Leaving it off the album still baffles me.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Yeah, absolutely. I've said it in another thread, NWTL is the second best Blackbird song for me, after the title track of course. It's crazy that they made it a B-Side.

Sometimes, bands don't realize how good some of their songs actually are.

Could have different reasons as well. I think they didn't put Home on ABIII because its theme is way too similar to Coeur d'Alene's (at least I believe I've read that somewhere, but I'm not sure), although it's an extremely amazing song.

I was talking about NWTL.
Home and Zero are not album material as far as I'm concerned.

If Breathe Again is then Home most definitely is.

To each his own, I guess. That's the beauty of music.
I'm not even sure Schlip is worthy to be on an album, to be honest.

I know, I just used Home as an example. There could be a similar reason for NWTL.

By the way, Home is awesome and so much better than Breathe Again, which is the weakest ABIII song by so far. Actually forgot it when I said that YWBR and My Champion are the weakest ballads AB have ever put out. Breathe Again is even weaker.
