      A few recent listens on my car-drives to and from work recently have allowed me to realize that this song is too good to be dismissed as filler, which I'd previously concluded. It's a solid song. Fellow fans: If you had the power to add it to NEW, where would it fit best in your opinion?

        I took to that one right way though it sounds a bit unpolished

            I'd put it after 'Everybody Out There' and remove 'Hosanna'. ... 8-Everybody Out There 9-Demons Dance 10-I Can Bet ...

                Happy to remove the "much-heralded" and ultimately disappointing Hosanna for the sound of "someone breathing"..... can't say I am a big fan of Demons Dance, though.... even now through retrospect... nothing more than a B-side for me... if that. Not worthy of a slot on an album.... Still, might not be as bad as "Scared".....

                        While Scared is not my favorite, I find it very emotional and raw in the lyrics. It is Paul really putting his feelings out there in the open.

                              I've 86'd it.

                              I 86'ed it...then put it back on the menu. Now that I think of it: I wonder if there's decent audio from its lone soundcheck performance at Bonnaroo 2013.

                                  I've been biting my nails lately, so the excruciating sound of them down a blackboard are diminishing. Still, "either" or "either" are just ahead of Scared!

                                    I had to grab my CD and play "Scared" because -- my hand to The Almighty -- I have zero clue how it goes. I just don't like it. Plus, "Get Me Out Of Here" is a GREAT way to end the album while leaving you wanting more. But "Scared" ain't the one, baby. Incidentally, "Scared" has a Chaos... vibe to it, though.

                                          Hosanna is one of the highlights of the album as well as Scared. The album is perfect as is. Demons Dance is what it is...a fun secondary tune for hardcore fans. Not even nearly in the same league as Hosanna

                                            Hosanna is a lovely song. A highlight indeed.
