[Axver]

Lyrically;
- A Sort Of Homecoming (If this song doesn't move you, nothing will)
- One Tree Hill (Best song ever written and that's that)
- Heartland (It feels so real, the description is vivid)
- Gone (It's just ... wow)
- Wake Up Dead Man (Saved my faith)

Vocally;
- Gloria (Haunting)
- A Sort Of Homecoming (There are no spoken words to describe this song, just one incredible scream)
- With Or Without You, JT tour versions (The power of the singing of this song was mindblowing)
- Lemon (Wonderful falsetto)
- Please, live (The emotion makes you sit up and take notice and the banshee wailing gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it)

 

[nurse chrissi]

1. A Sort of Homecoming - the song gives me chills everytime I listen - I agree that one has to be a little um, numb, not to have an emotional response to this song
2. With or Without you - Rattle and Hum when he adds the summer stars part at the end
3. Until the end of the world - great song on all levels
4. Red Hill Mining Town - one of my favorite lyrics - " I can lose myself, you I can't live without"
5. One tree hill
more....
6. Gone (Pop has some amazing lyrics)
7. Kite is beautiful
8. Acrobat
9. Tomorrow
10. Love comes tumbling

My all time favourites!!

 

[angel_of_L.A.]

Gee this is hard:

lyrically:
1. Red Hill Mining Town--"I can lose myself, you I can't live without"

2. Beautiful Day--"What you don't have you don't need it now, what you don't know you can feel somehow..." (this has saved me one time too many)

3. Electrical Storm--the imagery takes me to places I can't even begin to describe.

4. One/One Tree Hill/ A Sort of Homecoming--just perfect from start to finish (I know that's cheating!)

5. Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For--it's honesty, it's courage has saved my faith by making me believe.

Musically:
1. Your Blue Room (so peaceful)

2. Miss Sarajevo (Is it blasphemous to say that Pavarotti is God's voice on earth?)

3. Stay (Far Away So Close)--just a bang and a clatter...it makes me cry and Montgomery's Visit---makes me want to run in an open field

4. The Ground Beneath Her Feet ("let me love you true, let me rescue you, let me bring to where two roads meet...")

5. Gone ("What you leave behind you don't miss anyway"--could it be the perfect precursor to Walk On?)
