Come on.......give one of the greatest PJ Tags EVER a little love.....................


it's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
it's okay, i love you anyway
it's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
it's okay...
this is my chance, this is my life
this is my hope in an alleyway
this is my choice, this is my voice
there may be no tomorrow, now
this is my plea, this is my need
this is my time for standing free
this is my staff, this is my day
and the world is never safe
it's okay, you know i love you anyway
it's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
it's okay, it's okay
it's okay...

    LOVE IT!

    :D

    It really gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. It also makes me tear up everytime too...but in such a good/happy way. Being able to actually watch the TB2K performance is xtra special (love the little Eddie points. hehe), but seriously just listening to this song..period...helps soooo much. It's fuckin beautiful! Definitely one of my fav tags ever. Whenever I am really down I'll put this on and just say to myself, "You know...it IS ok."

    Loove it! Soo simple, but oh so powerful!

    awesome. I was at the VA Beach show when they tagged this amazing. also at Jones beach. but the VA beach show was better.

    jones beach gets more hype b/c it was the version they used on TB2000. but trust me VA Beach was better :)
  • {[Pearl_Jam}]{[Pearl_Jam}] Posts: 852
    i think the VA beach version had more emotion... right after the 9 lives lost...

    just wanted to add my love for this tag. it's been a horrible morning here at work and i just listened to that just now. it helps so much, all i needed to hear was "it's okay".

    I agree the Virginia Beach version of "Its Okay " is brilliant I love it so much!!!!!!!!!!! definately the BEST version ,the crowd sound so much more into it than the crowd at Jones Beach.
    The waiting drove me mad!!!

    I personally prefer the VA Beach one too... but it's partly because of what Ed says and the way he says it makes it sound like he's about to cry or something and it's so emotional.

    It's easily my fave tag... I hope they'll play it more often in the future.

    Has anyone else heard the original? I d/led it and it's pretty cool... but of course I prefer PJ's version... hehe

    I was at VA Beach and there was so much emotion that night, eddie had tears in his eyes that night, before off he goes, and the daughter tag, that was just the best ever

    yea it's all a matter of opinion........I was at VA Beach and Jones beach and VA Beach was just a better version IMO.

    a lot more emotion was present @ VA Beach. Jones beach was still *very good*.......without a doubt :)
  • chiquimonkeychiquimonkey Posts: 9,337
    is the VA beach one the version where ed intro's it by saying "sing loud cuz you're outside, sing loud cuz you're still alive, and just sing loud"? that is the one that i found online and downloaded, wasn't sure where it came from though! it is different from the one on the DVD, so i'm guessing it's VA beach.

    i have much love and affection for this tag because it helps me get thru when i feel down. i have the mp3 at work just in case i need a little PJ love :)

    thanks for confirming the source philly! yeah it's quite moving to hear, and just how he introduced it, what a great saying for sure :)
  • DickDaleDickDale Posts: 11
    the Jb version is a bit tighter-- but having just heard the VB one recently-- yes its better.

    lets not forget it was also done 9/4/00 at Merriweather pavilion (DC),, a much looser version..
