HOLY SHIT WILL IS SO META replacing the line 'all the best lines get replaced' on the digital version and those harmonies oh my god why did will take them out
i feel like csh and esp this song does an awesome job putting moments, emotions, and feelings that we cant name into songs. so personally, thats why this band holds such a deep pocket in my heart bc it really captures these emotions that i cant word. this song is it for me
As if on cue They lit a firework The sky reeled back And I ran fast To get to you I think you knew Before the war began What loving to run towards something Can do to a man Fall over the edge Learn to live while falling Every life is a path worth following When you put it in words It's comfortingly bland There's so little left To understand When we're strung up, hanging From the knots we've allowed We call up our angels To cut us down "If you could be proud Of anything you've done What would it be?" Then they disappear And we are up in the clouds I feel the tension shock Right through my body I am wide awake Shake a laugh from me I thought one day I thought I'd find a hole In my own backyard, I'd never seen before Follow it down Underneath that fence Come back up on the other side Live another life Break down the door, it's yours for the taking I held it back until you stopped asking My eyes are blurred, the clock is ticking I'm coming up short in a life worth nothing I hear women in my head (Coming up short) With ordinary names (In a life worth nothing) That ring like magic (I'm coming up short) Through some malfunction in my brain (In a life worth nothing) Your hands were warm Though you came in from the cold I took one and held it And suddenly started to shake Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake I feel the tension shock right Through my body, I am wide awake Shake a laugh from me I feel the tension shock right Through my body, I am wide awake Shake a laugh from me All the best lines get replaced I sold you short to fill the empty space I'm sorry Mend the fence with the best of grace It's pleasantries to the bottom of the page I'm sorry
Perhaps a bit much for a youtube comment but we ball regardless tbh. I'm not "into" CSH as I am a lit of other bands. I first listened to Twin Fantasy when I was about 14 and enjoyed it but so far have not taken the time to really explore their discography. When I was 15 I got a phonecall from my then girlfriend who was in tears explaining that she had just tried to take her own life. As far as I know she's doing much better now but I don't think that would be an easy call to receive at any age let alone 15. I did what I thought to do at the time, told her things would be ok etc. She ended by saying she needed some space and as I just kinda sat there not knowing what to do, this song for some reason came to mind. I'd seen it on some list of "saddest songs" or whatever but hadn't actually listened to it. I heard the digital version and it became the soundtrack to what would turn out to be quite a rough couple of months. For a while after that I struggled listening to the song, just because it reminded me of how I felt when I first heard it. But earlier today, by chance, I heard this vinyl version. It was like finding a new perspective. Not exactly profound or anything but still, I for some reason thought it was worth sharing, maybe even just to prove to myself it happened at all. Cheers x
My favourite thing about buying this album and made it all worth it (kinda annoyed that the CD is a cardboard sleeve the store I ordered it from bent up 🙃I’ve seen folk music CD’s at the Mexican grocery store with more effort put in ahhh I digress …) was the coupon that gave access to all the versions of the album. ❤️

What is esp?
@@cjscarff6453 “especially”
love the harmonies at the end (kinda like how they're a little easter egg that didn't make it on to the digital mix!!)
Joe Waters right im so jealous i have to come here to hear it
the harmonies and synth in this are so beautiful i might like it better than the digital version
im just remembering now that way before i got into csh i used to listen to just this song on repeat a bunch
Reminds me of early Twenty One Pilots (Regional at Best) stuff, the high pitched beeps and electronics and drums. I dig it.
True man...
except good
As if on cue
They lit a firework
The sky reeled back
And I ran fast
To get to you
I think you knew
Before the war began
What loving to run towards something
Can do to a man
Fall over the edge
Learn to live while falling
Every life is a path worth following
When you put it in words
It's comfortingly bland
There's so little left
To understand
When we're strung up, hanging
From the knots we've allowed
We call up our angels
To cut us down
"If you could be proud
Of anything you've done
What would it be?"
Then they disappear
And we are up in the clouds
I feel the tension shock
Right through my body
I am wide awake
Shake a laugh from me
I thought one day
I thought I'd find a hole
In my own backyard, I'd never seen before
Follow it down
Underneath that fence
Come back up on the other side
Live another life
Break down the door, it's yours for the taking
I held it back until you stopped asking
My eyes are blurred, the clock is ticking
I'm coming up short in a life worth nothing
I hear women in my head (Coming up short)
With ordinary names (In a life worth nothing)
That ring like magic (I'm coming up short)
Through some malfunction in my brain (In a life worth nothing)
Your hands were warm
Though you came in from the cold
I took one and held it
And suddenly started to shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
Shake
I feel the tension shock right
Through my body, I am wide awake
Shake a laugh from me
I feel the tension shock right
Through my body, I am wide awake
Shake a laugh from me
All the best lines get replaced
I sold you short to fill the empty space
I'm sorry
Mend the fence with the best of grace
It's pleasantries to the bottom of the page
I'm sorry
this is it
I feel like the pitch changes at the end really add to the song’s message; wish this was on the digital as well :|

He fucked up not making this the version everywhere
I was looking at it so much I thought I was saying what I was seeing but I was really only looking at it

i genuinely got teary eyed
nice, so this one has different lyrics than the normal one
God I wish will put deadlines thoughtful on the album
