Which songs do you personally find awe-inspiring, spine-tingling or lyrically thought-provoking? There are soooo many I could list so I'll have to think for a while before I post mine.

I always thought that Bruce Cockburn's song, "If I had a Rocket Launcher" was pretty awe inspiring and spine tingling. Seriously, there is tons. Maybe I will put mine up tonight.

The moon song! I thought I was the only one who knew about that Try "Evinrude-fifty" by the Brian Blade Fellowship. It has inspired lots of awe in me.

She's Gone by Nofx, not really awe inspiring, but it makes me all tingly up the spine. oh yeah there's also Lower by the same band, friggin rocks if you like punk. sorry for the spam!

It's hard to pick one song from the following CD's: they are all worth being stuck in the CD player and should be heard over the radio air waves, I hope someday the radio robots will get some good stuff in their brains. Jackpot - Weightless - SHE'S SO COOL hiding under the covers like a baby in the womb painting pictures of the devil swallowing the moon RADIO ROBOTS the ice cubes have melted a long time ago and the breeze was stirring up the weirdness cotton candy wasteland, brain rot city oblivious, haywire, consequences Modest Mouse - the moon & antarctica THE STARS ARE PROJECTORS all the stars are projectors projecting our lives down to this planet earth projecting our minds down to this planet earth Was their a need for creation? that was hiding in a math equation and that's this where do circles begin?

Ya' know, it's just my nature to question things, but I can't help wondering how easily ya'll consider such things as songs to be "...awe-inspiring, spine-tingling or lyrically thought-provoking." I mean, like, are you really awe-inspired by songs??? ...and by so many of them?? I try to reserve being "awe-inspired" by ...well, more "awe-inspiring" things, ya' know? Geez, I feel so alone in the world. Baron Max

Baron Max - I don't know you and you may curse me for life, BUT, go buy the 3 stinkin CD's I mentioned. You would be the biggest nincompoop (sp?) to base your disbelief in the possibility of actually feeling you made a worthy purchase. You can check them out on line, but that is pretty lame and is rather an injustice to the songs given you hear a snip it. futurefarmer.com grandaddylanscape.com For the most part they are all chill party CD's, most definately car music, have not met one girl who doesn't like them, it's cool dude music, they all speak about life and the meaning to them (only a couple girlie luv songs- mostly existence), some could fall asleep to them with the volume low. Rusty (from Jackpot-great voice and talent) paints amazing visuals I'm sure most can relate to, Jason (from Grandaddy- great voice and talent) ties the entire CD together from the perspective of Ned the space robot, I don't know the Modest Mouse fellas but they are all over theory of existance of the afterlife (not in a preachy you are going to burn in hell way, don't worry).

I can remember being awe-inspired by Yes singing Tales from Topographic Oceans.. Laying in the soft cool grass with headphones, the night sky a strangely glowing cerelian blue with puffy white cloud animal shapes and feeling the earth reeling under my feet... ah it was so fine... Bzzzt!
