Selami, āwisawi!

After our last post about sequencing a month or two ago, I read a lot of the comments and many of them got me thinking. I scrambled a few things around and am now on a "Version C" that is my current favorite, so I thought I'd share:

Version C:
Never Go Alone
Punch Drunk Destiny
A New Brain
One and Done
Lighthouse On The Sea OR Oh The Places You'll Go
Artifact
Not Done Yet
The Devil You Know
Burning It Down (probably, or else a B side)
While We're Still Young
Good Morning, Sunlight

It seems like some small tweaks to the first half, but I think opening with "Never Go Alone" really changes the whole vibe of the album and the more I've listened through this sequence the more into it I become.

Plus now we've actually released adventure things around Lighthouse on the Sea so you can follow along at home.

Vocal tracking instructions coming soon to folks at the "voice on the album" level - potentially next week, but definitely soon since we're almost done with vocals and likely going to head into mixing soon!

I'll just repeat everyone's opinions here that you should keep "Oh The Places You'll Go," and that applies to "Burning It Down" as well. I also still think that "While We're Still Young" should be the last track, for the reasons I already stated in the last post on sequencing, with it just being extremely fitting as a finale. Otherwise, I think this version is a winner.

My question is WHY? What is your reasoning for only keeping one of them? I'm sure if you have a logical reason ie doesn't fit with the tone of the rest of the album, everyone would understand. However, with an either/or it seems like only one will be kept arbitrarily. They're both great!
