I hope you've got good people you can talk to. It's good to get those feelings out. Manchester Orchestra's music can be cleansing for the soul, for sure. I come back to this album whenever my emotions get stuck. Works every time, especially this live version.
I feel the same. In my country now one knows about them. When I speak about them they laugh… they didn’t even hear a song. I am passionated with this band.
The first time I heard them, I loved them, but I thought this song was a "breakup" song. The more I listened, the more I realized, they were telling a much bigger story. " ... A black mile to the surface -- I don't wanna be here any more - it all tastes like poison" "Forty miles out of east Illinois for that old man's heart attack", "You and me we're a day dream - so lose your faith in me" - this is one of the most HEART BREAKING songs I've ever heard.
This whole album is actually extremely intertwined and tells many stories from different points of view if you really dig in deep. A few really good synopsis online that can explain much better than me.
This song kills me, but it's so beautiful. I left my fiance that I'd been with for nearly 3 years just a couple months ago. She changed and things got so bad. One of the hardest things I've ever done in my life is accepting that the person I fell in love with wasn't there anymore. Nothing hurts like falling out of love.
Love is a 2 way. It may have been a feeling of love for you. Not for her though. The word love is misused. Because, Love. It's unanimous . Its twin flames and it is very rare. You don't fall out of Love. I wish it were possible.

❤ Lyrics: Couldn't really love you anymore You've become my ceiling I don't think I love you anymore That gold mine changed you You don't have to hold me anymore Our cave's collapsing I don't wanna be me anymore My old man told me You don't open your eyes for a while You just breathe that moment down. Forty miles out of East Illinois of my old man's Heart attack I believed you were crazy You believed you loved me I don't wanna bark here anymore Black hills, the colly Wasn't really dangerous for us We just catch you coughing What the hell are we gonna do? A black mile to the surface I don't wanna be here anymore It all tastes like poison Can't open your eyes for a while You just breathe that moment down Forty hours out of Homestake And I'm trying to translate you again I believed you were crazy You believed you loved me You and me, we're a daydream So lose your faith in me Can't open your eyes for a while You just beat that moment down You can't open your eyes for a while You just breathe I believed you were crazy You believed you loved me You and me, we're a daydream So lose your faith in me Lose your faith in me So lose your faith in me So lose your faith in me
This song is gut wrenching enough... ...then you see that emotion on his face as he re-lives every moment and destroys your soul with every stinging honest word. You can see the pain it promotes as he sings. If he does that for each audience every week, it will destroy him. Now that is craft perfectionism, if it was a film , he would be credited as one of the greatest method actors of his generation. Awe inspiring and incredibly moving. I certainly felt a strong connection to him , his music, and his words.
This hit me really hard. The love of my life lost her faith in me. "You don't have to hold me anymore. Our caves collapsing. I don't wanna be me anymore."
same here man. her and I found her mother about 3 months ago, suicide, and things have just been collapsing ever since. I'm leaving tomorrow to get the help I need, and I'm just praying she does the same and I don't lose her while I'm gone.
TimOD43 it's been a couple years since we actually found her father passed away(heart attack). Its been Rocky between us over the years. Recently we have gotten really close and it's been going great. Talks of a family and a future. I'm looking at engagement rings... Then I acted like an idiot out of anger and she left. All it takes is seconds to wipe away years. It's so hard to swallow. Hang in there brother. Get the help you need. I saw a to therapist yesterday and it was nice to let some shit out.
Just want both of you guys, TimOD43 and zacharybsmith1987, to know that there are innumerable reasons to live. Hang in there, be grateful that life still exists, and understand that you're not alone. From an internet stranger, I care for you guys, on a deeply human level, because we're all here together. Good luck, my friends.
So much love in these comments. This band has been following and helping me out through rough times. Love of my life and I broke up after a year of living together. Miss her like crazy. Doing everything right these days, just trying to become better. Gotta make it count, you know what I mean? We gotta move forward and be the best version of ourselves. Things have got to get better. Love you all and I hope things are turning out well.
Between the lyric itself combined with the pitch/tone change the last time he says “lose your faith in me”…. Never have I ever had a lyric resonate that deeply in my f***ing soul. I could just fold here and now in to tears
This is incredible and the whole album is one big art piece! I listen to this album as if it is a canvas. I love you guys!! You ALWAYS continue to amaze more and more!
This version of The Gold has been added to my very short list of absolutely perfect songs. The emotions run deep with this one!! Thanks for your beautiful souls.
I’m from Wv and you grow up to go work in the coal mines, chemical factories or in manufacturing. Blood,sweat and tears but it pays the bills and raises our families. This song might not have to do anything with working in Wv but it sure feels like it when I hear it. Beautiful 😢
Is nobody else noticing the change from "You can't open your eyes" to "You can't open your thighs"??? It went from "You can't open your eyes for a while, you just breathe that moment down" and this version absolutely says thighs instead of eyes
TheFinestGold Could have a lot to do with both of them having 6/8 time signatures. Personally, the start of Lead, SD sounds like something from Cope I can't put my finger on
Hey, that is the first thing that came to my mind when I first heard this. Never really been another way out is my favorite song from Cope, so it instantly popped to my head. Both are amazing, just mind blowing music coming out of these guys.
Beautiful job on this album guys. Can't wait to see you next month; it's been too long. I HOPE you guys can do another acoustic version of every song on this album as well.
I so hope your right?!?! Can’t see why they wouldn’t sound phenomenal in “Toronta” on July 9th….I’m really exited to see and hear those beautiful sounds that come from that beard…🇨🇦👍🏻
This reminds me of the vibe I got seeing Andy, Dustin Kensrue and Kevin Devine at the 6th and I synagogue in Washington DC. The vocals and sound in general was so clean and the reverberations in the 100 year old building hit you right in the soul.
