So, I have this thing when I really connect with a song, it gives me chills. Every PJ album has at least one or two for me.

At this point, it's Amongst the Waves.

Anyone else have this affliction?

    right now for me it is just breathe.
    i'm thinking quite possibly it has replaced strangest tribe as the most beautiful song ever written.
    just possibly :D

    Just Breathe, Unthought Known, Speed of Sound and The End.

    GSMF, Johnny Guitar and Supersonic have me dancing around the car which is the equivalent to me.

    I was totally not expecting this AT ALL after the first listen, but Amongst the Waves keeps getting me. I gotta say, something about the surging chorus build gets me every time. I can't stop going back to this track.

    The End "nearly" made me cry when i just listened it to it now and read the words, Eddies voice sounds heartbreaking :(
    Black, the greatest without a doubt........

    none of them ;/
    In July 2007 Densmore said that he would not rejoin The Doors unless it was fronted by Eddie Vedder. Densmore says, "I play with Jim. If there's someone of that level, OK. I'm not gonna join them with Ian. That's not to diss Ian, he's a good singer - but he's no Jim Morrison. Eddie Vedder? My God, there's a singer."

    For some strange reason I got it during the last 30 seconds of Speed of Sound when it goes all stereo.

    Amongst the Waves gets me every time. Some other ones do as well, but that one in particular is a true winner. I really hope I get that one in Philly on Halloween.

    RIVAL here sounds like our old, well-known Eddie from Ten and Vs

    But whole song - Force of Nature and Unthought Known

    Amongst the waves & The End in particular. This entire records is incredibly moving. I understand why Jeff said these are the best lyrics ever.

    Force of Nature specifically, the part leading up to and including...."makes me ache, makes me shake".

    Chills is a negative effect no? so i think The End has to be the track.. the others are quite upbeat etc

    Just Breathe
    Amongst the Waves
    Unthought Known
    And, surprisingly, The Fixer.

    Yup. That's a prime example of how Ed can take even a hum-drum phrase or line to a whole higher place.

    chills in this context is not meant to be negative. it means a song/verse/lyric/whatever that is so intense, so moving, so meaningful to you personally, that you literally get this chill / shiver sensation through your body. it might last a second, it might come and go, it might last for almost a whole song.

    !!!amongst the waves!!!
    listen to this loud and learn the words - it makes my whole body tingle, gives me a lump in my throat, and makes my eyes water - "i gotta say it now, better loud than too layeeyayate..."
    it's been so long since any pj song made me feel like this - whole album is sensational.

    Just Breathe, Amongst the Waves, and Unthought Known (strongest string of songs on the album) decidedly get the hair on ends feeling when you're really engaging them. But man alive, I was listening to The End at work yesterday and reading along with the lyrics, and I got all misty eyed. For me it's up there with Unemployable's 'Thinking if he can't sleep how will he ever dream?' (that line always breaks me down... I'm misty just now thinking about it)...
    I wanna live my life with the volume full!

    I like how you said songs :)

    Let's see...

    Just Breathe
    Amongst the Waves
    Unthought Known
    Speed of Sound
    Force of Nature
    The End

    That may just be the most "chilling" record to date :)
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
