Easily the best backspacer song live. Lightning Bolt, Unthought Known, and Given to Fly are all great and have that soaring chorus. I remember seeing the song played in 2012 and it was great to hear live,
The song takes on special meaning for me. My 8 year old son has autism, and while i already liked the song, the first time i heard it after he was diagnosed, i was immediately blown away by the last verse ("See the path....you'll be no one's rival"), and how that's exactly how i felt about him and the whole situation. So anytime I hear it live now, i always get extra pumped and emotional. I wish i could thank Eddie for writing those words, because there's no song/verse I've ever heard that means as much to me in regards to my son as Unthought Known.

I have a somewhat similar experience with this song. A couple years ago my dad passed away and for some reason I was in a backspacer phase at the time and this song constantly reminds me of that hard time in my life. Not in a negative light though, More in a spiritual sense.

And you would easily win that argument!
Well thats a close second after Machine, which is a real box bending stunner.
