All of Vol 1 and volume 2 tell a story. Best to listen start to finish. I feel like the video/song "How we end up alone" Is the whole story wrapped up in one. My absolute favorite band... there's so much depth and emotion in every song. Thanks for the reaction!
I subscribed because you are the only reaction channel paying attention to HURT. Super underrated band, please do more 🙏, vol 1 and vol 2 are amazing albums.. Rapture should be your next reaction (non edited version). Thank you guys so much, 💙 from New Zealand
Haven't taken the time to listen to this song in quite some time. Not becuase i don't absolutely love it, but because it's so haunting, so emotional, that i have to be in a place where I'm not busy and can pay attention and really feel the song, because it honestly makes me cry. The lyrics, the performance... i don't know what else to say. It's an experience.
Agreed that this song would be great in a movie or tv show. Seems like the outro for some dark FX drama, where there’s clips of multiple storylines, with people fighting, crying alone, leaving each other, and at the end of it someone dies.
I take this not so much as a song about honoring a marriage and longing for somebody in that marriage, but a relationship that turned sour and she ultimately dies. I believe this is a part 2 to Rapture by them, or at least that is how I see it. Hence the "if you're not breathing why am I? With a sad and lonely comfort of the hollow in your eyes" and the "your face I'll never see no more" lines. The "house carpenter" I believe is referential to Jesus (again, a reference back to Rapture) and she is "with" the House Carpenter in that she is dead.
No, it's about a poem. A literal house carpenter. But the poem is different from this version. In the poem, the woman leaves her carpenter and her child behind to be with a rich man. This song is from the perspective of the rich man.
If you want a similar style of song, I would highly recommend Alone with the Sea by Hurt. Also, the songs that others mentioned are also fantastic choices; Overdose, Falls Apart, and my personal favourite song, Got Jealous.
Nice to see more people reacting to this. If you guys are still checking the comments of this one, consider that the "house carpenter" may also refer to Jesus Christ.
This song is about a woman devoting her life to Christ over him. He would give her everything, but the carpenter has her heart, and he will never have the love he gives to her. The last seconds of the song is her lying to him and he knows it
Very melodic song, intreging variation in calmness and emotional vocal parts, would Johnny Cash R.I.P. have been proud if he could have listened to this band carrying the name of his last performed song ?
If you listen to rapture before this one and put 2 and 2 together it seems that Christ is the house carpenter and she took her own life to be with Christ instead of him
Check out the video where it's placed against the "Invention of Love" movie. And anyone who can name a better band that is as, or more, unknown, or less recognized? Will win a prize... Can't.
Jesus is the House Carpenter. This is J's take on the old christian folksong "House Carpenter". I have a video of him singing his version and then the original version. Hes amazing
You should do review of Scarlings “ When love becomes a ghost “ especially if you pair with the lead singers previous bands song Vivica ( Jack off Jill)
First off I'm not religious, but what it Jesus it the house carpenter, and the eyes he keeps looking in is a terminial ill person. or in my case pet. Yes I used this song to grieve a dog.
It is. A central theme of the song is the narrator (the vocalist) being in love with a woman who takes religion to a very unstable level, almost like a cult. It gets darker on other songs. Check out the album version of ‘rapture’ by them.
Also, yeah. I’ve used it too grieve a dog as well. I can talk about friends who passed about a year or so after it happens but I still can’t talk about my first dog without crying, 6 years later. They are truly their own brand of family!

I agree, I seen them live back in the late 2000's and they killed it live.
Volume 1 is in my top 5 albums of all time, a shame so many people missed out on these guys
Thanks for doing this song! Absolutely a favourite! Overdose is another intense song of theirs. Do that one too!
Overdose is my story... 😭
Extremely underrated Band!! "Pills" is my favorite song by them.
One of the most incredible songs. 💖 Loved to see your reaction. 🥰
My best description of their songs are hauntingly beautiful
thank you for bringing this song to new generation...

Love you guys both your band and your reactions are so badass ❤️
Hurt is my favorite band thanks for featuring them maybe falls apart next time
Such an underrated band idk if it’s the label but they have the whole package…lyrics instrumental vocals are insane just not “mainstream”
Agreed that this song would be great in a movie or tv show. Seems like the outro for some dark FX drama, where there’s clips of multiple storylines, with people fighting, crying alone, leaving each other, and at the end of it someone dies.
This song in a movie would depict doom and despair. No getting her back. No seeing her again. No happy ending.
Great reaction, one of the most slept on bands! You should do "Got Jealous" by these guys

I also interpret it this way
Hurt was so underrated so is this channel..
Do some more hurt tracks there so many great ones ! Awesome band and love the fact u guys featured them.
I always felt this song was about a man who fell in love with a woman who devoted herself to God and became a nun.
No, it's about a poem. A literal house carpenter. But the poem is different from this version. In the poem, the woman leaves her carpenter and her child behind to be with a rich man.

Alone with the sea is a awesome song

awesome reaction to an awesome fucking band.
Jesus is the "house carpenter" no joke. Hurt is absolutely amazing, but even moreso when you recognize the prevalent anti religious message
Very melodic song, intreging variation in calmness and emotional vocal parts, would Johnny Cash R.I.P. have been proud if he could have listened to this band carrying the name of his last performed song ?
I can sing that song.. and sound very close to him when singing it
A Great reaction of an awesome song...maybe You should listen to Alone with the sea from hurt.
Good job!!
Alone With the Sea and Overdose are my absolute favorites. I would love to see someone doing a reaction video to either of those.
@@s.ann.m overdose is amazing. I Would add 'Et al' and 'adonai' in a hurt reaction list.
If you listen to rapture before this one and put 2 and 2 together it seems that Christ is the house carpenter and she took her own life to be with Christ instead of him
Check out the video where it's placed against the "Invention of Love" movie.
And anyone who can name a better band that is as, or more, unknown, or less recognized? Will win a prize...
Can't.
Jesus is the House Carpenter. This is J's take on the old christian folksong "House Carpenter". I have a video of him singing his version and then the original version. Hes amazing
Oh man, this song makes me bawl! I interpret the house carpenter to be Jesus and the person who is in love with the house carpenter is religious
Got jealous by hurt
Jesus was a house carpenter...."if you're not breathing why am I"
You should react to “summers lost” by Hurt.
You should do review of Scarlings “ When love becomes a ghost “ especially if you pair with the lead singers previous bands song Vivica ( Jack off Jill)
It's Christ you silly goose.
