  • my fav song, but WTF is happing to live version?

  • amazing!!

  • I din't know them until last year. First I got Boxers, then High Violet, and I liked it all so much I've since got everything. I pretty much know now all the songs they've ever put out. Still this is my favourite song of theirs.

  • My very favorite from High Violet. Awesome driving music.

  • "Cripplingly beautiful. "

    The best way to phrase this.

  • I love the way Matt is so amazingly emotional.

  • Lay me on a table, put flowers in my mouth and we can say that we invented a summer love and torture party……

  • Comment removed

  • This is a very thoughtful and elegant song.... It sounds so simple, but is profound.

  • Cripplingly beautiful. 

  • @TUSoccer09 I'm shaking at the knees, crippled by the fluent musicianship

  • Man, this performance is so great. I didn't think this song could GET any better.

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing how the dark lyrics and the beautiful instrumentals go together and gets better the more times you listen :)

  • I've had High Violet since it came out, and still, the more I listen, the more I am honestly amazed. this music is gorgeous.

  • The only sentimental thing he could think of is the act of giving his heart to the army.

  • @bfsewell Because war is overflowing with sentiment? Think 'Narration' and 'Irony'.

  • @bfsewell

    I know. Strange that. I also don't get why he keeps claiming we think he enjoys being brought to the flood. Weirdo.

  • @bfsewell i thought that sentimental thing is heart and not the act of giving his heart to the army

  • @eggsngritstn I have to disagree with you sir. For me the Army is the sentimental thing. I hail from the UK and currently many of its young men are stationed in some of the world's more bloody and unhappy arenas. I do not speak from experience but I can imagine these boys living on a heady cocktail of national pride, feelings of togetherness, a yearning for places and people left behind, situations of instant gratification and emotional toil: all about with sentimentality I think!

  • The only sentimental thing he can think of is the Army. What a depressing life he must lead...

  • @RangerKozak The lyric is: "I gave my heart to the Army, the only sentimental thing I could think of." His heart. His heart is the only sentimental thing he could think of.

  • @eggsngritstn i kinda liked rangerkozak's interpretation

  • I hope they play this when they come to Houston.

  • @FSP88 they will

  • @bfsewell They didn't play it, but it was still an amazing show. Hope they come again soon.

  • @FSP88 yep. Sorry, I guess I spoke too soon. They didn't play it in Raleigh either, but they did in Richmond right before High Violet came out. Too bad it's one of the best tracks on the album...

  • I like this band,very clever writing,as good as Simon Bath.
