Now that Why I Am is the new single..
Doesn't it feel pretty damn good to have a very solid DMB song on the radio constantly?

    I never listen to the radio but I guess it is good having a very solid song represent the band on the radio.

    such a great song. probably the most solid song on the album and will likely be around for years to come, and deservedly so.

    Very much agreed. I love when, during the rare times I'm tuning in, that a DMB song comes on and I just get a goofy grin and sing along. Would love to do that with Why I Am. :)

    why I am is the most legit single for the band to have on the radio since too much.

    "Why I Am" is going to move albums for DMB. GREAT hearing them back in the mainstream with quality work, although I still maintain that "Funny the Way it Is" is a good song and more people would appreciate it if it wasn't the first single to receive extensive airplay.

    I mean, what was the first single off BTCS? Don't Drink? Sure that's a dmb classic, but not exactly radio friendly. I'm trying to think of songs that are better for the radio than Why I Am post-Crash. I honestly can't think of any.

    FTWII is no Why I Am. Not even in the same league.

    Yes, Crush, I somehow forgot about that one, thank you! Either way, Why I Am is certainly the best single to be on the radio in the past 10 years for DMB.

    I love the new change to "forever dancing with the GrooGrux King" when he sings it at the very end, it's sort of a send-off to the song and to Leroi which makes it a nice fit.

    I feel like other than Crash Into Me, Why I Am is by far the best single ever in terms of how listener friendly it is to people who don't follow DMB. Put yourself in their position and think of what DMB song you'd like most the first time you ever heard it.
