Enter Shikari - An Ode To Lost Jigsaw Pieces (in two movements) [Official Audio]

[@alexduke7360]

"I miss them like the majority of modern mainstream music misses An original metaphor for missing someone"

[@rikezambacher301]

Absolutely brilliant

[@kawaiilotus]

To anyone whos lost, family, friends, partners, if it has all torn and burnt up or frayed, just to let you know I'm here for you I understand, we're all here for you, we all understand, even though this song is about losing a partner to the crutches of life, hold your special meaning of the song within you, you can do it without them (all), I believe in you, we believe in you xxxxx

[@vivianabordas5812]

This is actually heartbreaking.

[@willmale5870]

That breath at the end gets me every time.

[@marc___zkz]

Lost my nan today. I knew from the first time I listened this song that I'd come back here on this day...

[@joshleach3349]

I lost mine 2 weeks ago and I listened to this and it was cathartic as fuck

[@danieldinsdale3248]

Wishing you both the best ❤

[@boxxboyy3879]

This album will be looked back upon as one of the greatest masterpieces to anyone who took the time to invest in it. I still openly weep to this song and I've heard it hundreds of times.

[@absolutfx]

Same and still am 2 years later. It hits me differently, but always pulls at my insides.

[@northlanedarko771]

Shit i need to listen to it more than . My first album of them was the flash full of colour absoloute mastwr piece . I looked at everything aftwr and before but jist cpuldnt gwg into it apart from this song. Ill have yo try again

[@danieldinsdale3248]

I use this song when I’m not in a good place, it helps me feel grounded and reminds me that there are people in the world who will miss me when I’m gone . There’s isn’t another song that makes me feel as much as this one does. it makes me want to keep feeling.

[@pieterjoubert7227]

If this is a siege I'll wait this out I'll wait this out I'll wait this out If this is a siege I'll wait this out I'll wait this out But I'm full of doubt I awoke with a face like a crumpled plastic bag in a puddle When everyone in this town is a bag for life He said my life is a total mess, it's 8pm and I'm not even dressed And oh how I miss your Prosecco-glazed lips I miss them like the majority of modern mainstream music misses An original metaphor for missing someone I was so scared of confronting the world alone Fear put me in a headlock and dragged me back from the unknown So if this is a siege I'll wait this out I'll wait this out But I'm full of doubt If this is a siege I'll wait this out I'll wait this out But I'm full of doubt I tried to defend our castle walls But the attack came from within the halls They say that time heals so I'll wait this out I'll wait this out But I'm full of doubt I'll wait this out I'll wait this out I'll wait this out I'll wait this out I'll wait this out I'll wait this out I may backtrack on these words one day I may orphan what I'm about to say But in my chest there's a thundering pain It feels like God's in there, having a migraine And this is tough, man I've lost more pieces of my jigsaw It don't seem worth making now, man They say you've gotta stay busy I'll keep keep keep my mind occupied on the here and now 'Cause you're not with me But that's okay, we'll cope somehow We all cope somehow We'll cope somehow We'll cope somehow We all cope somehow We'll cope somehow! We all cope somehow!

story of my life

[@Sephyricon]

Isn't it "It don't seem worth making now, nan", as in grandma. Which actually just makes it even more sad..

[@rs666devil]

@@Sephyricon It's debatable, I assume he's writing about his ex so idk why he'd include his grandma, but maybe

[@daywalker1175]

It is Nan. The first part of the song is about his ex and the second half is about him losing his last remaining grandparent.

[@NiNo89]

This song is personal to me, and every time I listen to it, I bawl my eyes out.

[@NiNo89]

4 years on and I still struggle to get through this song without crying. It may sound stupid to some, but at 4 minutes in, my cat, Dexter, had a heart attack and died in front of me, and I just remember hearing those lyrics right as it was happening. Still heart broken to this day, he was only 3 :( A maine coon cat, very large boy

[@GenuinelyJake]

This album really is a masterpiece. As you listen to it, there are some songs that you may not like right away and some that you instantly love. It unfolds and unpacks as you go- until you are ready to fully appreciate each track. It's rare these days to have any artists that can develop such a wide composition of layers into one single album. Great job, guys. Also- phenomenal show in Dallas in 2016. I was shown that a music group really CAN care about its fans. I will be at your Dallas show again this January- it's going to be a birthday present to myself!

[@aloneaflame9343]

nah mate this album is was a massive disappointment. 2 months later i bet you don't even listen to this anymore.

[@MrJohnn100]

cant speak for him but I do, and I guess many others do. Just cause it ain't your taste in shikari don't mean its not an incredible album, and what the OP says is all true. Incredible layers, sounds; and fantastic meaning behind all of the lyrics present on this album. True masterpiece

[@GlasgowLassie]

I absolutely agree with you. Its a journey of pure poetry...stunning album. I dont ever remember being so blown away by any other album the way i was with this, it was like being jolted awake again to the healing power of music. Simply beautiful

[@Craigyyful]

@@aloneaflame9343 I couldn't get into this album when it released, then various sections of tracks got stuck in my head and I started to appreciate it; now I love it with the rest of Shikari albums. Each different from the last.

[@aloneaflame9343]

@@Craigyyful I gotta agree with you mate. I wrote my original comment 7 months ago. It's a solid spin like all the rest the boys' LP's so far.

[@somnium_prince]

This song is pure art and just tugs at my heart strings. It's absolutely gorgeous and packed with raw emotion, while so brilliantly immersive, and relatable to anyone whose gone through heart break as well.

