You guys have no idea how much I love you, I haven't heard a single song of you guys that I didn't LOVE. I'm always proud to say that La Dispute is my favorite band.
I understand. I freaking understand. One can't just listen to La Dispute... You experience La Dispute... It shifts your whole paradigm on the world through words and sounds... Suddenly it's not a walk down the street, or a bad day in your room, or a drive in the car... It's a moment. It's a piece of your own story. A moment where all the white noise is gone. A tiny dot on an endless timeline. But a significant dot...
still here in 2023, i dont know exactly why but this songs makes me feel so overwhelmed, gives me hope for the future and makes me reflect on precious memories. forever a la dispute fan.
I think this is the best performance of La Dispute I have ever listened to. The instruments are so pure, full of emotion, the lyrics are really deep. The band really is syncing well with each other, and I love how it all blends together 10/10 would listen again.
The way this song has evolved from the ambitious yet subtle nuance. Almost timid self awareness, stream of consciousness type lyrics, to the polished diamond cut from it. This is life’s beauty.
Lyrics : I recall once on the church steps When I moved to kiss your chest How we paid such close attention To each sweet and stuttered breath I should've stopped to paint our picture Captured honest pure affection Just to document the difference Between attraction and connection I can see all of my friends and I break into empty buildings When the coast was clear With backpacks full of beer We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops At this city-it looked endless Guess I still don't see the difference Between real purpose and that urgent adolescence And I remember in a basement sharing sweat With all these stranger boys and girls "We'll change the world!" We sang "We'll change the world!" But Nothing seems to change and They say none of them will listen But I still see much more power in that basement Than in useless politicians And if we get beaten by this winter If we get strangled by regret, just Let our love of life intensions Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and Have them throw us in a basement Smash some bottles on the ground, and Say we never knew the difference Between the feeling and the sound Remember not our faulty pieces Remember not our rusted parts It's not the petty imperfections that define us but The way we hold our hearts And the way we hold our heads I hope they write your names beside mine On my gravestone when I'm dead And when we're dead let our voices carry on To find a better song To find a better song and sing along Sing along~
+A Bweshpech Since writing I have fully fallen in love with Rooms of the House and have seen them live. An incredible experience and one I would definitely recommend to anyone
you don't understand how much this band means to me. I love them. their music speaks to me in so many ways. at times it makes me want to burst into tears, scream, smile, laugh, and just run into walls. this is what music is. I get goosebumps every time. I love them.
If you're reading this then I want you to know I love you. You're doing so well and I'm proud to call you my fellow human, no matter who you are or where you're from, your constant support and gratitude of the things you love keeps the flame of hope inside us all alive.
@@eccentriceric88 Man, there was no need for that. If you don't think they're helping anyone then keep that to yourself. Let them do what they wanna do, even if you're not sensitive, a lot of people are and this actually meant something to them. Plus it wasn't directly to you. It was to people in general. Have a nice week though, I suppose.
Ever since this song came out it’s been in every one of my playlists I’ve listened to it every week multiple times. I quote it to people when they need to be uplifted or when they need hope. This is is one of the greatest songs ever written. Period end of discussion. Thank you for giving this to the world.
My ex told me the way I went about going out with him, thinking he was cute but holding off to get to know him, reminded him of the lyrics "Document the difference between attraction and connection". Till this day I adore this song.

