Okay i'm going to try to do this without too much though or i'll fall into the trap of a lot of other people and not be able to choose looking at Brendan songs thinking "but i love that one toooo!" lol.
So in no particular order i'm going to go with....
WILF - As Jess said, it seems to fit what ever you might want it to say...."here i am still stumbling down a darkened street" seems to fit my life perfectly, i've been to uni and all that but still i don't really have a clue where i want my life to go...
I think thats the thing about why we get so passionate about Brendan songs, is that, we can make them mean whatever we want them to mean. It might essentially be a cliché but its the most perfect cliché that every one can relate something to.
Me Just Purely - Again like Jess said (sorry to be a big analytical thief) but there is something about the strain in his voice that makes it sound so passionate. I dunno, in some sort of "I'm Blessed" kind of way, i associate it with my life, like i might sort of resent where i'm from, but thats who i am. As much as i might try to escape, this place is always going to be a part me and you've just got to deal with that.
And then finally, Cold Hands - I feel if i only had the tiniest amount of talent that Brendan has, then i literally could have written this song myself, like Brendan just looked inside my brain and took a huge part of my life and turned it into an amazing song. I mean, literally, every single lyric describes a situation i went through, most notably "and we've got to end it before its too late, and the love that is left turns quickly to hate". It just means a lot me, my personal experience, that it used to hurt to listen to.
Like i say, i think thats the thing of why Brendan's fans get so passionate, is because his choice of words, as much of a cliché as some of them might be, the way he phrases it just makes so much sense, that so many people can relate to, everyone finds something that he says relates to their own life in a way i've never found in a musician before and its amazing!
Uhuh!
;D
