Match-up #35 - The Last Of The Unplucked Gems Vs. Titanic Terrarium
Listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

Terrarium is a great song (love the banjo) but Gems is, I think, the most important 2 minutes on Road Apples because it hints at the band the Hip would become starting with FC. It foreshadows both FC and DFN, with a little TATH thrown in for good measure. A lot in just one 2-minute throwaway song.

Completely agree, Gems is absolutely magical. That touch of Henhouse, is what makes this song so special, to me.
