The Antlers - Two (Acoustic)

[@AvalonsMessenger]

oh god this is the most emotional piece of music I have listened to

[@matthewsetlak5589]

think this is sad, get the whole album and listen in one sitting.

[@AvalonsMessenger]

Matthew Setlak >implying I haven't done that since 2013

[@matthewsetlak5589]

AvalonsMessenger oh.

I think in the CD, my friend said there is some sort of dialogue between Peter Silberman and Sylvia (the dying patient for those who don't know). So if you want a better understanding of the album, buy the CD, you'll also be supporting The Antlers.

[@matthewsetlak5589]

what cd? you mean a hard copy of it?

[@huwjones1791]

I must admit, I listen to this song so often, but the few versus after the first (until he kicks in with 'your daddy was an arsehole') I just never could manage to listen to/appreciate. Now I can remember them all as perfectly as the rest of the song, so thank you for this!

[@misti-step]

tbh i like this better than the album version, sooo good

[@KomicKake]

I like his voice and timing in the other one better, but I can appreciate the lyrics in this version more.

[@GragGunslinger]

@whosCory Not quite, the Hospice worker and the patient are in a relationship, and she's bipolar (the patient) this is about how their lifes flashforward without them realizing, and all the sudden they're married, and she's dying and she's taking it out on him.

[@nommonster1364]

Perfect

[@LachyMcLachlan]

I'm not pulling it out of my ass, I've read it on a few websites (informed wrong?) But further reading has led me to realise there are too many vivid stories behind the song/album. None the less - It's a great song and album regardless of the truth or metaphor(s) behind it.

[@LachyMcLachlan]

True. I've come to the realisation that the true story behind it will stay vivid (in my eyes now) - whether it's a metaphor or based on a true story - It's an amazing song

[@GragGunslinger]

@hightimesbruce indeed! -replays for the gazillionth time-

[@penbailey9677]

holy

[@MsJessicaHilarious]

Yeah, I agree. It has more emotion behind it in my opinion.

[@hightimesbruce]

@GragGunslinger Because that's what the lead singer himself has stated in countless interviews regarding the album?

[@hightimesbruce]

@GragGunslinger You're right, just enjoying the music is all that matters. :)

in the middle of the night i was sleeping sitting up

[@joehealy6284]

I get that everyone wants meaning and whatnot to this album, but honestly, just enjoy the music.

[@GragGunslinger]

@hightimesbruce I'm sorry, but your interpreation is more correct than mine because...?

Amanda, you strangled me again when I was 28. I kept dying in every bed I've slept in. And at the hospital, too.

[@JaneDoe-zc2zn]

0:28 And know that I wanted to hear that there was nothing that I could do to save you. All of my abusers. Go to prison. No chance of parole. Multiple life sentences. Death by Supermassive Blackhole Sagittarius A. Never to exist again. The end.

[@GragGunslinger]

@hightimesbruce I have never heard such an interview. If you had heard any of the interviews you would know that Peter has stated he does not want to discuss the true nature of the story. All he has ever said is that the Hospice part of the story is an analogy to a relationship he has had. QED: The patient (his ex.) and peter (the protagonist) were in a relationship. However YOUR interpretation is NOT wrong, It's just different from mine. Let's agree to disagree. :)

[@hightimesbruce]

@amadarose8 Huh?

[@whosCory]

@GragGunslinger oh, yeah that does seem more like it. i was just referring to this interview: /watch?v=J7YKn8HWA6A

[@whosCory]

@hightimesbruce this entire album is about the relationship between a hospice worker and a terminally ill patient. this song specifically is telling about how the doctor analyzed the patient without his/her consent.

[@NickyEatsWorld]

I kinda like this version more..

[@laus102]

i think what actually happened is his girlfriend had cancer, he helped her through it, and afterwards she cheated on and left him.
