Parachutes easily over Low Shite.

Well played Sir, well played.

I think Low Light is the maybe the weakest song released by the band during their 'classic' ('90-'98) period, so this is Parachutes for me.

Lowlight...but this one had me torn.

I goddamn love Lowlight so goddamn much!

I like the studio version of lowlight so much more than the live version

I remember they went years after the release of yield not playing it. now you can’t hide from it live.

I wish Lowlight were captured differently, like with more of a Daughter/Riot Act vibe. There’s a lack of air despite the composition sounding very airy. Feels pinched and tight when it should feel expansive and loose.

That pinched feeling despite the the airy composition creates a fantastic tension that really works for me. It's exactly what the song is about. One of the reasons I adore Lowlight so much is that it sounds exactly like what it's about.

Hmm, that’s interesting. I’ll give it a spin and keep this in mind.

Come to think of it, I have no idea what Lowlight is even about. If I take the lyrics literally, it’s still a bit vague. Anybody want to share their take?

I was just listening to yield this morning. eddie takes on the same themes in come back, with more direct lyrics- it feels like it is looking at how to put your life back together in the face of loss and tragedy knowing you’ll never get back what you had

with the caveat i dont know that ive ever sat with low light to try and develop a take on it
