    I only heard this live back in 98. I was hoping to get it this tour, but no luck. It's such a beautiful song. And like many others I think its Ed's voice that makes the lyrics much more powerful. Definitely one of my favorites.

    I got this song at Dallas and MSG II. This song is SO beautiful. I hope you will get it on the next tour OnceDivided. :)

    I actually cried when they played this at MSG II. It just hit me, I don't know why, either the fact that it was a miracle I was there, or something else. I turned to my friend, VEDHEAD27 and she was crying too. It was a very emotional song to me that night.

    Great song. Great memories.

    Very personal song for me aswell. I was a leader on a retreat called Kairos. I basically had to give a deep personal story of my life. I got a song to open the speech with and a song to close it with. I opened it with Nothingman.

    With me The Song i'm open does it
    It was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

    hmmm, we all wonder though. Stranger things HAVE happened. I know Mike, on the old, old ms boards, he made an appearance on there. I didn't witness it, but I have heard about it.

    BTW-OnceDivided you are SO welcome!! It will be an awesome experience for you to see it live once again.:)

    A very touching song that each time I hear it, it brings a tear to my eyes.

    <---listening to the Dallas 2003 boot

    This song is SO touching, love the way the song flows and it does it slowly.

    To tell you the truth, I like this song for a long time now, but it did not have that much of an impact on me until MSG II, when I first heard the song, and then all of a sudden, tears started streaming down my face. The line that got to me was "she once believed in every story he had to tell" that is where I lost it. I turned over to look at my friend who was standing next to me, and she was crying as well, at the exact same time. Such an emotional song.

    to this day I don't even know why we both started crying, I guess b/c we were actually there to enjoy the show together. :)

    This song, so beautiful in oh so many ways.

    thank u PJ, i'll NEVER get sick and tired of this song. :)

    Yeah I've thought about it and thought "why not"! I tried to place myself in any of their shoes and decided that "yes" I would occassionally come in here and read what is being said and reply if I felt the need. I have written some lyrics for a local band here in the Detroit area and I know I would come in and read what everyone got out of my words. I wouldn't, however, correct anyone's interpretation because my words come from my personal life, yet I would hope everyone could relate to them from their own personal experiences. I wouldn't want to spoil that. So, to me, lyrics are meant to be interpreted by each individual however they hear it and how it touches them! So, everyone is correct in their interpretations! That's how it should be...
