Sequencing my album (song order) today; i think it was harder than writing some of the songs! some people say the album is dead, but I still think of albums like a did as a kid..take me people on a trip thru approx. 12 songs..peaks, valleys, segues, climaxes.

Very good read on that article. Its kind of gives us a view of what the future may of held for LIVE if they did not break up. I am confused by one thing though. The article read in one place that Forever and Purifier was going to be on the upcoming album. Did they mean the Paradiso album or were they to be included in the new album as well? Hmmm... I also wonder what songs that will appear on Ed's album were meant for the upcoming LIVE album? Im sure Everlasting Love was one that was already written just by Chad Gracey's comments earlier. Maybe an early unmixed recording of Believe will pop up one day from LIVE. That would be a good gem!

No, if I remember correctly, Ed stated that they recorded Forever and Purifier to give the fans some new songs in between, so that we didnt have to wait for a full new album to hear new songs. And I think I readsomewhere they were especially for 'LATP', but Ed used the songs the show which direction they were taking.

Im sure Everlasting Love was one that was already written just by Chad Gracey's comments earlier.

How do you mean, didnt he call it really "Ed's new song". I doubt he would bash the song the way he did, as it was supposed to be his song at a certain moment.

By that, I'm quite sure 'Zion' was going to be a new Live song, which Ed tried out at some of his solo shows early 2009. he told someone backstage he couldnt wait to 'add the band in the song', while there wasn't any talking about his new band or a break-up at all. So he must have meant LIVE. I think Grace would actually fit LIVE very well, with some awesome Chad Taylor guitar riffs in it. Although I like the song now as well.
