Name a Pj song that applied to your life

Release - I was in the Atlantic in Oct. of 2000. Unseasonably warm, for one week, lots of bad karma in my life at the time, and I felt like I needed to reconnect and center myself. So there I was drifting in the waves, totally awe struck by the fact I was in the ocean in Oct., when this feeling came over me. I can't explain it, I can't describe it, except peace comes to mind. I left the ocean that day a different person. And here we are almost 5 years later and that day still stands out as a defining moment in my life, and I am able to remember vividly that feeling, that environment. - Glorious! - I hope I never forget it. Release takes me to that moment every time.

Man of the Hour - My father died before I was born. This song is so emotional for me, but in a good way.

All those yesterdays.....

taking pills to get along, inventing wars to call your own.....

Well, I dont know what the inspirations were for the people who wrote the songs but I think most artists want you to gather your own meaning anyway. For me, "Present Tense" pretty much always aplies to me, you gotta have that mindset, whats in the past is past. Also, "Deep" was good for me a while back cuz i was just feeling miserable and overwhelmed with all sorts of shit at school, personal and academically. I was just "in too deep".

dissident #2/atlanta concert for that vocal 'we belong together' at the end of the song.

Last Exit.....Every single word of that song man!!!

Dirty Frank - Hahahahah actually, I'm using it as inspiration to write a poem "Clean Glenda" which is Dirty Frank's little sister. Should be interesting if I put it from where it is locked in my brain to paper and pen.

Ditto.

Thank you for saying exactly what I feel.
