    I love how he didn't like savior compared to everything else, so of course it became their biggest song that he would have to play at every show

      I can definitely see where he's coming from cause I'm not a huge fan of that song either. I also don't get why Savior seems to be their most popular song. There are way better songs even on this record.

    • @xoreign
      @xoreign 7 лет назад +25

      Can we stop with the whole "I don't get why ___ is so popular"
      Obviously, it's popular because people have different opinions and lots of people like the song. Nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with your opinion, just don't act like it's superior... damn

      Savior is one of the best songs they have written and it sounds like a song from their previous records. At last I have found my answer about Injection! It is what I thought it was, I'm so glad :D

    • @bluepearl_22
      @bluepearl_22 7 лет назад +11

    • @muazqamar

      I remember the first time I saw him at the house of blues in Chicago. i had just came from Pakistan just to see his concert. I grew up listening to him and then he finally came on stage and my legs started shaking and I almost cried (I didn't cry). That had never happened to me before. I realized that this man has no idea who or what I am but in many ways he shaped into the man I am. Very few people have that kind of influence over me. I really want to meet him even for just 10 minutes

    I like that he mentioned the truth about having a child. A lot of people don’t ever say anything about once they grow to the age they have a personality and begin thinking on their own. That moment changes everything from the first stages of being a parent when it’s just those “ sleepless nights “ and then suddenly you have a walking talking person who is in need of your guidance while also finding their own way. It’s a crazy journey.

Every one of your songs I can listen over and over again and always find a message, something new I word or a phrase that changes my mood. It doesn’t matter how shitty my day is going your music recharges me. I hope if you ever see this comment just know that I am not the only one who thinks this way your Number one Fan JZ

    • @michaelp.4890
      @michaelp.4890 4 года назад

      Miracle is about the apathy of the modern person who refuses to participate in activities that impact the world; a message of activism. I Don't Want To Be Here Anymore is about Tim's frustration with how the world has evolved, the killings, the poaching, the climate change etc. This frustration is justifying the title.

But im sure most of the people who are listening this band way longer, i dont think they would pick it to top 5.
