    Tremendous song, especially when played after chloe dancer like on the singles soundtrack. PJ do it justice with a nice cover, not as powerful as the original though.

    I have thought that many times. I can't actually express how this song makes me feel. It's not something that I can put into words. I can't imagine another song ever meaning so much to me. I literally fell in love with it after one listen. PJ's covers just can't do it justice.

    "You ever hear the story of Mr Faded Glory?
    say he who rides a pony must someday fall"
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Yeah I have to agree...as much as I love Crown, by no means is it the best song on this incredible album.

    I never thought I'd say this, but I think Pearl Jam's version is as good, if not better than the original. Either version though... amazing song.

    My favorite part of the song is when Andrew sings the "C,mon, C'mon, C'mon" part. Bone chilling.

    you think 'crown of thorns' is better than 'black'?

    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    Crown Of Thorns is amazing...

    just sometimes you cant compare things ... i cant compare black or alive or release or jeremy or whichever great pearl jam song to crown of thorns cause its all great in its own way... worship the songs for what they are if they are all great, some things are not comparable... at least for me... but i understand if you love that song the most of all, it really is a gem...
