::Ender Will Save Us All:Dashboard Confessional [ORIGINAL]

[Dreammage1]

listing to the song reading Ender's Game... like a boss

[MidwestSunrise]

I downloaded this song ages ago under the name "need" so I could never find anything about it online, aah! Glad I found it now. Describes perfectly what I'm going through..

"It's hard to explain how I am getting by on so little from you, it's hard to believe that I would let myself get so wrapped into you, there's gotta be something that would be worthwhile for me to give to you, we need a connection but you seem to push me far away from you.."

Beautiful song <3

[hurflower]

i always thought this version was better than the original

[JSH1830]

"Remember-the enemy gate is down." -Ender Wiggin

[jellocase]

Ender's game by the way is fucking amazing

[ryanwilk0]

I forgot how much I adore this song... so massively underrated!

[cantutizzy]

Sounds like he says "trying not to pee"

[swimmergirl3519]

i named my guitar ender(after this song)<3

[Re1Mu2R3]

@swimmergirl3519

Interesting. I named my guitar Semen because it's white..

[Jabber55555]

where can i find the chords to the original version of this song

[Companioncubicle1]

Ender is his middle name you idiots.. Christopher Ender Carrabba

[Shara7]

@Companioncubicle1 Your right. Also Aaron Gillespie said he talked to Chris and asked him about the song, and he said it means something totally different from what he thought... I just wish I knew what Chris said.

[nevaehxiii]

@Companioncubicle1 i was just about to comment that!

haha! a billion thumbs up man!

[PierzStyx]

@Companioncubicle1 Yes, and he is named after Andrew "Ender" Wiggin from Ender's Game. The song isn't about how he saved himself dolt. Its about how their mutual love for the book , one he is named after, saved their friendship.

[Companioncubicle1]

@PierzStyx  I never said the song is about him saving himself?

[Misterioso]

The lyrics are phenomenal but the vocals & guitar work is terrible.

[thekman1377]

i guess ender forgot to save 1 person...

[lateralpathways]

ender is his middle name, stupid

[daisyrockerdude]

Chris loved the book, he got his one friend into reading the book too and they both then loved it. Later on, Chris and his friend got into a fight and wouldn't talk to eachother, but he knew that this book was something that they can both relate to, so it would save their friendship, hence 'Ender Will Save Us All.'

[jihadpizza]

It's hard to explain how I am

getting by on so little from you

[tolleck]

His middle name is Ender and he also knows the book. Ender's Game is an amazing book btw.

[Re1Mu2R3]

This is the first DB song I listened to. Just amazing.

[BarDownSnizzzzy19]

his middle name is Ender Chris Ender Carrabba

[Kakashifu]

i dont see the connection between this and Ender?

[spence9302]

Not their best song... well i love it anyways. anything from Places You Have Come to Fear the Most is great. Swiss Army Romance songs are awesome too. Remember to breathe lp is breathtaking. And, anybody who has the time should hear Chris' first live version of "Thick as Thieves".

[haroldandkumar5567]

AMAZING. Just like all of their stuff. This is off, in my opinion their best album.

[emerilisevil123]

hate how tabs never quite give his songs justice. i need to get my hands on dc sheet music. hate payin for shit. chris is the man. i may be labelled gay among my metal friends but ill take awesome acoustic songs anyday! one of my favorites...

[wreckincheck]

I was looking on google to see what people thought were some of the best Dashboard Confessiona songs, and I was shocked that so many people didn't even include this song on their lists. This song is clearly the best.

[JRLLUnd]

Tooo many songs to choose a best. =D

[spence9302]

@wreckincheck they have so many good songs. this one's not their best, but solid. i like some of the new stuff but imo the best songs come from the best albums which are the swiss army romance and the places you have come to fear the most. they also have a couple great songs that it seems like no one has heard of from ep's like 'drowning' and 'the end of an anchor'.

[Bountyxhunter]

The title refers to know the singer used the Ender books to repair a broken friendship. Even though the song never makes a direct reference to Enders Game, outside the title, its still the unofficial theme song in some online circles.

