The Low Anthem - "This God Damn House" - HearYa Live Session 8/8/09

[Paterson121]

Seen them In Toronto, blew me away! 

[michaelbeairst]

Such a musically intuitive group.

[yolindyo]

I believe that this song tells the story of a man who woke up to there wife/partner/mother, or someone who is important to them and living with them, leaving them a note saying i'll be back by three. I think they are trying to say that the person died when they were out, but the man refuses to leave the house until the person comes home, because they are grieving the loss and refuse to accept the fact that the person is gone.

[ItsZuri]

I saw them live last week, they are very talented

[evannell]

beautiful vocal harmonies

[AugustMeteors]

I think the narrator is a ghost, who's with me on it? He was an invalid, he died before she got back home and now he's a ghost just rattling around in this goddamn house. She left him a note--"Do you need anything?" He'd have had to call her on her cell phone, or she'd call him, for the list of anything he needed. Maybe he did call, even, an empty call by a ghost. The feedback thing with the cellphones kind of underscores him slipping away. Just a thought. This is one haunting song!

[CarlosRamirezTX]

We did the cell phone thing during the Houston 2011 show. Wild!!!

[narcoman2]

hes using the phone to create a reverb effect via feedback - not interference. Very cool.

[hearya17]

@narcoman2 Exactly, a basic feedback loop.  Great party trick.

[Orgato]

when you see them live, they have everyone in the audience call eachother and create the feedback loop, and it creates this powerful ambiance that is really amazing.

[TheAvalonDon]

this is real music..from real people

[linkenass]

ahaha i love the part where checks if he has any messages on his phone

[hearya17]

Not sure if you were joking or not, but he's actually using the interference from the cell phones to create that high pitch sound. Pretty awesome.

[TheOthli]

@hearya17 lol, i hope he was joking :P

its kinda obv that he isnt checking his messages

[JSPAIN2]

@hearya17 you are right , he is using phone to create interferences..

[xAnnaXP]
