This song does not get enough love.

Here's to hoping they play this gem at any of the U.S. or Canadian shows, hopefully in Chicago as I'll be there. :D

Still can't believe this was left off of Binaural.

    Definitely a must for Chitown

    I dunno if it would fit on Binaural. I don't think there's room for it.

    I love Sad, but I'm not a huge fan of it live...which is strange because PJ's songs are usually better live!

    Had Sad been on Binaural, it would've been my favorite behind Nothing As It Seems and Light Years

    Funny you say that, I really like Evacuation as well.

    If I were gonna substitute a song for Sad it would probably be Thin Air or Sleight of Hand.

    "Sad" is an amazing song. Binaural would have been so much better if it had been included. I cannot agree with getting rid of "Sleight of Hand," though. That's one of the best songs on the album. If a song had to be removed to make room for "Sad," I'd have picked "Gods' Dice." It's a good song, but it could have been a B-side, whereas "Sad" could have been released as a single.

    Rival and Soon Forget should have been b-sides and In The Moonlight, Sad and Fatal should have been on the album. But then Lost Dogs wouldn't be as good as it is.

    sad, fatal, in the moonlight, and education all should have been on the album.

    evacuation, gods dice, rival, and soon forget should have been left off.


    hopefully they listen to b obrien's advice on this new album they're droppin' soon!

    I think God's Dice, Evacuation & Soon Forget should all have been b-sides and put it Sad, Fatal & Education.

    Seconded. SOH is amazing. Transcendental even. Sad is merely very, very good.

    sad's a great song. but one of the few pj tunes that sounds better on the album than live....at least the couple times i have heard it live...

    could have this thread about a lot of songs that the general public will never listen to..
    most of binaural for example.

    sad dominates

    perhaps i was too hard on it. i just remember thinking it sounded better in the studio than when i was first listening to it in reading in 03 or 04. and i obviously dont think that about a lot of pj songs

    Yeah, I'm sure it would be sweet to see live, but the versions I've heard aren't nearly as good as the studio version. It seems to be missin somethin live.