[refreshingmint94]

i love dashboard confessional they are freaking amazing,

[Grayfox217]

chris carrabba is brilliant

[Gat003]

[laur1813laur]

[xeionx]

[xeionx]

oh wow, what a productive day that was..

[neolink1458924]

what does ender mean... answers PLZ reply

[xeionx]

it's from a book.. called Ender's Game

[dirtyniggs007]

this song doesn't seem to have any relevance to the book and/or series what so ever...

explain plox?

[parkxi]

well the singer's middle name is ender. lol just check wikipedia

[LoveHavokk]

it's about how Ender feels towards the people in his life, I see hints of Graff, Bonzo, and Valentine personally, graff in the first half of the verse, bonzo in the second half, valentine is the bridge,

[OJSimsonStoleMyfrito]

@LoveHavokk Don't forget Alai.

[zyxel420]

i read that joint lol. crazy book.

[RAZALAS92e]

@xeionx really? i thought was his middle name...

[yanghai]

@xeionx um... i don't think so, Chris' other name is Ender. He's Christopher Ender Carrabba (wikipedia source). So, in this song, Chris will save us all! haha! ~

[Jcki3]

@xeionx Really? Thats what I thought but I wasnt sure..

[TheSpectat0r]

@xeionx its not from that book. Its his name, Chris Ender Carrabba.

[thejybarber]

@TheSpectat0r THANK YOU. I was wondering, why is this song named after Ender's game? It has nothing to do with it. Thanks for clearing it up.

[JFrattiniCox1177]

@xeionx Holy shit really? I've had this book for years, never read it and never put it together.... derp

[ChristianSchor]

@xeionx That is true but is also Chris's middle name.

[butterflythtswhtshsd]

it's also chris's middle name.

[abigelow06]

@neolink1458924 also Ender is Chris' middle name

[jihadpizza]

@neolink1458924 its also his middle name

[PierzStyx]

@neolink1458924 Its the main character from Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, an excellent book everyone should read imho. The song is about how the singer and his friend had a falling out and their friendship would have been lost except they were able to grasp the last thing they both had in common, their mutual love for the book. Thus Ender saved them.

[jellocase]

@PierzStyx i wouldn't be shocked if that book did save their relationship, its too good.

[Reed7960]

@neolink1458924 His middle name also.

Christopher Ender Carrabba

[kjocharger21]

@neolink1458924 "Ender" is Chris Carrabba's middle name

[ak40kevn]

@neolink1458924 it's also his middle name.

[LoveHavokk]

@ak40kevn For a good reason, wonder why? jesus, everyone thinks this kid is gonna write a song about himself entitled "I will save us all"? fuck.

His parents obv loved the book(s).

[vixvixen88]

Thank you for posting both versions =]

[xeionx]

Enjoy

[xAcciox]

The longer version is way better...

love it.

[xeionx]

Yeah.. it's also moderately easy to play too.

[xeionx]

And how exactly do "You" make your videos? and how are you and HDFB colabbing? Do you guys know eachother, and what could i do to help, if granted.

[xAcciox]

We just bumped into each other one day on youtube? Sorry to say, but we don't need any help. =/

Just comment us, that's good enough..

Sorry if that made you feel excluded..

But we're pretty good as we are..

And, how do, I make my videos?

I just use Windows Movie Maker, it's really that simple. I just started out slow, and built up my creativity as I went along..

[xeionx]

It's no problem i'm used to exclusion and you probably don't mean it in a harsh way because you seem like a pretty nice person. i Make videos the same way i should add more pictures though. But i like the new pictures i have/made and put on new videos. They're rather err..interesting but i Love it! Cheers.

[xAcciox]

Okay, good, I don't like making people sad..

I'll fill you in if I need help, for sure.

[xeionx]

Thank You :] i'm uploading the full band EP version of Turpentine Chaser and The Sharp Hint of New Tears right now! Should be up in 20-30 mins because YouTube tends to be dreadfully slow. x_x!!!

[xeionx]

Turpentine Chaser is up. but YouTube *as long as it took* destroyed the quality..

[xeionx]

Okay, now SHNT is up.
