The Dismemberment Plan - The City

[@calebw3353]

"This is where I live, but I never felt less at home" Still hits the hardest because of how much I relate

[@TehMarche]

Caleb W city life

[@dj-fuzz]

Despite these feelings of loneliness, somehow, I know I'm not the only one. Easily one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

[@Kriskazam]

i like his voice, it has a unique rawness to it that separates himself from other vocalists that are just "clean and have pitch"

[@C4blewupmybaby]

Whenever I hear this song, I miss my older brother who moved to the other side of the country. D-Plan was one of the last shows we went to, before they broke up.

[@Barcles_G]

In terms of songwriting, structure, passion, awesome music ability and groove - this is literally one of the greatest songs ever written. And that’s before you get to the lyrics- which are some of the best and most moving storytelling ever. What a band.

[@BonoLightier]

This is my all-time favorite song!

[@alihassan-ve3hw]

Good choice

[@declanwarner4835]

Great song

[@CollinFC]

Dismemberment Plan + walking in the snow= perfection.

[@zbox6420]

The song or the activity of walking in the snow

[@WinstonTheFrog]

Fun fact for Roosterteeth fans out there: Dismemberment Plan formed at the same high school Joel attended in the early 80s. In the RT Podcast #35, Joel tells a story of a shooter holding his principal hostage at Lake Braddock Secondary School, a fact he later confirmed on Twitter. After a couple curious minutes on the Lake Braddock Wikipedia page, I noticed two members of this band in the notable alumni secton, immediately recognizable due to Gus's spiel on a later podcast. They even graduated in the same year Joel presumably did, although he had most likely moved schools by then. So there you go. I bet by borrowing a pencil from some guy one day in seventh grade, somehow inspiring a lyrical masterpiece, Joel inadvertently made Gus a little bit happier. Everything comes full circle.

[@TBE-SNAFU]

This is also Gus's favorite band

[@adrianshaw883]

Where'd you get that information from?

[@paranoidandroid192]

As a fan of both this band and rooster teeth, thanks for sharing as this is really interesting.

[@GraditudevsRevenge]

This song is literally perfection.

[@xXTristenBlairXx]

GraditudevsRevenge - I wouldn’t say all that.. lol Considering the singers pitchy voice. But I still like the song.

[@josephscott6388]

I dont think people know what pitchy means. It means being off pitch. Off key. He is not off key. He is not pitchy. He may not have born with the mellifluous of voices, but he dont sing off key.

[@declanwarner4835]

Joseph Scott exactly

[@jyoats7959]

The first chord- just- ahh- it hits home

[@graagraes]

This reminds me of living in Copenhagen and watching all my friends move to smaller cities with their spouses.

[@JaredBared]

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE I CAN BREATHE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

[@inamoratasamazing]

Most underrated band of the 90s.

[@jongallardo8006]

I think Failure would like a word with you!

[@dayday1080]

they have such a great sound...and they always put on great performances...that's what make them such a great band

[@9000joser]

Heard this song in 2010 and been a fan ever since !!!!!!

[@dairylandbogurt]

I had a silly twang of panic at 1:35 when I thought he was gonna break out in a full fledged kelly clarkson chorus. great stuff though :p

[@moharira]

This song is so addicting. It has never gotten old for me.

[@somedisgustingrat]

Verse 1] Well, now I notice the streetlamp's hum The ghosts of graffiti, they couldn't quite erase The blank-faced stares on the subway as people go home The parks lay empty like my unmade bed The streets are silent like my lifeless telephone And this is where I live, but I've never felt less at home [Chorus] So I'm not unsympathetic I see why you left There's no one to know There's nothing to do The city's been dead Since you've been gone [Verse 2] Sometimes I stand on my roof at night And watch as something seems to happen somewhere else I feel like the breeze could pick me up and carry me away Out and over the iridescent grid Up and away from the bar fights and neon lights And out and away from everything that makes me what I am [Chorus] So I'm not unsympathetic I see why you left There's no one to know There's nothing to do The city's been dead Since you've been gone [Outro] Oh, I never had just whatever it is you want, baby And I really tried, tried and tried with all my might, it made me crazy To try to figure out what it is I've done wrong every time When everything I love, everything I hold dear Heads out sometimes All I ever say now is goodbye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye

[@alvins_hot_juicebox]

I'm the only person I know who knows about this band and it's a goddamn shame.

