We Are the Same Songs that Will "Disappear"
#1

My guesses, based on the recent trend of keeping only about 4-5 of the most popular songs from the previous tour... (not wishful thinking on my part - I'd like to see new songs stick around more; rather, a pragmatic guess).

Very likely Disappearers :

-Honey, Please (infectious and - I think - radio friendly, but a little elaborate to play live - may return as a novelty)

-The Exact Feeling (maybe the only "throw-away" song of the album - still, catchy in its album version)

-Now the Struggle has a Name (too damn indulgent, though the moral message is appreciated)

-Speed River (dead and gone, though was kinda catchy I thought, and had single-potential)

-Frozen in My Tracks (maybe an encore surprise sometime in the future)

-Country Day (disappeared already, it's a shame)

SOLIDS to stay (forever?) :

-Morning Moon

-The Last Recluse

-The Depression Suite

DEBATABLE:

-Coffee Girl

-Love is a First

-Queen of the Furrows (hope it lives!!!)

Disagree on Frozen because it is a song for the crowd to join in whoooooahhhhh! :thumb:

want to be a nobody without peer
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone

I agree with most but I believe that Love is a First and Frozen will stay and Recluse won't make the cut

LIAF is one of their best straight forward rockers in a long time live. It'll stay.

Good song (LIAF), but it won't be permanent, hell they didn't even play it in North Bay. Depression Suite will be gone after this album just because it takes up too much time out of the set...time that could be dedicated to playing at least two different songs instead. I don't think many of these songs will be played a whole lot when the next album comes out...maybe for a bit initially, but most of them will be phased out ("they're phasing out my song").

Morning Moon will probably get the most play live, and rightfully so, it's the best song on the album, and the best song they've written since Phantom Power IMO.

I think Depression Suite is too epic to disappear... though maybe it'll become a rare treat like The Dark Canuck has become... (hopefully not too rare....)

I hope that in future tours (i know this is a stretch) that DP is the final song of the encore...closing each show....something about the EPIC'Ness of the song really works live.... I think its here to stay.

That's crazy talk. Last Recluse is the new Bobcaygeon. It sounds incredible live, and it was one of the songs they played pretty much every night on the '09 tour. It'll be around for a while.

I much favor the louder, heavier tunes and belive that LIAF and/or Frozen will stay in the main rotation going forward. I think all others will be replaced by the old staples and by the next crop of new tunes that come out.

i hope that they bring back country day...I loved it when i heard it at massey hall last spring....its a great closer, especially with the "gently drawing to a close" lines...
i would love to have it or the depression suite as the second to last encore song before they launch into blow, FITH or one of their other closers
