La Dispute - Sad Prayers For Guilty Bodies

la dispute - Sad Prayers For Guilty Bodies. with lyrics

[@redbeanbunzz]

La Dispute is like listening to a painting.

[@peachesb5675]

That icon is very fitting

[@drago2021]

That's just so beautiful a description, I can only think you were high while writing that. But seriously, that's the best way I've heard their writing be described.

[@viviens.9335]

hahaha oh my god, i've said the same thing about la dispute for years. can't believe someone thinks the same. that's so cool!

[@quarentinobambio7443]

because some people don't understand, or appreciate its beauty.

[@BikingVikingHH]

A very unattractive and abrasive painting

[@animals4eva11]

When I first heard of this band, I hated them. But they've grown on me so much. These guys write the best lyrics I've ever read, and you can pretty much feel the emotion in his voice. It's different, yeah, and it takes a while to get used to... but once you get used to it.. oh man. This is perfection.

[@HippieInHeart]

Lol, same. My sis showed them to me like maybe 12 or 13 years ago, I was like "eh, guess they're alright. Not really my type of music tho." but then for some reason I kept listening for a while - maybe to figure out why she liked them so much - and they ended up becoming one of my all-time favorites.

[@rotroom]

poetry and spoken word are my two favourite things and la dispute manages to be both

[@xSouthernDiscomfortx]

Can't forget post hardcore too

[@IAmZeKittyCat]

Bruh yes they're so lovely c':

[@joeqwerty1]

Whats up i make music that emulates this band a lot would love for you to take a listen

[@joeqwerty1]

@@IAmZeKittyCat hey whats up i make music emulating la dispute a lot and would love for you to please take a listen

[@BikingVikingHH]

Cried* word

[@kaitfore861]

La Dispute is better than poetry, better than a painting, better than music. La Dispute gets it, the lyrics make you cry or make you feel strength you didn't know you had.

[@Derek-hd3ol]

you'd probably like hotel booksxx

[@amayabelle8678]

+Derek I found la dispute through hotel books playlist

[@elizabethlaughlin5111]

Damn. This band is so good. "What is life without a purpose, a purpose without love?" Damn.

[@josephw.7800]

i get blown away when he starts screaming the vows...

[@johnbohlander5247]

La dispute isnt about vocals.. jordan created 'la dispute' years ago, it wasnt a band it was poetry reading, he did not sing or even try to sing for the first 2 albums. and they werent music albums it was just poetry look up 'one,two,three,four, and so on till 10' example -la dispute,four, in youtube search. he accidently came across this style while reading a poem live. then added music to it and melody, he is litterly just a poet, thats why his 'music' is so beautiful, theyre peoms made to be spoken aloud, not orginally intended as music, take it as you will, but thats all just fact...

[@dirtyfacebabe]

+john bohlander it is music, music is poetry and poetry is music.

[@bomb.throwing.mayhem5261]

Regardless, I think every aspect of this band is perfect for the mood they try to create and their general subject matter. Nothing is out of place.

[@OfftheChainz]

The wife's section in this section is incredibly emotional. One of my favorite albums since I listened to it.

[@lizzieswaders]

"I have washed my hands a thousand times, but still can see the blood."

[@fuzzerify]

"get scent of blood" I think

[@DerTomatenToaster]

No, can see the blood.

[@rvcks9767]

reminds me of macbeth

[@spookyembur]

This hit me hard.

[@tylerandraiden]

“I have washed my hands a thousand times but still can see the blood." Is the correct lyric

[@MrStonerStephen]

His voice might sound annoying to some...but I find that I feel the pain behind his voice. It sounds like he is crying out. And his screams are FLAWLESS. He isn't just a song writer. This man is a fucking poet. The lyrics are BEYOND amazing. Screw all of those pop bands that people say they can "relate" to their lyrics. THIS is music to relate to.

[@beforehonour]

This is seriously one of the most powerful musical and literary expressions of two lovers caught in an adulterous act. The passion, the failed trust. Wow. It's all I can say.

[@galagaman]

Sometimes I just replay the part he says "I wasn't happy" over and over.

[@Omgberto]

I absolutely love their lyrical prowess and their rough voice/yelling. Sounds stressed, which is perfect. I've always loved rough vocals.

[@heartinaboxofficial8859]

This is spoken word off the henges. Like with energy. Where he's actually yelling at top of dbhis heart trying to be heard. It's absolutely magnificent. La Dispute forever.

[@QxJaw]

He IS a poet, I agree. God, this band is beautiful

[@LexAnderMusik]

i feel these are the greatest lyrics i have ever read in my entire life. something changed everything.

[@uglydoll17]

I feel like the voice is an accompaniment to the words, unlike so many other hands. The lyrics are so meaningful, and only a handful of bands I believe are the same. It's kind of amazing when lyrics can mean so much. So many bands now a days aren't like that. Glad I've found another that is still like this :)

[@soraya-3530]

I know i tore two worlds apart but i cant change the way i felt...

