A little while ago jesse set out on an adventure to find songs that rocked her soul. I decided to partake in this journey as well. I love any excuse to listen to a whole lot of music. For this first one I wanted to find one that people wouldn't expect coming from me. People that know me would probably be expecting something from Elliott Smith or the Beatles. Well, not so fast. I pulled this one out. This song first came out about nine years ago and rocked the whole world. Everybody on this planet knows this song but that doesn't make it any less awesome or meaningful to me. It doesn't have to be something obscure or undiscovered. This is about the music.
There is just something incredible infectious about this song and Every time I hear those first few notes and then the drums and vocals come in, I get tingles all over. I have heard this song well over a hundred times in the last nine years and everytime it still has the same effect. Thats what I am searching for in this journey. Now, the song you all know- "The Middle," by Jimmy Eat World.

I support this choice. Jimmy Eat World was one of the first bands I ever truly loved. I haven't listened much to their last few albums, but I still really, really like Static Prevails and Clarity, and to a lesser extent, Bleed American.
This is a great song. The acoustic version is also very good.
