Parachutes is wonderful. Let it Ride is pretty bland.

Man. That let it ride outro is top notch though.


However, parachutes is all sorts of wonderful

Agreed. At least it'll fall to a very worthy competitor.

Word. It's just a shame that some songs in other matches this round that don't deserve it will advance and this one will fall. But such is the nature of MARCH MADNESS!!!!!!!

But, yeah, Parachutes is glorious. It's not a difficult call, just unfortunate.

Parachutes is probably the best song from the last three records.

These are about equal and both very good. I'll go with Let it Ride.

I'm kind of indifferent of both of these songs but I like Let it Ride better.

Fuck you random generator. One of these (LiR) will depart while other turds will slide thru. I'm incandescent with rage.

Parachutes. (C'mon Varis, step into the light)

Let It Ride is overrated and still a half-baked song. Parachutes is a marvelously fully-realized moment when PJ rarely channels the stranger side of the Beatles.

I listened to both of these tonight. I'm more strongly in the Let it Ride camp. That coda is one of the better vocals/lyrics Ed has ever put together, and very effective.

Ha! Parachutes is a piece of crap. Wishlist can have my lefty and it can have my righty.

I'm not at all happy about this round at all tbh. I've certainly lost some of my enthusiasm generally. I need to fight to get it back again.

I don't get parachutes. It's an OK song, but it really suffers from the horrible Avocado production. As far as PJ lullabies go it's got nothing on ATY or around the bend.

Ed sounds pretty bad on the studio version too, but he sounds bad on most of Avocado.

Parachutes is the best song in this division.
