Not to mention, the song itself kicks total ass.

It really is no question in my mind that given another opportunity to play in public like that, I would pick Serenade without a second thought... even though I could get away with playing something much harder.

The problem I find with Serenade is that it ends abruptly, and when doing a song in performance, ending abruptly may not get the best reception. R^2 uses a more drawn out ending for files, but R^3 cuts that timing in half, and songs like Serenade still end abruptly, even if done in R^2, because people don't use fade-outs fast enough for FFR..

If it didn't end abruptly, I definitely would have considered the song when I did it way back then.
