Hi everyone!
I'm kinda new here, so I apologize if this has been asked before!!...

Do you have a favorite part in a song??!?, you know? a specific part of the song that you really like? not because of the lyrics, but maybe because of Eddie's voice in that particular line or a "guitar part"...
'cause I have a few...

*the "whoa!" in I am mine, after he says "We're safe tonight"
*the part in Immortality, right after "He saw the trapdoor in the sun...", I just love the guitar there... and it took me a while not to say immortality in that part. hehe
*in Do The Evolution I love the "Woooo" at the beginning

well, I can't wait to hear yours...

    The guitar solo in "I Got ID" is so fucking powerful and haunting. Everytime I listen to it, it evokes a feeling of something big and ominous, like an ancient battle or something.

    That part has always stuck with me.

    Cool thread!

    Given to fly when it's that swoooooosh feeling, like a runner's high. It's great!

    A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
    Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now'

    probably my favorite song....the part that follows that line "arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh, power, oh
    He's.. flying.....whole

    love it!

    also the first lines of release
    I see the world
    Feel the chill
    Which way to go

    Oh there are way too many to list because I have a favorite part of every PJ song. But the ones that come to mind off the top of my head are....

    In Release, the "I'll ride the wave where it takes me" part with the guitar part that is played during that. It builds up such feeling. I love it.

    The part in Do The Evolution: "I'm a theif, I'm a liar, there's my church, I sing in the choir" followed by the "hallelujah" with the harmonizing and music.

    As someone already said, the guitar solo in "I got ID"

    In My Tree: "up here so high I start to shake, up here so high the sky I scrape" Just that moment, the song changes, the words are great, the music feels so powerful!

    Those are some of the ones that come to me off the top of my head.

    I love the part of "Leash" where Ed sings "I'm lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side". They way he sings "guide"...just fantastic.

    That part in Pilate... "Stunned by my own reflection..... "

    I Got Shit... "So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream..."

    so many though.. I could go on and on.

    "He's.. flying whole… high.. wide, oh"
    the drum solo in evenflow
    and the harmonica in driftin
  • pjrvmpjrvm Posts: 99
    I agree with all the Given To Fly comments and the one person who mentioned the line from Leash, some of Eddie's best lyrics in my opinion

    Not sure what my favourite is, but one of the best (especially live) is in both Hail Hail and Sad

    "He will always love you, and it's sad... SHYAH!!!!!"
    "...I refer to those in love.... SHYAH!!!"
    no idea how to spell, but I'm sure you all know what I mean
    I catch myself listening to my ipod about to belt that part out. Would be pretty embarrassing while studying.

    That's my husbands favorite part too. He sings it really well - lol. I love how in some concerts it takes on a life of it's own. :)
    Great question btw. :)

    I love that part in Pilate as well! I listen to the song just for that.

    A few other are, "Why Go" "She's been diagnosed by some stupid F*** and mommy agrees, Yea!"

    Pretty much all the little Ed add on's in "Breath" "All these reaching hands out...grabbin' things. (grabbin Me.)" I just love it. Makes the song flow so well.
    "Wave to all my friends....yeah!"

    The guitar just before and the "Is something wrong? she said" part of Alive.
    The first chorus of Better Man, is so calm and sweet, but so sad....beautiful

    Good thread... it's like going through all the best parts of the songs in rapid-fire.

    The part about midway through NAIS, beginning at the part where Ed sings "saving up for sunny day..." The song gets so heavy and powerful at that part- I just wish it kept up for the rest of the song.

    Or how about Breath... "there's... much... more than this!" Awesome.

    In Release: "I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me..." It just sounds so tortured.

    Near the end of Inside Job, when either Mike or Stone bust out the simple guitar solo... I think it's before the "life comes from within..." part.

    I could go on forever probably. I'll keep it at that.

    (oh, and the beginning and ending of Fatal is just amazing.)

    The ending of RVM when the band kicks into high gear and they are jamming away or the very beginning of SOLAT or in Blood when Ed holds the Its....my.....BBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!

    very cool thread.

    i have so many favorite parts to choose from but one that stands out right now is on the benaroya show when the crowd sings the last verse of black. i really dig that!

    I love the guitar riff in the middle of "Do the Evolution".......brilliant.

    The opening chords and first lyrics of Corduroy!! Obviously!! :D

    The waiting drove me mad, you're finally here and I'm a mess
    Take your interest back, can't let you roam inside my head.
    NOPE!!!

    At the end of live Jeremy, uh huh, uh huh, WHOAAAA!

    It gives me chills every time I hear it.

    The most powerful song that I have ever heard live. The place erupted and Eddie fed right off the crowd's energy. It was pure bliss.
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl...

    I love that part too. But isn't it: "I take your entrance back"

    The verse in "Footsteps" when Ed sings "I've got scratches all over my arms, one for each day since I fell apart..." Then he goes into the chorus and wails it. It gives me chills every time.

    In "Release", when he sings, "I wait up in the dark for you to speak to meeeeeeee."

    Leash..."TAKE my fuckin hand"

    Deep...the entire song.

    Blood..."Turns Ed into one of his enemies"

    i thought this would never be asked...

    the bridge in "nothingman".."oh...she don't want him, she won't feel him...after he's flown away...into the sun, into the sun"

    nothingman is such a beautifully depressing song, so much in the sense that's it's righteously uplifting.

    jeff ament is a amazing songwriter. pen on jeff, pen on!!

    LMAO!!! :D Most likely Perlina! I guess I'm in the wrong thread again! :o And I didn't even know it!! hehe!! :D Should be in Misheard Lyrics clearly! ;)

    Actually when I was posting the other day I knew it wasn't right but those are the words that I always sing, so I couldn't for the life of me remember the right ones!! Don't you just love PJ lyrics!! So interpretive!! ;)
    NOPE!!!

    "Given to Fly" - towards the end where Eddie's singing "He's flyyyiing, whole, he's whole, whole..." and all of the guitar parts how they build during that last chorus and then it's just Mike playing and the song beautifully fades out.

    "Severed Hand" - Where Eddie sings "what is human? what is more? I'll answer this when I get home...." then Mike goes into the most killer solo!

    "Not For You" - The whole song

    "Dissident" - The part where Eddie screams "She gave him away, when she couldn't hold on, no she folded..."

    "Come Back" - The part where Eddie sings "I've been plannin' out, all that I'd say to you..." and the keyboards come in.

    "In the Moonlight" - The guitars at the end of the song!!

    Well that's all for now...

    Theres loads,but off the top of my head.The endings of RVM and GO,the drumming in SAVE YOU and the way Ed sings HERD BEHAVIOUR in DTE.The intro and guitar in I GOT ID, chorus of IN HIDING and the great mellow ending of FAITHFULL(you are you are a furry thing) oh and the intro and rapid drum roll in the middle of BRAIN OF J !

    Favourite part.. many lol One thing that's surprising, is when you think of some parts, PJ actually seem emo lol

    Corduroy for instance.. "I'm already cut off, I'm half dead" (Or in some live versions.. "I'm already cut off, I'm fuckin' dead")

    But for a favourite, it's more then likely "Can't find a betterman" lol Or "If nothing is everything, I will have it all" It's a hard choice, so im going for both lol

    :eek: They are the same ones I was going to say!!!

    Footsteps is one of my fave songs!! And what about the part in leash when he says "Get outta my fuckin face"!...and the bit in Release when he says "Ill wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me". I kinda always imagine Ed to be sitting up in his bed, pitch black...thinking about his poor Dad :(
