I'm going track by track with my favorite parts...
1. In a World Like This - It's hard to pick a favorite part of this song because I adore every moment of it, but my two favorite parts are the "free falling, free falling" parts and Brian's long high note that he holds over the chorus toward the end. ("In a world like THIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIS...")
2. Permanent Stain - Kevin's solo! "Wash away the tide..." Beautiful!!!
3. Breathe - This song is like In a World Like This, in that the whole thing is catchy, but I love Brian's ad libs at the end!
4. Madeleine - AJ's verse, especially "And wonder where the ships would go..." That part is just fun to sing! The fanfic writer in me also likes the part after that about writing it in a notebook, saying it would someday be a story to tell.
5. Show 'Em (What You're Made Of) - Kevin's verse! I like it lyrically, but I also love the passion you can hear in his voice. I think that is the point I started tearing up the first time I heard this. I just remember him tearing up as he talked about the inspiration behind this song at the fan event.
6. Make Believe - The whole "If we close our eyes, let our hearts collide, leave the world outside, leave it all behind" part that builds and adds in the harmonies. That is goosebumps-worthy beautiful!!!
7. Try - Right now my favorite part of this song is when it's over LOL.
8. Trust Me - My favorite parts of this song are the funny lines. "Take me to the disco, make me dance" and "Makin' sweet sexy babies." They make me giggle every time!
9. Love Somebody - I love the cavemen part, not only lyrically but harmonically as well. I also love the stanza about wearing his favorite jersey and knocking over her beer, especially when Nick adds, "You know I love you baby!"
10. One Phone Call - I love so many parts in this song, but the one I'm enjoying singing along to most right now would be "I'm gonna leave a message at the tone... begging pretty baby, please come home." I really love the subchorus (the "twenty-five to life" part) and Nick's part in the bridge, especially "But if you do... at least you knew..."
11. Feels Like Home - I love the first two verses of this song, both the Kentucky and Mexican parts - I couldn't wait until I had the lyrics down so I could sing along! My other favorite part is shouting "FREAK!" after the "dancing like a freak" line LOL.
12. Soldier - This whole song is catchy, but my favorite part is "But somebody shot you down, right in the middle of a war outside..."
And then, of course, there's the part from Take Care that I mentioned in my last post, which may be my favorite part of the entire CD! "I won't tell a soul if you cry; I can hold you while you cry, you know!" I love Kevin's verse before that part, too. "The stakes are high, but we'll reach higher!" And when they repeat the chorus with all the harmony added in underneath, it gives me goosebumps! LOVE!!!
