La Dispute - Sad Prayers For Guilty Bodies

[gedroogdevis]

Is this a Shakespear poem?

[pikachu31011]

I look at his music as pure art. It's so original and brilliant.

[BENZEL4EVUR]

0:55 gives me goosebumps.

[lisaschneider72]

the end is epic. nothing else. just genius.

[N3verShoutAlways]

I like his lyrics, I am not fond of his singing voice though, but the screams are good, kind of reminds me of The Used in a way.

[CAZTG]

@MsJoejon1 ...well I bet you can't make this kind of artful music half as well as these guys- In fact I don't think many people can- wah wah wah? The lyrics are even here in the video and you can't respect the poetry? And the vox- it's the way he gets his art across- and he does it with 100times more passion than most vocalists can muster. But that's just my opinion. What I really want to say is- if you don't/can't appreciate it, there's no need to hate. Keep your whining to yourself =/

[MsJoejon1]

I'm whining along with the song. LOOK AT ME! I can whine just as good as this guy. WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH! Oh yeah, i just popped on over here cuz i wanted to see if these dudes were worth going to see cuz their playing where i am on April 13th. Yeah, I'm not gonna go LOL

[wardude08]

@MsJoejon1 wow, you have really good grammar. I didn't know "cuz" was a word.

[VaniKayne]

@MsJoejon1 You know, it's people like you that make me reconsider my position on abortion clinics.

[RollingInTheDerp]

wtf alesana?

it seems like whenever i listen to an underrated band, some dumbfucks in the comments are comparing them to another band.

shut the hell up.

this song is gorgeous.

[marcsfortaner]

Fuck! first time I listen to this band, I´m fucking stoked. amazing!

[sportsmusic114]

You know, people always say that Taylor Swift's lyrics are lyrics you can relate to. And yeah, in some cases they are. But i think people can relate to la Dispute's lyrics as well. The stories they tell, the heartbreak in every word...its brilliant. Just because its poetic and metaphorical does not mean that i can't relate to this. People are just to lazy and stupid to stop and listen and decipher such beautiful poetry like this in music. And its for this reason why la dispute is so underrated.

[MaiBowe]

Damn i can feel that pain he's trying to sing out of his chest. I love it

[onwells]

Alesana is completely different. Let us not compare.

[assassinfromabove7]

one of the best bands to wake up to.......after fallin asleep to them

[ronald4654]

If I get another eargasm ill go deaf...

[thedearpsychonaut]

shrooms + la dispute = spiritual rebirth

[DnlLauridsen]

is it just me who thinks that this is like a softer version of saetia och comadre?

really like the lyrics and the vocalists voice cause it fits perfectly with the rest of the band ,

the gitars doesnt take as much space as most band does but instead lies in backgound and enhance the the vocalist ,

[yeaadollface]

i imagine myself on a roadtrip and i just feel like their music fits in perfectly because it makes you "feel" . <3

[WoeIsJesse]

It's like the half-way point between Say Anything and Circle Takes The Square

[Mavarik]

@WoeIsJesse i would say atdi and touche amore

[markrstill1]

reminds me of brand new

[hellotwistedsmile]

why does he sound like hes crying in every fucking song? but I still love them

[glentendo24]

@hellotwistedsmile that's just how he sings... and it's beautiful xD

[hellotwistedsmile]

@glentendo24 yep

[TheCocoCupcakes]

headphones + 480p. = x_x

[Oneupsalesman]

Guys, guys, it's okay. All it takes is two/one word(s) from me, and you shall all unite in hatred.

Nickelback.

[UrMomWatchesThis]

@Oneupsalesman Why do people hate nickelback?

[toothandtiger]

@UrMomWatchesThis for the same reason people are hating bon jovi... because they suck:D

[TheMissML]

@Oneupsalesman ^ THIS

[LexAnderMusik]

i feel these are the greatest lyrics i have ever read in my entire life. something changed everything.

