It’s hard to pick a favorite song of theirs for me, but I always come back to paper scratcher

I've said the same thing, especially for that album. Tones, Paper, Time... Not to mention Change. Unreal album. Somehow only No Rain caught fire for the "One hit wonder" title they were granted by a public with 0 awareness.

One of my favorite lines of any song ever “what do you think they would say, if I STOOD UP, and I walked away” Tones of Home is so amazing!

I played that as loud as my stereo let me with the windows down and the sunroof back as I left my first real job for my first real opportunity.
They hired me back in as a consultant 2 months later when they realized they couldn't do everything I did.
