I could do this for most of their songs haha

 

"Rivers of sadness and mutual need in the loud desperation of social routine, rock of salvation lightly esteemed, distance is surging like oceans between us."

 

I tried to draw a picture that captured this to get a tattoo and failed after dozens of attempts. I wish so badly there was a way I could do it.

 

the Sun and the Moon are my Father's Eyes x 1,000

 

yup yup, Aaron's lyrics are 100%, top notch, support everything said above. i could list the entirety of songs as my "fav lyrics"
Glass Can Only Spill are just phenomenal front to back. Nine Stories is another favorite of mine musically and lyrically.
Plus, the ending of Fiji Mermaid?
"Did you come knocking on my door
Or did I come to yours?
Whose ship came washed up on whose shore?
And from what ocean floor?

There wasn't much to her dress
and I felt stuck in my body like a horse in quicksand...

Didn't you come knocking on my door?"
the way Aaron sings/yells that kills me every time

 

Forty feet, my legs won’t move
but as you improve, we all improve
Fill our den with acorn mast,
I’ll wake before the salmon pass
Ten foot more and nothing moves

 

Welp, going to binge mewithoutYou all day at work now because of this thread.

Will update thread with lyrics as they come to me.

 

I've been trying to get into this band for years and I think these last weeks I have finally been able to appreciate how good their music is. I've been listening to at least one of their albums every day. Also, I think Ten Stories is definitely their catchiest record, it feels kind of underrated.

 

I would agree that Ten Stories is under rated

 

I'm a donkey's jaw on a desert dune
Beside the Bush that Moses saw
That burned and yet was not consumed
She's the silver coin I lost,
I'm the sheep who slipped away
We pray the fingers crossed
But you listen patiently anyway

 

take down the guitar
AND STRUM THE GUITAR

 

In case y'all are Why? fans, they just announced a new record to be released on 3/3/17 and Aaron Weiss is going to be on a track :)

 

I love Fig with a Bellyache:

"We pretend to care and like we understand, our eyes go soft but know it now: What we're thinking about's your mammary glands and how to sail your birth canal.
We found the pot that fit the lid no less now then when we were smarter did.
Our thoughts are like a tea bag on the saucer, all the flavor gone.

That Dog below our waist's aroused, as arms embraced the pretty Gals.
It came much more as a surprise, it happening while I hugged the guys.
We planted for the final frost, we once were found and now we're lost.
We got a heck of a lot to learn about remaining Taciturn."

 

bless this

 

Elephant in the Dock is so good

East Enders Wives, too

 

And Aubergine, oh God

 

Four Fires is fantastic and super underrated.

 

i hope they make this into an actual poster

 

IF I WAS SAMSON I WOULDVE FOUND THAT HARLETS BLADE AND CUT MY OWN HAIR SHORT

 

The preference of the sun was to the south side of the farm
I planted to the north in a terracotta pot
Blind as I'd become, I used to wonder where You are
These days I can't find where You're not

 

Yep. TS doesn't get enough love.

 

Doesn't it? I feel like it's more loved than AB and It's All Crazy!

 

AB is right up there with CFUTF as far as being held in high regard among the post hardcore community. They occupy the same space as Full Collapse, Relationship of Command, Worship & Tribute, etc

 

Idk I just feel this thread is always on a B,S hype wagon. Though for good reason(it's an amazing album) I just prefer TS, and Catch.

 

I've always thought a lot of people loved Ten Stories on here.

To be honest, they've got at least four albums that most people would say are a class above any record that other bands put out so I don't mind where people fall on the 'favourite' album question. And the two albums I've not included there (AB and it's all crazy) are great in their own way to the point where some will prefer them.

The only conclusion: what an incredible band.
