  • Very few songs I ever hear can literally make me cry due to the sheer beauty of the song..... this is one of them. Thank you Gentlemen.

  • What matters is what you get from this song... i know what it means 2 me. And 2 hear a diff meaning would only take that away... thanks 4 the song.

  • I love you so much.

  • this song is about a girl he loved who married someone else, then she dies, and he doesnt want to beleive it because hell never have the chance to have her love, and realising that will drive him crazy

  • The Daemon Lover....

  • Who are the 3 people that actually disliked this after sitting through the song? I mean seriously! Some people love to HATE!

  • Love this song, but I'm trying to figure out why he says 'eyes' as 'ees' two out of the four times he sings it...?

    Also, the first time I listened to this, I was doing something else at the same time and didn't realise that the song hadn't ended yet, so I put on some Coheed and Cambria and the little music bit at the end blended in so well with my favorite song that I didn't even notice it until suddenly out of my speakers comes this creepy woman's voice and scared the shit out of me! lmao

  • How is this band not more famous than Justin Bieber? When i heard them a few years ago i was sure they'd become the standard in Rock and Roll yet they seem to have faded into obscurity and every song off of there first 2 albums is genious there 3rd album is not bad.

  • I had been on a Hurt listening spree, missing my other half who's out of town for a bit, and dozed off. Just slightly. And the end part... "I love you so much" startled me awake.

  • all of the pain and the way it was, all of the hate and the shame because, i was in love with the way it was, left alone...

  • All the pain in the way it was, All of the shame and the hate because, I was in love with the way it was, All that I do, I do it for you, (3:56)

    I am not saying you was not right. These are just the lyrics I hear at that part.

  • I hate it and the people who label and relate every single thing to their religion just to make themselves feel better. Love the song, will definitely buy the album.

  • same here. for both parts. I already have to album! ^^

    In this next statement, I'm not saying religion is wrong or anything, but:

    "You may never change if you don't think you are wrong."

    Many people run into "road blocks" in life from the way they have acted and/or the way they think. Many times they don't know how to change it, because they think they are right.Part of that statement got me to the theory that.People do what they think is good .not based on morals, but in the instant it happens

  • @Velacroix

    That last statement was my reply, but I didn't have enough room :/

  • It's a song about a Mary of magdaline from the perspective of another who knew her, she loved Jesus and killed herself due to the crucifiction of her son. He said unto her..I didn't mean mean any harm and I pray for you my brethren for you do not know what you do..Don't fear, for I bleed for you.

  • Such a powerfully moving song...

  • I love this band. Never connected with any music as much as these guys. Every song is different and so meaningful!

  • i love the whole song,so much feeling to it and the guitar in the beginning was great as well.

  • thank you hurt... u have touched my soul. please dont change. epic,emotion.

  • if your the sad and lonely person who said you disliked this. i pray for you, i really dont aye, this song friken rocks too much!!!!

  • wow

  • I'm not really sure about this, but this might be right. If the house carpenter is actually supposed to be Jesus, then his lover is dead, right? She's in heaven. Is it just a story about his lover dying and him suffering? I love this song.

  • Hurt arent even my faveorite band, but it would be pretty insane to believe that they are not the most musically, and lyrically talented musicians to ever release music. such emotion, and deep thought in the music... i know i sound like im sucking them off BIG TIME but i cant describe it any other way.. this album should be rated one of the best of all time across every genre.

  • This is the ultimate song for Alan Wake.

    This should have been in it.

  • This is the most amazing, deep, honest feeling song i have heard in such a very very long time!! I am so engulfed by this song and this is the very first time i have listened to it!!

  • Awesome song... But i just dont understand y most of the people i know havent heard of this talented band. I mean i showed them to my previous gf and she loved them but everyone else is missing out on some great music. I dont want my fav band failing cuz no one pays attention to em. Its like losing a patent to cancer who never insisted on using a new cure cuz he/she never heard of it. How can something so great go unnoticed?!

