Here We Are, for sure. I'm surprised it's such an overwhelming winner here, given that it seems to get a lot of hate in other threads. or am I thinking of "We're Still Here"?

Here we are is a good song, but in my mind is on a studio album. Even if it is in video form. Either way, ASPOL gets my vote.
Gotta agree. ASPOL is one of jimmys best written songs in recent years. its a shame its never played.i love here we are but the line about dave matthews and the 2nd version of the song im not a fan of.

By itself, ASPOL is a pretty good song. However, the first time I listened to it was immediately after I finished reading the book, and it struck me as a cheesy, musical version of the book... Guess that kind of tainted it for me right away.

A Salty Piece Of Land by far. It was recorded for LTC and it's an excellent tune.

I've never gotten Here We Are. It comes off as a pat on the back that's a little smug. It sounds like filler.
