I don't like In Hiding. Light Years is decent. A nice sentiment, some great lyrics (though there are some fairly wooden lines mixed in), and that really cool solo. I get why the song has the clumsy, uncomfortable in its own skin feel that it does, and the feeling its trying to capture, but I do think it hurts the actual aural experience of the song.


Light Years.

Both songs are average at best, but I prefer In Hiding in this matchup. How did these songs get this far?

Both overrated. Light Years I guess. In Hiding is overwrought.

In Hiding had to beat pilate and breakerfall (I voted for both over In Hiding)
Light Years had to beat U and LBC (I voted for Light Years twice)

so neither song has come up against very steep competition. Brian of J and No Way just had to make it past Rival and Sleight of Hand to get where they are.

I voted for Breakerfall, U, and LBC. I also voted for Sleight of Hand. :lol:

I think Light Years is supposed to be the better song, but I like In Hiding way more.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Light Years is good, can be great depending on my mood and circumstances. In Hiding is still one of my favorite songs on Yield, I always get excited when it comes on. Not really a difficult decision.

Both of these are pretty middle of the road for me. I'll go with team Binaural here.

Light Years tugs at the heart strings for me. I just love the tones all over that track. Gotta go with Light years

These are both cool songs with unique musical identities (I really love the chord progressions in both songs) which have both faded a bit for me over the years. Today I feel compelled to vote for "Light Years" because its lyrics still evoke a sense of mystery for me, where "In Hiding"'s Dr. Phil-ish tendencies hold it back a bit in that sense.

Dr. Phil is a bad comparison -- despite his Hallmarky tendencies, he is probably too credible for the analogy. Maybe Sylvia Browne? Deepak Chopra? That fortune teller from "Mallrats" with three nipples?

Dr Phil has no credibility.
