Dashboard Confessional - Don't Wait

[XINSUMISOSX]

Podrá no ser una muy buena banda, pero sus acústicos son hermosos.

[JTG11TLF]

My bad, :43

[JTG11TLF]

Lol 1:43 looks like Owen Wilson all the way hahaha

[nbakobebryant2407]

but i great song none the less!

[narical]

3 people COULDN'T WAIT to press 'like'.......and they hit 'dislike' by mistake......i couldn't blame them......this song is fuking hypnotising !!!!!

[adampomp]

Shut up troll!

Damn that was amazing!

[sk8tafrnk]

they need to lose that guitarist in the back. learn from metallica's mistakes

[BigMac1875]

The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments.Learn to let go of the past.And recognize that every day won’t be sunny,and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair,remember it’s only in the black of night you see the stars and those stars will lead you back home.So don’t be afraid to make mistakes to stumble and fall,.Maybe you’ll get everything you wish for, maybe you’ll get more but always remember in the end, the journey is the destination

[XxCbgaoxX]

@BigMac1875 That's so lovely:)

[silenciodeloscordero]

@BigMac1875 Well said sir. Well said :)



[nikkiprincess11]

beautiful in every way

[dookiebabii]

A POET.

[Tiloutiteloune]

A real artist here. What else can we say bout' that

[kermitkronic69]

I remember watching this on the Henry rollins show.

[meggganxx]

I think this is FABULOUS live. Just sayin.

[benh9174]

don't say Chris should do it himself, music like this needs layers! It is beautiful solo, but the harmonies in this are lovely, especially the violin part.

[hekkuta]

i love friggin dashboard...

their shit is amazing...

but honestly... they do suck live.

just saying...

but they're amazing when you listen to the album stuff (:

[Muchy92]

@hekkuta i could disagree haha. i don't know what you've been listening to but their live music is great.

[PWJR16]

i find it funny that all the people that say he sucks live r the ones that prolly dont have any idea about wut real music is like and all they do is listen n try to judge.

[XxMcFlyAngelxX]

@PWJR16 it's an opinion. just like "real music" everyone's got a different opinion what it is.

[vae26]

@PWJR16 hell yeahh

[socialNrocker]

@PWJR16 Those who say he sucks live...obviously have never heard him live. He sounds exactly like he does in the albums...

[alexandergaskarth]

he is unique when it comes in acoustic sessions.. he has his violinist..

[nayelis94]

I love his music!(:

[mamram23]

one of my favourite ^^

[renZenKuKen]

this is pretty good cept the instrumentals are kind of sloppy. chris should scrap everyone in the band and just do it himself.

[jian2069]

i really like his voice but this is strongly auto-tuned and i disapprove

[ratherBfishin567]

he has THE BEST voice hands down haha

[time4talent]

Disagree...sorry but i personally think he has an annoying voice..Martin Johnson actually usues vocal compression...this guys just whines..

[sayDUDEmore36]

True fact. And good song name in there

[mercurydavid]

maybe if u listen to it drunk...

he sucks badly live...

[XxHexagramxX]

i love the acoustic version of this song =) so beautiful

[jennadrums]

john ralston!

[igby4343]

does anyone know what kind of guitar hes playing?

looks like a martin, but if anyone knows specifically let me know!

[JudoChoppethUrFace]

it looks like an OM-28 or something like it.

[nackalack]

lay your armor down

[nackalack]

love him so much it hurts

[AVARiley2]

is that chris carrabba singing?

[savchivKyle]

He's the lead singer of Dashboard confessional....why would it not be him? haha

[TheGGMoogly]

I thought this was one of his recent songs that was pretty good.

[tehzoh]

its kinda gay

[JAMministryProject]

i don't really see the need for 3 guitarist

just my opinion

[gbanks454]

hes the bassist

[toxicsluge]

no.

there were 3 guitarists in Dashboard then.. well if you count the songs when Chris plays guitar (which is most.)

It was the following on guitar:

John Ralston

John Lefler

Chris Carrabba

[gbanks454]

oooooo sorry not a very big fan :D

[machinegunboy11]

man this songs reminds me of my dead gf.....T_T

[sweetestcharmxOxO162]

i can feel u on that one

[keegansaysftw]

Woah. Im sorry. Awsome song though.

