I'm sure it's been asked tons of times, but what is your favorite PJ song(s) and why? Mine are Release, Come Back, Nothingman, and The End. I guess I tend to like the more emotional ones. Something about each of these songs is just incredible to me. For example, every time the 2nd verse of Nothingman comes in and Eddie brings the vocals up an octave I get chills. looking forward to your views! :)

    Immortality is my all time favorite. I think it is just simply one of the most beautifully dark, haunting songs that the band has ever written.

    Always changes but for much of the past year it has been Present Tense. (must be a record to hold it for that long!)
    I love what it says and the basic message of the song. Beautiful!

    Love has many colors...Black is on of them...
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    Sometimes I have a favorite for the moment...but Black will always sit at number 1.

    Release is waaay up there too...it was beautiful at alpine.
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    Garden, Indifference, Tremor Christ, In My Tree, Faithfull, Sleight of Hand, I am Mine, Comatose, Got Some

    These are the songs that have meant the most to me from each album.

    then there are a lot of other songs that can compete. I can never really answer this question!
