THRICE, Beggars - Live at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC on June 29, 2010

Thrice is an American rock band from Irvine, California. It consists of Dustin Kensrue (lead singer, guitarist), Teppei Teranishi (lead guitarist, keyboardist), Eddie Breckenridge (bass guitarist), and Riley Breckenridge (drummer).

This song is titled "Beggars". It was the last song played by Thrice at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC, on June 29, 2010. Sorry about the wobbling; my arm was tired from holding the camera. (The camera I used, by the way, was a Canon SX210.) If you'd like to see more, let me know and I might upload another video.

Thrice is an excellent band. They're absolutely amazing in concert, so if you get the chance to see them live, don't miss out on it! Also, if you like their music, be sure to support them by buying their albums and/or merchandise: http://merchdirect.com/thrice

Thanks to the folks at Cat's Cradle. It's a good, intimate venue, and the staff seems friendly and easygoing. At a lot of places, you're made to feel like you're one photo away from having your camera confiscated and one wrong move away from getting thrown out or beaten up. Luckily, that's not the case at Cat's Cradle. (Plus, it was an oppressively hot day, yet somehow they kept the venue comfortably cool.)

"Beggars" lyrics:

All you great men of power, you who boast of your feats,
politicians and entrepreneurs,
can you safeguard your breath in the night while you sleep,
keep your heart beating steady or sure?
As you lie in your bed, does the thought haunt your head
that you're really rather small?
If there's one thing I know in this life, we are beggars all.

All you champions of science and rulers of men,
can you summon the sun from its sleep?
Does the earth seek your council on how fast to spin?
Can you shut up the gates of the deep?
Don't you know that all things hang
as if on a string over darkness, poised to fall?
If there's one thing I know in this life, we are beggars all.

All you big shots who swagger and stride with conceit,
did you devise how your frame would be formed?
If you'd be raised in a palace or left out on the streets,
or choose the place or the hour you'd be born?
Tell me what can you claim? Not a thing, not your name.
Tell me if you can recall just one thing, not a gift, in this life.

Can you hear what's been said?
Can you see now that everything's grace, after all?
If there's one thing I know in this life, we are beggars all.

I have uploaded another video ("Red Sky") and have more to add, but I probably won't have time to do so until after Independence Day.
