    Re: Rank the Big Whiskey Songs

    Baby Blue
    You and Me (see below)
    Why I Am
    Lying In The Hands of God
    Shake Me Like a Monkey
    Seven
    Funny The Way It Is
    Time Bomb
    Spaceman
    Dive In
    Squirm
    Alligator Pie

    Reading through this thread, I'm noticing 'You & Me' hasn't been receiving much love in peoples' rankings. It was near the bottom of my list on first listen to the album. I was bothered by the repetitiveness of the chorus and simplicity of the music. But...in the context of the album, it's a damn near perfect way to close.

    The album ends on such an emotional rollercoaster with the weighty themes in Alligator Pie, the exhausting ecstasy of Seven, and the explosive boiling point of Time Bomb (the culmination of all the extreme emotions touched on throughout the first 10 tracks).

    Baby Blue then follows as the moment of pause, quiet, fatigue, and reflection - the moment of solitude where all the weight of the world has finally crushed us, despite our best efforts. You can hear it in Dave's voice. He is a beaten man. To end the album like that would be to admit defeat.

    Then comes You & Me. Instead of the angry tone in Time Bomb, You and Me is a simple song of rebirth - taking what we've learned from hardships/failure and starting again with a renewed vision of the f'ed up world and appreciation for simplicity. The repetitive lyrics and beat are like our footsteps moving forward. Not running, not panicked, but with a clarity and calm that everything will be ok. The music is purposely less dynamic because our new life is less volatile emotionally.

    No matter what, we move on with life...and so too does this band.

    Re: Rank the Big Whiskey Songs

    Here is my new rankings....

    Lying in the Hands of God (no change still my favorite, I think it always will be)
    Seven (Big riser for me...liked it before, love it now)
    Squirm (this one goes up and down for me...love it on the album not as much live)
    Grux>Shake Me Like A Monkey(I get chills everytime now)
    Funny The Way It Is(I know its not a popular choise but it just reminds me of the time before the album came out and the mystery of everything also it is a GREAT single)
    Alligator Pie (Just freaking Rocks will never get old)
    Time Bomb ( Love it, just feels like it could be so much better that I can't fully appreciate it)
    Why I Am ( Great Tribute, Good song, makes me happy)
    Spaceman (I love the groove and the chorus still gets me up and singing.)
    Dive In (this one is a big faller for me...I still like it, it is just to bland to really have staying power)
    You and Me ( I find myself liking this one sometimes, but overall I just feel it is forced and could be much better)
    Baby Blue ( just too simple and its not that I don't like it, but when I put in the album its never what I am wanting to play)

    Not too different live, other than Funny would be above You & Me, Why I Am would jump up almost all the way to the top, and Squirm might go above Timbomb.
