I really like both of these. Slight edge to Thin Air though.

Pop quiz... When was Thin Air first performed? I was there... Love it!

Never liked the spoken word thing on I'm Open, but it's tolerable. The rest of it is ok.

Thin Air by a mile.

Thin Air is so lovely and its on Binaural.

Thin Air sounds damn good on the record, but I'm Open has some of that same instrumental mood-development experimentation that made Dead Man so good. So while both are nice (but perhaps underwritten), and both rely heavily on the way they were recorded to give them a lot of their charm or depth, the latter's production points off in a direction I wish the band had explored more.

Thin Air is a wonderful little song.

the music on thin air is really nice, as is the feel of the song. I hate the lyrics though.

I don't know what to say except there are some good lyrics in this song. I wouldn't hold it as their greatest lyric, but most of their songs aren't.

I like both, but the lyrics to "I'm Open" have always struck me as kind of high school poetry-ish. I do agree with McP that it sounds wonderful, though.

I went with "Thin Air."

Ya I'm really starting to think he says things just to get a reaction.

It's sad, but stip is dead serious.

people are welcome to defend the lyrics to thin air.

Hate is too strong a word though. I'll dial that back
