lyrics

Brother of mine, I’ve been keeping my thoughts with you. Hope these words and good luck help to put the worst of it behind. No atheists in foxholes or prayers our mother taught us, I’ve got the best of her in mind. “Keep me close, keep me near.” The words we long to hear. Keep my name on your tongue, this rabbit foot for good luck. Keep me on your mind. If the road ahead is too long or your love and will are gone, know that the night will have its dawn. And if your candle stops burning or your swan starts to sing, stop and think of me. Too many kids in graves up and down these coasts, mothers wait in vain for their boys to come home. Two stars hang still in an open window; one blue, the other soon to be gold. “Hold true, stay swift.” Hull down, dead set.

Panorama

supported by 61 fans who also own “Atheists In Foxholes”

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey

We Already Lost The World
by Birds In Row

Great record, but also purchasing the whole album is worth it for We vs. Us alone; one of the great raging epics of the last decade for sure. So many stages, executed to perfection. Unreal. visiblenoise00

The guitar work is perfect, the bass and drums hold it down and seriously bring it, while the vocal range is absolutely brilliant...OH YEAH, and it's HEAVY! Cidimon Arustavi
