Unless a miracle happens, it looks like WITW is going to take it all.
I'm going to go ahead and cast my vote for How Long, and then stand back and give it a huge round of applause...

Unfortunately the best song didn't win. But congrats anyway to WITW. IMO It is the weakest song on the album.
Congratulations, Waiting In The Weeds! This has been a lot of fun, and I'm thrilled with the winner. For me, Waiting In The Weeds and Long Road Out Of Eden are the standout songs on the album, although I have a great deal of affection for the rest of it. Your eloquent reasoning, PM and Dreamer, has really made me appreciate what an important song How Long is.
Back to WITW... It is poetry. I find the image of "a small gray spider spinning in the dark, in spite of all the times the web is torn apart" very inspiring. The song has a mystical, cyclical feel to it, which I love. It's as if the song goes on after you've finished listening to it. I feel the same way about LROOE. These guys sure know how to write songs!
Lastly, thank you for the clips, Soda. The live footage made the excitement about next summer's show rush back in floods. I know I am going to cry - if not when I first catch sight of them, when they sing this song.
you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--
Perhaps you would like to give your reasons for why you think this song, which has achieved such popularity amongst fans and which no less a person than Glenn Frey states is one of his favourites, is the 'weakest' song. What don't you like about it? I think that's a very, very big claim.
I admit to surprise that if you think it's so 'weak' you weren't voting for it to be eliminated. You know how other people like it, I guess.
And which song do you consider the 'best' song, and why? I am interested to hear your opinion.
I will state here that WITW isn't my favourite track on this album, but I do think it ranks up there with the band's very best work.

I don't really care for the poetry of the song, It seems to be a little sappy. The best song on the album is You Are Not Alone IMO. YANA Inspires me whenever I have trouble in my life.
I want to thank the newbies for weighing in on this last round... even if you didn't pick my song.... It was fun!
