| Top 15 La Dispute Songs
I tired to vary my choices to include as much of rrrtheir discography as rpossible (except for the rrWinter rCD which is just shit). | | 1 | La Dispute
Nobody, Not Even The Rain
Such Small Hands and Nobody, Not Even the rain automatically grab the top
two spots for introducing and closing La Dispute's phenomenal LP in
climactic fashion.
"I swear that even with the distance, slowly wearing out your name,
Your hands still catch the light the right way and our hearts still beat the
same" | | 2 | Such Small Hands
"I thought I heard the door open, oh no, I thought I heard the door open
but I only heard it close. I thought I heard a plane crashing, but
now I think it was your passion snapping." | | 3 | Andria
"So, dear, no matter how we part, I hold you sweetly in my head.
And if I do not miss a part of you, a part of me is dead.
If I can't love you as a lover, I will love you as a friend.
And I will lay a bed before you; keep you safe until the end" | | 4 | eight
"The walked away and the thrown-away on one side, and on the other,
Those who pretended not to see them, because not seeing is easier. And I
saw someone forced to walk both sides of the metaphor, to learn that the
greatest cruelty is our casual blindness to the despair of others, that there
but for the grace of whatever god you subscribe to goes any of us." | | 5 | Said The King To The River
"And how we've trembled at the way that time's assembled little fires of
desire in the tundra of our skin. So, do yourself a little favor, savor every
time you waver for that shaking in my voice was only slyly feigned chagrin.
Tonight we ride." | | 6 | Why It Scares Me
"Maybe it's just as much about what comes our way as it is about how we
react. Just as much about the things that we've still got as it is about the
things we lack. I know we won't always keep around all we feel we need-
some are fading in frames, some were born to leave. But if we're still here,
and we still breathe, I guess we've still got time to figure it out, to know
what to do, to know how to feel, know the things that I've been making up
inside my head, and to know what's real."
"And if my heart just stops, pack my memories in it, I want to know all the
love I've got. And if my heart just stops, keep me alive for a minute, I want
to know if a curtain drops. " | | 7 | nine
"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." | | 8 | one
"For more than an hour, Leigh-Cheri stared into the sky.
"Does the moon have a purpose?" She inquired.
The same query put to the Remington SL3 elicited this response:
Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question
is whether to kill yourself or not.
Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question
is whether time has a beginning and an end.
Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed,
and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
There is only one serious question. And that is:
Who knows how to make love stay?
Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.
Answer me that and I will ease your mind about the beginning and end of
time,
Answer me that and I will reveal to you the purpose of the moon" | | 9 | Only Everything Below
"don't believe your ears nor trust your mouth i think that
every single feeble doubt-soaked promise of trust
had a mind to leave you
out in the rain with your hands to the train tracks,
pulling the ropes with your teeth,
but you're too weak and
you're too tired, child,
lay down--I will tear every ghost from your dream. " | | 10 | Fairmount
"underneath the laughs there lies a need
that nobody is getting.
and an honesty that doesn't stretch far enough
to show us all how much this will mean to us, my dear.
and when we're old we'll tell ourselves that we did
everything that we could to save this.
but now--we do nothing." | | 11 | The Last Continent
This is a really long song, but this is my favourite passage:
"Oh, how selfish of myself to always say that it was more than I could take,
like it was pain I could not shake,
like it could break me with its fingers, throw my body in the lake,
and I would slowly sink away
but the Truth is it was sorrow that I made and would not face" | | 12 | five
"There is a loneliness in this world
So great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock
People so tired, mutilated, either by love or no love.
People just are not good to each other.
We are afraid.
Our educational system tells us that we can all be big winners
But it hasn't told us about the gutters or the suicides.
Or the terror of one person aching in one place
Alone, untouched, and unspoken to." | | 13 | How I Feel
"...I guess you understand, man. We had no chance.
I'm tired of fighting with the hand I've been dealt.
So, I take the cards they give me
And keep my protest on the inside of my mouth.
If the best I can do ain't gonna stop what's coming,
What's the point in trying to change how the hand plays out? Don't we all just
die?" | | 14 | Bury Your Flame
"Oh, we could blame it on our hands
They lifted the drink to our mouths so we drank it
Or we could blame it on our bodies
They say, we like the way we feel when we get touched
You've got your fingers snared in my veins
I think it's time you pulled them out
And I don't care about the flesh it'll tear
It isn't flesh that I'm worried about" | | 15 | To Withstand The Force Of Storms
I've quoted my favourite lyrics from each song.
"whisper secrets, speak in a hushed voice
the first thing that you learn is that you never let them hear you
in a soundproof room, in a windowless world
keep your voice down or dull your words.
then,
put on your bedroom face for him,
all pursed lips and half-closed eyes with pink-stained skin
screaming for sleeping hands on downed dresses,
screaming
for dead legs come alive, for dead legs come alive.
oh dear god, there is no excuse for me " | |
