I think "The Watchman's Gone" will always be my favorite, due to the exquisite interplay between Gord's 12 string and Terry's 6 string, but "She's Not The Same" has risen to the number 2 position for quite some time. Something about the chord structure, steel guitar, and restrained synthesizer/electric piano really gets to me. And of course, Gord's voice all during "Shadows" is just burnished and full. I love that song. What Gord is conveying in the lyrics, is secondary, sorry if that's wrong.
