"When you sleep, she's standing there with open arms" - I keep finding old AM! lyrics that I realize aren't about what you assume they're about. Damn.

[@chrisw3147]

Can you please explain?

[@ajrollo1437]

@@chrisw3147 "She" is Laura.

[@alicec1533]

@Stephen Spinato What about the following line "And one night could last forever, And if you asked her she'd never let go, and you'd stay forever"? Idk, the former interpretation could be correct.

[@_ADINFINITUM]

"And I know they're going to laugh at us when they see us out together holding hands like this" is about Laura's relationship with what she calls "her" in her book--the girl/woman she always wanted to be but hid from the rest of the world.

[@rustbeltprogressive3968]

Insane these songs crushed me before some of the front row was born. And I don't doubt they know the words as well as me.

I lost track of Against Me! For a long while. Hearing pints of Guinness hit me in the heart the same way more than two decades later. Wonderful

did you get surprise by the singer?

[@limdog5000]

Thank you for capturing this performance!

[@reneeb6411]

Thanks for posting this!!!! I have listened to the older albums probably a million times and AM is such a huge part of my life’s sound track as a youth. I was a little afraid to listen or go to a concert after we met Laura Jane. I was thinking she would soften her voice.... I don’t know if anyone else felt the same way. But my God!!!! This is amazing and still the same band I have loved for all these years. They will be in my town this Friday... I’m going because of this! Seriously the first time I listened to them since the transition....Thank you thank you!!! I am so stoked..... and I’m bringing my 12 year old son!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Disco Before The Breakdown saved my fucking life. There's something so fulfilling about seeing Laura perform the song instead of Tom

[@CriticsConfession]

There never was a Tom, only Laura. She's only ever been Laura.

[@Azzamanify]

@@CriticsConfession You know exactly what they meant. Why respond to somebody opening up about something so traumatic to them in the way that you have, instead of so bluntly?

[@CriticsConfession]

@@Azzamanify And what they meant is still misconceiving and hurtful to trans people. A white person could say "I wanted to kill myself one time" and then use the n word in the same sentence and I'd still tell them not to say that word.

It's interesting to notice how often Laura would write lyrics using the pronoun "she" prior to coming out. I wonder how often she was talking about herself.

[@Pandameter13]

Laura has been coming out for a long time. I remember the mentions of 'dressing up as a woman' on Searching For a Former Clarity, to say nothing of The Ocean. I'm sure there are earlier references too. It's honestly so obvious I'm embarrassed to not have noticed for as long as I had
