    Black, DTE, Off he goes, Save You

    And Footsteps chokes me up everytime...

    'i've got scrathes
    all over my arms
    one for each day
    since i fell apart'

    I have to say, off the top of my head, Sleight of Hand is pretty emotional.

    I'd have to say Indifference... and YOU ARE!

    Love is a tower
    And you're the key
    Leading me higher
    When you let me in
    ...
    You are a tower of
    Strength to me
    The darkening hour
    Sees light again... again

    The most emotional song that Ive listened to would have to be hands down INDIFFERENCE, but at the same time, Ive been moved to tears with GIVEN TO FLY. doesnt all have to be about sadness right? :)

    Well the man is intense no matter what he sings! But I would have to say Black is the most emotional/intense. Followed by Release, Light Years. Most of their songs are intense and emotional in some way.

    The most emotional songs in my opinion that eddie ever wrote are, Yellow Leadbetter, Betterman and Black. Those songs could bring you to tears every time you hear them.

    "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky. But Why can't it be mine?"
    Don't you know there's something inside your head.

    grief/sadness - "Release"

    closure - "rearview mirror"

    Thumbing My Way for sure. It gives me chills everytime I hear it. It's so moving, and it's like I have some sort of personal attatchment to it. . . it touches me in a way I haven't quite figured out yet. I love it.

    To me every single lyric and music is deeply emotional. I think it mainly depends on the mood.
    Anyway... probably footsteps is one of the most touching songs, i mean eddie's voice and interpretation are really great.
    But i also love REARVIEWMIRROR, it means a lot to me. I can really feel it. The music, the lyric. That's what i love about pj, they perfectly describe most of my moods, experiences, feelings.

    Thumbing my Way I think is the most obvious one, its obviously about someone close to him so the emotion really rides out.
    An obscure one might be Dead Man Walking, but not the way they play it live. Just seems so chilling and you almost can feel what its like to be on death row, waiting for your destiny. It gives me chills and like I say gives me a perspective of what it feels like to be in that situation. Pure emotion and says it all for Ed's work.
    Its been 8 years, but I still believe...PJ in NZ 06!

    Footsteps, Wash, & Arc. They are what I always I though to be the most emotional, then maybe Black.

    I love this song, it touches my soul in a way no other song has. I joined this site just to tell you I cry too.

    Rearview Mirror, definately, and one of my favs
    Off He Goes my fav song at the time (it switches day to day)
    Yellow Ledbetter - I cry when I hear it too.