[WhitePanda18]

this band is just...good, there isnt a word to really describe how great they are, but after listening to them ive been looking for music like this, so far i have crossed paths with Brand New and The Explorer,i highly recommend them too, but can anyone tell me what genre this is? i dont want a whole argument over it, just an answer would be great to have

[jakeybabs]

@WhitePanda18

touche amore, pianos become teeth, are two bands with similar music style. if your talking about lyrical content la dispute is in a league of its own. The lead singer is an incredible poet and im not sure i've ever heard anything quite like it.

[Oneupsalesman]

@WhitePanda18 Post-hardcore, I think. A very emotionally intense side of it, yes, and unique from some of the rest, but nevertheless. :)

[PosieDada]

@WhitePanda18 If you like this, you'd probably like Listener's album Wooden Heart. Amazing poetry. And for the genre, this is just part of the new wave of post-hardcore.

[sportsmusic114]

@WhitePanda18 I'd just call it alternative rock i guess. Your right, there's not much you can say about this, its in a league of its own. I mean, the first time i ever listened to this band i was left speechless. I still am sometimes, just by the sheer power and passion in the lyrics, his voice, the instruments, everything. But anyway, to anser your question, check out the band Listener. They have a similar style to these guys, and they are really good.

[Tdotwhibby]

you need great chemistry to cre3ated a band like this !!!! >:P

[HolyWoaahCassie]

hahahahhahhahhahahahaha wow....wow.............wow

[dinocookiesxD]

Should we feel guilty they said? Should we feed guilty for this sin?

[AbbyDabbers]

"I wasn't happy. I wasn't happy where I was... What is life without a purpose? What is purpose without love? I pray my children will forgive me, though I bade the river flood. I have washed my hands a thousand times but still can see the blood." Just.. Wow..

[ivyhageman]

I can respect anything with this much emotion and sincerity.

[roboslobonator]

I'm a huge fan of independent/alternative music, but I also love deathcore. I hate pretty much all post-hardcore/metalcore crap, but this is pretty damn good. It reminds me a lot of Rage Against the Machine, but better.

[RedTheRaptor]

the more i listen to them, the more i love them

[breatheinslowlynow]

How bout everyone just shut up and listen. If you don't like the music then change the fucking page.

[karareneclark]

I have a tattoo that says What is life without a purpose? What is purpose without love?

[animemefreak74]

la dispute is posthardcore or melodic hardcore.

[SpaceySnipes]

@animemefreak74 woah, sup byron?

[animemefreak74]

@SpaceySnipes Ian? :O

[SpaceySnipes]

does anybody else think this is the 3rd part in the story? new storms, last blues, sad prayers?

[febcanl]

What is life without a purpose? What is purpose without love?

[Hubcool367]

wtf, can't believe you guys are talking about emo while not even knowing what it is, talkiing about sucking cocks and talking about about gay scene shit on a La Dispute vid...

[Ynell]

actually, technically, La Dispute is post-hardcore.

[Sinland636]

Saw them live with Thrice in LA, Awesome!

[19ZoSo93]

2:04 is so freaking great.

Well, the whole song is.

[JerichoHanley]

If this gets top comment, I'll express my love for La Dispute by posting a video of me slowly and roughly penetrating Justin Beiber :D

[KTRshorts]

LA DISPUTE IS THE FUCKING GREATEST BAND, HOLY FUCKING POOP

[iSawTheUnseen]

@RiddLLs THEY'RE SOOOOO EMO.

[RiddLss]

@iSawTheUnseen No, American Football is an Emo band, not Alesana.

[narutolover869]

Anyone get a Macbeth reference anywhere here? I do.

[PunkXRockXForever]

@narutolover869

Definitely! So amazing he found inspiration in a Shakespeare play for writing this song.

[b71nKy]

@narutolover869 They're named after a play by Pierre du Marivaux, so it really wouldnt surprise me.

