I dont think All For You would do good on the radio - its just not a radio song. Its like my second favorite on the album, just dont think it's succeed on mainstream radio.

Even if All for You doesn't clean up on radio it still may introduce a new dynamic to OLP that some haven't heard before..............at least not on Gravity. I think it would be a solid single, even if personally I find Do You Like It? more catchy, Not Enough to be smoother, and Story About A Girl just be more rockin............still its a good song and different from the ones out there. Gosh, my opinions suck.......I like every song.

I agree with ya cor3y.......as much as I can tell that the world loves "All For You", it lacks the mainstream potential.

But I too....luv the song. It would be #4 or #5 on my list of favs on the album...

O.K. I don't know why you guys think AFY is not good for a single but I think it's the very best choice!!! I would NOT like to see Not Enough as a single. Choose AFY!!! :mrgreen: I bet they are, all signs on websites such as www.ourladypeace.net and oma has big stuff related to the song AFY. Anyway, I just totally love the song

STory ABout A girl is the only song off of Gravity that has made it to my "best OLP songs ever" list, BUT I don't think it would make a very good single. ALL of Gravity is just one big single, except that song. I can imagien any of tehothers as a single...Sorry, Not Enough, and ESPECIALLY ALL FOR YOU and Do you like it? SOm,ebody on the OMA board said Not Enough is the next single...and i can see that. Here are the four osngs off gravity they played at the pre-party thing and don't you think they would chose osngs that were potential singles: all for you, do you like, innocent, somewhere out there and not enough. two of the five have already been release(SOT was released at the time and inoocent was going to be) so i think basically, it will be one of the three remaining.
I'm SO excited about them doing new material! Maybe Raine will write and recprd osme kick ass songs on his month off....CANT WAIT!

most Dj's on radio stations agree that Not Enough is the best single off of a gravity, i have heard it more on sports shows as well. Not Enough in my opinion is one of the most powerful songs olp has wrote in a rock and roll sense. The others being Naveed and 4am. All For you is also another great song, i would like to see either one as the next single, but i would say Not Enough would be the biggest of them all.

Yeah, Not Enough is damn solid.......and all the points above are hard to refute. I guess Story About A Girl is just a kick ass song to me.........but its a song best left untouched by radio than so be it. Gravity is pretty loaded with singles anyway.

I think Do You Like It? would be the most sucessful single b/c it would hit the VH1 and MTV audiences. I would personally rather see Sorry or All For You, but those don't appeal to the adult contemporary crowd and that's what a single is all about.