I was telling my boyfriend about how I'm nervous about what song we will dance to at our wedding. What wedding song will be 'our' song. I worry it won't be perfect, or encapsulate us. He knows I'm in love with La Dispute. He links me to this video. Stuttered breath. Honest pure affection.
I wanted to let you guys know how many people you have touched by your music. Your messages are truly inspiring and your music is always at such a high caliber. While I haven't always listened to you guys, the past three years with you in it have made a huge impact on my life. Yours was the music I listened to while fighting depression and suicidal tendencies. Yours was the music that got me on to the next day, and for that I truly thank you.
I remember in a basememt sharing sweat with all these stranger boys and girls, "we'll change the world" we sang, "we'll change the world". But nothing seems to change, and they say none of them will listen but I still see so much more power in that basement than in useless politicians.
This song stirs my heart from a tired slumber of apathy and reminds me what it was like when I was 17, not so long ago and yet it was forever, when everything was new and urgent and raw and frayed at the ends.
this was such a beautiful show, you can see me in the video with the checked backpack at the start. it was so intimate and it was such a different experience to any band id ever seen before or since.
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE...perfect setting...amazing atmosphere...10/10 I hope they write your name beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead
literally moves me to tears every. time. from the instruments, the emotion in jordan's voice, to the lyrics... It just squeezes my heart with its beauty every single time. so beautiful.
I recall once on the church steps When I moved to kiss your chest How we paid such close attention To each sweet and stuttered breath I should've stopped to paint our picture Captured honest pure affection Just to document the difference between attraction and connection I can see all of my friends and I break into empty buildings When the coast was clear With backpacks full of beer We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops At this city-it looked endless Guess I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence And I remember in a basement sharing sweat With all these stranger boys and girls "We'll change the world!"

Love you guys! Saw you play this live at Calvin in Grand Rapids, MI. Absolutely amazing, beautiful, and moving. Can't wait to see you guys live again! The acoustic sit down sets are a great addition to your tour!! Keep them up! Would love to see them again next year!
My girlfriend go me a custom made necklace with their logo on it and pretty soon I'll be getting a tattoo. Hands down my most favorite band! Nothing hits more than their songs.
It makes me so sad that I had a chance to go to one of these slower paced church sit down concerts and I didn't :( I really hope I get a chance to see them next year (if they go on tour) (come to philly)
10 years later passed my emo phase out of high school and I'm still here. No emo phase, just depressed and gone through so much shit in those 10 years that I can't even process it
First reaction: WOWWWW NEW VIDEO NEW SINGLE NEW ALBUM. Then: Oh god just a song from an eP WAIT WAIT IS THAT FROM HERE III??!?!?!?!!!! Love La Dispute and love this
I wish the album version I bought was just like this one. There is much more emotion in this version, we can feel the drum build up clearer and more powerfull. Still quite a heartfelt piece.
So excited to see you fucking guys in Nashville with Thrice! Been waiting a long while to see you all live. Love the music, have for a long time. Absolutely stoked.
Two interesting lyrical differences from the album version: "heartless politicians" was changed to "useless politicians", and "Have them lay us in a basement" was changed to "Have them throw us in a basement."
la dispute will always have a special place in my heart, even passed my emo phase
Very much agreed