[ladycharmer12]

@narutolover869 yeah 1:19 lady macbeth qoute

[CrunchDubstep]

@narutolover869 I guess if you take the lyrics literally. My take is that this song is about two married people cheating with each other

[cambriax]

@narutolover869 I love that there are so many references to literature in his work

[TheTurtleSandwich]

La Dispute is one of the few bands that can actually make me cry. It's just so beautiful, and so raw. It's full of emotion, and it's just amazing.

[ciaodenyka]

where did Alesana come into this??

[jett54]

wuts with the talk of alesana this is law dispute take that shit somewhere else

[buttercow12]

@jett54 Alesana isn't shit, for one. La Dispute and Alesana both have oddly poetic lyrics in their music. That's why Alesana is mentioned.

[jett54]

@buttercow12 alesana sucks emo cock

[buttercow12]

@jett54 La Dispute and Alesana have two different styles of music. If you don't like Alesana, cool. No big deal. Alesana is a good band for the style of music they play. La Dispute is a good band for the style of music they play.

[jett54]

@buttercow12 either way alesana is irrelevant here make alesana comments on a fucking alesana music video

[TheYannster1]

@jett54 mad..

[RiddLss]

@jett54 Alesana isn't even Emo.

[NIch43]

@RiddLss yeah theyre pretty emo

[Lmaox94]

Alesana sounds lame as fuck compared to this, this actually reminds me of 90s screamo bands whereas Alesana sounds like a bunch of 12 year olds on speed.

[DisasterCode]

The instrumentals in this are greeat.

[xkrishax1]

Pointless comments are pointless.

[dimtched]

This is an awesome song but i also like Alesana. Please don't hate on other bands. Each band has their own fans, and some share, just don't talk shit about each one

[wifesmacker1]

F**K THE SCENE.

[WoeIsAiden]

@wifesmacker1 Wtf is Up with your username? ... I'm a little bit Concerned.

[natein0]

*mention* Alesana *mention*

[unhappilyeverafter]

@natein0 Alesana fucking rocks!

[JoshD8282]

@natein0 Alesana uhhhmazzing. But this band is also ahhhmazing.

[joesthorn]

I don't know if it's just me or whatever, but are there references to Macbeth in this song?

[Username1361]

@joesthorn Jordan says it's the last part of three songs on the album about failed marriage I think. But I agree with you, the first time I heard it I related the lyrics to MacBeth, they just seem to connect

[joesthorn]

@Username1361 We're just doing it in class this term and the whole Lady Macbeth not being able to wash the blood off her hands just related to the lyrics at times ahah.

[XfedX27]

uuugggghhh i wish i wasnt in a public library right now this fucking part 1:23 just makes me wanna take my headphones off and just rock tha fug out!! haha

[toastiz]

I'm gonna get him to be the minister at my wedding..

[ambush1242]

saw them last night in boston with moving mountains, thrice and o' brother.

THIS is where modern music needs to be going

[Mplstory]

I've listened to a couple of La Dispute's videos and i don't think i really like them :/ sorry i don't mean to start a fight, but just to give out an opinion.

[OhSnapple3796]

@Mplstory you have no idea how glad I am you can say that without wording it like, "This shit is so gay." Thankyou for being a respectable human being with a respectable opinion. :) People are so ridiculous these days and I am glad you are not one of them. Thankyou!

I personally think this guy is pretty pimp, but to each his own, right?

[Mplstory]

@OhSnapple3796 Wow, I was thinking the same way :D I thought people were going to be complete jack asses and try to start stuff over me saying something like that :D Im glad about the good feedback :) Yeah my teacher showed me this song in Music in History class and i decided to check out a couple other songs. I guess i just don't under stand it :/

[SuperCookie1993]

wow this is incredibly gay haha faggot song

[MariaTastedInk]

I CAN'T GET OVER HOW AMAZING THEY ARE...damn.

[nataliev95]

i NEED 2 see them live ASAP 

[aaabstar]

I have a headache.

