Vegas and it was amazing! Consider me an official member of the club.
It's definitely my favorite on an album full of close second faves (Inside Job and Gone are in the lead right now, with Army Reserve and Severed Hand right behind). The audience was VERY enthusiastic, in my opinion. As a matter of fact, all the new songs played that night seemed like well-loved friends.
Call me crazy but this is the first PJ song that reminds me of the Grateful Dead (Touch of Grey, specifically) and coming from an old Deadhead, I mean that in the best of ways. Boom rocks it in the end.
After digesting the album for a couple of months, its topped Yield as my favorite. The Yield police will be out to get me for stating that but WWS, Parachutes, Come Back and MITS are some of the best songs PJ has ever put together, imo.
As for MITS, its probably my favorite PJ song of all time quickly moving into 'classic' status.
Def. my favorite song on the album. Very strong music and lyrics. Love the guitar tones and the nice, full sound of A. Kasper's recording. Outstanding outro. Can't wait to hear it live.

This song launches me out of bed most mornings. Love it.

By the way, isn't this verse:
Walking tightrope high,... Over moral ground
Seeing visions of,............. Before you burn them down
Do come round
Really this:
...walk the bridges first, before you burn them down
Thats what I hear when I listen.
Just wondering if I am a dork or not

I guess you are the president of this hear club!, What number might I be!
As far as the outro they have not come up with a word fitting for the sound of that yet!
Outstanding would be a clear understatement.
