Brand New - Untitled 8 Lyrics

Why does this sound just like I can barely breathe Manchester orchestra guitar

Simply google Leo, bomb, 1945:

I literally started sobbing the second I clicked this song. Sowing Season (and Luca) will forever be my favorite songs and to hear the demo just broke my heart in two. Hearing the vulnerability and the freshness and the pain in the demo just killed me. I love Brand New soooo much.

+Hailey Green jesse lacey is my man crush everyday and will be forever, him and kevin devine are too fucking good to even put into words

losing all my friends. losing 'em to drinking and to driving. losing all my friends. i don't want 'em back. slipping out the back. did you really think we wouldn't notice you slipping out the back in the pouring rain? yeah? yeah.

leo loved his wife. loved her, and was faithful to her always, but buried both the kids in the summer sun. praying for his life huddled in the brig, cold, with his shipmates. praying for his life when they dropped the bomb. yeah. yeah.

... what you waiting for? searching for you brother in the empty room across the hall. "is he coming back?" you're listening at night, waiting for a sound to come up the stairs. you're listening at night for him to slam into the car park, yeah? yeah.

he called me up this summer on the phone; he's breathing, living, and knowing what it feels like to be in some other skin. tell another lover. tell her strong. they timed another fall right again... cold coming around the end, yeah. yeah.

tying both their shoes up, look across the ocean for a signal. waiting for a bomb and an open line. they don't send your letters. they don't telephone you in this hotel. they don't send your letters, but you waiting for him to write 'em. yeah. yeah.

call 'em up to tell 'em about it all. grin and know you feel right again... comin' around the end. call another brother, call 'em all. turnin' 'round... it feels like i'm in some other skin yeah.

*and I want 'em back

I suppose when they actually came to recording this song, he'd already got them back?..

this version holds so much more passion and emotion and longing than Sowing Season.

damn this song for holding so many memories

heard this song in 08...went a lot of funerals that year and those first four lines..."losing all my friends, losing them to drinking and to driving, losing all my friends, and I want em back....." have stuck with me, in a haunting way...love this song

Amazing. These lyrics are so much more deep. I mean i love the finished version. I can't really say i like either better. both amazing. Both bring tears to my eyes occasionally.

This is so incredibly beautiful. I don't even know...

@Xxsoon2bxX The first evokes a sense of yearning, while the second is more contented, calmed.

Sowing Season is one of my favourite Brand New songs, and I think that they should've put both songs on their album! Both are beautiful and should be treated as two separate songs, not just two separate versions.

they should have refurbished this and swapped it with sowing season

@finalyover agreed :)

@Snack314 and the 'demo' acoustic sound it has just makes it all the more emotional!

@Xxsoon2bxX I actually like how Jesse phrases it in the studio version of the song best. I think he says "and I don't want them back". But all three are great.

When I saw him play it live 2 summers ago he definately sang the words "Leo loved his wife" and explained the meaning behind it, so yous wrong.

i like the line 'and I want them back" better then sowing seasons 'but I got them back"
it just fits more.
oh well. Brand new is still amazing.

"he who loved his wife"

So do I.

gonna have to disagree with that one.

i think this is better than sowing season actually. lyrically it's so much better. this song gives me the chills sometimes, how Jesse sings "Slippin' out the back, in the pouring rain" and "But he loved his wife, loved her and was faithful to her always, buried both the kids in the summer sun" is amazing. This is my favorite demo out of the 9. It's so emotional, i love it.