[ScreamInTheAssHole]

@aaabstar headache? so go and die ..!! this voice is the most emotioned iv ever heared. so stfu

[qwakbuff]

@ScreamInTheAssHole "emotioned" isn't a word, yo. it's "emoted."

[ScreamInTheAssHole]

@qwakbuff i dont fucking care. i am not english languaged!

[qwakbuff]

and even that wouldn't be the word you want. you just straight up want "emotional."

[sk8alldaye]

You can feel every emotion in his voice. He's amazing. Gets fucking insane at 00:00-3:46.

[caneisland]

Got goosebumps at "To have and to hold".

[bmanspivot]

id murder everyone in the pit

[AETOGenny]

@bmanspivot I WILL NOT BE DROWNED!

[attab0i408]

God this is awful.

[adamscreams2010]

@attab0i408 God you're deaf ;)

[RazicatSpokr]

@attab0i408 You have Design the Skyline in your favorites. That's all I need to know.

[animemefreak74]

@attab0i408 I like this artist, but I understand.

because people, this is sort of like sound euphoria for most of us. but to other's, this guy sounds like the dude taking the biggest deuce on the planet while trying to sing a song xD

[SceneToSk8]

i gotta go poop so i can sing along... brb

[almostSK8ER51]

this band sounds a little like Norma Jean<3

[EvelynWaffle]

Does anybody know the name of the album this is off of?

[adamscreams2010]

@EvelynWaffle Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair

[krispyrenee]

Is this here to enjoy.... Or to debate about who they are or how fucking unique they are. Who truly cares they have a huge underground presence and their setting a goddamn standard for the next generation. 

[xxxgarygorexxx]

@darklyXlit they draw classic screamo influences from such bands as Saetia and Spirit Of Versailles. Not all that unique, really.

[subefi]

I love this, and while i agree they're totally unique, I get some mad the cure vibes in the beginning.

also at thedrive in ftw.

[weeatdinos]

Much Ado About Nothing reference. 

[Lancealotta313]

Best lyricist I know.

[augustburnsalex]

this song made me a fan

[477lrn]

why does Jordan write so much about marriage?

[MrStonerStephen]

@477lrn You write about what you feel inside. Maybe he's severely depressed.

[GREGAROSOVICH]

@MrStonerStephen Haha not sure if that's an intentional crack on marriage, but nice lol

[asdfpersonguy]

@rawrmydinoeatu It's just very emotional singing.

[iloveADTRx]

I DIDNT KNOW TOM GREEN WAS IN THIS BAND!

[0TaKO12]

@iloveADTRx what??



[StudleyMuffinGurl]

So unique <33 ohmygawd.

[XRandalGetsDrunkX]

goosebumps...

[rawrcrazed]

I love this band, because you can understand the words, and its screamo :')

[freakenjew]

@rawrcrazed its more of a yell then a scream lol. like singing very strongly

[AETOGenny]

@rawrcrazed definitely not screamo. get out of here with that. go back to your BVB.

[jazminrodriguez6]

Amazing.

[Kittenbell1326]

I kind of wonder what would happen if you mixed Alesana's vocals with La Dispute's lyrics..

[heyjamesmcgee]

@Kittenbell1326 the seventh trumpet would be blown and the fight between dark and light would begin changing the history of earth forever.

[XxXJamminXx]

@Kittenbell1326 never mention alesana in a la dispute video ever again, fuck off with that gay scene shit.

[MrStonerStephen]

@XxXJamminXx you made my day :D

[xWiiNxProductions]

@XxXJamminXx

No need to be an asshole there tough guy... let people have their opinions, music is personal preference.. just because you dont like the style of music, doesnt mean its "gay scene shit" learn to respect your fellow man. jesus its people like you that make me loose faith in society

[HoldenElevven]

@xWiiNxProductions Just give up on society, cause society is just a bunch of fucking idiots.

