        That riff is great. I couldn't really hear the lyrics at the variety but the delivery is great on the soundboard.

        WHOOOOOOOOO! SPAFFORD!

          Has a Julius feel to me. Cool tune.

            I love the syncopated rhythm. Gets better with each listen. When I saw it live I heard a lot of feedback throughout, which Brian really played with tonally. Its honestly an awesome song. I love @RadiantDarkness saying its got a ‘teasable riff’. If totally does.

            WHOOOOOOOOO! SPAFFORD!

              This was a perfect opener for Red Rocks and the highlight of this show for me! I know many people will say the postman>weasel was the best moment, but I feel this song was spot on for that moment and venue. Even though I couldn’t attend the show, I can close my eyes during Broken Wing and be transported between those rocks!
              Great call on this amazing song @RadiantDarkness

                It's my new favorite. It eclipsed Lovesick Melody/Soil, which in turn eclipsed Eternity, which in turn eclipsed Shake You Loose and All In. Notice a pattern? Apparently I'm a big fan of Jordan's writing. Don't get me wrong, I'm picking favorites among favorites, but I tend to lean towards Jordan's work. Broken Wing is something else.

                It's got that signature Chuck style longing in the lyrics and Brian (and the boy's) treatment of the music is sublime.

                Love it! Looking forward to hearing it in rotation more. Red Rocks gave it... dare I say... wings.

                  Safe to say, I was ecstatic when it clicked that they were opening Red Rocks with Broken Wing.

                    @ke11en_it I agree... the show had a lot of awesome but that opening jam/broken wing seemed to fully and perfectly embody the bigness of the moment
