Because it's there. It's intelligent how the song connects The Path and Somebody at the middle of the album, but the others are better.. If I remember well this song arrived 5th the last survivor, it seems now that it won't probably reach the finals
Because It's There finished in fourth place last year, won the Consolation rounds and ended up in 5th place in the Finals, even beating out Atlas Stone on the way in the Finals (from which it lost in the album rounds). It would be strange if it would go out this early, only a year later.
Ah well, it's my personal second favourite from the album, but the majority of the people decide otherwise, apparently.
