Loved this band for almost 25 years and their music has gotten me through so much. I’m an atheist so their spiritual allegory isn’t why I love their music so much, it’s the talent for melody and lyrical poetry that grabs me. This particular song helped me during a period of life in 2017 that was dark and lonely, and it hits deep any time I hear it. Thanks homies.
There was a sound out of c n c drum kits at this era and maybe a bit before that just made it a thing. Coheed and thrice and some others. Just great sounding kits.
Getting introduced to Thrice was single biggest impact made on my life. I don't know what I would do without them. They will always and forever be my favorite band
The fact that this song uses lines from some of their best older songs - and that they named it Anthology….it couldnt BE more perfect. My vote for the best band to ever do it. Whos with me? And to sound like this live…
I know this is from Major/Minor, an absolutely incredible work.. A master piece really. But as I'm almost 43, long time die hard fan, I cannot believe what a legendary work the Alchemy Index is. The full work. The symbolism. The depth. There is a message there I got snippets of as I enjoyed various songs, but now 15 years later, seem to spiritually cry out from within me as I join in song. I am curious what people will think of it 100-200 years from now.
The depth of the concepts, motifs, symbolism and everything else in the alchemy indexes is absolutely just incredible. All of Dustin’s writing just hits me so personally and spiritually. He truly has a God-given gift. Everything I try to write comes off as cheesy and overdone haha. But even the writing here, in Major /Minor and up to their most recent stuff is just as good.
@@skeevingwinker4417 absolutely. A calling from God is how I see the band and their work. So many people sleep on them, only a few I know listen to them. Many have no idea what they’re missing out on.
Thrice has undeniably been one of the most influential bands in my life since I was 13 or 14..... I am now 35. I have grown with them and undoubtedly they have made a monumental impact on my life. Even knowing they are strongly rooted in Christian beliefs and I am solidly in the Atheist camp(not preachy about it, my choice make your own.), it makes no difference to me. the message in their music is still just as strong and powerful. Thrice fan for life.
Lyrics: Our life's built of tin cans and string But the cornerstone laid is a Wondrous and beautiful thing Sure in the ground And while the north wind has taken its toll You have helped me to find my way Back and to anchor my soul Safe in the sound Oh, you know me Oh, and I know you And I know that We can see this through I bragged of baring my bones Said if we heard the howling I'd run out to face it alone To meet it half way But I've still got badges to earn So keep sifting my soul 'Cause I think that I'm starting to learn To love you that way Oh, you know me Oh, and I know you And I know that We can see this through And it's true that you could snap my neck But I trust you'll save my life instead 'Cause our love is a loyalty sworn If we hold to our hope Then I know we can weather the storm Whatever they say, come what may Oh, you know me Oh, and I know you And I know that We can see this through
