Are there any Live songs that you think the band missed the mark on and you wish that you could go back and redirect them to redo the songs?

There are two songs that I always thought rocked and could have been HUGE hits but Live totally fucked up - Sun and Flow. If the changes I mentione were made these would be two of the best songs Live ever did. Instead they're songs I can't listen to.

When I heard the music of each song the very first time I was thinking "Holy Shit" this is awesome - this song fucking rocks. But then, as quickly as I started falling in love with them, the songs self destructed.

I absolutely love everything about Sun except for this:

sun sun merciful one
sun sun
sun sun won't you lay down your light on us
sun sun


I think this is the worst mistake Ed made lyrically during his time with Live. I think if you could go back and just cut this part out, or re-pen these cheesy lines and improve them at all, you would have an instant Live hit. The music is absolutely awesome as well as the rest of the song. I always hoped that some alternative version of this song with a different refrain would appear.

Flow is a huge disappointment to me because this, with Simple Creed, would have made V a respectable album. I also think Flow would have been a huge single. I love everything about this song musically and lyrically until Ed starts screaming "Flow". It's totally unnecessary in song and it ruins it. It's like nails on chalkboard. If I could find a way to edit the Flow sceams out this song would be phenominal.

Anyway - do you have any opinion on my songs or any songs of your own you wish Live would have done slightly differently?
