    So many of them.. And they change sometimes. But mostly: from Ten: Garden and Porch, from VS: Daughter, Go,RVM, and Indifference , from Vitalogy: Last Exit, Betterman, ( cliche I know but not really hits home when you've been in the domestic violence circle, or ever heard your mother say those words), Tremor Christ, and Pry To, from No Code: Present Tense, In My Tree, Hail, Hail( but I think I've given up on the hopes of finding love), Habit, Red Mosquito, Smile,and Immortality, From Yield: .Can't Keep, Pilate, Faithful, Low Light, and Wishlist, from
    Binaural: Of a Girl, Light Years, Nothing as it Seems( I want this song played when I die!), and Parting Ways, from Riot Act: You Are ( I may never find love, but this is hands down the best love sing ever written IMO, and I wish it were real), Cropduster, Bushleager, 1/2 Full, and Arc.

    I will have to finish this later, got shit to do.
  • RVM - it makes me feel happy, "I gather speed from you fucking with me" let me leave behind everything that wasn't ok in my life. Just great song.

    Nothing As It Seems - I know my bestfriend for 16 years now. A year ago something really bad happened and since that everything has changed. We still meet, talk, smile, but nothing is as it seems...I feel really sad about it and though this song doesn't literally fit, there is the kind of sadness that we are not in a place/situation we want to be.

    Untought Known - love this song, but first I didn't like the idea of not being anyone's rival. We are taught to be better than others, fight for position, success and other shit. Now I think "Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no one's rival" are the most important words Ed said to me. If I make a PJ tattoo, it may be "No one's rival".

    Last but not least - whispering hands when I read your explanation about You Are, I read my own words. Great and important song, even if you feel no hope for love. Even if I got shit ;)

    Inside Job

    Not because I suffered from alcoholism, but I think that lyrics apply perfectly to my struggle with an eating disorder, which is why I have them tattooed on my back.

    In all honesty, Mike wrote that about his own addiction, yes.. But an addiction is an addiction. So it applies just the same. Hope you beat that nasty thing and remain here for a long time.

    The song that means the most to me hasn't been written yet. As far as I'm concerned this world can come to an abrupt end, when the music is over....turn out the lights. Just can't get enough and I hope it never ends. A hundred years!


    For lachrymose gaze the gods; infallible and alone in immortality.
    A procession of ages shall pass, none rival Pearl Jam!

    From: can you feel it
    by. yours truly

    In joyous part

    It depends of what I am going through. There are a lot on the list, but maybe right now it is either Rearviewmirror, Indifference or I Got ID. Those are the songs that I've been listening to a lot lately...
