calgarydude12: What Is Your Jane Doe Story?

calgarydude12 09.18.12	I want to finally be included in the Jane Doe circle jerk...
Trebor. 09.18.12	I haven't had a break up since 7th grade I live vicariously through tv and movies and I had just watched (500) Days Of Summer and pretended I was Joseph Gordan Levitt and then cried myself to sleep. When I woke up I cleaned the tears off my pillow and washed my face. I then proceded to turn on my computer and stalk the facebook profiles of the girls I loved. I then put my itunes on shuffle and a certain song came on that clicked with me. It was a song from Jane Doe, at that moment I knew what to do. I had to go off shuffle and listen to this album over and over. Even though I couldn't understand the lyrics I knew exactly what he was saying. Or maybe I was just projecting what I wanted to hear. Either way my life made sense at that very moment. I knew what I had to do. And that's the day I became the man you see before you. That was the day I became Trebor17.
Aids 09.18.12	1. i thought it was pretty good 2. i still thought it was pretty good 3. i liked it a bit more 4. now I think it's still pretty good!
Chortles 09.18.12	damn
elephantREVOLUTION 09.18.12	jane doe took like a year to grow on me, then i realized you fail me is better like 6 months ago
calgarydude12 09.18.12	Solid progression Aids, real fine work
Scoot 09.18.12	i liked the part where he screamed
Trebor. 09.18.12	I think for creative writing practice I might write a story like that in every thread
dathvada321 09.18.12	trebor lol
MO 09.18.12	listened to concubine and laughed then stopped and listened to the rest of the album later, figured it was average!
InFiction 09.18.12	1. i thought it was pretty good 2. i still thought it was pretty good 3. i liked it a bit more 4. now I think it's still pretty good! ^ Same deal. I never didn't like it, but it definitely grew on me more as I went.
Trebor. 09.18.12	For real though, I like it because of how it sounds, I don't even care about the lyrics nor do I even know what they are
Scoot 09.18.12	yeah it's definitely a huge grower went from a 2 to a 4
North0House2 09.18.12	Well a guy that abused my girlfriend for years likes Converge. Pretty sure I'll definitely never like them now. I never really liked them in the first place, but now I just have some bad stigma connected to them, even though it's not the band's fault.
zxlkho 09.18.12	It took me many many listens over about a 6 month period but I finally got it. Classic album in every sense of the word.
Satellite 09.18.12	that's what she said @scoot
Colliiiin 09.18.12	jane doe took like a year to grow on me, then i realized you fail me is better ^ Exactly this.
Uranium 09.18.12	the drums are my favorite aspect of the album
MO 09.18.12	lol satty
WeepingBanana 09.18.12	Axe To Fall is better
zxlkho 09.18.12	Devil and God is just as good for me.
Uranium 09.18.12	tragedy
Funeralopolis 09.18.12	used to love this band then i realized they suck. Jane Doe clicked with me pretty much immediately after i got over how weird the vocals were. Devil And God Are Raging Inside Of Me was a much more personal album for me, even to this day as much as I like the particular album Jane Doe I never really found it that emotional, more so just entertaining.
calgarydude12 09.18.12	The Devil and God, oh yes. thegoldencobra, listen to Love Let Me Go by More Than Life. Many of tears were shed to that album....
HitlerIsTheBest 09.18.12	my jane doe story is that i gave it like 5 chances and it was still just ok but not awesome so i said fuck it
Funeralopolis 09.18.12	untrue by burial can also tear me up sometimes
zxlkho 09.18.12	Certain albums need certain life experiences to go along with them. This is definitely one of those albums.
calgarydude12 09.18.12	I am assuming you like hardcore music since you commented on this thread haha. Because if you havent heard it its hardcore. But the lyrics just cut straight through you if you are going through shit, especially with girls
zxlkho 09.18.12	These floods of you are unforgiving Pushing passed me spilling through the banks And I fall Faster than light and faster than time That's how memory works At least in the dark where I'm searching for meaning When I'm just searching for something I want out Out of every ackward day Out of every tongue tied loss I want out Out of the burdening nightsweats Out of the rising seas of blood Lost in you like saturday nights Searching the streets with bedroom eyes Just dying to be saved Run on girl, run on
zxlkho 09.18.12	fucking lol
Recspecs 09.18.12	I like You Fail Me and Axe to Fall better.
Mike08 09.18.12	Its simple; something I listen to infrequently because I do not like the genre too much. Its a good album, but nothing that has interested me that much. I tried twice to "get" this album, to see it as an amazing thing, its just not there
zxlkho 09.18.12	You fail.
ViralOblivion 09.18.12	Heaven in her arms is my favorite track off Jane doe
Scoot 09.18.12	yeah best
Ethics 09.18.12	first listen, god im so FUCKING cool - lol @ RosaParks...fuk
Aids 09.18.12	...fuk
Acanthus 09.18.12	"It took me almost 6 months worth of listening to this masterpiece" Far too long spent on this album, I blame the breakup.
