Agreed.

They are all good songs though. GTF just hasn't aged super well for me. It's still good, but it isn't the gem I thought it was all those years ago. ATY has always been a fun song, and I always enjoy hearing it, but I never seek it out. NAIS has had the opposite affect on me to that of GTF. When Binaural was fresh to my ears NAIS seemed like a decent enough song that didn't live up to its own expectations. Years later, and after hearing the song hundreds and hundreds of times, it sounds better than ever to my ears. This probably has more to do with my personal musical tastes developing, maturing, and evolving over the past 15 years than any other explanation. But maybe it's just that NAIS is just a really really great song.

Is GTF becoming the Even Flow of the middle records?

I've never been hugely into GTF, but over the past couple years you may even say I've only been slightly into it. ATY takes it.

It does feel like that. And you know what? I don't have a problem with it.

What will be the Even Flow/Given to Fly of the latter records? Is the correct answer "none" because none of the songs on the recent records are good enough to be over played to the extent that fans will eventually just be bored with them?

the correct answer is none, although I think at this point some of that may be that no new song will be able to compete with the reaction that a song that's been around for 15+ years is likely to get--and so won't be included enough to become a classic.

All Those Yesterdays. It's probably not as good of a song, but I like it more.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Nope. It has been for a very, very long time.

I guess I'm just realizing it now.

Credit to the song. It's just that good.

It is good, and its cleaning house with ATY.

GtF is excellent - I particularly love Matt's work on the Lo2L version.

But my vote goes to ATY. I luv AT(Y).

ATY, mainly due to Bridge '99... and the fact that I've already heard 'Goin' To California'... and I don't vote for covers.

It's a superficial similarity at best, they're obviously quite distinct songs.

Are they?

I mean, I know they are, but still...

I love the lullaby
