Of the three, I think it had the most potential in a lot of ways — great verses, really strong vocal performance. Happy Trees is right that the chorus holds it back. I dig it though, warts and all.wease wrote:Hold On seems to be the one of the three they really wanted to make work. We know they worked on 2 different versions of it during Vs. And Ed kept throwing “hold on” into improvs (back when they would do them).

How about SOLAT and Breath?tragabigzanda wrote:With the exception of Wash, I think the band did a great job of separating the wheat from the chaff for Ten.

Those were set aside for "Singles" ahead of time I thought. And they hadn't finished "State" yet when Ten came out. That was recorded later with Mister Cymbals.Anders wrote:How about SOLAT and Breath?tragabigzanda wrote:With the exception of Wash, I think the band did a great job of separating the wheat from the chaff for Ten.

It was a choice, just like with Wash, YL, Footsteps, JUG, DF, etc.

No. There’s that demo version with Krusen that was released with the Ten re-release. There isn’t much at all that’s different between the two versions.Happy Trees wrote:Those were set aside for "Singles" ahead of time I thought. And they hadn't finished "State" yet when Ten came out.

Re: Lost Dogs: Official Album Thread
Two better somgs than Wash left out. They were also played earlier than Wash, so completing them or not had nothing to do with it.
Disagree with you that they couldn’t have fitted on Ten.

Re: Lost Dogs: Official Album Thread
Wait, so Hold On was recorded at that very first session? I don’t think I realized it went back that far.
And I agree State and Breath would have worked on Ten. Especially with Krusen’s drumming.

Re: Lost Dogs: Official Album Thread
I can see keeping Breath off Ten due to its similarities to Alive - those two songs are doing something fairly similar. Of course they're both awesome so it's not a great reason, but it is a reason.
Wash and SOLAT could have been on the record and it could have been 13 songs long and even more amazing
