Favorite Enchant song and why: I'd have to say Comatose, at the moment anyway. I really love the feel of this song. Lyrically it tells the tale of someone drowning them self to escape from what someone else wants them to do. I was there for quite a long time so it hits a nerve every time I hear or play it. I get real emotional playing the solo as well. I think it comes across when you listen to it.