That's a beautiful way to explain it...
+Matthew Stevens Agreed. this is probably the best way to explain it
+Matthew Stevens I see what you did there with the tiny dots
yesss same!
still here in 2023, i dont know exactly why but this songs makes me feel so overwhelmed, gives me hope for the future and makes me reflect on precious memories. forever a la dispute fan.
I would have loved to just have been there... It's mind blowing how much feeling goes into the songs, the vibe it gives off is just unreal.
:^)
xNMM no u
Snvw xNMM gotcha nerds :^)
It's not the petty imperfections that define us but the way we hold our hearts.
my favorite line
That shit kills me. Makes me cry.
I think this is the best performance of La Dispute I have ever listened to.
The instruments are so pure, full of emotion, the lyrics are really deep.
The band really is syncing well with each other, and I love how it all blends together
10/10 would listen again.
Honestly this sounds so much better than the version on the EP, one of the worst mixes I've ever heard, but I love the song
I dunno their performance on Audiotree was really up to par as well
The way this song has evolved from the ambitious yet subtle nuance. Almost timid self awareness, stream of consciousness type lyrics, to the polished diamond cut from it. This is life’s beauty.
every time i hear this song, tears just start falling out of my eyes
Lyrics :
I recall once on the church steps
When I moved to kiss your chest
How we paid such close attention
To each sweet and stuttered breath
I should've stopped to paint our picture
Captured honest pure affection
Just to document the difference
Between attraction and connection
I can see all of my friends and
I break into empty buildings
When the coast was clear
With backpacks full of beer
We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops
At this city-it looked endless
Guess I still don't see the difference
Between real purpose and that urgent adolescence
And I remember in a basement sharing sweat
With all these stranger boys and girls
"We'll change the world!" We sang
"We'll change the world!" But
Nothing seems to change and
They say none of them will listen
But I still see much more power in that basement
Than in useless politicians
And if we get beaten by this winter
If we get strangled by regret, just
Let our love of life intensions
Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and
Have them throw us in a basement
Smash some bottles on the ground, and
Say we never knew the difference
Between the feeling and the sound
Remember not our faulty pieces
Remember not our rusted parts
It's not the petty imperfections that define us but
The way we hold our hearts
And the way we hold our heads
I hope they write your names beside mine
On my gravestone when I'm dead
And when we're dead let our voices carry on
To find a better song
To find a better song and sing along
Sing along~
😊😊
honestly i used to know this song by heart when i was 14 and i still come back to it from time to time and it's still great
I always come back to this video over the years. It fulfills me, its just so beautiful. La Dispute will always be a fav
This is the first La Dispute song I've ever heard. This is beautiful.
+A Bweshpech Since writing I have fully fallen in love with Rooms of the House and have seen them live. An incredible experience and one I would definitely recommend to anyone
🍒
This recording in this church is fantastic and I can't get enough of it I've been listening to it for years
I felt so privileged to be there, it was probably one of the best gigs I have been to an dI have been to thousands!
Love this one.
I like this version much more than the one on the Here, Hear. III Record.
Their music still gives me cold chills, just like it has since I first discovered them years ago.
you don't understand how much this band means to me. I love them. their music speaks to me in so many ways. at times it makes me want to burst into tears, scream, smile, laugh, and just run into walls. this is what music is. I get goosebumps every time. I love them.
They never fail to amaze me. They should put Nine on the setlist for their spring tour, I'd love to see it live
proud to have lyrics from this beautiful song tattooed on my chest ❤
What part? :)
I remember hearing you guys play this song in Hattiesburg MS in the fall of 09. I can still feel the chills.
If you're reading this then I want you to know I love you. You're doing so well and I'm proud to call you my fellow human, no matter who you are or where you're from, your constant support and gratitude of the things you love keeps the flame of hope inside us all alive.
oh shut up. My mental state isn't so fragile that i need someone to patronise me. You're not sensitive, you're not caring or preventing suicide.
@@eccentriceric88 Man, there was no need for that. If you don't think they're helping anyone then keep that to yourself. Let them do what they wanna do, even if you're not sensitive, a lot of people are and this actually meant something to them. Plus it wasn't directly to you. It was to people in general.
Have a nice week though, I suppose.
I love you always thank you for helping me through some of the worst and best times of my life. When I saw you for the first time it changed who I was

"I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence" - favourite line, this whole song is fucking beautiful.
still in love with this song and the band behind...
That's easily one of the best lyrics i've ever seen... I'm insanely happy that they made one more version to it, it's never enough
hello
I'm here again
just wanted to say I genuinely think this is one of my favourite songs... ever.
I wanted to let you guys know how many people you have touched by your music. Your messages are truly inspiring and your music is always at such a high caliber.

Holy shit I was in this crowd that day! Such a nice and relaxing gig with so many unique sounds just like these
Lucky
I wish I was there
will be the whole show upload?
I read unique as urine omg
I remember in a basememt sharing sweat with all these stranger boys and girls, "we'll change the world" we sang, "we'll change the world".
But nothing seems to change, and they say none of them will listen but I still see so much more power in that basement than in useless politicians.
Here I find myself listening to this song for the first time in a while, and it still hits me as hard as the first time.
This needs to be added to the itunes store. I would totally support you guys by purchasing it
Here hear is the only thing that’s kept me going for this long. Everyday I feel like I’m going to die and this keeps me grounded
hope you're doing okay shane
Yes, keep on holding on, Shane!
I would love to see this full set
still in love with this.
2021 and still hits the same... God damn
This song stirs my heart from a tired slumber of apathy and reminds me what it was like when I was 17, not so long ago and yet it was forever, when everything was new and urgent and raw and frayed at the ends.
They've been my favorite since 8th grade. Helped me through so much. La Dispute is just so unlike any other band.
I keep coming here, when I am remembered of my demons, seeking for solace
Sing along song alongggg
I'm so addicted to this version of Nine, please release this one.
this was such a beautiful show, you can see me in the video with the checked backpack at the start. it was so intimate and it was such a different experience to any band id ever seen before or since.
this made history in my eyes
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE...perfect setting...amazing atmosphere...10/10
I hope they write your name beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead
literally moves me to tears every. time.

