Toughest decision for me yet I think.
Springtime has awesome lyrics and a great sound.
Looking for a Place to Happen is such a solid, classic Hip tune. Also great lyrics.
I think I have to go to the tie breaker. Gord said on a radio interview pretty recently that his fave song was Springtime.
Plus that song has grown on me quite a bit lately.

Tight race again...
This was tough one, for me, as I'm sure it is for everyone...What clinched it for me was that 4th "We live t'survive our paradoxes...", 2nd verse...I said a long time ago that's my favourite moment in all Hip tunes...
Escape Is At Hand-Tales of a Boy and a Band due June 2013 from Eternal Cavalier Press

Springtime In Vienna is amazing live. Amazing amazing amazing. It's so powerful. That being said, I just can't get into the album version. That's why I voted for Looking For A Place To Happen. That's such a brilliant way of putting things to me, it seems to fit life so perfectly. It roped me instantly, and I have billions of memories associated with it. I love it to death, it's one of my top 10 favourite songs by them no question.

I thought Looking was going to run away with it in this matchup, turns out Springtime is WINNING right now! Guess I underestimated Springtime...
