Thrice - broken lungs (acoustic)

Thrice acoustic set at OC register
March 28th 2008

[@bigtbake61]

I wish I could write stuff like thrice. In the six months I've been listening to them they've gone from a band that I know of to my favorite.

[@Joshwhelchel35]

We want answers, Screamed from the roofs, We want justice, We want the truth. Sends chills everytime.

[@s3r3a1man]

Thrice seriously needs to release an acoustic album, of old songs and new ones alike.

[@chadpeacock2064]

this post was made 8 yrs ago... still relevant in 2020. Acoustic album should be released for sure.

[@thalockenessmonster]

​@@chadpeacock2064still relevant in 2023 my buddy

[@musicismylife7718]

Whoa he's good live.

[@pazdziorz]

It shows true musicianship to be able to strip down a song like this and still have it resonate so strongly with the audience. These guys are by far my favourite band - thrice

[@loganarowland]

I wish I could get all my music like this, not processed, not tampered with to try and make sound better, but raw, real, and filled with this much emotion.

[@ahtreh]

And still today... I sit and remember the Pictures I've esen on Tv that Day... I sat in Tears with my mom in front of a fucking Tv for hours. Well, my mom is up there with you now. Bet she loves to hear all their storys.

[@okeen5265]

"because, we, want justice.. we, want truth."

[@MrLondonGaylord]

If anyone has any doubts about this song, read the liner notes on the album. Dustin cites a book "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions And Distortions" as something that opened his eyes to the events of the day in an interview as well.

[@filetmignon4446]

Good eye- Keep that mind open

[@25blue24]

Thrice, hands down, best band. EVER.

[@Bondjpd]

they never cease to amaze me

[@BigBird104]

Thank you SO much for posting this set! :D I watch these videos everyday

[@elibol]

This is one of my favorite songs on the album.

[@awakingmercury]

one of the many reasons why they are my favorite band. - Luke of A.M.

[@Speedy00]

epic. I love it.. Thank you for helping me through rough times with your voice Dustin... I love you...

[@countblainer]

They need to release Beggars already. The world can't wait until October. I'm hoping to catch them when they come back to the Bay Area.

[@jaimeadrian18]

this son is probably one of my favorites of the new album!

[@mocharick]

Dustin's voice matches the Gibson's full sound, now that's harmony

[@shookitbrokeit]

i believe it is because they are humbled by the acceptance. and most artists with any kind of talent lack some kind of social skills. its a typical trait.

[@Arik1989]

I was talking about "The Earth Will Shake" on its KZbin page with a guy who insisted it was about some event that happened in the new scripture. I told him almost exactly what you said, it might be their inspiration, but the song can be interpreted in many ways. Some interpretations with more general meaning that anyone can relate to in their own lives. Nice to agree with someone on KZbin for a change :)

[@cerysrcollins1]

This is abolutely beautiful

[@saintrebel]

i'm not religious at all, but that doesn't matter. this band is everything for me.

[@BDKMusick]

@thricefan89 i agree with you. I mean most christian bands have strictly christian listeners, so you're actually probably completely right.

[@Pryraful]

for all the people 12 years ago, we want answers still

[@yunjizzle]

dustin and teppei = a match made in heaven

[@MrUrmother22]

teppi is a christian i go to the same church as him i play guitar in the mars hill church and have played with dustin and teppi.... they may claim a christian band but with there lyrics and meaning behind most of the songs yes they are. any band using bible quotes in lyrics in multiple some is christian.... and dont say if u are a true fan, ive been a fan since the first impressions album, way back at chain reaction where they started before they were famous

[@jmelara324]

Scott Demoss Weird, Teppei said he wasn’t as involved as Dustin.

[@krm5069]

Or..... Is there a hidden political view behind this artist concerning religious & other 'social' beliefs

[@Zatyr]

I have a very hard time trying to understand how you in any way can be dissappointed with a song like this.

[@WeAreAWalkingTragedy]

@BDKMusick ahhhh i agree completely, thats probably one of the smartest most true comments i have ever read about this band!

[@christophermacier]

I had to start watching these videos because they took all of ThriceX3's Videos down :-( I hope they don't take these too. I watch them a few times everyday!

[@brandonbake]

@IcarianxComplex7 amen to that

[@HeMadeACaKe]

@BlackBalverin Thank you

[@cmnr17]

i need an acoustic album from thrice. imagine? dustin kensrue's stuff is nice, but the stuff he plays with thrice is IMO a lot better. dustin, we want an acoustic album!!!

[@lluisse]

I love this band but they never comes to Spain jajajajaja I think that is time !!! kisses. Lluís

[@ghenghistron]

he has an acoustic solo album called "please come home"

[@danhengemihle]

@IcarianxComplex7 straight up dude. but dont thank god, thank thrice, they are who they are

[@gabejcross]

3 dislikes is too many. Thrice is soooo fucking good!

[@Wereallthieves122]

Teppei and dust are gods!

[@sirundying]

@IcarianxComplex7 thrice is on a different level from all the bands i like and inspire me too.

[@slimjim561]

@BDKMusick damn well said.

[@HeMadeACaKe]

i woke up and Chrisened my skyline...

[@TheNatedogg56]

Gibson J 45 It's a pretty expensive model, like in the $2000's, but it's well worth it.

[@DanteValentine16]

@IcarianxComplex7 i know this comment is froma while ago , but its them who brought themselves to the music career ... why thank god ... he neither exist or did anything ......

[@iamLionman]

get the album

[@ericscalibur]

this song is obviously about the 911 cover-up!

[@awakingmercury]

yeah he does. this song is about sept 11 being a conspiracy - Luke of A.M.

[@restate123]

Are we fools and cowards all to let them cover up their lies

[@saintsaybia]

Dang - Dustin's voice sounds the same live as it does on the record.

