Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!

I'm not going to bother choosing. It's an impossible poll!

what about in repair?

its not that complicated but i still love it....
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

The live Hope performance would own all unconditionally.

I chose Lying Awake. How could I not?
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.

What solo? I know that song inside and out and I don't know about any significant guitar solo... around when does it play?

Can't believe I missed that one... I'll add it in.

:nod: Sorry. That is one heckuva solo though.

I don't know if it counts, but Made to Heal has some of my favourite guitar themes of all time. I love that part on the guitars after Raine says "heal" in the chorus.
