    This song is perfectly written. If you love someone and they love you back don't fuck it up. I remember reading that Eddie said that.

    Favorite line: Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

    my most recent meomory of this song - sydney, november 06, standing with the best view overlooking stone, and gazing down at ed, with my 10 yr old son by my side at his very first live show.

    hear the opening bars, get all teary and look down at my little boy who looks back at me all excited and bright eyed as only a 10 yr old can be.

    yea - dont fuck things up. somethings are gone forever, and never come back - and sometimes they are things you never should have missed

    nothingman calls up strong emotions...
    makes me cry everytime I hear it:)

    one of my favourite PJ songs
    I don't want to be the fool that's behind me but I am...

    I'll Hold The Pain... Release...

    Yourself

    "he who forgets will be destined to remember", and "some words when spoken can't be taken back" have to be my favorite lines from a pj song.
    Beautiful, beautiful song! I love it so much!

    First post on this board.
    This is without a doubt one of my favorite songs of them all. I recently have gone through a separation/ break up with my wife so this song has a little bit more meaning than it used to. The "caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go" line is without question my top two favorite lines from any song written. Of course Black and Betterman also speak my story to a tee.

    This is the other song that I can relate to the most. I lost both of my only brothers and this song makes me feel like it was written about someone who passed away. I don't know. It just touches a deep part of my soul.

    "Could have been something....nothingman."
    ıt touches my heart too

    always makes me sad and happy together. do you know this feeling?

    ıt makes me remember my mother ı don't even remember his face now.
