Possibly my favorite if the night. I've heard it live many times, but last nights was the best. The intensity of Ed, the bass drum, just amazing. Anyone else agree?

    This is true my dad who isn't as crazy a fan as me loves this song! :)
    Let them wash away
    All those yesterdays
    All those yesterdays
    All those paper plates

    Man Of Hour can reach that status if they would play it more, has the same kind of tempo and the lyrics are clear and inspiring just like Present Tense, they could play both songs every concert as far as I am concerned

    just a shame with the gazillion Wrigley uploads no one has uploaded this or Come Back yet, and hopefully Come Back includes the part where Eddie dedicates the song to the wife of 10c member who passed, I really want to hear both

    Present tense. Now there is a great slower then rocking song. I miss songs like these being written! Present tense, all or nothing, black and many others back in 90s were the classics!

    I liked it so much, I asked my girlfriend to marry me, had the ring with me in case the moment presented itself. She's taught me to stop beating myself up for past mistakes, to let go of some things I just couldn't seem to get past, and to, well, just live in the present tense. So it fit, and the band nailed the song. Thanks to PJ for such a great song, and thanks to everyone for the perfect atmosphere. (And then thanks for the rain delay so we could tell everyone without being distracted).