[@Joelendeavour]

I did my best to wait it out, I feel I'm finally getting there with this kinda reassurance. This is a timeless track and you guys, you've blown me away everytime I come back to it when I need it most

[@mrmister7947]

played this for my father after he kept calling me drunk to cuss me out about his life and shortcomings....i never seen him cry in a long time...my mom died...he cheated on her divorced him for a woman that used him and left him with nothing.....now the 59 year old man has this album in his truck. Thank you Enter Shikari for continuing to show emotional relatability

[@TenaciousJoe24]

They said that time heals so I'll wait this out, but I'm full of doubt. Beautiful song, beautiful album, beautiful band.

[@soyabean17.]

At the very end of the song and towards the last of the 'we'll all cope somehow' you can hear Rou choking up and then crying. I really hits home how much he is pouring out in this song, nevermind the whole album. It juat makes me love them more and more.

[@absolutfx]

It really is emotionally raw and I love it. I'm tearing up listening to it and life is a lot better than when I first heard it.

[@MattF012]

@@absolutfx i wish all of their stuff was this poignant. This was my first exposure to the band and I was blown away, so I listened to their discography and was thoroughly disappointed

[@gruntskome366]

@@MattF012 I know this was a year ago but I just really needed to say that if every song released by them was incredibly emotional and to the point as Ode to Lost Jigsaw pieces then they'd have no meaning as an emotional piece of music, it'd just be like every other song.

[@MattF012]

@@gruntskome366 I just meant that this song is wholly creative and ebbs and flows so well, but most of their other stuff seems super generic by comparison. It doesn't need to all punch so hard emotionally, I just wish there was more creativity on display like on this track

[@gruntskome366]

@@MattF012 I just can't agree with that, the bulk of their discography is actively different and pushes certain boundries of the musical styles and genres they've gone into. If it's not your thing and you just don't enjoy the bulk of their stuff that's obviously fine, but I just can't ever agree with your labelling of generic.

[@craigstobbs9215]

What a song...."i may backtrack on these words one day...i may orphan what im about to say" the passion and true heartbreak you put into this song amazes me shikari, thank you for being so honest with your music

[@jameshemingway4854]

This song hit me so hard I just couldn’t stop crying. Amazing

[@MrBytmin]

unique band, unique sound, unique combination of musical styles

[@stompingrabbit]

This one and Airfield are probably my favorites on the whole album

[@lukeberrie3942]

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

[@Noster181]

I believe this song has the most passion on the album; to me, it just speaks volumes about how screaming in music should be used. This is beacuse it shouldn't wasted and overused but preserved for the utter frustration and passion. This is certainly true for the second movement Rou despairs and shouts "We'll cope somehow". A masterpiece in my opinion.

[@Noster181]

Of course not forgetting the gasp of air at the end, absolute perfection

[@TenaciousJoe24]

The second half of the song it sounds like he's about to breakdown and cry, I love the emotions he puts in

[@bearpsyd6388]

gcvpip it almost made me cry

[@RanferiH]

this song came out at almost the perfect time in my life where i have lost multiple friends and a beloved dog in a span of 7 months. The line that gets me the most is " its 8 pm and im not even dressed." Sometimes i wont get out of bed or get dressed untill I head out to the bar.

[@AdamArtz]

This song is so fucking sad and beautiful yet at the same time.

[@GT3NB]

The most powerful climax to a song I’ve ever heard. Bigger than Dear Future Historians. Really good. This album is absolutely exceptional but this in particular is just stunning.

[@craigwright5289]

This is my favorite song of all time but nothing is bigger than the climax of dear future historians

Haven’t heard this in about 7 years Hit me right in the feels

[@elijahtrevino2641]

Every time I listen to this song it makes me cry.

[@interlacedlowtech]

Bring me to tears, each time... "I may backtrack on these words one day I may orphan what I'm about to say But in my chest there's a thundering pain It feels like God's in there, having a migraine And this is tough, man I've lost more pieces of my jigsaw It don't seem worth making now, man They say you've gotta stay busy I'll keep keep keep my mind occupied on the here and now 'Cause you're not with me But that's okay, we'll cope somehow We all cope somehow We'll cope somehow..."

Since this song came out I've lost my dearest friend and my father in law. Now this song makes me cry.

[@GlasgowLassie]

This song makes me cry every single time i hear it..its poetry is stunning. Love you boys 💙

[@rainakordylasinski4847]

My best friend died of an overdose two weeks ago. I've been trying to find solace in music, and my sister in law sent me this song. Now it's on repeat.

[@inhabitantofgotoisland]

I just saw your comment and simply wanted to say that I hope you're fine after all these years. We all cope somehow.

[@bvv3977]

I think they do not play this live because Rou will end up crying on the stage..it's such a beautiful masterpiece

[@Sebastianbaraj5]

Im about to start crying

[@RebornLeveller]

This song has just saved me from going out to buy some alcohol after quitting 18 months ago. I really needed to get out some bottled up emotions, and this relatable song was just what I needed (along with “Airfield”). Now I've silenced monkey mind and released and processed all those pesky emotions, my chonic head pain has reduced to a managable level. So I’m about to go out to the local park for a relaxing read by the lake - with a non-alcoholic drink, maybe some chilled Dandelion & Burdock. Then feed the ducks, geese and squirrels. Then maybe use the outdoor gym (while listening to “A Kiss For The Whole World” album). 😊 Thank you for the music and inspiration, boys. ❤

[@Zopke]

nice !

There really is only enter shikari who songs make me cry out of the blue. This, constellations, adiu to name a few.
