The "I dream" never ceases to give me chills in the best possible sense. Truly heavenly.DrDark wrote:You're absolutely right. The essence of the song is contained in the transition to the "I dream" part. The lyrics work in conjunction with that.

Re: Your least favorite PJ song
Couldn't get through the whole of 'April' initially. That was the problem. With Polly's beautiful voice I couldn't understand why she'd chose to sing like an 80 year old woman who smokes 40 B&H a day. It was only when we saw her at the SBE and she built up to the cresendo of 'I dream...' that I loved it. I agree with yarn for hair and Dr Dark. It is a hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck-moment.

I always forget she has a song called "Joe" 
Re: Your least favorite PJ song
It's a hard question because I've always come to the conclusion that I love EVERY PJ tune.
Anyway, my "least favourite" award goes to You Said Something. Even though I have started to appreciate its simplicity and honest lyrics, I keep on thinking that's very far from my personal taste.

Re: Your least favorite PJ song
You Said Something is definitely one of my least favorites as well, but at least the WXRV version made it a little more listenable to me.

Re: Your least favorite PJ song
^But, you never learn what that 'something' is! What did he/she say? What was really important? I guess that's the song's charm that won me over. Granted, I don't play it frequently, but it does put a smile on my face whenever I hear it

maybe she'll tell one day because she's never forgotten it.

I think it's "Hook"... I dunno why though. There's something with it. But I love the Rid of Me record anyways

Re: Your least favorite PJ song
I listen to Why'd Ya Go To Cleveland a lot. I love it plus Cleveland is close to me so I get all hyper fangirl and think "omgz she wrote a song with my state! i'm so lucky" lol
