Listening to it now. What a great song, esp when he starts to sing...

"Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow.
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow."

    I love that song :)

    MSG 1 was my first time seeing PJ live - so that song means a lot to me :D

    I can't even along to it (partly due to the lyric change) - mostly because I start bawling for some reason

    same with I Got Shit

    Yeah, I've had "Hard To Imagine" fever lately. The last few days I've been listening to that song about three to four times a day. Then I get flashbacks of when they opened up in Boston with that song. What an opener? It's in my the top five of all time, and it's an ageless classic.

    took you all this long?

    100% Agree. I love that some so much. It sits way up at the top of some of my all time favorite pj songs....and yes...its when it breaks into that specific part that it all comes together and you just start screaming and singing along with eddie. that song is so good that I get chills just THINKING about hearing it.

    Im turning it on right now. Gotta go.
