    Agreed-keep going back to it. That and after seeing longing to belong live last week. Both are really moving!!

    I've watched his Letterman performance over and over....and I've sent it to many friends; one friend said it made her cry.

    Yeah, seeing him perform this song live now a couple times and practically all the Uke songs have really brought me closer to the record and the feelings that Eddie was trying to convey with the record. It sounds so different after this past week's of shows. I'm just so thankful to Eddie for doing it now.

    Everytime I hear this song, I can't help but become a mushy mess. I don't love the Uke album but Ed on Letterman really helped me appreciate it. Without You is definitely my favourite, by far.

    Yes!, it is one of his best lyrics. Such a beautiful song!!

    This song is my favorite on the Uke album and I knew it the moment I first heard it weeks ago.

    Does anyone else find that for this song seems to get stuck in your head very easily? I mean like; I can't get it out of my head more than any Pearl Jam or Eddie song. Not saying it's the best song ever! Just really stays with you.

    This song has been running through my head a lot lately, not too sure of the exact lyrically interpretation, but it's been a lonely difficult summer, just very melancholy for me.

    Best sad song for sure. What song is everyones favorite though. I was just thinking yesterday after my 45th listen that if I had to pick one song I would go with Youre True. That song really does it for me. It has such an infectious groove. So many to choose from.

    I agree! This is a great song and the lyrics are amazing.

    I think that's what I was getting at in my post about how amazing the lyrics are and that the tune is just stuck in my though I think I may be interpreting them wrong. I just find it sad and missing someone that was special to you but left.

    Totally agree! Agreed with that before the Seattle I show and now waaaaay more so. Everytime I've listened to it since that show, I just keep hearing that cello bouncing off the walls of Benaroya. BEAUTIFUL!
