Unwanted, but breathing In the next room, sleeping My mother, she’s crying And my father’s been drinking In our run-down apartment Where the roof is still leaking He’s cursing and cussing It’s just the whiskey talking And I’ve got lots of memories like this one Of empty days and nights spent tired and lonesome When I think back… to all of it It’s all too much Oh it’s all too much when you’re just a little kid My little brother, just a newborn baby In the image of my mother, says he’s a blessing But not to my father, oh how he hates him “An undeserving mistake” He calls him a burden And I’ve got lots of memories like this one Of picking sides and picking fights between them When I think back… to all of it Well, it’s all too much Well, it’s all too much when you’re just a little kid And when I wake up in the morning it all feels like a bad dream One that follows you and haunts you endlessly Yeah, haunts me endlessly Well, broken and beaten from the abuse and the cheating The addiction, and the lying and the promise of leaving While my old man was a bastard, I admired and loved him And us two kids, we were born in to a family, not a fortune, no
this brings so much memories when i first discovered defeater. and this video too! love from Brunei (se asia). ps please do some more porch session! its been a while
That poor cat at the end. We all know that feeling. Singing along when suddenly the music stops and all that is left is your out horribly out of tune voice.
The cigarette still burning in the ashtray adds so much. God damn. This video.
Unwanted, but breathing
In the next room, sleeping
My mother, she’s crying
And my father’s been drinking
In our run-down apartment
Where the roof is still leaking
He’s cursing and cussing
It’s just the whiskey talking
And I’ve got lots of memories like this one
Of empty days and nights spent tired and lonesome
When I think back… to all of it
It’s all too much
Oh it’s all too much when you’re just a little kid
My little brother, just a newborn baby
In the image of my mother, says he’s a blessing
But not to my father, oh how he hates him
“An undeserving mistake”
He calls him a burden
And I’ve got lots of memories like this one
Of picking sides and picking fights between them
When I think back… to all of it
Well, it’s all too much
Well, it’s all too much when you’re just a little kid
And when I wake up in the morning it all feels like a bad dream
One that follows you and haunts you endlessly
Yeah, haunts me endlessly
Well, broken and beaten from the abuse and the cheating
The addiction, and the lying and the promise of leaving
While my old man was a bastard, I admired and loved him
And us two kids, we were born in to a family, not a fortune, no
I bet this song hits home for a lot of people. This video is so endearing.
This just autoplayed after a bunch of Title Fight and I realized I can absolutely play Defeater on my ukulele now lmao
this brings so much memories when i first discovered defeater. and this video too! love from Brunei (se asia). ps please do some more porch session! its been a while
This is the most perfect thing my ears have ever had the pleasure to listen to
I'm first time seeing this now, oh man I was 10 when this was put here, is anyone still here?
Yes
I was 27 back them, I came back today to hear, play and sing that
Love the crow's backing vocals at the end too :)

I gotta block this video because every time I listen to it I cry. Defeater is awesome.
Love :)
The feel
does anyone have a tab for the intro?
That poor cat at the end. We all know that feeling. Singing along when suddenly the music stops and all that is left is your out horribly out of tune voice.
whats the intro song?!
WOW! Fucking awesome!
Can you do a tutorial on this song I can’t find any
Could we get a tab? :) are you using something other than drop d for tuning?
i like how your cigarette is burning in the background lol
intro?
Anyone got the chords?
That sheep at the end :')
let me light a cig and just leave it burning
1 step down
From E to D
But not drop D
All strings got to be tuned down
Anyone know all the chords??
Look at his hands
I've tried
There's this awesome tool called GOOGLE: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/d/defeater/but_breathing_ver2_crd.htm
Haha thanks if u think that i didn't tried
Well,if you're asking for chords and tabs and watching won't help you,than I guess you're fucked up. Throw that guitar into a fire,hot and burning. :D
the tuning is d standard, so a full step down from standard
No... D# is one half step down, D is one full step down. The tuning of this song is D G C F A D.
