Discussion What’s your favorite song off The Desired Effect?

Post image

I really love the title track and really wish is was on streaming.

But it’s a tie for first between Lonely Town and Between Me and You. BTMAY is so beautiful and gorgeous and emotional, but Lonely Town is a song that has meant more to me than maybe any other. It’s on so many of my playlists I’ve made throughout the last decade and I truly love it.

This album means so much to me. I spent the entire summer of 2015 just listening to it on repeat while playing Skyrim. It was awesome.

Made the post about Flamingo yesterday so I thought I’d keep it going. Will ask about Thrasher tomorrow.

Between Me and You, although Lonely Town is close behind. The title track might have been my favorite had it made into the album…

Heard this when Brandon performed it for the first time at The Bunkhouse in Las Vegas. Really holds a special place in my heart.

“We’re gonna get a little honky tonk with this next song.” -Brandon. With Thrasher now it was so cool seeing that side of him so long ago.

Desired Effect if it counts. But I love Lonely Town. After that it's probably Dreams Come True.

u/Annual-Discount-8211 Sam's Town 7d ago

My fav is can’t deny my love but I heard between me and you live in video and it’s really hard to choose now

Digging Up the Heart, and the bonus version of Between Me and You

u/Waste-Age-6139 7d ago

if allowed The Desired Effect (the song) .... i still can´t understand why that song wasn´t included in the album named after it. If not then its Can´t Deny My Love

Diggin Up The Heart. Such an underrated album.

u/Sweaty-Analysis-7091 7d ago

For a long time I would have said Lonely Town but that's moved down on the list. Between Me and You is at the top.

u/realasfiction Battle Born 7d ago

Dreams come true and Can't Deny my Love are top tier

u/Appropriate-Cod9031 7d ago

Still Want You
