Eagles Song Survivor: The Long Run

It's a tough choice, but someone (all of us) has got to make it...
I vote off I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY.

This is really, really tough.

The Long Run is the title track of the album and, to me, an important lyric in encapsulating the journey of the band. It's got an upbeat sound, and I love Don's vocals. I get a kick out of watching him perform it live now. He gets really into it towards the end, and it makes me realise that it's actually a very soulful track.

Heartache Tonight is a song that you just have to turn up. Glenn's voice is perfect for it - smooth but rocky and bluesy. I love the slow drum/clapping sound at the beginning and the singalong feel. It's another awesome song to hear live, and when it gets to the "we can beat around the bushes" part, you can't help but rock along with it! It's pure Eagles.

I Can't Tell You Why is a stunning soul ballad. It has a gorgeous, moody feel to it and Tim's clear vocals are a perfect complement to his deep bassline. I love the lyrics, and I enjoy the extended instrumental period at the end of the song... It's sexy and tender and you can't help but drift away a little bit. Again, it shows you how much soul the Eagles actually have.

I am finding it very hard to separate these last three. Maybe one last listen will help!

As much as I love the last three songs, including the one I am voting for, it's just a no brainer for me on which one I need to vote for now. And if this one goes, the last 2 is a win win situation for me really. I won't care which way it goes after this round.

I vote for The Long Run.

PM, thank you for your understanding... I did not want to see ITC go either, but like you said, we can enjoy it when we want! :thumbsup:

Troub, I agree with pretty much everything you said about the final three. Two days ago, I was sure how I wanted the final three to go. (Even though a three-way tie would have worked too:)) However, last night, I gave them a final listen. To my surprise, I changed my mind. This round is easier than I thought!

I vote for The Long Run to go this round. You are a fantastically wonderful song, with much meaning behind you... you are not forgotten.

Alright, I guess I have to make a decision sometime! So... with regret, I vote for Heartache Tonight. I had a final listen to them earlier and, I don't know, my heart was telling me to vote this way. I think all the songs are equal in merit, but it just comes down to how I FEEL about them.

I vote for the Long Run.

As I always do, I have music going. Today it's the radio. This morning they played Heartache Tonight, now they are playing The Long Run and I just want to yell at the radio, "STOP IT---I've already voted you off!!!!" :hilarious: It really is a great song!

LOL, Willie! I know. I listened to the final three earlier, made my decision to vote off Heartache Tonight... then realised, ten minutes later, that I was singing HT to myself. Haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Talk about a guilt trip!

I vote for 'The long run'.

I guess I will go with Heartache Tonight, but I really like that song. dang:-(
