Ugh, painful. Breath was a top 10 at one point, but Porch is top 3-4 and not likely to be leaving that spot.

I hate the slower Ed intro live. Porch has tired for me. Breath today.

Ooph, this one's hard. I'm not sure yet.

Porch for me

Me too.

Similar to the Go vs All or None matchup, there's no version of Breath that touches Porch at it's Eddie-scaling-the-rafters very best.

Porch, simply for its role as a live song. Breath always seems like a really great idea at the start, but Eddie never quite gets to the peak I always expect from listening to the studio version.

Porch. The redux version is great, as is the unplugged version.

I'll go with "Breath." "Porch" rocks, but I think it's the weaker composition.

I would agree with you there, but the simplicity of Porch always appealed to me (I think the main riff is only two notes). Also, the redux version really pops as Krusen's drumming shines. So that specific version is what's getting my vote.

Come.
Here it comes.
There it goes.
When it comes.
Where it goes.
Where it comes.

I can't stand this mode of voting. Vote for the composition, not particular performances.

"Man, song A is better overall but it really sucked during the 2007 tour so I guess I'll vote for song B because it's always been at least decent live".

All sorts of things influence my vote. Not specific performances or years etc but all of those things can't help but inform how I feel about a song in a general sense.

I love Breath.