[@RecordingEurope]

i have to admit that it's one of the only songs from the index with lyrics that don't really move me. love the song, but dustin wrote some soooooo stronger lyrics

[@countblainer]

These guys know how to rock a beard.

[@ryelor]

A third just lined up to get 'em racked.

[@sayanythingrock]

is it me or is this song about 9/11 we all watched the buildings fall the broken lungs, manhattan, the whole truth thing at the end

[@awakingmercury]

Teppi is a Christian also. - Luke of A.M.

[@CottlestonCottleston]

@crazydrummer871 lol exactly the same for me.

[@BDKMusick]

@DavidAMIs I can see that. I hadn't heard major/minor until just recently. It's great freaking music, and a great record. It does seem more preachy, and less subliminal about the quotes and verses, but i still can't just see them as a Christian band. I dislike Christian bands too much to ever admit that Thrice could be one, haha.

[@mailchrisbailey]

I've always thought about these lyrics. Does Dustin believe in a 9/11 conspiracy or does he just mean that we knew but did nothing? Interesting lyrics.

[@AphoticAgony]

why? because it's addictive and goes well with food?

[@BDKMusick]

@derekmyers7 You can be a Christian, and incorporate the feelings and inspiration you get from your beliefs, and not be a Christian band. A Christian band intends to show listeners the glory and grace of God. Their primary message is to spread their faith. Thrice does not intend to convert people, nor do they intend to spread Christian beliefs. They are artists. They use everything around them to create great music. It's the life lesson, not the belief behind it, that they preach.

[@leahgd1]

Is there a version of Thus song that Isent Acoustic??? If so, why cant i find it on youtube?

[@jackntheboks]

loks like it coud be a gibson J45

[@DanteValentine16]

what guitar is that black sunburst guitar .. i mean like the company and modle please msg or reply

[@mitchmulligan7560]

Is it so important to label music. Is it so important to give music a name-tag. I think the only reason music should be name-tagged is to make it easier to reference, instead of everyone saying "that song" or "that band". Stop trying to label music beyond a point of reference. Please. You are not helping anyone. Listen to music. You don't need to call Thrice a label like "Christian band" or "Alternative band with Christian themes". Thrice is FINE being just Thrice. Thrice can easily be referenced by the name "Thrice" when you wish you speak about them. You don't need to reference Thrice as "that christian band" or "that alternative band with Christian themes". Perhaps you seek to label things because you can not accept them for what they are. Perhaps this stems from your own view of yourself. Do you seek to label yourself? Do you not accept yourself as you truly are?

[@ph0kused]

Well said, This isn't meant to be a slight to people who buy Christian Rock, but I think it is a good question for debate. (I Feel) That if a mediocre band labels itself "Christian Rock" and signs with a Christian Rock label, they will immediately get followers - not based on quality of music, but based on quality of worship. Some people may call this 'sheep like behavior' but I disagree. Now if you take a band that has GREAT talent, and they sign with a 'normal' religion-neutral label, and they become big - I think that says more.

[@chadpeacock2064]

maybe an unpopular opinon but if Thrice labelled themselves through christianity.. i may not have 'found them'.. and now i am one of the thousands die hards that exist for anything Thrice, with passion.

[@derekmyers7]

@BDKMusick thats definitely not true...thrice is the most christian secular band around.

[@shleich]

you should win just because you picked a thrice song...

[@thricefan89]

@BDKMusick I think their intentions in effect cause more people to consider Christianity than actual Christian bands.

[@finalrepentance]

@toniaris Teppei is much cooler. He stops bullets with his mad riffs. And then eats them

[@Mr_A1-37]

For your information my friend, about 75 to 80 percent of Thrice lyrics are quoting Scriptures. Specifially Messiah (Jesus a.k.a Yahshua).

[@ricardoesntcare]

@sancho4567 some word I just made up for adepts of islam.

[@kcioffredi]

This song is definitely about 9/11

[@ricardoesntcare]

@DanteValentine16 he thanks god, Thrice thank to whatever they want. I'm pretty sure Dustin thanks god, because he's all religious and devoted. Not that I believe in God, though. Human's religion should be humanity. Humans should be taught humanity instead of christianity or muslimities.

[@derekmyers7]

@BlackBalverin I won't start arguing with you because I'm very hard nosed and tend to win an argument when debating. However, I will leave you with a link to a video. If you can HONESTLY tell me that Thrice isn't a Christian based secular band, then a) you're delirious or b) you will see that Dustin Kensrue has a true heart for God. "Grow up and start to look behind the image, thrice is much more than a dump 'christian-band"-- that's quite nonsensical; Christian bands can easily be MORE amazing!

[@ericscalibur]

i hope everyone realizes this song is about 9-11

[@BDKMusick]

You can quote and incorporate Scripture into your music without being a Christian band. It all has to do with the meaning that they're trying to convey. Thrice isn't a christian band. They probably know more about the bible than most Christians though.

[@Isupporttheirish]

This is about 9/11 not god

[@ghenghistron]

it seems like this song is about 9/11 haha

[@MatthewAyotte]

***** they are a Christian band.

[@benwillms1899]

I believe Dustin is the Christian among them... but a lot of their songs are based on Christian values, and stories/passages from the bible. Christianity is obviously one of Dustin's greatest inspirations.

[@MatthewAyotte]

Ben Willms Yes. Dustin actually has a solo album of worship songs.

[@WertzuHun]

I'm a christian but man seriously who the fuck cares?! Why do you say it?! For what?! What does it matter?! Last year I have met with Dustin after the London gig and we have agreed on the fact the christian music sucks... Thrice is not a christian band so fuck off man!

[@TheFernando7777777]

Thrice seriously needs to release an acoustic album, of old songs and new ones alike
