need is a relative thing these days, it borders on desire.........
I love that line....a great reality check......such a perfect closing song and I so hope he plays it in Vegas this year!!

Someday I Will, because the first time I heard it live was the encore at the MSG show after September 11. Although dancing with a hot babe during Autour du Rocher wasn't too bad either.

My very favorite song by anyone ever-
IT'S CHRISTMAS AND
MY BIRTHDAY, AND SO TO THAT EXTENT,
I CHOSE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE I WENT!
damn, I'm good!

Tonight I Just Need My Guitar. Jimmy's vocals are great, the lyrics are superb and it's nice that Jimmy and Mac can write and play such nice music together. I like the strings.

Far Side. i actually feel like I am traveling with jimmy when I hear this song. So descriptive of his travels and life. Tonight I Just need my guitar is a very close second though.
This album did produce Jimmy's 2 least favorite songs of mine thought. Hokey Pokeu and Autour are unlistenable for me.

I really love this whole album, but Savannah Fare You Well is my fav. I even sing along with it (when my roommate is not home)

This was the "new" album when Jeepgirl and I embarked on our second go-round and all of the mushy songs really spoke to me. MVVD haunted me, but I picked ATWIWY because it was really how I felt at the time.

Personally, I went with the title track, but it was a very close call over both "Someday I Will" and "Tonight I Just Need My Guitar".
I think FSOTW is similar to OPH in that it encompasses so many differing musical styles, and lets the entire band shine.

Really tough decision between Farside of the world and Tonight I just need my guitar but Far side of the world edges out on my vote.

Not heard TIJNMG until earlier this year. First time I thought what was that? Then it grew on me and when I heard it live in Pittsburgh (by then I knew all the words) it left a mark on me forever.
