    A lot of dislike towards Parachutes.. must not be alot of Beatles fans here.. The song takes a little getting used to, but I think its one of their more beautiful songs.

    I love the Beatles!!!I grew up on them!!...but PJ are not the Beatles...and Parachutes isn't good enough to be a PJ song nevermind a Beatles song....but that is just my opinion.
    The lyrics pulled the song together for me. I wasn't a fan of it at first, but when I really listened to the lyrics, and visualized myself just floating though the clouds in a parachute, the song really found its place.

    Why deny
    All the troubles when combined
    With the missing links
    It don't feel like
    Home now,...

    That you're gone
    All the troubles
    suddenly explained infinitum
    You're always wishing and
    Never here at
    Home

    You
    All the dreams we shared and
    Lights we turned on
    But the house is getting dark

    And I don't want to know your past
    But together share the dawn
    And I won't need

    Nothing else
    Cause when we're dead
    We would've had it all

    And died
    I would've fallen from the sky
    Til you
    Parachutes have opened now

    Heaven knows if there's a ceiling
    come so low with the kneeling
    Please know that
    I got

    All the friends I'm needing
    Before my light goes out
    As the doors are closing now

    And far away will be my home
    And to grasp this, I don't know
    And I don't need

    Further back and forth, a wave will break on me today
    And love,... Wish the world could go again with love
    One cant seem to have enough
    And war,.... Break the sky and tell me what it's for
    I'll travel there on my own
    And love,.... What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    Really? Black on a least favorite PJ song list?? Not to question your opinion, but what is it about Black you dont like? Overplayed?

    I don't really have a "least 5", but you could make one hell of a shitty album combining some of the crap from Lost Dogs/Riot Act/Self Titled

    Combination of a few things. I never really liked it a whole lot to begin with, it became overplayed and I've heard the butchered cover versions of it, which really kinda taints it for me. I get skewered on the board for my opinion about this song (U R A Crazy Breed & dimitrispearljam), but that's cool. :mrgreen:

    soo cause i don't like a few "hits" i should quit being a fan, thats funny. who the fuck are YOU to decide someones fandom. i'm sorry i didn't know pj has rules of being a fan. the elitism on here will never change and it's very SAD people like YOU are apart of the fanbase.

    Green Disease
    Unemployable
    Help Help

    That's pretty much it, unless we are counting Whale Song, etc.

    Having said that, I will add that Green Disease and Unemployable both sounded pretty good in Philly.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
