Which one's do you turn to?

Recently for me it's been Green Disease, Corduroy, Save You (I hope Mike's Telecaster survived this one) and I Am Mine from "Live at the Showbox".

Thank you, PJ.

    Inside Job!
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    Present Tense and, for some odd reason, Even Flow (it has to be a live version, though, so I can listen to Mike go off like a rocket launcher during his solo :D ).

    I think everyone can relate to the "if hope can grow from dirt like me" part.

    Without You
    To me, its a great statement about the importance of long term relationships, and working through tough times instead of giving up on each other when the going gets tough.

    Alive
    Who can't appreciate just being alive? :D

    Phew, ain't it so?! That's been right up there for me too quite a few times.

    Probably the strongest over time so far for me has been "Marker in the Sand" because I feel that song much better than I understand it. Straight to the heart and soul, that one.

    Yet this week it's "I am Mine", not for me but for going out to C. and L. Hang tough, kids.

    Always Given to Fly to bring me through those tough times with others scattered in there depending on the mood & situation. Anywhere from Breathe and a Scream or State of Love & Trust to Just Breathe. Man there's just soo much music here that's soo powerful... Fucking love this band!!

    I guess it could be called "I'm So Gald (we made it)" or who knows what. No name maybe. It's the song Eddie sang at PJ20 Alpine Valley; he had written it that day, and it was about how happy he and the band made it through all the years, and I can't think of a more touching and encouraging moment. So awesome.,
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
