THANK YOU PJ

down, fell by the wayside
no getting out
oh down, cry me a river
dried up and dammed
the names can be changed
but the place is still the same
i am loaded, told that all's for naught
holds me down
rise, life is in motion
i'm stuck in line
oh rise, you can't be neutral
on a moving train
one day the symptoms fade
think i'll throw these pills away
and if hope could grow from dirt like me
it can be done
won't let the light escape from me
won't let the darkness swallow me
yeah!

nice, short and to the point.

thanks pj. I listen to this song whenever I'm having a bad day at work.. lol..

It is a very danceable song!!!

When it came on at BSB, there was nothing to do, but to dance

this song lifts me up when I had a shitty day...thanks PJ!!

MeddleDeal · December 2003

This song lifts me up and it is kind of like a "you are going to bring me down, I am just going to simply ignore you" kind of song:)

I LOVE IT!!

VEDHEAD27 · December 2003

Isn't it just so fitting...I mean Mikey wrote a lot of it right? And the song is totally uplifting, strong and inspirational...it spreads smiles all around...just like Mikey!

It's SO perfect!!

Great song,Sounds like a song Bruce Springsteen would do.They performed at the June 2nd show I went to and i thought "All Right a Springsteen cover!".

leashman · December 2003

Cant stop singing down

live at Penn state version is pure brilliance

bruins1 · December 2003

Down is one of my favorites off of the new CD. I'm thinking about having my band cover this song. That would rawk!

hi Pëdge!!!

I'll never understand how they left most of songs in Lost Dogs out of their earlier releases… but then again, there are many things i’ll never understand. What are you up to Pedge, I’m falling asleep at work, slept only 4 hours yesterday since I returned late from a trip (I went treacking and rock climbing) I’ve got scratches all over my legs (too make this footsteps related, another great song in Lost Dogs)

Elusive came up with the theory that they may have left off many of the songs with negative names such as "DOWN" and "SAD" because they didn't want to be perceived in that way after what happened at Roskilde. And yeah I'm doin well, partying too much for my own good but can't complain

yes, I remember that theory
it's still great that these songs made it to us some way or the other
"Sad" is a song i really enjoy, it is a great song.
Glad you get to party

Was there a particular PJ song that saved you? Or maybe a song that always helped you thru rough times? Mine would have to be Black, at least in the beginning it was. Now there are just too many PJ songs that do the trick

I couldn't narrow down one song that has given me a big lift in a time of need. Well Given to Fly is my signature and a song that always makes me feel better. Immortality helped me through a bad time. Footsteps, Release and Black all changed my life. I could keep naming songs forever, they all mean so much