its makes me super happy this was made cause this is actually my favorite song by you guys
Over and over I listen to this
Love you guys! Saw you play this live at Calvin in Grand Rapids, MI. Absolutely amazing, beautiful, and moving. Can't wait to see you guys live again! The acoustic sit down sets are a great addition to your tour!! Keep them up! Would love to see them again next year!

My girlfriend go me a custom made necklace with their logo on it and pretty soon I'll be getting a tattoo. Hands down my most favorite band! Nothing hits more than their songs.
I can't stop listening to the part at 2:32 when all the emotion goes into the singing

This song will always warm my heart

I just cannot stop listening to this
It makes me so sad that I had a chance to go to one of these slower paced church sit down concerts and I didn't :( I really hope I get a chance to see them next year (if they go on tour) (come to philly)
Been my favorite band for five years.
10 years later passed my emo phase out of high school and I'm still here. No emo phase, just depressed and gone through so much shit in those 10 years that I can't even process it
Congrats, glad you do better now
This is amazing. It really made me cry.

I love you La Dispute !
A fan from France
ohh their music hits right in the feels
i love this and their work
This, A Letter and Woman Reading are so far my favorite songs, but I've yet to hear one that wasn't amazing.
First reaction: WOWWWW NEW VIDEO NEW SINGLE NEW ALBUM.
Then: Oh god just a song from an eP WAIT WAIT IS THAT FROM HERE III??!?!?!?!!!!
Love La Dispute and love this
***** :( anyway I have enough La Dispute for a lont time because RotH was amazing
Where can I find this version tbh
How the fuck have I only just heard this version. I love the EP release but this rolls me.
Perfection... Utterly perfection...

This is sweet! Love that Heritage guitar.
So beautiful.
I love this song so much
The drums are so good here.
this is my favourite thing
Lovely tune and video.
please come to memphis, tn. you could play in an amazing venue called the hi tone
I wish the album version I bought was just like this one. There is much more emotion in this version, we can feel the drum build up clearer and more powerfull. Still quite a heartfelt piece.
So excited to see you fucking guys in Nashville with Thrice! Been waiting a long while to see you all live. Love the music, have for a long time. Absolutely stoked.
I'm new to this band! Do you guys have any recommended songs?
i love each one from Rooms of the house and Wildlife (both are on spotify)
listen to wildlife from beginning to end
Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair is their best album
A poem, St paul missionary baptist church, safer in the forest
"Bury your flame"
Two interesting lyrical differences from the album version: "heartless politicians" was changed to "useless politicians", and "Have them lay us in a basement" was changed to "Have them throw us in a basement."
Please put this song on itunes & spotify it's my fav :c
This is beautiful.
Boulder, CO meets At The Drive-In. And I like it
i didn't know it was possible to fall more in love with this band...
I'm so glad i found this
2021 and forever 🖤
@@juliozarate9359 who you mean mugging bish
You’ve saved my life
Am i the only one who is really sick of these "it is sounds like blahblah" comments? Its sounds like La Dispute...get over it!
YES haha. When they say they sound like Twenty One Pilots... when La Dispute has been around for much long time than that other band.
forreal they are so unique haha
Sounds like Whitechapel
@@codyderbyshire8634 Yes
Will never not listen to you all 🖤💜
BEEN MY FAVORITE BAND FOR HELLAS AND I NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION UNTIL NOW WTF
this is still one of the most beautiful things that exists on this planet
