Listener - You Were A House On Fire

[Stifler73127]

@savestheda7 I've never been to one of his shows (a damn shame), but I assume he does it to make the already personal show, just a little more personal. He explains what the song means to him, and makes it easier for people to appreciate it.

[cckenepah]

Man, I LOVE it

[k3llybee]

feel free to sing along in your hearts.

I will Dan Smith, I will.

[whyareyougay12341234]

I love Dan's mustache.



[jacka0001]

"Okay, here we grow"

This man is a genius.

[digitalarturo]

i'm sure most of those people know all of the words.. ever think about how annoying it would be if they all yelled every word? stop being so rude.. and appreciate the group for what they are.. instead of the others..

[justbrandon666]

he looks like Daniel Day-Lewis

[CodedRhythmTalk]

I love Listener, but there's no way I could endure standing with a bunch of hipster cunts awkwardly shouting out the few words that they know.

[PakezSystematicWrath]

@CodedRhythmTalk You shouldn't worry about who all goes to the show. Don't let who is there get to you. You should go because you identify with Dan's poetry and you want to see him, regardless of who shows up or whether or not everybody knows the words.

[Hessekimojo]

@CodedRhythmTalk this happens at almost every show you go to...

[IMeanPushUps]

@Hellomynameiszachfoo every month after you say this one shall dislike.

[FreshNapp]

SO INDIE, BRO.

[MyForTheWin]

If I were there I'd be singing along to the whole song, not shouting :x

[lifefocus]

I love that acoustic riff.

[beksinski]

I want to be the bigger man for you but I can't handle all this truth.

[TonyArrison]

I wasn't aware Daniel Plainview did music on the side!

[savestheda7]

why does he have to explain every song?

[iancumshot]

It Looks like 10 peoples houses burned down!

[gjasdf]

@Hellomynameiszachfoo Then ten assholes wanted to ruin it.

[JuicedYou]

where can i get these guys album

amazing lyrics

[Bellyoflion]

@JuicedYou check out there bandcamp, they have a couple albums up on there.

[MyForTheWin]

@JuicedYou iTunes or F.Y.E. :D Same with mewitoutYou, if you like them.

[otnemem760]

Talk music!

[CJD101313]

this blew my mind...

[masterplus44]

these guys are just so dang good

[xhorrorxmovie]

I wonder if he would mind If I did a cover song of one of his songs :D. I would love to do my own cover.

[Corpseyy]

"Ok thanks" Ugh<3

[ZCastration]

so damn good....



[Lonnie1112]

Hey check out my spoken word if you wouldn't mind! Let me know what you all think about it! Its on my uploads its called "The Bitter sweet Taste" Thank you and Love you all! God Bless!

[Tictac590]

@Hellomynameiszachfoo Sadly there is now :(

[XscaryxhookerX]

simply amazing song, he is an amazing writer.



[thedanperezvids]

listener, mewithoutyou, la dispute

it's great that there's no genre name for them. this must be its golden age.

[lionsatthedoor]

we all write songs about life we just sing em different.

[RadioWar1212]

This dude isn't in mewithoutyou? Haha pretty cool

[LyricBoy12]

I want to punch people when they tell me this isn't music.

[Plo0mBo0m]

Wee w8 u in Russia! If u wanna come to us just write me here!

[Plo0mBo0m]

Amazing...best lyrics ever

[Zeppelin191181]

bobcat goldthwait

[theyhavepeabrains]

I love this because it reminds me of mewithoutYou

[gutturaldissonance]

just so beautiful

[jwhitmore07]

5 people don't love their grass

[k386]

I'm kinda shocked at myself that I like this as much as I do. The silence in this music is startling and brilliant, lit on fire by the lyrics. (though I kinda want the music to be math-rock). This is the first song I've heard from them.

[ZCastration]

@k386 nah if it went into math rock it would sound just like every other math rock band.

[Hierophant213]

I really like your work here, but if I can be so bold as to suggest another formula. Just seems every song is done in the same rhythm.

[joesyuh]

@Hierophant213 It is the Rhythm of his voice that you are latching on to. He has a very distinct pattern to how he sings/speaks.

[WeGotAwesomeDisorder]

I want to actually buy there album, not pirate it.

[MetalDestroysAll]

@Hellomynameiszachfoo and now more people hit the dislike button because of this idiot.

[coolperson32323]

@MetalDestroysAll yeah but i legitimately dislike this

[swampdodger33]

Good morning from Scotland...Listener are really really good...very impressed

[jadefalcon5]

"here we grow."

subtle, dan.

[LedHendrix6969]

fuck the dislikes. i know this is perfection of ear exstacy and an artful display of dans refined talents. jst great. this made my week. :\

[baaaybehhh]

@Hellomynameiszachfoo I honestly think somebody disliked it, to fuck you off (:

[thechadsk8s84]

i seen them by accident for the 1st time . i was told to clock out from work i was pretty down about it i walked out the bar and down to another (the columbus bar) and dan and chris were setting up in the alley to play a gig .... instantly there sound made me happy to have been told to clock out early .. im probibly there biggest fan in columbus Indiana . ever since that day i was hooked ..they are like drugs for ears

[platonicbomb]

@thechadsk8s84

I think the disliker was Dan.

[toritransit]

i love music that makes you think.

[MikeMassacore]

Beautiful, I came here after hearing him on the new Chariot album. Absolutely wonderful.

[OptimusPreem1117]

@Hellomynameiszachfoo i'd guess its no dislikes because anyone who would go deep enough into the musical wilderness to find them would be the kind of person to enjoy them.

[Jimmybob2804]

i want to see him live so much

i will come from scotland just to see him

[ultrahero2115]

@Hellomynameiszachfoo Some dick'll come and dislike it for being a dick's sake. :P

[ultrahero2115]

@Hellomynameiszachfoo Some dick'll come and dislike it for being a dick's sake. :P

[IoDecay]

this kind of reminds me of La Dispute a little, although Listener has a certain charm about them. :]

[thelostandforgotten]

I love this guy. haha.

[AutismPrime]

this is epic

[xJAYx24]

I love how everybody knows like the first line of every poem and they yell it out, then the rest of the poem is just Dan.

[TraceurOmega]

@xJAYx24 hahaha its mad! I think the fact that Dan is so unpredictable in his delivery would make it pretty hard as well. Never seen Listener, would love to though.
