I just like Sometimes better. Though, that lyric in WYA does bug me, always has. It's not the only reason I'm voting for Sometimes.

It's was hard for me to vote against Who You Are. I just really love Sometimes.

changed my vote bc i've never heard the wooden wind chime sound in the background of Sometimes. Combining with the running water, like a little zen garden :thumbsup:

Fun fact. Sometimes is probably at the very bottom of the album openers for me.

Nevermind. It's probably ahead of fatal.

It's definitely towards the top for me - probably behind Last Exit and Can't keep.

I can't think of any of Eddie's spiritual striving songs that I like all that much. At least not once god gets directly involved. I love mind your manners, but that's all politics.

I love Sometimes, lyrically and musically and especially the performance. Who You Are is clunky but it was such a slap in the face in 96. I can remember my first listen so clearly and the drum patterns just floored me. Jack owns this track and Ed's shitty lyrics can't detract from it.

pretty sure Ed's used an electric sitar in both No Way and Parting Ways

still hope Who You Are pulls this one off...