[WarzJWG]

Dont Wait ! Dont wait ~ the road is now a sudden sea, and suddenly, you're deep enough, to lay ur armor down ~~~

Amazing =D

[eyecandee182]

yeah, makes me wanna cry too, especially when youre in a heartbreaking relationship

[gabgabpogi]

this song reminds me of something.

[yaditamoyaguzman]

I would like to find the Lyric i don´t see it

[drumzzxo182]

makes me cry every time i hear it

[renjimizu]

SEXY SONG. LOL JK

;p. but love ittt.

[jaibobs108]

really good song, but yeah he does sing very high!

[spiffcorgi]

he sings ridiculously high.

[Aiafati]

is it just me or there's just something sexy about the shoulder of a woman who plays violin?

[spidermancj]

its not just you who thinks the same ..

[asjfhsjafhsjkaghfkjs]

love it

[sneezysneeze]

sounds like a viola?

[Beardown502]

What is this performance from? I LOVE it. They have the same performance with Stolen too

[shammmuk]

is the hot girl on the violin part of the band??

[PWJR16]

yep, chris says so

[virtuostic666]

What a song... The whole album is amazing. Makes me think of summer. Which is probably the point, considering the title track.

[cgr389]

i know i love this album

[samspennell]

Austin, Texas rocks baby!!!!!! That's where this video was recorded.

[45glaizziexann]

i like the sound of the violin...

[paynos36]

wow!!!!

[00pineapple]

the girl is hot.

[Vindicatedx777]

great song.. this band is a boss band

[pinstripes245679]

i love this song, acoustic or not!!!!!

[chocoholic564]

love this song

[randiroo710]

I agree with you Legend037.. it says "lay your armor down." It's completely obvious.

[osyto13]

me encanta esta cancion... i love it...

[lacoste10schwarz]

he doesn't say "lay your armor down", but "gray yo gabbon raun". It's tuskish and it means "you'll get what you deserve".

[Legend037]

no...he says lay your armor down

[lacoste10schwarz]

No man. I'm sorry. That's what i thought too before i read an interview in the "vision" (26/11/2007), where he explained that he wrote this to honour the turkish part of his family.i'm turkish myself and i can guarantee you that he sais "gray yo gabbon raun"...

Did i convince you?

greets

[tearsp07]

im sorry to say but inless ur listening to a turkish version of this song he definatly says lay your armor down at least three times within the first minute so nope didnt reli convince neone i dont think

[kennyg03]

Even if a lot of people consider Dashboard as an "emo" band ... the band has a certain uniqueness thats not imitatable...Chris also is a talented song writter and singer...i sure as hell cant sing that high without my voice cracking lol

[XTheDamnedOneX]

it isn't emo, real emo was way, way, way, hardcore like rites of spring.

[kennyg03]

note that I said "consider" bro

[rh72919]

i agree, my ex got me listenin to them a while back, i had heard them befor they became mainstream but didnt know who they were. even my ex cant ruin this band for me, amazing is the only thing that comes to mind when i hear them, and wow, but that sums it up. so emotional so beautiful sounding....

[guitarguy049]

The violinist is..hot,hahaha

[uhmmmm123]

I noticed chris carrabba's guitar looks kinda' small. Haha! Look's cool.

Great song.

[jodiekeys2]

idk to me this song is different from anything i've heard idk what it is... that's how it just comes across... love this song does anyone know where to find the officail video?

[guiLtIaFrE]

do they ever sing a song not about love...i mean their good but...dude....

[benmacdiarmid]

aha i guess if it aint broke dont fix it. as long as they keep pulling great love songs out of the hat, they will see no reason to change what theyr doing

[virtuostic666]

I believe 'The Widow's Peak' off the Shade of Poison Trees album is about Hurricane Katrina... but I thought for a long time it was about a relationship as well! But, thats the beauty of music, the fact that you can come up with your own interpretations of it, and how it may apply to you.

[shauhyo19]

this song makes me cry.