  • @pred140 Man its a diamond in the rough anyone who is loves this music needs to find it themselves. One of the many pitfalls with popular (politically engineered) charts. It has so much more meaning and impact personally if you discover it for yourself.

  • haha my brother in law used to play with them thats who showed me hurt

  • god what a sad song, so beautiful! Great album.

  • They sound highly influenced by Tool, then again a lot of bands are, but these guys just make it sound original instead of completely ripping off :D.

  • @OHmygodXoBil3 i just wish more rock bands used their mind and wrote meaningful songs like HURT and not BS like new nickel back music.

  • @anthonyergo

    Yeah, honestly the really good bands are barely ever recognized, which sucks about music today :|

  • @OHmygodXoBil3

    The "arbitrary" and unconventional song design (e.g. verse|verse|chorus|verse|bridg­e|chorus|chorus) is what gives that impression.

    It takes a good musician to create a song using unique structure and keep it form sounding like a blob. Tool and Hurt are two bands that pull this off beautifully. I can't say either way that Hurt was influenced in such a way by Tool just because this style requires massive amount of originality and doesn't "follow" Tool's style/structure.

  • I'm pretty sure it's the Celtic thing, 'cause doesn't Nickle Creek have a song about the same folk song ? Or am I mistaken ... I adore J. He's the nicest celebrity I've ever met; he truly loves his fans. : )

  • Hurt and Tool... the smartest bands ive ever known...

  • every single one of Hurt's songs show true beauty and pashion for their music and fans. Katy Perry maybe whats "popular" now but her songs have no genuine impact on your mind whatsoever except for a catchy tune. Hurt's music leaves it's mark on your mind, your heart and your soul and for that reason Hurt will be far superior to most music.

  • its alone in this ship not shit.

  • @adiosalmaperdida

    the first time it's ship, the second time it's shit. I have the book with the lyrics. There are a couple of other small mistakes in the video, but overall it's pretty good.

  • There is song called house carpenter by a completely different band called nickel creek but the idea and some of the lyrics are similar "I heard your married to a house carpenter , your heart will never be mine"

  • why is it that every time a carpenter is involved their is discussion about Jesus christ

  • My interpretation of this song is: In the bible, Jesus was a house carpenter. Christians are told to put there love of god before that of their spouse, and so essentially its him morning the idea of not being first in love.

  • @LackOfAWittyName completely opposite actually the closest interpretation ive heard ( i cant remember if it was confirmed by J) was that it is about the devil coming to earth for his lover. only to find that she was married to another man (not Jesus).Then she gets on a ship with him and leaves. Its from some Old English poem. Again i will try to figure out where i heard this and find out more.

  • Hurt is like an Inkblot. Their songs can mean so many things that in all likelihood, whatever you think the song means, tells you something about yourself. If you think a song is about problems with God, maybe you have those same problems. Relationship problems? Missing your child? Hating your parents? Feeling disconnected from society? All there, can all be interpreted differently in different songs. I fuckin love Hurt for that.

  • Thing songs brings back so many memories, some happy others not so much. But what a brilliant song.

  • lmfao dude u didnt just compare Katie Perry to rock, >.> she is pop nowhere near this type of music, incase you've been misinformed or unupdated on the real world music has change and now their are genre's

  • actually katie perry is a version of alternative rock which i find pathetic and he was just pointing out the horror our new civilizarion has done to music don't gotta be mean about it

  • my top fav bands of all time #1 Nirvana #2 Alice in chains # 3 Cold #4 Hurt #5 Pantera! best bands with great music long live,the 2 living bands rr the only good rock left on my opinion rock sucks cuz its not what its used 2 b i mean katie peery!!??wtf!!! cummon what happend 2 pink floyed zeplen hendrix man guns n roses n my top 5 those are the list of great musicians n music now everything sucks downgraded even rap is not good 2pac mac dre eazy etc these were true rappers.

