"Curse + Crush" is one of the last songs that we demoed for America, Location 12. We remember so specifically when Chad called us saying he had another song that had really just come into focus, and that it carried a particularly special weight and energy. We were excited to give it a listen and agreed that it felt like it had a really unique energy and emotion behind it. Shortly thereafter Chad mentioned that he had written it to honor his cousin Matt. Matt died last summer while working road crew in Arizona. He’d spent most of his adult life out west and always met up with us whenever we'd tour out there. He was incredibly strong and could carry a Fender Twin like it was a lunch box. The verse speaks about his life. From the get go, life was not easy for Matt; but he overcame so much and worked so hard to get it on track. It hurts so bad to not have him around anymore. if you loved him, you felt it doubled in return. When he died he left a crater in this world. Like many of you who’ve gone through loss, we’re struggling to come to terms with a new reality. There are holes in our hearts that can’t be filled and dreams we dreamed that can no longer happen, but we try to live as Matt would want us to, with the courage that he taught us. We’ll visit with him every time we work our way through this tune - especially at Red Rocks in the land and mountains that he loved. Everyone who's pre-ordered the album from our web store should have a "Curse + Crush" MP3 waiting for them in their inbox right now. Let us know if you don't and we'll fix that right away. Everyone else can download it on iTunes, Amazon.com, Bandcamp or stream it on Apple Music and Spotify.
DISPATCH I am sorry for your pain and our collective loss, Be well. glad to add to your success as I purchase yet more of your stuff, hoping Matt would be shining somewhere.
"if you loved him, you felt it doubled in return." We need more THIS in the world. Thank you for a beautiful tribute to what sounds like another beautiful human gone far too soon.
As a Caholic, my Mother gave me 25 cents to light a votive for her Mother, and her Father......no Arson here, but I light candles in memory of those that have passed....
Thanks for sharing the story behind this on FB. My mom passed away about a month ago from cancer, and it is crazy to accept this new reality. However, this song, along with music in general, provides a lot of healing. Thank you
Is the Arson , perhaps the Crematorium Director???? ......your Mother did not deserve to be burned........she gave birth.....let that process unwind by Nature.....,You were not built in mnutes, lease respect TIME......Your Mother DID.....
I absolutely love this song I feel it speaks to my soul cause rn I'm struggling like hell to fight through obstacles to make my way in life and I worry that with how my health is that one day soon it'll be too late to enjoy the things I can enjoy today as my back is slowly deteriorating and there's no reversing it and my knees never developed fully so to fix it will require a surgery that I just can't swing the cost of I know this song is about a good friend who passed away far too early and is telling his story but it also gives me hope that tomorrow will be a better day and to live each day like it could be my last
Another emotionally charged song. Right up there with Came for the Fire. This is when Dispatch is at their finest. The importance of these deep songs that emphasize personal relationships cannot be overstated. Keep expressing those cathartic highs and lows via crafty revelations within beautiful songs that Dispatch can do so eloquently.
This song rotated in on my playlist and I was so stoked to find out it was Dispatch! Way to keep it sooo real. Pure awesomeness.Yall been rocking it all these years too. Must have the best fans. I know I am one.
All of your voices are so perfect and smooth i love all of your songs they have so many things that are involved with my family this is my fav song i listened to you guys growing up and i still do god bless you guys i love you
This is amazing!! Love it all dispatch gonna HAVE to go see you all soon... Possibly release another acoustic how to for this song? Loved the "only the wild ones" walk through play it every night!

Phenomenal song.
That's the beauty of harmony, those that think that they cannot sing, can just dive in, perfect....
I really like the production on this track. Also in the top 10 of catchiest Dispatch songs, which is is big statement.

Tragic harmonies.....
Nature is always A Cappela, you have to listen hard........she whispers.......

This song should have been totally A Cappela.....no guitar, no drum........
