Cursive - The Martyr

[awagamgnalaw]

holy crap I haven't listened to this for years

[chicabobica]

This band had 2 amazing albums back to back.

[LaciGee1983]

Amazing!

[skyliespaw]

wrapped in a towel passed out on the floor these drunken hours graces deflowered!! yes yes yes!!

[Di5covery]

great song

[RatherBeWatchingPorn]

sweet. stereo.

[studiesruinedmylife]

I heard it in my sleep and spent all my waking time trying to find what song it was. Ahmazing

[TERRORCAR]

@studiesruinedmylife you're so full of shit, kill yourself.

[Mindlessvstheo]

Now that's how you write some fucking lyrics.

[dazedandawake]

iirc, Domestica is a concept album based around a divorce. Tim drew heavily from his own, but I'm not sure if it's explicitly about his own. Just messy relationships in general, especially cause the couple in Domestica make up at the end of the album.

I've got a cursive jacket :3333

[Npowell01]

The transition from "graces deflowered" to "cast down by an angel" is so perfect and almost Smiths-like in its execution.

Can't help but love the shit out of it every time I hear it.

[mark1800]

@Npowell01 you're right actually, as much as i loathe to admit any concession to the whine queen himself, ted does remind me a little of morrisey here. like, if morrissey had had a band that actually rocked the fuck out and didn't make poncey camp pop.

as you might be able to tell i don't really like the smiths... sorry though.

[Npowell01]

@mark1800

That's fine dude. Different strokes for different folks. No need to apologize for your taste in music.

[heymonkeytreat]

cast down by an angel

[TupacwuzaGorillaPimp]

this song is the shit. Cursive still around at all?

[ericambrosecoon]

@TupacwuzaGorillaPimp of course, they play shows all the time. I would recommend going.

[Roysterman]

@ alejandro15187

He is talking about how his wife left him because he was depressed.

[Ambiegg]

saw cursive couple of nights ago. they opened for alkaline trio. they were pretty good. really powerful live sound.

[lildshadow2]

I was at a Cursive Show last year in Hoboken NJ and these 2 drunk guys kept yelling THE MARTYRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr. they were obsessed with this song. If you drunk motherfuckers read this, fuck you both.

[cinderella886]

your tears are only alibis!

[poopymcassholenuts]

Strangled by the Nine to Five.

[WeshatesUtube]

Favorite song by Cursive.

[heddylovesemo]

me too!! i love this song...

[beatofthestreets]

shit the intro is so bad ass!

[acidxshane]

Can anyone help me with a fix?

[phylogant]

I love how they perform this song live.

[FritoSanchez]

What a completely brilliant fucking song. Piercingly emotional, and so powerful.

[TooFastForLoveXXX]

Great song, love the picture, and there's nothing wrong with MD 20/20..try orange jubilee..i can drink that shit all day every day

[HowlinJay]

EVERYTHING is wrong with MD 20/20. Bleh...horrid.

[payne9106]

Yes, absolutely horrible!

[mynamesbobby]

your tears are only alibis to prove you still feel

[raidthesound]

[emogoth9]

[adiosucks123]

[MusicDood777]

[beeberoo1]

@adiosucks123 holy shit, what a cool math teacher.

[christinahhh]

this is one of my all-time favorite songs.

[LaureNic03]

o me too!

[Logser]

Beautiful song, the Lyrics are some of the best I've ever heard.

[electrolust08]

the lyrics aren't that hard to interpret. the album is about singer/song writer Tim Kasher's messy divorce.

[DaRocker21]

Actually, it's about Jesus; but I'm sure Tim had also meant for it to metaphorically symbolize his ex-wife.

[alejandro15187]

no, dude, he's comparing his wife to Jesus.

[DaRocker21]

Oh. Now I see. I like that idea better.

[vickmysticjaguar]

really cool i like this one but aaa!!wait oohh!!umm theres more lol........

[TheNoLifeQueen]

This is beautiful.

Especially this one.

It always makes me go in deep thoughts.

[acedrawer19]

is youtube all about giving thumbs up and down now? haha

[beeve17]

That's because you don't know what the lyrics mean. There's a lot of subtle meanings in the song and it's brilliant.

[AddictiveDespair]

At least you said "in my opinion". For that, i wont give you a thumbs down.

[shadowstonar360]

Its the face it draws you in. lol great song

[morbidlyobese88]

Its the song that drew me in. Lol great face

[MJcorkie]

thats what got my attention xD

[kornnation1]

yeah so cursive is fuckin awesome. role model of an indie band. if that's not an oxymoron, which i think it might be. i dont want to think too much i've been indulging in this MD 20/20, which is not as good as my friends claimed it would be. fuckers.

So GET on that cross, that's all you're good for...

[ChristBurner]

hahah mad dog? your friends are mean hahaha

[kornnation1]

md 20/20 is actually like this wine-like drink that comes in all sorts of colors.

though maddog is actually pretty decent for a low-budget beer

[ChristBurner]

actually its disgusting and its not beer...so callin it "decent for a low-budget beer" is just wrong its not an opinion, your incorrect... i was just tryin to make a joke there was no reason for you to try and "school" me on alcohol. I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK MD 20/20 IS!!

[kornnation1]

i hate you.

[ChristBurner]

hahahaa

[gv1256]

its not disgusting

[magicdavid7]

Not what im used to but I think I might like these guys

[alejandro15187]

I'm drunk. But it's like Fugazi and The Cure got together for one night and created this perfect song. Ihope I wake up tomorrow and think the same way. Either way, I love this fucking song.

[RubyTuesdayLynn]

@alejandro15187 yes yes exactly what i thought!

[uiikxu]

yeeah it good!

[kisaa]

i love this song

[saberliner14]

[kazuowild7]

[kazuowild7]