[@Fildoggy]

Jerran Winn spread it baby

[@johnplex706]

Sometimes I stand on my roof at night And watch, as something seems to happen somewhere else I feel like the breeze will pick me up and carry me away Out and over this iridescent grid Up and away from the bar fights and neon lights Out and away from everything that makes me what I am So I’m not unsympathetic I see why you left There’s no one to know There’s nothing to do The city’s been dead Since you’ve been gone…

[@MicrowaveDemon]

Discovered these guys about three months ago, and I'm hooked! Can't wait 'till they go on an European reunion tour!!!!

[@johnplex706]

Now I notice the streetlamp’s hum The ghosts of graffiti they couldn’t quite erase The blank-faced stares on the subway As the people go home The parks lay empty like my unmade bed The streets are silent like my lifeless telephone And this is where I live, but I’ve never felt less at home So I’m not unsympathetic I see why you left There’s no one to know There’s nothing to do The city’s been dead Since you’ve been gone…

[@ShadowCrowX]

thanks to a This Town Needs Guns interview, I discovered this band

[@ZimFreak137]

Rooster Teeth is a gaming company that branched out into youtube shorts, a (very popular) podcast, and even a game show. Gus is the host of the RT podcast and he recently said that The Dismemberment Plan is his favorite band, even going so far as to buy a plane ticket to fly from Texas to Washington DC just to see them live. That was enough reason for us all to check them out. And I'm pretty impressed.

[@TheDarkDesire123]

Red v Blue is my jam, and I'm a huge TDP fan so thanks for the info

[@tmizzlebmx]

Wow this song brings back so many good skat and bmx memories with my friends when I was so young man

[@protofrmer56]

Just started listening and I already love it.

[@sweatshirt029]

my green haired girlfriend and i love this band!

[@RealAsaMitaka]

damn this track kicks ass

[@macklemoreosis]

man the drummer is amazing

[@pferm201]

just saw them on jimmy fallon re-run. im not into rock too much but i have to admit this song is great. The pitch bending they do is incredible along with the rest of the instrumentals. They did put on a great show on jimmy fallon. Good stuff

[@notmytruthTHEtruth]

The drums are so good on this

[@wyattarp1975]

in my mind, this is the best song they ever did.

[@sashimiwuw4499]

Underrated

[@rahimbahtiyarov8122]

Fire 🔥👍

[@Mrius86]

I love that ritardando at the end!

[@Miloxygen]

PBS Idea Channel brought me here.

[@zoehardee8636]

Was this on the record wall? I don't remember it

[@Virvellian]

we need this in better quality

[@9000joser]

8 years ago I heard this song on sirus xmu I was in 7th grade when I heard it

[@GothicTeaVea]

found out about these guys on an xbox demo disk

[@ojsdaddy]

same bra

[@ojsdaddy]

2002

[@9000joser]

What disk was that because i heard these guys back in 2010 when i was in 7th grade my brother was listening to Sirius xmu lol

[@CHANDSOME]

Caught these guys on Fallon last night and although I'm more of a DnB head, I really dug this song. The drumming is solid and the pitch bending kinda sets the tune off! Good stuff!

[@bassgirl_denalia9087]

They're so amazing.

[@shatakan]

This song goes sooo perfectly with Questionable Content

[@HomebrewMelvin]

Holy shit I may be drunk but these guys just KILLED this song on Jimmy Fallon. Best musical guest EVER.

[@EminentKnight]

I saw your comment and decided to have a listen of Phantogram. Don't Move.

[@Kriskazam]

the songwriter and/or singer tries to put that feeling of sincerity in the music of course

[@inamoratasamazing]

STOKED for the new album coming out.

[@hommeboy]

this go hard

[@sophie7715]

CHALEUR !!! nice music good team

[@majestycrush]

I feel warm and fuzzy

[@AuralLnKiller]

I like the comments that say "Gus brought me here" because Gus brought me here.