[@herbstkoenig]

La Dispute is a band that has managed genius with good music and good lycris connect! Incredible! My favourite song!

[@Warvinc]

I saw them live 1 time...I would give anything to see them another time...Best show ever !

[@hucrew123456]

Love your use of the word flawless. Flawless: without fail. And that's exactly what he does here. Perfection, from every angle, and viewpoint.

[@BlondeCanaqwert]

Listened to this about 35 times now. (Yeah, it's been about 4 hours of just this song) I'm writing and not paying attention to the lyrics and it's helped me focus.

[@DerTomatenToaster]

35 is a great song aswell. Hm. Could listen to that now. Yep, I'll do that.

[@carlykemper7869]

Oh haha I do that too! Sometimes not knowing the lyrics of a song, but just having it play while you write really helps. Thought I was the only one!

[@TheBloomingB]

I love La Dispute. I can't wait to see them in March!

[@paintingskylines]

They have some of the most amazing, meaninful lyrics. I love them

[@chopracer]

how am i just finding out about this, this is the purest music i've heard in years

[@indesisivelove]

the lead singer puts so much emotion into each word he sings. like he was telling someone he loves his feelings for them. THAT much emphasis.

[@Viral-Now]

Saw these Guys live Yesterday Fucking awesome!!!

[@liberate11]

this band is untapped potential if i ever saw it.... they're immense but their lyrics really kill it for me still a 5/5

[@NavUpNorth]

Saw them live with Thrice in LA, Awesome!

[@franciscoowle]

I come to these songs just to remember you.

[@lindsayryan562]

La Dispute - every guitar riff/ solo is beautiful. Musically fits the lyrics. Good stuff :)

[@ambush1242]

saw them last night in boston with moving mountains, thrice and o' brother. THIS is where modern music needs to be going

[@caneisland]

Got goosebumps at "To have and to hold".

[@ivyhageman]

I can respect anything with this much emotion and sincerity.

[@crimsoncuts]

Oh,Great Mercy I'm here to beg forgiveness for this mess..

[@xXJesterHeadXx]

I WASN'T HAPPY! I WASN'T HAPPY WHERE I WAS!!!! OH WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT A PURPOSE?! WHAT IS PURPOSE WITHOUT LOVE??! damn I LOVE this part!!!!

[@Eshkanama]

best gym music ever. this band makes me fucking cry.

[@Elijah-mv4ey]

same but i don't recommend crying at the gym

[@ErickthesickEmO]

Tom Guerrero The Last Lost Continent always makes me cry. Even now after 5 fucking years. Can't get over that song

[@nielsB_FPV]

crying while doing deadlifts ;)

[@Naplingbat]

I respect your opinion. The way I've always looked at this band is like.. Spoken word poetry put to music.

[@thenick880]

I love how the lyrics could be mistake as whiny, but when you actually KNOW the band for who and what they are; and have heard everything they have produced- you come to this realization that he's not really even whining. Most of it is stories about his life, and he's stating; not whining. Like a poetic biography about him, masked in poetry and stories.

[@nataliev95]

i NEED 2 see them live ASAP

[@InsaneAnnya]

So true :) At first, I didn't like his vocals either, but I loved the melody and the lyrics, so I listened to the songs anyway and soon I got used to the voice too. In fact- I fell in love with it, because of all these emotions behind it.

[@RedTheRaptor]

the more i listen to them, the more i love them

[@hivenine583]

This is a true emo band.

[@TheBonegames]

That one emo band im proud of liking

[@dxthehardyzway1997]

I know im barking up an 8 year old comment about a 25 year old complaint but this still isnt emo, this is post-hardcore.

[@chazzahero]

only ten minutes ago did I hear the first song, and already it's gripping a deeper part of my heart than anything much else

[@patrickdamacet6085]

can't believe it has been 10 years already

[@emilyfreeman2940]

Patrick Damacet duuuude

[@LMcQuesten]

Best lyricist I know.

[@jamesclaybourn7192]

The whole band is superb.

[@sculptthebones]

Do they have one bad song? I don't understand how a band can be so amazing.

[@SlateOne447]

wow amazing, that heartbroken voice, i searched for something like that a long time oO

[@jednavrana5720]

His voice....you hear it...the words...you feel

[@skar3kid591]

Am I the only one who thinks that this song is twisted with "New Storm For Older Lovers and Last Blues For Bloody Knuckles"? I mean, the lyrics of this three songs make perfect sense together

[@DerTomatenToaster]

No, that's even confirmed. Just like "Such Small Hands" and "Nobody, not even the Rain" fit together and "Damaged Goods", "Bury your Flame" and "But then again, maybe you were right" do. All of their albums are concept albums, especially the two after this.

