La Dispute - Nine

[@prod_jasper]

You guys have no idea how much I love you, I haven't heard a single song of you guys that I didn't LOVE. I'm always proud to say that La Dispute is my favorite band.

[@mdstevens0612]

I understand. I freaking understand. One can't just listen to La Dispute... You experience La Dispute... It shifts your whole paradigm on the world through words and sounds... Suddenly it's not a walk down the street, or a bad day in your room, or a drive in the car... It's a moment. It's a piece of your own story. A moment where all the white noise is gone. A tiny dot on an endless timeline. But a significant dot...

[@prod_jasper]

That's a beautiful way to explain it...

[@AppleJacksAlex]

+Matthew Stevens Agreed. this is probably the best way to explain it

[@haclodiaz]

+Matthew Stevens I see what you did there with the tiny dots

[@alexandrapaley-free5466]

yesss same!

[@Snvw]

I would have loved to just have been there... It's mind blowing how much feeling goes into the songs, the vibe it gives off is just unreal.

It's not the petty imperfections that define us but the way we hold our hearts.

[@bekkaalba]

my favorite line

[@18skeltor]

That shit kills me. Makes me cry.

[@toosessyformycat]

every time i hear this song, tears just start falling out of my eyes

[@tinasplace505]

still here in 2023, i dont know exactly why but this songs makes me feel so overwhelmed, gives me hope for the future and makes me reflect on precious memories. forever a la dispute fan.

[@loralisommer3142]

This recording in this church is fantastic and I can't get enough of it I've been listening to it for years

[@MrGregZK]

Lyrics : I recall once on the church steps When I moved to kiss your chest How we paid such close attention To each sweet and stuttered breath I should've stopped to paint our picture Captured honest pure affection Just to document the difference Between attraction and connection I can see all of my friends and I break into empty buildings When the coast was clear With backpacks full of beer We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops At this city-it looked endless Guess I still don't see the difference Between real purpose and that urgent adolescence And I remember in a basement sharing sweat With all these stranger boys and girls "We'll change the world!" We sang "We'll change the world!" But Nothing seems to change and They say none of them will listen But I still see much more power in that basement Than in useless politicians And if we get beaten by this winter If we get strangled by regret, just Let our love of life intensions Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and Have them throw us in a basement Smash some bottles on the ground, and Say we never knew the difference Between the feeling and the sound Remember not our faulty pieces Remember not our rusted parts It's not the petty imperfections that define us but The way we hold our hearts And the way we hold our heads I hope they write your names beside mine On my gravestone when I'm dead And when we're dead let our voices carry on To find a better song To find a better song and sing along Sing along~

[@knowyouwho]

I think this is the best performance of La Dispute I have ever listened to. The instruments are so pure, full of emotion, the lyrics are really deep. The band really is syncing well with each other, and I love how it all blends together 10/10 would listen again.

[@anthrax1328]

Honestly this sounds so much better than the version on the EP, one of the worst mixes I've ever heard, but I love the song

[@rudeness47]

I dunno their performance on Audiotree was really up to par as well

[@Rafaela-lt2pg]

honestly i used to know this song by heart when i was 14 and i still come back to it from time to time and it's still great

[@3kitties3]

I always come back to this video over the years. It fulfills me, its just so beautiful. La Dispute will always be a fav

[@nomenclature88]

The way this song has evolved from the ambitious yet subtle nuance. Almost timid self awareness, stream of consciousness type lyrics, to the polished diamond cut from it. This is life’s beauty.

[@Vimichi]

Their music still gives me cold chills, just like it has since I first discovered them years ago.

[@TheSheaminator]

This is the first La Dispute song I've ever heard. This is beautiful.

[@TheSheaminator]

+A Bweshpech Since writing I have fully fallen in love with Rooms of the House and have seen them live. An incredible experience and one I would definitely recommend to anyone

[@wildlight9111]

🍒

[@elizabethvalentine8910]

you don't understand how much this band means to me. I love them. their music speaks to me in so many ways. at times it makes me want to burst into tears, scream, smile, laugh, and just run into walls. this is what music is. I get goosebumps every time. I love them.

[@markcoull8957]

I felt so privileged to be there, it was probably one of the best gigs I have been to an dI have been to thousands!

[@marcol6053]

Love this one. I like this version much more than the one on the Here, Hear. III Record.

[@Margohagan111]

I love you always thank you for helping me through some of the worst and best times of my life. When I saw you for the first time it changed who I was

[@nervrenders]

Ever since this song came out it’s been in every one of my playlists I’ve listened to it every week multiple times. I quote it to people when they need to be uplifted or when they need hope. This is is one of the greatest songs ever written. Period end of discussion. Thank you for giving this to the world.

