Match-up #25 - Vapour Trails Vs. Goodnight Josephine
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.

I did each song justice and listened to them live and in studio and made my decision. Very evenly matched round, but then again, I thought last round would be a blow out...

Josephine is top 5 for me. That last verse is simply stellar. Downie at his best.
