I can agree with your opinion that it might not sound amazing (could be the studio equipment). The album version sounds good and I'm sure it sounds good actually being there (my opinion). But to say the song Is "meaningless" means either A) you can't comprehend the words or B) you meant to say you don't like the meaning and due to some some mental disorder or vocabulary deficiency, you accidentally used the wrong word.
Meaningless lyrics?? You have to be kidding.. This song is about the parable of the prodigal son. One of Jesus' most meaningful parables. I think he did a great job of expressing the emotions of the family in this song. Very emotional and meaningful. The exact opposite of your interpretation.
@TheAzurha like a child singing at church....but leave me alone..he is so boring.....married with a huge band and now making country music....he is the typical american!! that no one here in europe can like it...sorry fella! thrice is good all togheter he is not at all alone....
really i cant stand this music......sorry but i am a huge thrice fan....he sounds like a normal boring country singer...and so meaningless lyrics. very very bad
@baseballbuckbuck i actually do hehe is a great artist generally...but with this music i am changing my thoughts......he really sucks....thrice is good he is not at all....just an avarage bedroom singer! ahah....i wish i could be in his bed though :)
This is the greatest musical setting of the Prodigal Son parable I have yet to come across. Dustin's solo stuff is really great (as is his Thrice work, of course).
hey guys if you like this check out city and colour (dallas green) ..he is the singer of alexisonfire and he has a bunch of solo work out and his voice its fucking god... let me know if you liked this comments and you agree with me thanks

@zullone Being alive for 30 years does not mean you know a lot about music. I don't know how much you know about music, but if you do know a lot, it's not just because you've existed for 30 years. I am an undergraduate vocal music major (I sing Western art music), and I disagree with your statement about the quality of Mr. Kensrue's music.
Just so ya know everyone, especially those of you who are dropping f-bombs and are complete metal heads and what not, this song is in reference to the story of the prodigal son from the Bible. Luke 15:11-32. Check out the story. It just might change your life.

i'm not a person who throws justin bieber comments, but i just demand an answer as to how that little fucker is earning what he's on and dustin kensrue, or thrice in general are still unknown. but i'm getting more the feeling that dustin is a humble man (it must be the beard) and turns down the offers. either way, YOU FUCKING RULE KENSRUE!
@whogotdmosh sadly its not about the music anymore in the industry..its about the looks and money. dustin is one of the most great musicians of our time...and thrice has been my fav band since 2000...
yeah, im into thy art is murder, veil of maya, born of osiris, necrophagist and stuff like that, but when i hear a really good acoustic artist, i love listening to them. dustin kensrue is one of these few artists.
Met Dustin last night and he was really great. He recommended books to read and he told us what some songs meant. It was the highlight of my year. I have a man crush
Dustin Kensrue is by far the most influential person to my original music and he is imo the best musician I've ever heard, closely followed by Dallas green =p
Everyone here, THRICE ISSSS THEEE BEST AND DUSTY ISSSS THEEE BEST SINGER/ SONGWRITER, best lyrics of all time is Dustin Kensrue/Thrice, followed by Jesse Lacey/Brand New
Dustin has made it clear that just because he wrote a song for one reason doesn't mean that you need to take the same thing from that song. His songs don't have to be religious if you dont want them to be... He is so talented and next to Dave Grohl my favorite artist around now...
It doesn't matter what his undertones are, it matters how you take and what it means to you. Dustin did this project because he wanted to express his feelings, thats all. Either way it's an incredible tune, i love it.
his solo cd is pretty religious so was vheissu. but christian or not songs are still awesome infact im pretty sure this song is based on the prodigal sun story fromt he bible in Uke15: 11-32... anyyyways religious or not he's amazing and deserves that much credit :)
me too! I'm tattooed everywhere- my entire body- into metal- hardcore and this song literally brings tears to my eyes everytime i hear - I can just picture the entire song and I lose it- 27/male and not afraid to cry. ha
exactly my thoughts....never thought i could sit down and enjoy this kind of music and then Kensrue finds a way=P incredible musician an lyricist. definitely my biggest inspiration to writing music.
i like how Dustin incorporates scripture into his songs like in "come all you weary" or "of dust and nations", and in "please come home". he doesn't care what people think or what record companies want he's just writing whatever is on his heart
the thing I love about dustin's voice is the way he sings (with thrice or single) is on the album is exactly how he sounds live. No added effects, delays, or phasers. Just a pure clean voice.
great song great voice great message