[@peaceloveblondeness]

They never fail to amaze me. They should put Nine on the setlist for their spring tour, I'd love to see it live

[@catsclothesrocknroll]

proud to have lyrics from this beautiful song tattooed on my chest ❤

[@masonjar7963]

What part? :)

[@AntVazAri]

Lyrics adapted to this version: I recall once on the church steps When I moved to kiss your chest How we paid such close attention To each sweet and stuttered breath I should've stopped to paint our picture Captured honest pure affection Just to document the difference between attraction and connection I can see all of my friends and I break into empty buildings When the coast was clear Backpacks full of beer We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops At this city-it looked endless Guess I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence And I remember in a basement sharing sweat With all these stranger boys and girls "We'll change the world!" We sang "We'll change the world!" But nothing seems to change and They say none of them will listen But I still see much more power in that basement than in useless politicians If we get beaten by this winter If we get strangled by regret Just let our love of life and tension Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths Have them throw us in a basement Smash some bottles on the ground And say we never knew the difference between the feeling and the sound Remember not our faulty pieces Remember not our rusted parts It's not the petty imperfections that define us but But the way we hold our hearts And the way we hold our heads I hope they write your name beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead And when we are dead let our voices carry on To find a better song To find a better song and sing along, and sing along, and sing along...

[@TheHammondCheese]

I wanted to let you guys know how many people you have touched by your music. Your messages are truly inspiring and your music is always at such a high caliber. While I haven't always listened to you guys, the past three years with you in it have made a huge impact on my life. Yours was the music I listened to while fighting depression and suicidal tendencies. Yours was the music that got me on to the next day, and for that I truly thank you.

[@paulio2498]

I remember hearing you guys play this song in Hattiesburg MS in the fall of 09. I can still feel the chills.

[@andreasmalz1516]

still in love with this song and the band behind...

[@iheartthirteen]

That's easily one of the best lyrics i've ever seen... I'm insanely happy that they made one more version to it, it's never enough

[@rachellopez6626]

I was telling my boyfriend about how I'm nervous about what song we will dance to at our wedding. What wedding song will be 'our' song. I worry it won't be perfect, or encapsulate us. He knows I'm in love with La Dispute. He links me to this video. Stuttered breath. Honest pure affection.

[@LeafOn1358]

My ex told me the way I went about going out with him, thinking he was cute but holding off to get to know him, reminded him of the lyrics "Document the difference between attraction and connection". Till this day I adore this song.

[@Snowbomb6]

Holy shit I was in this crowd that day! Such a nice and relaxing gig with so many unique sounds just like these

[@askingBrayan]

[@saltydiverrr]

I wish I was there

[@Panasonicyouth123]

[@TamsYouTubAcc]

If you're reading this then I want you to know I love you. You're doing so well and I'm proud to call you my fellow human, no matter who you are or where you're from, your constant support and gratitude of the things you love keeps the flame of hope inside us all alive.

[@eccentriceric88]

oh shut up. My mental state isn't so fragile that i need someone to patronise me. You're not sensitive, you're not caring or preventing suicide.

[@swiftsnail2216]

@@eccentriceric88 Man, there was no need for that. If you don't think they're helping anyone then keep that to yourself. Let them do what they wanna do, even if you're not sensitive, a lot of people are and this actually meant something to them. Plus it wasn't directly to you. It was to people in general. Have a nice week though, I suppose.

[@elsachase5967]

Here I find myself listening to this song for the first time in a while, and it still hits me as hard as the first time.

[@ericac5974]

literally moves me to tears every. time. from the instruments, the emotion in jordan's voice, to the lyrics... It just squeezes my heart with its beauty every single time. so beautiful.

[@benkendall5562]

"I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence" - favourite line, this whole song is fucking beautiful.

[@ericac5974]

hello I'm here again just wanted to say I genuinely think this is one of my favourite songs... ever.

[@zembelle]

This song stirs my heart from a tired slumber of apathy and reminds me what it was like when I was 17, not so long ago and yet it was forever, when everything was new and urgent and raw and frayed at the ends.

[@blakematerman5304]

2021 and still hits the same... God damn

[@simplelatinboy]

This needs to be added to the itunes store. I would totally support you guys by purchasing it

[@maxreber]

fuck i cant start listening to this band again im gonnnana dieeeeeeee

[@MT-hj1nj]

I remember in a basememt sharing sweat with all these stranger boys and girls, "we'll change the world" we sang, "we'll change the world". But nothing seems to change, and they say none of them will listen but I still see so much more power in that basement than in useless politicians.

[@ericac5974]

still in love with this.

[@abbeyclarks976]

They've been my favorite since 8th grade. Helped me through so much. La Dispute is just so unlike any other band.

[@mrjamesbudd]

this was such a beautiful show, you can see me in the video with the checked backpack at the start. it was so intimate and it was such a different experience to any band id ever seen before or since.

Music was made from emotion. And made to evoke emotion. If you sit and listen to La Dispute, actually sit and listen, not with your phone in your hand and in your face distracting you from the present, the presence and true essence of life, then i promise you will FEEL.. I feel what real music is and why it exists. Why it needed to. I'm not telling you what you will feel but you will FEEL. Or you're a robot and I'm truly sorry.

Didn't occur until I watched 20 times and seeing the bassists harmoni-whatever it's called...just realized that this song is nearly the same chord progression as Q and not U's ending to Soft Pyramids. Couldn't help but think of Adam Vass thinking of this song while playing Nine... probably not a thing lol
