Oh I got one...because when I listen to their music I can see images of it in my head...anybody else see some kind of visual?  Hey, especially with "I think I'm going to Hell."  Of course the visuals are related to the lyrics most of the time.  And this happens only sometimes when I listen to other kinds of music like Radiohead or maybe Boards of Canada.  But, with MMJ it happens ALOT and the images are usually very strong ones.  well there ya go!

That is a great one.


Because they played a show in a planetarium.

As a couple people kinda mentioned, their music has a way of touching me in so many different ways and the music compliments the different moods I get into.  I've never connected with a band and their music like I've connected with My Morning Jacket.

One of my favorite songs from them is "I Think I'm Going To Hell" and one of my favorite lines from them "Take me out of this dead-end nightmare, Take me out of this hell I'm in."  I don't feel depressed when I listen to these songs, but somehow feel uplifted.

The way the music grabs me by the throat and demands "Listen!" that and the fact that they are a bunch of truly beautiful human beings...
Sittin' here with me and mine.  All wrapped up in a bottle of wine.

They put my sometimes troubled soul at ease. Bob Marley does that too.
That's motherfuckin' John Oates!

Because I don't think I have EVER wanted to skip one of their songs or stop one in the middle...

Because Jim's voice is like magic and ghostly and chocolate sprinkles and a big warm hug... and his lyrics... and songwriting...

Because Carl is one BAD ASS guitarist...

And Patrick is a ROCK of rhythm...

And Bo so subtly adds his own magic to the mix...

And every concert I go to, I can't stop screaming and jumping up and down, and SMILING, SMILING, SMILING...

and there's just no randomness about it. it all fits perfectly together for me :)

TTT is the reason for the season.  Like Coke, he is the real thing.  Wait, like U2, even better than the real thing.  Wait...

1) Every Week I have a new favorite song.
2) They want to be so big and you can see it - it gives me chills thinking about it.
3) My most important reason - I found people like you guys who feel the exact same way I do about the band...i dont feel so crazy for loving them so much.
God damn those shaky knees.

Found one more reason:

- I know that Jim James will never stop making music...ever...just like neil young and bob dylan never stopped.   It makes me so happy to know that.
God damn those shaky knees.

I got my Jacket on and I'm nice and warm on the inside but I feel like a fuckin mickey mouse bar on the outside.    ( My fav off the ice cream truck ).  Can't wait till I see him again.

The fact that they are down with Andrew Bird and they know that he fucking owns.

I did NOT mean to neglect Tommy.  :-[ He is the thunderous bassline that keeps this train chuggin along.

Plus, Highway to Hell tickled me to death at the Fill!!! I still giggle when I listen to it again!

Because as fucked as life can be....and for me as of the past year, it's been a little extreme at times.......But as crazy as shit get's around me, for that 4 minutes, hell maybe even that 10-12 minutes that I'm playing their music, and Jim's words.....for that short period of time, I'm finally at ease for that moment in time. It's soothing, and frankly grips me like none other has.

In all honesty......I'd hate to think of where I would be at right now had I not found
it. I certainly would not be here typing to you wonderful folks either.......What If?
