I picked A Story About A Girl because I don't really like the lyrics in the second half of the chorus...

i voted "story about a girl" because i fell that raine held back his falsetto on that song, and i think it could be so much better.

I voted for 'Sell My Soul' .. it's a great song and I never skip over it or anything but that is the least fave of mine on the album .. I don't have a good reason for not liking it as much as the others :P

Will some one tell me who Jack Kerouac is? Maybe that will help me understand "all for you" a little bit more? That song just doesn't click with me.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I think I might go to the library for the first time in a couple years now to see who he is....and who voted for "Made of Steel?" That's a great song...

I am very sad.......I think that "Sell My Soul" is the best song on Gravity!!

Anyway I voted for "All For You" cause it's not as good as the others.

he was a beatnik in the 1950's that wrote the book "On the Road" which spoke out against the conformist fifty's which fits with the song when raine talks about the man at his door conformity(society) he won't let him into his life.... he won't conform.

I can't believe Sell My Soul has soooo many votes!!! I really like that song. I think it is one of the top songs on the album, kind of a personal anthem for me though, so I guess I can understand it.

Sell My Soul doesn't do much for me. It's a very good song, but the other nine are more to my liking.
But I agree we really shouldn't vote songs off Gravity, the album is short enough as it is now :wink:

i voted sell my soul. when i posted my review of gravity on the cc i refered to it is a 'stinker'. it is by far the very most commercial song they have ever done and it feels very insincere to me. i for one cannot fathom what would have caused them to record it.
