5 star song. Certainly a top 20 song for me. And I hate the fade out only because I'm having such a great time.


Society is a good performance of a song I could care less about. The songs that Eddie gravitated towards for those Into the Wild covers are baffling

I love all this Life Wasted praise. I should lock the thread before someone ruins it

Life Wasted is a decent 3* PJ track.

I've always been a fan of Life Wasted. It's not one of their best songs ever or anything, but it's a good song with an arrangement that I think is more clever than it's typically given credit for. And years past, Society is one of quite a few ITW songs that does little for me.

I think Life Wasted is a 4.5 for me. Might could hang a 5 on it someday.

I don't hate Life Wasted. And it has a very special spot in my heart because it directly lead to me attending the RRHF induction ceremony. So it means a lot to me.

But I just have always loved Society. It's exactly what a want from a folk/protest/social commentary song. Ed's delivery is perfection.

I'm voting for it here with full respect to Life Wasted and the understanding that LW should probably advance.

I agree with epilogue. That feels weirder than the time I agreed with Burt.

Society is maybe my second favorite Ed solo song after Hard Sun. I just think Life Wasted whips ass.

I'm actually slightly surprised this one is as big a blowout as it is....i ultimately voted for Life Wasted but i struggled.
