    I love this song and it may be my favorite off the album. Kind of a toss up between this and Snow Outside.

    Love the studio cut, but it does not translate live for whatever reason. Perhaps because they don't give it a chance. But Dave can't sing this like it is on the album, and it feels empty on stage. Unfortunate.

    I like this song, but to me, it sounds like the most non-DMB DMB song in the whole catalog.

    I guess I can see where you're coming from. As far as overall sound, yeah it's different, but the following lets me know it is DMB:

    - baritone sax
    - violin solo
    - the synchronization of bass with bass drum in the chorus, signature Stefan/Carter
    - the last notes of the song

    Yeah, I get that, and I agree. I guess maybe for a causal fan, they wouldn't know.

    I think what made me say it in the first place was the fact that Tim seems to be the one in the lead. His guitar part really makes the song sound different than any other DMB song.

    This song hits hard live. I keep watching the Izod live debut and it’s so so good. Also hearing the crowd singing the chorus loudly is amazing. Bring this song back!

    If I had to rank my favorite studio songs from DMB, this would probably be in the Top 5. It is absolutely flawless. I listen to it 6 years later and I still get chills

    Broken Things is probably in my top 5 as well, as is Snow Outside. Broken Things is such a unique song that only this band can make. Besides a classic sounding song like Ants, if a song were the definition of DMB's sound, I would say Broken Things. The drumming, the guitar, the sax, the violin, the bass, all of it.

    Re: Broken Things

    I honestly forget about almost every song on the album except for Broken Things. I put the album on earlier and every track after Broken Things went:
    Belly Belly Nice - oh yeah that was an album song
    Mercy - oh that was the single. Forgot about that
    Gaucho - I haven't heard this song since 2013
    Sweet - why was this on the album?
    The Riff - what is this again?
    Belly Full - oh yeah that one. Forgot about that too
    If Only - holy shit this was a thing! Wow I forgot this ever existed.
    Rooftop - that was on the album too that's right
    Snow Outside - why did I think this was from Some Devil?
    Drunken Soldier - oh. This.

    I think Dave really should've played the songs more, or maybe its because we haven't been inundated with AFTW-centric live releases like we were with Big Whiskey, but I forget this album exists quite often. Which is a shame because it's not a bad album, but it has almost zero live presence.

    Broken Things could be a song about someone who’s struggling with meth addiction.

    Dave hates the album.

    He sucks at catering to his fans and no wonder they have the lack of crowds like they used to.

    Yep. Take Taylor Swift for example. She interacts with her fans constantly and sometimes acknowledges concert requests. It is no accident that she literally sells out every single show and just had the highest grossing tour ever.

    Back in the day, DMB was more popular because they were still new or new-ish and all of their music was great, but I don't feel like they ever interacted with their fans that well.

    Broken Things is a top DMB song for me and it is a fucking travesty it is never played live.

    They need to give us a few more ‘12 and ‘13 shows as LTs to give us this song with Boyd perpetually. Or just release 11.30.12.

    Honestly, this song isn’t that good live. The 2 live versions released on Warehouse discs are kinda meh.

    This is a strong song on AFTW, though.
