mewithoutYou - In A Sweater Poorly Knit (Sleepover Shows)

[@iskeepsitreal]

16+ years later and I will never not love this band. I never fully believed in god until this year but now I understand why I love you guys so much. You knew what I should have known all these years. Thanks for being so calming, emotionally charged, knowledgeable and such an awesome ability to portray all that into a song.

[@jackpurvis3105]

He should write a book of poetry. I'd buy it for sure.

[@jazminrice9132]

Right he’s amazing

[@JavierBonillaC]

I agree.

[@benjaminvillarreal1499]

I mean he kind of did. He wrote like a hundred songs with poetic lyrics. Would be cool though to have a compiled book of them all.

[@group_therapy1108]

Yeah I'd just print out all his lyrics and there ya go

[@LukeParham]

Or just read Ruumi poems since that’s what a lot of his lyrics reference

[@shireenlankarani5068]

So many years later and this still has the best lyrics I've heard

[@ArcticMyster]

alot of times when aaron is performing lives it seems to me like he adds lyrics that appeal to him in the present time, or fit to where they are as a band. i think hes just so lyrically beautiful that its easy for him to let stuff like that just flow. its obvious that he doesn't just love what the music does. he loves what the music is.

[@ZachByrd]

I'm not a religious person, but this song, especially this live version just strums a c across my heart strings.

[@joshuagreen2784]

Zach Byrd Dude I know you like this for the lyrics but I can't listen to this fucker. His voice is terrible. lol

[@joshuagreen2784]

Maybe I just got poor speakers. yeah right : )

[@ZachByrd]

Joshua Green welcome to the first session of Husbandry 101. Today we'll be learning the most important, yet difficult rule: Listen to your wife.

[@joshuagreen2784]

Still difficult after all these years

[@LateNightRewrites]

Followed immediately by an Am?! ^-^ I have a religious experience every time I hear the harp riff on the studio riff. Love me some Weiss brothers

[@kevinpretorius5100]

This song on life cycles make me love mtbing all over again. Best scene ever in mountain bike videos

[@Hunter-vp3he]

I’m seeing them perform for the first time in the 15 years that I’ve been a fan and I’m beyond geeked.

[@dogwalk3]

did corona mess up that opportunity? i had a phosphorescent concert cancelled on me, rightfully so.

[@Hunter-vp3he]

Andrew Noyes fortunately, the show was on Valentine’s Day - a couple of weeks before the world as we know it went to hell. It was an amazing performance! Aaron gave me his set list and I got to talk to Mike after the show.

[@CASHXRAT]

These dudes have such poetic lyrics, great shit

[@NewTheLabel]

This is where beauty meets passion, where passion meets down to earth, where meaningful lyrics and instrumentals create music.

[@rex-up9ln]

"I do not exist, only you exist". Want to have that tattooed

[@brilliantfavor6691]

I am so glad God created you guys you are a sparkle in my eye!

[@nicosamuel9280]

My favorite version of this song

[@grantlunstedt2392]

That part where he tries to come back in with I do not exist lol.

[@jbasti227]

He was "i..oh uh..nvm"

[@imjustaphase]

awww i remember seeing them opening for norma jean alot ages ago.oh the feeling of when you get to see a band progress over 10 plus years.

[@lndsywllms]

and the next 10 :')

[@harvdog26]

First time I heard this tune, chills struck my bones as my heart dropped. Then I looked inside myself, only to discover what I already knew. Life is so very precious...... We truly are alive!

[@SondraSneed]

"The trap I set for you, seems to caught my leg instead" - so visual, such a message of transmutation. From gold to silver, silver to bronze - what was up came down, what was old is new... In this case: what was for me, became 'because of you.'

[@matthudson6686]

Everything about this is absolutely stunningly beautiful.

[@FALCOR1220]

"Go plow some other field and try and forget my name, we'll see what harvest yields and supposing I'll do the same. I've planted rows of peas in the first weeks of july, they should've come up to my knees but they were maybe ankle high. Take the fingers from your flute and weave your colored yarns as I play for passing prostitutes and an answering guitar. I hear there's someone new, an extra pillow in your bed. The trap i set for you seems to have caught my led instead." Perfect metaphor for a break up..

