    All Or None
    And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear
    And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
    My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all

    The best ever!!!
    I mean the way Ed described this song as like a way building and finally crashing is spot on. This song has gotten me through a lot of hard times, and i always go back to it. Peace, J

    I love it for the same reason. I mean, iknow Ed didn't personally write the song for me. Alas, the song reminds me of all the hard times I unfortinatley went through and all the regret and I anger I dwelled on because of the hard times. In the end though, I realized that I was not the fuck up and that I had to forgive myself for the mistakes I encountered and just move forward. It's such an song of enlightment and seems to free us from our hard times times as well.

    I really feel like if there was a song to sum my life up in a nutshell "present Tense" is the song.

    can't pick just one..... just can't. depends on the time of day and where my head is at. i will tell you though, i probably got more feeling from the extended "Arc" during the berkley 2 solo concert than i have ever heard in my life. people cried. ed cried. priceless.
