Good Album Friday - Thrice - Beggars (2009) - 07 - Wood & Wire

[pkhld]

the ending is simply stunning. the carthasis im going through everytime i listen to it is incredible. so full of hope.

[tjkelman]

I think the net lyric sites have a few inaccuracies for W&W (at least based on what came out of production):

"Lead me to where *men* fear to tread" - makes much more sense...

This next one is admittedly hard to tell, but I like this interp better...

"Throw the switch *son*, I know you ain't got a choice..." The "son" makes it clear who he's referencing in "I know *you* ain't got a choice", kindof hints at that "green-mile" relationship between jailer & jailee...

Regardless, killer song.

This song is so sad and beautiful, it really makes me want to cry. It could just be a coincidence, but it sounds like the inspiration for this song came from the character John Coffey from Stephen King's "The Green Mile." Thrice is the most brilliant band ever.

@Ricky3417 I was thinking the exact same thing. That's the image that first popped into my head.

(8) Dead man walking down the hall

To meet a mess of wood and wire

Lead me to where mean fear to tread

Towards the thing I most desire

.. How beautiful is that!!!

what's dustin saying in the beginning...

dustin - "oh wait, its really low ______ "

(someone else) - "really?"

dustin - "yeah"

stuff likes that reminds me of old beatles albums =D so raw and fresh!

[himura117]

what are you talking about?

[MrAndrewVideo]

before they even start playing. put on your headphones dustin is talking to teppei, i think, and they are talking about something. its very faint.

[zeroaxis011]

It's at 0:07. Turn up your volume with headphones and you'd be able to hear it.

[Thrice1stImpression]

[daishan089]

"The dawn is coming

All is well, I will rejoice"

This is a really powerful song.

[wrestlewithgod]