[@italicpigeon]

*out of tune guitar

[@OrthodoxDialectics]

With respect, this isn't about a break up. This line is about being faithful to the Lord's Will, as he does not exist. Also, it's "Out of tune guitar" - not "answering". I say five years later haha

[@FALCOR1220]

@@OrthodoxDialectics oh I know man. But that's the beauty of open ended lyrics. Can relate to them in your own way.

[@concars1234]

@@FALCOR1220 very true funny how talented this guy is about writing relationship metaphors when he confesses he's "technically a virgin at 27 years old"

[@KardavoxAcademy]

I know I run a metal focused channel but no band has had as much of an impact on me as methiwoutYOu had

[@airrick2003]

I hope the dude in the light blue shirt playing the guitar is still playing. He's talented

[@gagecederquist3247]

Hopefully you’ve listened to more of their music by now.

[@rafaeltrindade7009]

he’s always been with the band yes, matter of fact those two are brothers!

[@KingofburstAU]

Always a mystical experience.

[@davenutt8914]

I remember seeing them when I was in high school open up for emery in Connecticut. Amazing. Still love them. ❤️

[@travisbickle8008]

so simple genius beautiful

[@daniesupertramp]

pure music! no auto-tune or any type of editing.. really a beautiful voice

i love this man

[@AnthonyPetrone]

This is good.

[@himynameisjohn]

beautiful.

[@airrick2003]

Beautiful. More please

[@holdfastgreg]

@ijustrule This wasn't the first time he's sung this. There's a lot of references to dating and relationships in their music. It's also in line with the point hes making: we go out of our to hurt people only to really find that its hurting us more.

[@daniellowe09]

you guys are freaking awesomaaahhhhhwahhhhhh

[@zeppelinman1685]

they still make it work, even without amplification.

[@2wheelsdriver]

GREAT MAN !

[@ivanvelasquez3968]

i love you

[@Thisisrob]

how much better can music get?

[@4lifedcfc]

i would almost have to agree that he is one of the best, not taking away from aron weiss, but conor oberst is the greatest lyricist to ever grace this planet

[@redmafiya1986]

Best lyricist in the buisness

[@crowhugan]

[@jamespernal1030]

@ben jennings this song is alot older than 7 years old, this is highschool for me, andim 27

[@VirtageBass]

Aaron and Jordan Dreyer should team up and form a super-song...

[@pastel8453]

"While I play for (passing crust) and (an answering guitar). Dear, there's someone new, an extra pillow in your bed."

[@anyasanyasi532]

Play for passing prostitutes with an out of tune guitar. I fear there’s someone new, and extra pillow in your bed

[@halfknots]

Take the fingers from your flute, to weave your colored yarns. While I play for passing prostitutes, on an out of tune guitar. I hear there's someone new, an extra pillow in your bed. The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead!

[@samiserhan6296]

Aaron and James Mercer for me. Can't really decide since I think James is very technical and precise with the lyrics he writes, whereas Aaron seems very intuitive.

[@justinshowalter5890]

What of James Mercer would you recommend

[@soundslkaplanet]

Damn

[@dogpileonaustin]

It looks like mike is playing F#m, Em on the verses, but it sounds more like F#m, Emaj if you play it...

[@shortnigel]

like two pennies on a train track a train crushed into one

[@Physicsinaflash]

What time signature is this in? I can't quite place it

[@cpu1639]

Um... 4/4

[@Foxpaw]

I play it in 3/4 on the cover on my channel. Maybe I'm just weird.

[@pzapir8]

i'd put him a few pegs below the best (dustin kensrue)....but he's in the top tier at least..........

[@ivanvelasquez3968]

the trap i set four you seems to caught my leg instead

[@jackpurvis3105]

This is different than the album version. Pay for passing prostitutes I think is what he said

[@sylvanreynolds]

*play for for passing prostitutes on an untuned guitar, but your right it is the alternate version.

[@andreamiller100]

Mark Bragg is better to me for sure!!!!

[@angliasn]

passing prostitutes and (on? I think he says and) an out of tune guitar.

[@superstriker00]

This song is 7 years old. I think it's safe to say this is now part of the old shit

[@aramschwartz3081]

less accordion?

[@bluebulk]

lots of talent! just not singing talent... still a good song thumbs up
