@@dricedlkyou made me question if it was written with his 3 daughters in mind, and some of the song could be applied to them as well . But the lyric “Cause a ring don’t mean nothing if you can’t haul the weight” reaffirms my assumption that it’s about his wife who he’s been married to for 23 years, not her specifically but the commitment to someone
I feel that this album is underrated. Everyone has there favorite Thrice albums but I never hear anyone I know mention this one. Great from beginning to end.
As an album, this is by far their best. The flow of going from one song to the next is perfect! The production isnt their best but i feel it adds to the rawness of the songs. They have better tracks on other albums but this remains the best!
"The Weight" There’s many who’ll tell you they’ll give you their love, But when they say "give" they mean "take". They hang ‘round just like vultures 'til push comes to shove And take flight when the earth starts to shake. Someone may say that they’ll always be true Then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn, But I won’t leave you hanging on. Another may stay 'til they find someone new Then before you know they’ll be gone, But I won’t leave you hanging on. No, I won’t won't be that someone. And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind, Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment. Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side, I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight. Some talk of destiny, others of fate, But soon they’ll be saying goodbye, But I won’t leave you high and dry. 'Cause a ring don’t mean nothing if you can’t haul the weight And some of them won’t even try, But I won’t leave you high and dry. I won’t leave you wondering why. And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind, Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment. Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side, I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight. And storms will surely come, But true love is a choice you must make and you are the one. That I have set my heart to choose As long as I live, I swear I’ll see this through. Come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind, Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.

This was a special record. Vheissu was my favorite for years but I really started getting into Thrice around the time Beggars came out. Will always be one of my favorites
Thankyou for all that you do and have done Dustin and the guys from thrice!! Ur music remade me into the man I needed to be to fulfill God's plan for me!!!
Unless Thrice have completely changed, they don't support the propaganda proxy forever wars nor the emotional manipulation of the powers that be. I see you're just spamming this very meaningful and in no way virtue signaling message, very brave of you.
@@room1019 well... +1 But it's not entirely fair to oversimplify an issue like this, in any way. A hashtag being the biggest oversimplification/most shallow approach(+propaganda, usually) obviously, but still. And since no one who hasn't had thorough experience there &extreme understanding/knowledge of the details of the specific strategies that are being used currently, can be (kinda) sure and have "proof" and definite and valid opinion about who's the real/biggest criminal among the "leaders" behind everything that's happening there, and who's promoting and utilizing violence etc the most (great "alpha" "males" who'll be innocent and serious and noble, are steadily chosen n coming to save us all tho🙄 it's not like they're the same in mindset and motives with those who are already in power and are savoring the wars), and we *can* be sure that even if they're not ALL on the same team and laughing at us all fr, they mostly share the same mentality and surely have the same end goal, domination (and/through manipulation, exploitation, leeching and milking everything and everyone), well... it's better not to take sides and do it hastily when at the same time there are ppl who are being killed /extra exploited and a country that's being destroyed, and equally importantly, environmental repercussions that continue to add up, on top of the destruction we breed in that front even under normal(?) circumstances. I'm not neutral or careless if I say I don't support any criminal and manipulative figure. I'm blind if I say any side is a liberator and a saint. And it's even more complex than what I've written so far, since I've obviously haven't followed the news because we are never offered the full picture so we can't have a clear idea... But the most certain of all is that: Cynicism, confusion, fanaticism, greed, hate, division, mistrust, immaturity/shallowness/egoism/complexes and all other forms of stupidity, self-destruction and self-inflicted prophecies (that are swallowed too easily by many, ironically particularly by those who *always* criticize everyone else's "lack of cRiTicAL tHinKiNg skillz" - left or right or above or below - and who excuse their own mistakes and crimes, wrong priorities and criteria and false views, or those of the ones they support), are things that are pushed and things every single one of us should be resisting because they're all leading to war. p.s. hmmm maybe the hashtag was just to show his/her support to the ppl of Ukraine tho :p And last but not least, in war you want to have allies and be helped. What matters is *not* reaching the point where you'll be targeted fr. But the real war isn't the only kind of war, there's poverty etc and there are reasons to keep us divided daily, if we let them. I think it starts from there too. When you're taught to be a slave, insecure in the worst ways so you'll be in denial and listen to no one n nothing except the ones who you pick as your mental rapists, and deceitful, cynical, selfish, and nihilistic, and see just 1 of the many sides of each fact, you're easily led to war. Then, the most organized and dirtiest ppl to exist, can do as they please for many reasons. I doubt these will ever be revealed for real. But basically we're all sheeple n pawns in reality I guess, as much as some like to think they've woken up and know everything, which is truly laughable as a thought. If we weren't pawns we would've come up with ways to dismantle the ones who govern, instead of saying that nothing can be changed and we should live our life because of YOLO and goals that just fuel the same powers that do the milking. Man, I've been sleepy, not sure if I'm making sense since around 50% of this post, lol. But I could mention more later and further edit this one to fit something more and correct any awkward parts.
One of my all time favorite love songs, a deep, gritty, real love song from a married mans perspective.
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic” by SLT 🎸🤘🐺
I still love this song...and thrice. Very heartfelt band
Who do you think its about?

@@DruDubay i think about my son and my broken friends when i hear it.
I feel that this album is underrated. Everyone has there favorite Thrice albums but I never hear anyone I know mention this one. Great from beginning to end.
It's probably my favorite along with the alchemy index
I talk about this one all the time.. I think vesshue, then this then major manor are the greatest albums
Vhiessu was probably my favourite but it was also the first album I ever bought so I fully acknowledge the nostalgia bias 😂

"The Weight"
There’s many who’ll tell you they’ll give you their love,
But when they say "give" they mean "take".
They hang ‘round just like vultures 'til push comes to shove
And take flight when the earth starts to shake.
Someone may say that they’ll always be true
Then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn,
But I won’t leave you hanging on.
Another may stay 'til they find someone new
Then before you know they’ll be gone,
But I won’t leave you hanging on.
No, I won’t won't be that someone.
And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.
Some talk of destiny, others of fate,
But soon they’ll be saying goodbye,
But I won’t leave you high and dry.
'Cause a ring don’t mean nothing if you can’t haul the weight
And some of them won’t even try,
But I won’t leave you high and dry.
I won’t leave you wondering why.
And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.
And storms will surely come,
But true love is a choice you must make and you are the one.
That I have set my heart to choose
As long as I live, I swear I’ll see this through.
Come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and I see no end.
Come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.
I think that this might be the best Thrice chorus. Just astonishing

Definitely one of the greatest for romantics
