I’d maybe forgive if Breathe missed out on the top 10 by 1 place but 16th is just rude
I will only allow Natalie to go before the top 10.
I am sorry. But there is too much talent to simply set them outside of the top 10. Yes. I am advocating for 14 tracks in the top 10. Who cares about maths? I do not. Let's do this.

This is exactly why "Breathe" is one of my favorite songs ever. @livefrommelbs just describe it perfectly. So sad to se my 11 leaving :(
Given the way people here don't seem to have a huge amount of time for Alanis, I have a horrible feeling she's up soon. Also "Behind these hazel eyes", despite being one of Kelly's masterworks, will probably get eliminated by people who don't get "My December" and we'll be stuck with her other songs.
*Breathe gets eliminated*
*Listens to 'Breathe' to soothe disdain*
I genuinely don't really want any of the tracks left to go - but I am pleasantly surprised Ms. Imbruglia has made it this far!

If Alanis goes any time soon then my hands will be far from clean.
Behind These Hazel Eyes won her discography rate on here so I'd it's definitely going to last a good while longer. It's her best song, so you'd certainly hope so.
He/Him
These are songs I have left under the current average we are working with (they got an 8.5 or below) so they can go!
I was ragging on a couple John Shanks' (very rare) bad productions a few pages back. 'Breathe' is the complete opposite of those criticisms. It might be his most perfect production to me.
This is so true @livefrommelbs. At one of my lowest points in the early 00s whenever 'Breathe' came on in the department store radio I mindlessly folded shirts to (only to have them usually immediately unfolded by customers... my retail Sisyphean nightmare) , my spirit was immediately lifted. 'Breathe' & 'Breathe Your Name' by Sixpence are tied together in my mind for this reason (and as such two of my favorite songs of all-time.)

Nobody's Home was Avril's third single from her second album Under My Skin.
It was released in 2004 and charted at #4 in Canada.
The song was co-written by Avril and former Evanescence guitarist, Ben Moody, who also plays guitar on the song.
@Epic Chocolat (8.5) - Favorite part: "broken inside" !
@saviodxl (9.9) - *Tries to enter in a random car when it rains just to recreate the music video*
@berserkboi (10) - A song that gets better with every listen! The emotion, the bite! WOW!
@Memoria (10) - Peak moody Avril.
@Sprockrooster (10) - This song achieved the most 11’s in my poprock rate and for that alone I feel like it should have been the winner of that rate. I mean the sheer power those lyrics and vocals have alongside Ben Moody being the king of gothpoprock in production is simply everything falling into place. I will never not cry when listening to this.
@theincredibleflipper (10) - This is connected to a suicide in my family and it hurts a lot. I also feel weird to rate every single Avril song 10, but that was a single run if I ever saw one.
@livefrommelbs (10) - Man, Avril sings the HELL out of this chorus. Her power has always been in her ability to convey emotion so strongly while still making accessible pop-rock, and 'Nobody's Home' is one of the most faultless examples of that. What a song.
@DJHazey (10) - As you can probably tell by my scores here, my knack for loving buried gems is still present even when we discuss one of my all-time favorite artists. When it comes to Avril’s music, my Top 10 will have songs on it that a lot of people wouldn’t have in their Top 30. I’m only talking about this because I feel like everyone always seems to forget how much of a masterpiece Nobody’s Home is. Among Avril’s songs in this rate, I might say this is the least heralded, especially by casual fans. (Checking my rate I see it finished #8 but again I just don’t feel like it ever gets enough attention!) For me, it’s the one that I’d call an 11 contender. Those opening instrumentals and Avril’s first vocals induce goosebumps every time. It’s amazing to think about what this 19 year old was capable of by bringing something like this to the table. It’s really daring for her to write a song about such a ‘real world’ topic, which hit home for me in many ways so I’ve always felt really close to it. Just imagine the artists who could’ve really impacted the charts even more than Avril did, armed with a weapon like this. It really should be one of the cornerstone chapters when the History of Avril Lavigne hits bookshelves in 2050, but sadly it will be but a footnote.
