The Middle was the first JEW song I’d heard (I was in high school) and then Bleed American after that. It wasn’t until my sister’s boyfriend (now my brother in-law) burned a copy of the album for her that I heard it in its entirety. I ended up essentially stealing it from her. I liked it a lot but the first time I heard Cautioners was my “holy shit” moment. Then I read about everyone’s love for Clarity on AP and so I sought that out. Was blown away and felt like I’d both missed out on something previously and also discovered a wonderful secret at the same time. They are the one band I think I have been a fan of the longest. It’s a real gift that they’re still together.
Top 10 JEW songs no order Appreciation Invented Closer For Me This is Heaven Goodbye Sky Harbor 23 Cautioners The World You Love Lean Sure and certain I think
Thinking of Goodbye Sky Harbor today. Anyone here ever read A Prayer for Owen Meany? When I first finished it as a teenager, I went and listened to the song and how the lyrics clicked, and everything just hit so much harder. I cried with joy.
This is eerie! I was thinking about that song yesterday and brought Clarity with me in my car to work today. I have read Owen Meany, I really liked it. The song and book are so great, and I love when music and literature come together like that.
I really like Damage. Some very good songs on that one. I'll try to do a best song list. Tried to pick from every album. Sure and Certain How'd You Have Me Mix Tape Chase This Light Work Kill If You Don't, Don't Sweetness Lucky Denver Mint For Me This Is Heaven
Ten best songs? Yikes. Keep in mind I've barely listened to Damage or Invented: A Crush Goodbye Sky Harbor Sweetness Work Kill Night Drive 23 Big Casino You Are Free Pol Roger "Sweetness" is, for my money, one of the best pop songs of the past twenty-five years.
Damage is terrific, Integrity Blues is even better. I love that this band continues to top themselves. Also I can’t wait to see them for the first time next month!
Reall tough to just pick 10 JEW songs, but here it goes: Goodbye Sky Harbor Lucky Denver Mint For Me This is Heaven Hear You Me Bleed American 23 Kill Big Casino You Are Free The End is Beautiful Honorable mentions: Night Drive, Polaris, Clarity
Just Watch the Fireworks Clarity Cautioners Polaris 23 Invented Appreciation The End is Beautiful Integrity Blues Pol Roger That was extremely painful.
Which is why I don’t bother. It would all depend on what I have going on that day. Am I sad or angry? Happy or lonely? I can’t be bothered to make a list because of that. Top 10 Jew songs 1. Almost every JEW song. Done.
Going to be a douche and blast this across Chorus. Trying to get a discord server going for listening parties for Chorus.fm. If any of you are interested, I'm playing Republic Of Wolves' album shrine right now with Integrity Blues on deck to come on right after. I have it set up that if you connect to voice chat you'll hear the album at the same time as everyone else. Figure it could be a neat way to simultaneously listen and chat about the album together. Here is the link https://discord.gg/49w4J3f

songs like cautioners and 23 used to make my list every time but for some reason I gravitate toward other songs on their respective albums first now