  • loven it its extrodanary

  • One of my favourite songs... And there's a different interpretation for every one. That's what I love about Hurt... It doesn't seem like the average, run of the mill, mindless-lyric "music".

    Music is a universal language! And I absolutely adore these guys.

  • very good song +1

  • 'All of the shame and hate because i was in love with the way it was, all that i do; i do for you' Amazing lyrics! Great song!

  • @ZanxKrogian don't forget the first part! "All of the pain and the way it was....all of the shame and the hate because.."

  • According to Hurt's forums, there are MANY interpretations of this song, yet NONE have been verified....Some reference the poem you mention....The lead singer has said it is from the old Celtic folk song "The House Carpenter". Which ever you prefer to believe, or if you have your own interpretation, one thing remains.....It is an amazing song.

  • @droopee2005 yes it is an awesome song thanks for uploading

  • @droopee2005 Uhm, this song is clearly about someone he loved. Jesus was supposedly a house carpenter. I read a statement from the band, saying that this song was about someone who was unable to love one of them because she had given herself to God.

  • @free2breathe Actually I think that the song isn't actually about the Daemon Lover but a reference to it, since The vocalist (I believe) had a lover that died. He's referencing the story because it was as you said the devil that came back for her so his symbolic counterpart would be the house carpenter she leaves in the story. That being said he more or less is saying his lover is in heaven in contrast to the story. The rest of the lyrics also show the person in question was important to him.

  • PRO AS.

  • my only problem but this song is that i think that almost 2 minutes of only the sound of rain fall is a little too much. other than that this is one of my favorite songs

  • u have a small package parcel

    from Xx Phreaq xX

    cya on halo

  • The Rain is what makes the connection between Vol. 1 and Vol.2, this is the final song on Vol. 1, and if you listen to Summers Lost, it starts with rain, and is the first song on Vol. 2.

    These albums were made to be listened to together.

  • and if can play both songs on guitar like me you can hear that summers lost is just about like house carpenter just a little bit differnet!

  • great video with lyrics. I search for songs with lyrics like these but there never on the video great fucking job.

  • ur mom gives me chills....nah jk.... best song by hurt

  • That last part has always given me chills. No one ever listenend to it, but when i first heart it i was like mortified its just so beautifully ghastly... its a perfect conclusion. I wish they did something similar in Summers Lost.

  • one of the best songs on vol.1! sad song also! i can play the whole song on guitar!

  • Was wondering if you could send me where you found to play this or if you have the music uploaded and could send it to me. I would love to play this on guitar.

  • Fking awesome

  • who the hell is "nickel creek"? sounds like a bunch of weirdos...lol

  • love this song!

  • is this a rip off or a cover of Nickel Creek's "House Carpenter"?

  • Why not listen to both songs and say "Does this have the same lyrics or music?"

    I'll save you time though, it's not.

    Next time don't be so lazy.

  • Actually, both songs are based off of an old British ballad name The Daemon Lover. Google it, it's quite interesting, and Hurt's version is one of many many by musical artists of various genres. Bob Dylan is one of the more prominent of those artists.

  • no nickel creek's song isnt the same though they have same name. this song is about jesus. jesus was a carpenter read a bit in the bible he only traveled the last 3 yrs of his life

  • oh wow... maybe it was actually a carpenter... you know like the MILLIONS of them around the world

  • Well, normally I would see your point, but having come from a guy that takes his name (J. Loren Wince) from the bible words meaning pain and hurt, considering what happened to his brother, considering songs such as "Rapture" and "Talking to God", I would say this House Carpenter is referring to Jesus. You cannot just assume it is a random House Carpenter, you have to pay attention to the band if you want to understand their songs. This is a very creative band, give them that, they deserve it.

  • What happened to his brother???

  • Awsome song !<33 Thanx for upoading, nice lyrics ;)
