5 star song. Certainly a top 20 song for me. And I hate the fade out only because I'm having such a great time.


Society is a good performance of a song I could care less about. The songs that Eddie gravitated towards for those Into the Wild covers are baffling

Life Wasted is a decent 3* PJ track.

I've always been a fan of Life Wasted. It's not one of their best songs ever or anything, but it's a good song with an arrangement that I think is more clever than it's typically given credit for. And years past, Society is one of quite a few ITW songs that does little for me.

I think Life Wasted is a 4.5 for me. Might could hang a 5 on it someday.

I don't hate Life Wasted. And it has a very special spot in my heart because it directly lead to me attending the RRHF induction ceremony. So it means a lot to me.

But I just have always loved Society. It's exactly what a want from a folk/protest/social commentary song. Ed's delivery is perfection.

I'm voting for it here with full respect to Life Wasted and the understanding that LW should probably advance.

I agree with epilogue. That feels weirder than the time I agreed with Burt.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Society is maybe my second favorite Ed solo song after Hard Sun. I just think Life Wasted whips ass.

I'm actually slightly surprised this one is as big a blowout as it is....i ultimately voted for Life Wasted but i struggled.
