Most Meaningful Phish Song
So as the newcomer to a blog with 1200+ posts, it's hard to know what's been covered and what hasn't. Some would make a careful reading through the complete before posting a comments whore post like this; others are . . . well, me.
Here it is: Which Phish song is the most meaningful to you, and why? Not necessarily your favorite song, or the best jam song, or the best lyrics, though it could be any of these things. Just the most personally meaningful. The one that speaks to you the strongest.
For me, it's this one. Quiet and simple, almost unassuming, it speaks of the awe and epiphany, of the humility and messiness and toil, of creative expression. It speaks of reaching the top of the artistic mountain, however battered, and finding that you still want to climb.
Plus I love those Page songs.
How about you?

this is a tough one...but my most thoughtful/fav lyrics are from the lizards...i love the story and the secret is to "surrender to the flow"
The Divided Sky. Epic.
one of those first runs of the song piper. Even on the tapes of that song the momentum wants to bring you into a frenzy the nature of the progression makes you feel good. reba is there most technical song and i like it alot but piper just makes me feel good.
Slave.
I'm a n00b 4 life, so it's YEM... It takes me so many listens before I even pay attention to lyrics, so the journey during all of YEM's movements really captured my brain skull..
seeing pebbles and marbles at the last* (until june 7th) camden show will forever stick out in my memory
Welcome to the team! I'd say the most meaningful Phish song for me is Silent In The Morning. It felt like the soundtrack to my love life in high school.
Squirming coil
Ghost...it's a different ghost story each time.
I'm not gonna lie...Antelope is my shit! When I think of some of my favorite moments traveling to shows, this songs pops up in my head most often. Now we only have to hope they keep the Antelope running a bit longer this time!
Disease. Lyrically and musically. I always felt it was a touch hypocritical to keep singing that song for ten years. I've also often thought that it was the saddest song to ever make 100,000 people dance.
Suzy Greenberg...it's a rarity and that is absolutely what makes it so memorable and wicked awesome.
Mikes ---> Weekapaug Groove and Antelope they always brighten my day no matter what the circumstances are!
Boy
Man
God
Shiiiiiiiiit.
Dirt... It tells me what the difference between who we are ... and who they are.... I guess not all people can handle free will.

pauly - i could write a whole post about this - let me know if you want me to.
Reading all I can about Phish, as I am so stoked for my weekend getaway (Deer Creek + Two Alpines). For me, nothing will ever compare to Velvet Sea, the first time I ever heard it live. I get goosebumps just thinking about it :)
Strange Design-"Just relax your doing fine, swimming in this real thing that I call life. Can I bring a few companions on this ride?"...
Also Julius-"Cause a week is a month is and an hour a day, when your reaching just pushe it further away now. With your past and your future precisely divided, am I at that moment? I haven't decided..."
"Birds of a Feather", was always a favorite. So many people dis' it but I can relate and interpret it in my own way. I always thought it was about creating your own scene instead of fitting into or getting sucked into someone else's scene. Many peeps of one scene. If you dont do your own thing, you might end up pecking at the ground and strutting out of stride.
POSSUM NUFF SAID
Waste. Because there is nothing I'd rather waste my time doing.
