I was recently asked to help choose the songs for our senior class slideshow. I went through the usual list, always trying to stay a little outside the box (Finale b from Rent is a good example). Then I suggested a song nobody has heard of, and everybody loved it so much we have it as our grand finale: "Say Goodbye" by Skillet.
This then hit me that Skillet really missed an opportunity with this song. I have a feeling had they released this song to secular stations it would have done/be doing a LOT better than "Older I Get", especially because of it's tie-in with graduations, plus most people agree it's just a genuinely better song.
Why am I telling you all this? I don't know, I think I just needed to share my revaltion with sombody, and see how many people agreed that it was a real missed opportunity.

NOTE: This is NOT saying we shouldn't vote for or be incredibly supportive of "Older I Get", because we should.

Say Goodbye will most likely be their next single. ;)

Did you end up using the song for the slideshow?

I think this definitely is the strongest song for a more 'mainstream' audience. But I think Older also has a nice following. A lot of people I know who've listened to Skillet enjoy it.

To answer your question bob, yes, we did use it as the grand finale in the slideshow. It's getting premiered on Thursday.

Like Bob said, I think Say Goodbye is going to be the next single. So no worries.

Also, I love the way that the Older I Get is touching people to find healing in relationships, to choose forgiveness, mercy and grace. So I'm glad that it was chosen as a single.
