Washington Square Park

 

Washington Square Park.

I'm surprised those were the final two.

 

I Was Scared & I'm Sorry.

 

Not surprised with WSP but Scared was a bit of a dark horse. Just listened to the two back to back and I know where I stand..

I Was Scared And I'm sorry

 

NCTH is going to be C & S and it won't even be close

 

I Was Scared

 

WSP and it's not even close

 

Washington Square Park, easily.

I Was Scared & I'm Sorry is my favorite TWY song, so that's easy.

 

I Was Scared And I'm Sorry

 

I Was Scared And I'm Sorry

That bridge gets me every time

 

Washington Square Park

My two favorites from the era. The "left a lot of blood in California" outro is one of the more memorable TWY moments but so is the Outback Steakhouse line and bridge in I Was Scared. Ultimately though I think WSP means just a bit more to me and is the better live song

 

Washington Square Park as it's simply the best pre-Suburbia song they did, and it's fantastic live.

I Was Scared is great though, and sits alongside Melrose Diner, Everything I Own and Hostels & Brothels as one of my favourites from that era of the band.

 

I Was Scared and I'm Sorry

WSP is such a great live song every time. It never grows old to me. "And they did." Best little throw-in to that song. All that to say, the message of I Was Scared is key to me. Just the idea of making progress, one small step at a time. All that as well as the lyrics Sarah Marshall, Outback, and the bridge make it for me.

 

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'M LOOKING FOR THE UPSIDESSSSSSSS (my vote is Washington Square Park)

 

Awkward moment when you spot yourself in this crowd. For people who weren't around for the earlier days or people who want to enjoy some nostalgia, you should check out Matt Brasch's YouTube channel mattbrasch

He filmed and edited a bunch of shows from Upsides and earlier.

 

I Was Scared & I'm Sorry

 

I think the title track on NCTH is a really beautiful song, just wish Soupy performed it in a more passionate way instead of the sleepy delivery.

(it just popped up on my Spotify radio)

 

I adore I Was Scared but WSP is without a doubt one of their best live songs, and could be argued to be their best live song, so I give it the edge for that reason.

 

His YouTube is filled with so many great videos

 

I'm just happy I got to see that performed on the headline last fall. I'm sure it'll pop up again on the headline this year. But I have since got the entire NCTH artwork tattooed on my chest along with the lyrics "No Matter Where I've Been The Futute Feels Bright."

 

so...tickets are $32 b/c of a $10 service fee. I guess I should be used to it by now?
