I wouldn't be mad if they played this a couple of times on the upcoming tour.

maybe even Ed playing it solo.

I'll give this a 4. With time, it's become one of the two or three best on this album.

I was listening to one of my PJ rarities mixes at some point during the last couple months and the demo for this song came up. It's a great song, served well by the underdressed presentation of the demo, compared to the sparklier studio version (which is still good). Some chord combinations that I really like (never bothered to research what they are, I just like the way they sound). One of the best tunes on Backspacer probably, though I hardly ever think of it when I think about the album.

Meh

[Monkey_Driven]

This is a good one.

I like this one. I think I like the acoustic version even more.
