I take my meds every night because of this song. La Dispute I wish I could tell you personally, that you reached someone, and made someone's life better.
This whole song man. Gets me choked up. So much emotion in every word and instrument. This CD changed my life, that and lead me to Jesus Christ. Crazy to think where I was when this came out and where I am now. Cheers!
It's about a personal experience Jordan the singer had when working for a hardware store and an old guy, Edward Benz, came in with a broken door. He told him the back story of why it broke. That i happened when he tried to get into the locked home of his schizophrenic son, who then stabbed him 27 times and almost killed him. This song breaks my heart over and over and over. Amazing.
@@meagangardner7634 I forgot I made a comment like this when I saw the notification from your reply, thank you for that gift. Clean for about five years now
Almost deleted the email by accident, this was intense, people don't feel anymore, people don't care about others emotionally, people have emotions but they are all almost simply pathetic and petty now...this isn't, this was genuine. This was beauty, I truly needed this today, you can't begin to understand how much.
around 3:00 always makes me fucking ugly cry the whole song hits at once and it hits like a semi truck going mach 5. i don’t know what la dispute is doing right but literally every one of their songs are so emotionally intense for me and i love it but damn im just trying to drive home from work i can’t be tearing up im gonna crash 😭
I can't fucking get enough of them. I have listened to this album so much since it came out. I love them. They make me feel like its okay to be sad and fucked up. I don't know where I'd be without them.
there's this like hour long recording on their bandcamp site that is available for free and he just talks about the meaning of all the songs on the album
@anchilidas I think it's a short story that Jordan wrote, but I'm just guessing. I thought I read something about "Wildlife" having a lot to do with stories the band had written though.
this is wonderful. maybe wonderful is the wrong word. brilliant isn't right either. is the word "perfect" allowed? also, does anyone know what "27 times" means? all I can think of would be that's how many times he was stabbed, but does anyone else have insight on this?