[florianseidl]

but than , it could be to late .. so "don´t wait"

[florianseidl]

totally wrong ruefulsilence! im sorry ;)

but the meaning is that that some one had cut down the realtionship in a very hard way and it´s now time to lay the armor down ... the armor symbolized the rough way of getting out of this relationship. so that this person, who broke up, is just selfish and will maybe regret someday , what he/she did.

[ruefulsilence]

well, someone toltally pointed out that an OPINION was totally wrong. in fact that's what i've been meaning to say, putting an END to a realationship so as not to PROLONG the hurts and suffering for both of them. so "don't wait to lay your armor down" for me means "don't wait for yourself to give up"

[ruefulsilence]

clear example.

when a knight decided to GIVE UP the fight what does he do? he takes off his ARMOR and LAY THEM DOWN, to show that he's not willing to fight anymore.

I've stated my opinion without saying that yours is wrong... talk about being rude.

[984839]

smarty pants mor0n

[randomuser]

Rueful, throughout historical literature, armor has always been a metaphor for a wall someone puts up to not let anyone get close, and I'm sure that is what Chris meant when he wrote this.

"The days will pass you by, don't wait to lay your armor down" -- As another person said, life is short, you should open up to people because the time we have is limited on this planet, and in relationships particularly.

[swizzle88711]

Does anyone know anything about the violinist? Like her age? Whether or not she's single? Her phone number maybe? Just askin'

[SirSamurbatsu]

Dude, you rule!

Shes IS hot like :P

I wouldnt mind knowing her number myself :P

SH08

[MuziqIsLife36]

"dont wait" so im going to see them on oct 24 dont wait but i have too

[spraser]

"To lay your Armor down" mean to abandon the walls and learn to trust someone. Life's short

[3molave]

can i ask something? For you whats the meaning of the line.. "Lay your armors down.."? for me its.. just we need to stop loving (BATTLE!) someone, its hard to wait for something not worth to be waited.. So we need to stop, and lay our armors down.. -<3 dashboard..

[malcomx52]

it means what spraser said.

[ruefulsilence]

yeah, that's it. lay your armor down means giving up the fight, like "let's end this now... let's not wait any longer. it would only hurt both of us." something like that...

[darcylupin]

I can honestly say i truly love their acoustic & live versions a little bit more than i do the CD versions

[mazdark]

amazing

[mackynyxz]

nice song

[torx07]

dashboard rulz!

[lecond]

wow, the violinist is very pretty, how to would say in spanish que rica esta LOL

[cuterashrash]

i lyk D'girl,, she is sooo pretty.........

[willyz611]

anybody have an mp3 of this? I love it

[patrismurcia]

he is a little buddie!! :)

[incr3d1bl3s]

is it just me or is the guy to the left of chris not singing.. well i mean u cant hear his harmonies.. maybe something wrong with the mic?

[THUGfan111]

They often turn John's microphone down because they don't understand that he's an asset to Chris.

[jrellis250]

i don't care who the violinist knows, she is smokin hot.

[mustusepowers]

This ones so good!!

[Mccoins]

this is the best performance by Dashboard ive ever seen.

its better than the recorded version!

dashboard, you guys will always be my favorite

[emozero8513]

the violinist is actually in john ralstons's band. John ralston is the guy singing the high parts, playing guitar behind the lead guitarist to chris' right. Chris wanted to give ralson a push with his career and brought him on tour and somehow in the process his band has merged with dc for there live shows.i know tmi but i'm bored

[mrretard155]

oh thanks i always wondered how and why john ralston started performing with dc. so thanks

[jajam01295]

I saw them at the university of maine a littl b4 christmass and they were amazing!!!!!!!!

[heyyitsjames]

the violinist is the friend of chris(lead singer) and he asked her to play shows with them

[boogilyeyes]

His voice is flawless. SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE VIOLINIST.

[raincity27]

amazing

[Kevinshmevin]

i hate the violin

[monogra1]

Well i hate you! And so does the violin!

[Dahpoo]

LOVE IT!!!

[hinderrocks11]

Chris sounds fake!

[mawsko]

[uareanishacka]

agreed indeed

[kkkkrrrr]
