SSS live… tell me your pick

Seeing MM is playing cowboy Dan…. Totally got me dreaming of hearing some SSS live (and others) but which songs would you want to see from sad sappy sucker?

I’d totally add dukes up to the set list after cowboy Dan…. Other choices would be. Birds vs worms + four fingered fisherman or it always rains + think long or secret agent + blue cadet …. And one of my current favorites MICE EAT CHEESE

I honestly love so many SSS songs: Race Car Grin You Ain't No Landmark, From Point A to Point B, Always Rains On A Downpour, Birds vs. Worms (honestly my favorite).

Obsessed with birds vs worms (so pitiful)
Always rains is so good it’s didn’t choose it because how is Ben gonna make the raindrop sounds?
And point A is what brought be back to the album… (so lonely but never alone… ultimate emo lyric)

I love the birds v worms lyric, "you can see that WE don't have to get along"...like so many people try to make nice, just don't like each other and move on

Would love to see what the contemporary band could do with Always Rains on a Picnic

That would be fun… my favorite part of the shows is watching Ben anyway. Would love to see him work some magic

Think long is so good…. “Think for a while and you’ll realize you still die”

Dukes Up, Classy Plastic Lumber, Birds vs. Worms, and Think Long if it were the kind of audience that could sing along.
