Thrice - Beggars (B side) Red Telephone 5 of 5

[MegaLife2008]

Man I love thrice I stop listening for a couple of year because after there artist and the ambulance album they start to change their style a little now theyre so soft that I have kinda of lost interest however I do like that they increased there vocals in regard to there faith but they need to stop take a breath and rewind.

[cristinalovexo]

Does anyone know where I can get just the bonus tracks?

[briancobes]

I wish this song took the place of "At The Last." This is just more raw and visceral and kind of fits with the "All the World is Mad" vibe. Oh well.

[Waterworks410]

@sherubiii no they didn't, i downloaded mine yesterday and it worked just fine.

[TheNewIdiotBox]

@ Bluejerra,

Dustin explained in an interview that there is an anagram within the line "Son, imitate death's true face" that helps explain the meaning of this song.

If you sort out the letters, you can come up with "the united states of america".

The rest of the lyrics describe a shame for deaths caused by our government (in a mansion on a hill). The red telephone seems like a reference to the red telephone that links the white house to the military.

@TheNewIdiotBox

'ey, do you happen to know if that interview is available for listening anywhere? I'd like to hear it explained, m'self.

[Bluejerra]

@TheNewIdiotBox that's pretty deep. The USA thing is hard to pick out though

[miknow13]

@TheNewIdiotBox DEEP.

[Paweljarski]

If BBC America uses Thrice for their adverts, then that CERTAINLY isn't a bad thing.

[Firebreather832]

Oh Ed, how I do love your backup vocals.

[alexgarch]

@Firebreather832 im pretty positive thats tepei do the back ups

[EverydayAdventures]

Lol when I first thought of this I thought of Doctor Who. We can all thank BBC America for that.

[Bluejerra]

Does anyone want to explain this song? It's one of my favorites but I don't know what i means! =(

[brandnewbysink]

@Bluejerra

Hey could you post the link for that interview? I love reading thrice interviews and id really like to see it

[wilkoskies]

Middle bit very incubusy. Can't be a bad thing

[mmmtaquitos]

@wilkoskies

really? how so?

i did think that about a tiny bit of the vocal melody in 'burn the fleet' though. super tiny. when dustin sings 'around' in the chorus the second time it's pretty much the same vocal melody for the end of 'warning' (& a few times throughout). it's so small but it really stuck out to me for the longest time and i just wanted to share :)

[thrice39]

going along with the "united states of america" anagram...here's my train of thought:

mansion on a hill - white house/capital hill

red telephone - isn't that what's used to dial up nukes?

sum of all fears - nuclear thriller novel

graves/gray land/rain - nuclear fallout?

eeeehhh? how bout it?

[thrice39]

p.s. Thrice is THE BEST

[gddmnsnfbtch]

so right

[littlemonkeyeric]

How do i get this song!? DL link anyone?

[Benellem]

middle bit incubus much?

[wibbscoulson]

how come i bought the physical copy and didnt get the download card...was proper gutted, i well wanted these songs

[HCxDav3man]

go back to the store from where you bought it from and get a new album

[geegeeforlife289]

fucking love it

[mdichirico]

Seriously addicted to this album

[kmcgill794]

kensrue covers bruce springsteen ALOT, he has a song mansion on the hill, i wonder if he is kinda referring to that. idk just throwin it out there.

[awakefromyourlife]

You have little to no depth of appreciation for art and music, I would say. If you had any sense at all, you would at LEAST listen to the message (and having obviously read prior comments you of course saw the person who commented and said what the anagram in the song was) and take something from it

[OMFGallusernamesgone]

i actually wish this song was on the album, in my opinion this beats out half of them on the album. This is by far from the worst song, in the album though, the only part that I disliked was the verse of wood and wire and the fact that "talking through glass" had an outro.

[FrigidNorthlanderMN]

Well, Staledorito, I'd say every opinion has its own weight to consider, but yours is coming from a guy who likes nu-metal acts like Seether and Staind, so your opinion is invalidated.

[awakefromyourlife]

hahahahahaha word

[Kuechel]

This song is really similar to wood and wire.

[CoheedHero]

Wow I'm really grad they at least released it to the public, even if it wasn't on the record. I don't know why though, they guaranteed could have fit it on there somewhere. 10 songs seems pretty short to me.

[Kuechel]

They didn't put this out because they other ten leaked. They wanted something to be saved for the release date. You can get these songs if you buy the CD in stores as opposed to digitally.

[Toomapoosh]

This song should be on the album more than the other b-side, but I can sort of understand why it didn't make it.

[andjusticeforfran]

are these songs bsides on the cd? i downloaded it on itunes.

[HCxDav3man]

you can only get it if you buy the physical CD, which comes with a download card to get these songs

[ShadowistofNorgannon]

This song brings the best of both worlds... (and no im not referring to hannah montanah)... it still has the hardcore feel of Artist and Vheissu, with the acoustic and epic feel of beggars and alchemy. Truly an amazing song.

[useddiabetic]

Why was this god damn masterpiece not on the album. God dammit my mind has been melted.

[olivemitten]

this is the single most amazing song i have ever heard and i can not think of a single reason why it should not have been on the album

[awakefromyourlife]

I completely agree.

[strife2xlr8]

I can't believe this wasn't supposed to be on the album... this song is spectacular.

[dannynat88]

"Son, Imitate Deaths true face" is an anagram for The united states of america

[staledorito]

If this fucking song had a fucking vagina i would fuck the shit out of it!!!!! FUCK YEA!!!!!! I LOVE FUCKING BEGGARS!!!!!!

[dannynat88]

hahaha

[andrewlozano]

i otta make love 2 u for saying tat man...sweeeeet haha

no homo...ehh who cares

[Cactus78]

IMO this should be the next Thrice single. I can already imagine a sick as music video in my head just from the imagery the lyrics create.

[theevilRevolverDCM]

FUCKING BADASS

yeahhhh

this song is totaly

strong and diferent than

any other strong song from thrice

it has a metal base with a touch of beggars

[HCxDav3man]

FUCK YEAA!!!

[SwaffyX]

@HCxDav3man I have added you to my short list of really cool people.

[thekevingalland]

ok this is genious....

[restate123]

This song is absolutely spectacular!
