Two overrated songs, but Long Road can be genuinely moving.

I do believe that Of the Girl is a bit overrated.
Long Road, however, is not. It gets my vote.

Oh goddammit.

Both of these are top 10 pj songs, just like the Grievance/Sad matchup.

Great round.

I dont care which one wins here so maybe I wont vote at all. Long Road can certainly hit some emotional peaks and of the girl just hits my sexy sweet spot every single time.

Yeah but if you don't vote for Long Road the terrorists win.

Just think of that majestic Touring Band 2000 opening.

One time I heard Long Road on the way home from putting down a pet cat at the vet. I cried. Now I get all mushy when I hear it.

Long Road.

Long Road is overdue for a spot in the final four.

I voted Long Road, but this is basically a coin flip match for me.

Nearly impossible choice.

Long Road was the first song I ever saw PJ play live.

Of The Girl opened the Benaroya show.

This morning, I am feeling Of The Girl.

I like Long Road.

I goddamn LOVE Of The Girl.

Long Road has never been for me what it is for so many others. Perhaps I feel the same way about LR as Ruddo does about IMT.

I think "Long Road" is the stronger composition, but "Of the Girl" is the stronger band performance. Both are stellar concert openers. Gotta think about this one for a bit.

It's rare that I vote against a Jack Irons era tune, but I really love Of the Girl.

Well, in this clip, Long Road sounds like a lost Binaural track with those guitar tones, so best of both worlds...

Long Road live, like Who You Are, lose those precious Jack moments with Matt.