KILL 09.18.12	u only listened once u didnt give it a chance to grow!!!!!!!!!
porch 09.18.12	feel dirty after clicking on this
Acanthus 09.18.12	@Darth - Same.
BigBlob 09.18.12	I had some pizza. Then some icecream. Washed my dishes. Went upstairs and put Jane Doe into my CD player. Thought it sounded like shit. Had a drink of orange juice. My Jane Doe story.
Dolving999 09.18.12	Good idea for a list! Let's see... At the time I listened to Jane Doe for the first time, I had never had a girlfriend before. But I absolutely loved the musicianship, even though the lyrics didn't mean that much to me. It was only when I started dating (and breaking-up) that the lyrics got to me. Then I realized it was a masterpiece, and to this day it remains my favorite album of all time. On a side note, one album came close to Jane Doe in the category of "best break-up" album: Conversation Piece, by A Lot Like Birds. I started listening to it when I was fighting with my last ex-gf by text, and by the time the record ended, we had already break up. I listen to it all the time now.
Atari 09.18.12	My story is I got tired of people talking about this album and hyping it up so much so I've never listened to it.
Atari 09.18.12	Haha.
Shiduba 09.18.12	Prologue: Downloaded it (no moneys) Chapter I: Listened to it, liked it, thought it was worse than Axe to Fall Chapter II: Listened a few times, didn't still quite get it Chapter III: Clicked with it after 5-6 listens, album is fucking awesome, one of the best of its kind Final Chapter: Axe to Fall is still the best Converge album
MMX 09.18.12	You Fail Me & Petitioning The Empty Sky
MMX 09.18.12	ehhh I like You Fail me a bit more now but Yeah Petitioning the Empty Sky and Petitioning the Empty Sky
calgarydude12 09.18.12	Don't get me wrong, I love every Converge album basically, I just usually thought that there was a story behind the great "Jane Doe" and the experiences of that first listen. I hated it at first. I used to make fun of people who loved this album on sputnik haha.
calgarydude12 09.18.12	Also the 6 months thing, first time I listened to Jane was like 6 months ago and I hated it, then it just grew. The break up did speed that process up though.
Atari 09.18.12	streaming it now not a fan.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.18.12	Is this thread actually happening? Oh yeah, sputnik
bloc 09.18.12	My story is that I heard it and thought it sucked. The end.
Atari 09.18.12	lol yeah pretty much.
truekebabpower 09.18.12	I'm going to watch (500) Days Of Summer again, only this time Jane Doe will be playing as background music
anarchistfish 09.18.12	I liked it on the first listen but I seem to be in a minority with that. It wasn't my first Converge album though (although I liked that album on my first listen too). Axe To Fall is their best
Aids 09.18.12	"Best break up album ever is My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go by Aereogramme. Not up for dispute." For Emma, Forever Ago Blood on the Tracks Sit Resist Diary High Violet Transatlanticism The Midnight Organ Fight Love Let Me Go Somewhere At The Bottom (unless you hate La Dispute) etc. etc. etc. but ok ill check that album out
Jash 09.18.12	Aids did you actually just forget Joni Mitchell's "Blue"...
Jash 09.18.12	oh yeah Jane Doe, I heard it and instantly fell in love, not much of a story I just thought it was awesome
LifeAsAChipmunk 09.18.12	never listened to it
taxidermist 09.18.12	Broke a girls heart real bad. Listened to Jane Doe. GAY. 1/5. Put myself in her place. Listened to Jane Doe. That feel ;_; 5/5
Atari 09.18.12	lol i'm with you sixdegrees.
cagedescending 09.18.12	"untrue by burial can also tear me up sometimes" i wasn't sure if we could be frie-e-endsss ...fuk
bloc 09.18.12	"sweet story bloc and acanthus" Whew...thought you were gonna ban me for plagiarism...
Adabelle 09.18.12	Thread is hilarious
bakkermaarten007 09.19.12	I actually only love the title track of that album, though I only gave the album in its entirety 2 spins, maybe I should give it some more? I'm not that kind of an angry person though, maybe it's just that . I'm more hateful, but I'll cope with it in silence and have something like "yeah whatever, go away then, I don't even care anymore." The coward way I guess.
pmmets07 09.19.12	1. i thought that i had to think it was good 2. i pretended to like it 3. i kinda liked it 4. i saw converge live 5. i like it but think their other stuff is better
danielito19 09.19.12	heard it/loved it
Salander 09.19.12	Run on girl, so I can get overs yous.
Captain North 09.19.12	Wasn't a break up album for me, rather unrequited love and moody walks around the neighbourhood in the afternoon sun/sunset. Also, is it just me or is the title track the only one where the lyrics completely fail to match up? After a struggle I managed to go along with all the other songs, but Jane Doe is just impossible to follow.
Salander 09.19.12	^ One of them, Distance and Meaning & Hell to Pay's actual lyrics are pretty different along with most of the other songs from what I've read.