[Shanepooted]

@xWiiNxProductions dont be a hypocrite. your yellin at him for him speakin his opinion on the other guy.(actually i dont really care i just wanted to make a chain of replies on wut people said maybe someone will yell at me=P)

[xWiiNxProductions]

@Shanepooted that is in no way hypocritical... i told him not to be an asshole.

[markmason36]

@xWiiNxProductions Although alesana do fucking suck!

[BaronBrocketo]

@xWiiNxProductions I agree. I don't get why music taste has to be a definition of a person. No one is judged on what food they like. It causes such a split in society when people segregate themselves because of music.

[ikatelynn26]

@XxXJamminXx

I feel ya, Alesana shouldnt be allowed in the same music Genre as La Dispute

[TheJaderade18]

@ikatelynn26 so.. what do you have against alesana *death look*

[Collegeaccount8]

@ikatelynn26 Yea Alesana is way better. lol

[gothic090221]

@Collegeaccount8 booooo

[jo0GotPwnt]

@ikatelynn26 I like both Alesana and La Dispute just as I like both Skramz and "Scenecore" shit. U MAD, bro?

[EliVoshallzzzz]

@ikatelynn26 I personally love, Alesana and La Dispute both are extremely talented bands. I dont get why everyone feels the need to hate on other bands just because they personally dont like their sound. They have more talent in one hand then most people have in their whole lives and I garuntee you wish you wish you were as famous as them

[AETOGenny]

@Kittenbell1326 kill yourself.

[Halfbloodangelprince]

@Kittenbell1326 personally I love both bands... and I think the world would crack in two, the people that said "this is shit" or simply "fuck off with your gay scene shit" (alesana is closer to emo and faaaaarrrrrrr from scene btw) would be on their side with the narrowminded preppy kids since they're the same but they think they're better since they listen to different music and the kids who were like "its interesting but I don't think I like It" or the ones that did would be on our epic half

[Halfbloodangelprince]

@rsdurbin well screw you. theres nothing wrong with being gay... hes an asshole for calling art shitty, but so are you for being homophobic... both of you hav the rite to hav ur own opinions i guess but still theres a difference in using somethin u dnt like as an insult or just letting it go and saying "this is shitty" rather than "i dont like this"... both of you irk me...

[44Joslyn]

Fucking love these guys<3

[bitcrush8]

The singer is amazing. His voice isn't even that great, but it's the emotion that he can transmit from his vocal chords to you that's inspiring.

[TheWannaBeeze]

I've washed my hands a thousand times, but I still can see the blood.

[XxXJamminXx]

they remind of linkin park, just kidding dont kill me.

[AETOGenny]

@XxXJamminXx lolol

[JesseDestructo]

@darklyXlit ... they are unique...but some of their stuff kind of reminds me of a much younger more angry aaron weiss from mewithoutyou (if you like this I recommend you listen to the album "A to B Life" by mewithoutyou)

[XiuTheFeared]

How the hell did I get from Wu Tang Clan to this garbage?

[69jarod96]

@XiuTheFeared what you mean is, how the hell did you go from that garbage to this fucking amazing band..

[XiuTheFeared]

@69jarod96 Go slit your wrists or something emo kid. What amazing lyrics "I have washed my hands a 1000 times but can still see the blood" LMAO

[AETOGenny]

@XiuTheFeared i believe you have that in reverse, my friend.

you just experienced music.

[keleighthedragon]

Lyrics sound like those of Mumford & Sons. Or maybe thats just me.. :I

[gllwd]

wat the fuk he sounds like he wants to die

[NakedCupCakeKitty]

:3 heeeeheeeee i like them! he sounds as if he saw a cat die while he was singing!

[TheStacySystem]

This song gives me chills..

[bradyv666]

eww the vocalist...

[Raidersfreakal]

@bradyv666 you best GTFO right NOW

[bradyv666]

@Raidersfreakal

lol alright suuuuuuure,

just in my opinion, i don't like the sound of his voice at all.
