3. top 3/5 braid lyrics.
        1.:: if we're so clever / if we're so ever wanting leverage / then how come i'm crying eleven feet from your bedside
        2.:: wax wings prepare for takeoff / with the engine beneath the ribs / and the wind sings
ballads of balance / can you hear me? / wax wins i surrender / and i know that icarus loves me / and there are no stars above me / i melt into the sun
        3.:: it was a wonderful puddle that I played in / and I was so young when it hit me / in no one you can believe
        4.:: you're lucky to be alive (the entire lyric)
        5.:: never will forget minuet / never had a reason to

        Never got to watch them live, since i live far away, and since Frame and Canvas was the first braid record i listened... i think it's the album Frame and Canvas.

7. moment(s) that braid was the soundtrack for your life:
        Braid IS the soundtrack of my life... in all relationships, everytime i'm walking around the city thinking about nothing, at work... there's always something that i relate to a braid song.

8. what braid song(s) take you back to a certain moment?
        A dozen roses and I keep a Diary always remember me of the time i broke up with a long-time girlfriend.
        What a wonderful Puddle and Strawberry Ann remembers me when i was dating a girl, and i was so much into it, but ended up heartbroke...
        and a lot of other songs and memories...

9. favorite braid member and why:
