    I have to really agree with black, sad, and come back. But I think Unemployable really hits home, The topic of that song is much more important then songs about loss and emotional breakdown because at its core its about survival. lt is about a man trying to do everything he can to make ends meet but is unable too at no fault of his own. I also think it really speaks truths about situations that many people are in today.

    Wow... can't believe this song makes it on the "saddest ever" thread, but not the "best lines ever" or "best song ever" thread. Personally... as you can see by my username... best PJ song ever! Of course, this is just my opinion. Anyway... not to split hairs or anything, but Eddie didn't write this song. It was written by Jeff. I think it's discussed in the Lost Dogs booklet that accompanies the disc. I think he wrote it for his parents, but don't quote me on that one. I also think that it was to be released on the Riot Act disc, but for whatever reason... never made it.

    I can't believe no one else has said "Inside Job." The first time I ever heard that song it just really got to me...

    Light Years. It carries something sad without holding the typical dark shades. I always thought that it was about some kind of genius who could work out formulaes and riddles but couldn't understand why his loved one left. Which I think is more touching than something as obvious as death or fighting.

    I'm Still Here is amazingly moving. I can't listen to it without a lump in my throat....It gets me every time and yet I still play it...

    Love Boat Captain for me, it simply sends the shivers. I know it makes a reference to Roskilde but is it actually about that?

    Yesssss, I'm Still Here was a time of great agreement for me. I was going through the same sort of thing, and even on the first time I heard it, I was able to say "But I'm still here" at the same time as Ed. I got one of those depressed kicks out of that, kind of smirking at it. Probably the first time I actually couldn't sleep because of a problem.

    Sleight of Hand and Hold On.Both mean a lot to me,they're both(to me anyways) about a guy trying to just keep himself going through a difficult time in his life in the hope that things will get better in the future if he just hangs in there.They're quite sad songs on the surface bu the more I listen to them the more hopeful they become.The sad part being I guess 'He found himself staring down at his own hands not remembering the change not recalling the plan'.

    For me, Nothingman is the saddest song. It's so lonely.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.
