Yeah...I'm going to be difficult and name more than one.

1. Queen of Leaves

Like someone said above, lovely song. There's only a poorer quality live version available, but even with that it sounds beautiful/dreamy.

2. Lost at Sea

That was a personal love when I first got the album but I noticed through other threads its lower on most people's list. Plus they hardly play it live it seems.

3. One Day I Slowly Floated Away

It took me awhile to appreciate this song. I liked it, but it wasn't until I read some interpretations on this board that I really appreciated whatever the song was trying to depict (or not trying, but ended up depicted in our minds anyway.) It flew up on the greatness list for me, but its still one that I never heard live or talked about AS much.

Queen of Leaves has definitely always been one of my favorites, and I'm upset that they never play it live and hardly anything's ever said about it. It's so beautiful.

Second, I have to say One Day I Slowly Floated Away... It seems like they NEVER play this live! Do they not like it? Idk, but it's one of my favorites and my sister and I have some good memories together tied to it.



Oh and I have to slightly disagree about The Escaping Song. It's one of my favorites aswell, but I don't think it's underrated. They play it live VERY often, and unlike songs like Queen Of Leaves it does have good live recordings and that new studio version.

Ditto. They've played it live, what, twice? And nobody talks about it. That outro is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

Me too.

I wonder if Boyd has any recordings of them playing it live. I bet he does!

Oh and I agree with everyone talking about Brightly Wound- It's such a lovely song, why don't the band like it/play it more often?

I heard an acoustic version on The Escaping Song that Eisley did on a
college radio station and it brought me to tears it was so amazingly beautiful. Very Happy

I totally agree- Those vocal parts are seriously amazing.

This is probably my favorite Eisley song, but I don't really think it is underrated.
