What Pj songs really touched you? Not made you get up and jump, but really connected to you, made you think and left you speechless or perhaps cry.

This was mentioned in another thread but I wanted to know what songs brought out emotions? what songs are the most beautiful to you?

For me it was deinatly Indifference. I was going through a pretty difficult time in my life and it really helped me through. No song has ever done that for me.

Another one is thumbing my way, makes me miss home.

    In My Tree
    I'm Open
    Faithful
    Save You
    LBC
    Present Tense
    Thumbing My Way
    I Am Mine
    Cropduster
    Indifference
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing

    there's a ton of songs i could list here but suffice it to say that betterman is probably one of the top 5, if not the top song.

    played live this song hits hard...especially when the audience starts the song by singing the first verse. very powerful.

    one of the best version i witnessed was 8/20/98 montreal, due to the tag.

    ripped from a 5horizons review of that show:
    "Better Man' is once again dedicated to Hillary Clinton, and features a segue into a very extended 'Save it for Later."

    Tons of songs,
    but in particular:
    Black
    Thin Air
    L B Captain
    ...cos these are about love, loves loss or potency.
    Been through it all. Theres a frustration with people
    and the world in these songs. Why can't we take care of
    eachother and be faithful (to eachother)?
    Release touched me cos I heard it was about his longing to
    have made up with his father (I will wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me....I'll open up, release me) I identify totally with that.

    Release
    Black
    You Are
    Daughter
    Down
    Elderly Woman...
    Footsteps
    Nothingman
    I'm Open
    "It only hurts when I breathe"~ Greenwheel
    "Love is a tower of strength to me"
    "I wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me"
    "I'll ride the wave where it takes me"
    "I did what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you"
    "I hold the hand that holds me down... I will RISE ABOVE!"
    "Shit, solo or something"~ Eddie Vedder
    "The best way to change something that's around you, something you don't like, is to change yourself. And I don't think you want other people changing you, I think the only person that can change you is yourself. So if you ain't happy, if you're reading magazines about generation x-ers and thinking 'yeah, I'm one of them', well fuck that. Don't let anyone tell you who you are. No, no. No one can tell me who I am."~ Eddie Vedder (9/26/96)
