Bed of Roses has a very intense effect on me. I had heard the song on a bootleg long before it was released and didn't quite understand all the words. Those very words, when I understood them for the first time on the Evening With concert on MTV brought me to tears.

When I finally realized why Jon kept saying Something to Believe In was positive, it floored me! It's all in how you hear it. One way it's very negative, the other way it is very positive! I was driving and finally heard it the positive way and started crying. WOW.

Dying Ain't Much of Living makes me cry too. It such a lonely, desperate song and such a cry for help. The kind of pain that Jon had to be in to write those kind of lyrics... it hurts to think of him hurting so much.

Cold Hard Heart is like the musical equivalent of someone ripping your heart out of your chest and stomping on it. It envokes the feeling of heartbreak.

Dry County takes me on an emotional journey... from hope to despair to depression, to acceptance, and back to hope.
