"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.
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'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
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."
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
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.