[@angeldeadman5392]

This song needs a music video

[@Fanchus]

YES. I always imagine a whole story unfold before my eyes as if I was watching the music video and always want to make it real!

[@demomax94]

Sick song. only like 20 secs in. its aweome!

[@IElrekkaI]

Because I don't necessarily believe there are different kinds of sincerity that differ from person to person, so much so that the only way to objectively analyze it is to meet the person in question.

[@joshdutton4899]

People who like this absolutely have the check out the album Man Alive by Everything Everything!

[@suggsmvp55]

Masterpiece

[@TH3LAST5TAND]

idk who the fuck gus is or what rooster teeth is i just know i love good music/.\

[@LP4ever13]

You are sooo right :D

[@cabasse_music]

nice up mate cheers

[@jonnykaye2050]

love you Sorola

[@phoenyx29]

Props if you made it this much through Barnwell's "Super Bowl prop bets" Grantland article.

[@johnplex706]

Oh I never had just whatever it is you want, baby And I really tried, I tried with all my might-it made me crazy To try to figure out what it is I’ve done wrong every time When everything I love, everything I hold dear Heads out sometime And all I ever say now is good-bye.

[@holyshizzleitsconnor]

Well thanks.

[@CHALINOROSALINOSANCHEZ]

Gus Sorola

[@drdickphd]

Is Gus a fan?

[@CHALINOROSALINOSANCHEZ]

+Kyle Dick - Rooster Teeth Co-Founder Gus Sorola. On one of his podcasts he mentions The Dismemberment. He has very limited tastes but this band is his exclusive favourite.

[@drdickphd]

Savi Guzman Yeah, I already understood who you were talking about. That's awesome, makes me love him even more!

[@redskarerap]

If you like the Dismemberment Plan check out Memphis via Mars. Great lofi record. So unique

[@blindedsun]

@HomebrewMelvin EVER! They put on a real show every time.

[@ChristianMcAdoo]

Thank God this only has 111k views.

[@LP4ever13]

Listening to this and reading questionable content, i swear it's the only way to get rid of loneliness :)

[@IElrekkaI]

I liken Travises vocal style to that of Paul Banks of Interpol. They both have a very understated sense of beauty and a very obvious sense of sincerity to how they sing, which almost sounds like they're just speaking. They both sound like this is what they'd be saying to me if I asked them how there day was. You don't find that kind of "realness," for lack of a better term, in many other vocalists.

[@ymatmband]

This song should have more vies then Friday

[@Cyberchase]

Anyone know how to play this on piano? My band and I want to cover this

[@Cloudshide]

+Cyberchase There's someone doing a solo piano cover of it on youtube which might help.

[@88hunky]

+Cyberchase Dude, if you can't learn it by ear or read music, I'd stick to doing AC/DC covers.

[@oh_slime]

+88hunky that wasn't very nice of you to say

[@blueiceani6833]

+88hunky that's such a stupid pretentious thing to say

[@Astroknot3]

@HomebrewMelvin Yup, that's what brought me here too. I hope someone uploads a video of that soon.

[@jyoats7959]

Does anyone know what type of guitar is used in this song, I love the sound

[@GothicTeaVea]

back when I was 12

[@calehaugen]

my brother just acted in 3 episodes of Portlandia; I'm pretty sure it's still on, yo.

[@ymatmband]

This song should have more views then Friday

[@adamlindholm3999]

Good ol' Gus Fring!

[@madmanproducer]

wow no dislikes, this song is awesome

[@spunkeyproducts]

Ended up seeing them at riot fest not knowing who they were, Im happy I did.

[@georgegibson4596]

Why would he 'see why you left' if the reason she left was because city is dead if the city was dead because she was gone? Late night reading to far into things again

[@TheDirectMessenger88]

george gibson He sees why she left, because theres nothing to do and no one to know. The city's been rather boring and lonely ever since she's left.

[@gfytoby8904]

She’s was the thing keeping the city alive for him perhaps

[@2112iscoming]

One of the best bands ever...check out HUM too

[@Kriskazam]
