That PJ song that you heard in just the moment you needed it

The song that I heard when I most needed it was definitely "Just Breathe". I had been going through a lost of stress and heard the song after a really long day. The lines "Oh I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love" brought some much needed perspective into my day.Post edited by khinmon on0

Heard 'Just Breathe' as a family member was dying. Not my favorite song, but the lyrics took on a whole new meaning.0

Theres more than one but forsure it will be Inside Job. At the time i went thru a breakup. My ex never loved me she just said that shit just to get to me and after the split i would say Fuck love Loves Dead and even start ask what is love? But the line from the song "i used to try to kill love, It was the highest sin". I was made by love and grew up loved by my family and thats a biggest sin i will never commit is to say i never loved my parents . i love people,the planet and so much more. The song told me to not give up on love. To keep on being the human light in peoples lives and that song put me back on my feet to keep on moving forward that same day. And hearing the song many times before didnt mean much to me than it did after that breakup and speak to me0

For me.....Daughter / It's Okay. Last year at this time I was in a really bad place. I was dealing with so many messed up relationships and family issues. The first week of February I lost one personal friend as well as two longtime family friends. When that happens it really makes you lose hope for things to get better. A week later I had a really bad day and came home to find out that my dog had died. I'd know for months she was living on borrowed time but it just hit me so hard. Why did it have to be that night? I had almost nobody I could talk to at the time and I'd pretty much resigned myself to end it that night. I showered, but I always play music as I shower. That night I just opted for YouTube autoplay and clicked on PJ playing Daughter at the Gorge '06. I had no idea about the Its Okay tag being added on. I broke down. Just everything let loose and it felt good to have some guy I'd never met care so deeply. It felt like a best friend just grabbing me and saying hey man. This is horrible now but you can get through it. I decided it was okay that night and I kept going. A live Better Man followed Daughter and they added the Don't Run Away tag onto it and that was incredible. Daughter / Its Okay saved my life that night. I have no doubt. I created my 10 Club account that night. Now a year later I'm on the forum telling you guys about it and feeling the best I've felt in life for a long while. Last night while I was reconnecting with an old friend, the VA beach version of daughter from 2000 came on and it was incredible again. Last night was when I realized how much it really means to me. I experienced the song randomly at the lowest and highest points of my life. The song will always be a sign for me to never give up and always keep fighting even if Eddie is the only one saying it's okay. Theres many more songs that have gotten me through in smaller ways or said what I needed to hear......but Daughter / Its Okay is the most profound by a long shot. Thanks for reading.Post edited by lukemil33 on0