[@kadynavery2882]

All of their songs are intertwined like this. It's simply beautiful.

[@silentreaperinvocate573]

Skar3 Kid from what I've found out this entire album is based off is the same story. or every other song or something like that. you should look into it, it's a great story.

[@ErickthesickEmO]

I remember seeing an interview where Jordan Dreyer said that Somwhere is not a conceptual album, but the songs you mentioned fit together since those are part of the same story. New Storms For Older Lovers talks about the conversation of the husband and the guy who stole his wife. Las Blues for Bloody Knuckles is about the husband talking to his wife and finally this one where lovers talk about what they did

[@tylergeorge7726]

La Dispute gives me strength when mine is low.

[@Traun255]

This song always causes my eyes to water.

[@KaiL.R.0]

I've never heard a bad La Dispute song

[@ieleman]

freak awesome!! love la dispute!

[@ChunkyBunny2]

Jordan has one of the BEST voices I'e ever heard, along with EDEN.

[@assassinfromabove7]

one of the best bands to wake up to.......after fallin asleep to them

[@jusssee82]

if jordan ever wrote a poetry book, id buy that shit in a heartbeat.

[@PanosSomethingDoesNotExist]

Best song in the album

[@Draxanos]

I really need to make a playlist of this band... and eventually buy their albums.

[@captaintyinknotts]

this song is excellent.

so good. i cant believe i missed them when they came to tc. :[[

[@Freyastevensyr8]

you can hear the emotion in his voice its amazing

[@jackrowan1632]

la dispute, touche amore, balance and composure, and daylight. all discovered in the last week. never been happier :D

[@DeadlyAssassin94]

The Lyrics, there beautiful

[@sportsmusic114]

You know, people always say that Taylor Swift's lyrics are lyrics you can relate to. And yeah, in some cases they are. But i think people can relate to la Dispute's lyrics as well. The stories they tell, the heartbreak in every word...its brilliant. Just because its poetic and metaphorical does not mean that i can't relate to this. People are just to lazy and stupid to stop and listen and decipher such beautiful poetry like this in music. And its for this reason why la dispute is so underrated.

[@alekzandewr]

Lyrics and guitar and everything is love

[@bloodypunx5055]

If only I had a dollar for every time this band hit me harder than I wanted it to. I'd be rich

[@rawrcrazed]

I love this band, because you can understand the words, and its screamo :')

[@BabvBlues]

Got me through highschool 2014

[@jednavrana5720]

I listen to this and i ask should I share this? I think he said exactly what my heart felt 🖤 and I ask is it moral?

[@jenniferserrano1935]

I wasn't happy I wasn't happy where I was until I discovered La Dispute

[@leyland247]

i love his voice. if you were reffering to technical skills musically, listen to he is here he is not afraid, the surgeon and the scientists, only everything below, shall never lose it's power, said the king to the river, and the last lost continent.

[@Deannaaa94]

I love how different these are.

[@nicholasholland7349]

Life's fragile

[@nicholasholland7349]

Alcohol is terrible

[@ProductiveProjects]

I think this song is about being in an overwhelming kind of love. You know the kind where you both literally go crazy over each other? “Lord did we kill a man and woman just to lie here skin to skin” is saying how they have lost themselves to be together. At first it’s lovely but very quickly it becomes almost like drowning. No matter what you do to try and get back to that lovely spot you once had, you’re both so lost in each other that you can no longer love each other. Love becomes pain and everything becomes a reminder of the mistakes that have been made and even though you desperately want things back to how they were, you come to accept that they never will be, and it’s terrifying.

[@tatianas5049]

I don't think it's about the sound of his voice. I think it's about the emotion he puts into it.

[@omglolzorange67]

This band reminds me of the band Thursday :D

[@Mjinfamous123]

Love it!

[@ryanchristopher8907]

It's all understood, even if you don't understand.

are you high?

[@ryanchristopher8907]

+MobCastLyf absolutely not. perhaps everyone?

[@TheSavannahSavage]

Damn, song gave me chills.

[@gerimccarthy3042]

They amaze me.

[@aphelioncrow5368]

"Should we feel guilty for this sin? Lord, did we kill a man and woman just to lie here skin to skin?" THIS. IS. LYRICS.

[@devangel990]

I like his voice :O it sounds--legit, in pain, something... It fits the lyrics I think.

[@travishardy5757]

Man.. Life sucks still.

[@twistedtopix2419]

to me la disputes a cry for help their poetry is fucking amaising

[@WhitePanda18]

this band is just...good, there isnt a word to really describe how great they are, but after listening to them ive been looking for music like this, so far i have crossed paths with Brand New and The Explorer,i highly recommend them too, but can anyone tell me what genre this is? i dont want a whole argument over it, just an answer would be great to have

[@itsmelissadawg]
