Is really a great song! Has it all...great lyrics, marshall drum beat, anthemic, great guitar and yet it never reached the heights it deserved...reminds me very much of Slip Kid by the Who another great song that never achieved the greatness it deserved! What say you amirite or just being a PJ &Who homer?

Was there and it was pretty perfect from where I was standing!

I’ve always loved I Am Mine and thought that the end of it would make for a great extended solo but sadly PJ chooses to play the song exactly as on the record.

Absolutely agree as you said it's all set-up at the end for Mike to soar and that would be the reason for me that's it's still a great song but, not a classic.

I absolutely love this song. One of the best moments of live at the garden was when Ed dedicated that song to the people who died in 9/11.

Remember when it came out and was labeled "Veckans Hitvarning (This weeks warning of being a huge hit)" on the Swedish equivalence of MTV. The video was played like once every commercial break.

I thought it was the greatest song ever and would be GIGANTIC. I guess it was semi-successful(?) and I love it. 5 our of 5 songs.

One of my memories from this message board that for some reason I have always remembered is someone dissing Mikes solo saying it was the worst PJ solo ever. I always think of that post every time Mikes solo starts. Don't know what that poster really meant, but for some reasons I can't forget it.

An awesome song. Fantastic lyrics and vocals.

It’s probably my favorite PJ song. Top-5 for sure. Admittedly it is the catchy pop hook that does it for me. Also “I know I was born and I know that I’ll die; the in between is mine.” Is a terrific lyric. I don’t need it at every show but I’m glad it hasn’t been forgotten about.

Fan of that line too...

The ocean is full cause everyone's crying...dylanesque!

Such a great song and some of my favorite lyrics. I haven't seen very many shows but have gotten the song a couple times. I miss the days of well written lyrics.

One of my top 5 songs! Just a great song

Great lyrics. I used this song when I had my kids studying poetry. :-)

Edit to add: Whenever I see a pic of The Who By Numbers, I remember how when I was little I connected the dots and colored in the instruments.

Great song on a lyrically and instrumentally amazing album. Ed's lyrics peaked between the Binaural and Riot Act period. Love all of the music they made during that time.

Great responses for a great song!
