Omg you like La Dispute and Brand New let's be best friends. But to be honest as great as it is, this is not my favorite on the album. My favorites are probably Stay Happy There, Hudsonville, MI 1956, or Woman (Reading). I can't pick just one.
BeverlyDoesStuff haha, welcome to the world of late 2000s punk-alt. I rly enjoy stay happy there too, I think I just feel a stronger connection to this one
It's taken like four years for me to finally understand that this is all metaphorical. Evert song loosely follows a narrative about a failed relationship, relating it back to objects and rooms in a house (hence the name) I had a vague sense it was, but I could never connect the dots on my own. The first song, the storm, is the onset of trouble in a relationship. This song is literally "their relationship is on thin ice". I mean, for fuck sake, they're even moving opposite directions on THIN ICE. Just listen to this album with this theme in mind. 35, while not my favorite is the point where this fictional relationship literally collapses and falls apart. Notice the lyrical content in every song afterwards - usually about understanding, regret, pain, and then eventually catharsis and healing. Fucking brilliant.
I think your take on it is spot on, but I also think that the name of the album "Rooms of the House" and the several comparisons of a house and its rooms represent the narrator's relationship and the memories he feels when he looks into these rooms. In this song, it talks in the verses about his relationship and how he views the small things he sees as flaws ( his long hair, hairless face, lack of education/career choice) the same as the small fixer-up problems the house has. It could also represent how small problems (small house damages/small cracks on ice) can eventually pile on to the point where, like his relationship, everything collapses (ceiling collapsing/ falling through ice). But I could be totally wrong lol
this will probably end up sounding not the way I intended, but last year I was so depressed. the only bands I would listen to were la dispute and modest mouse. now when I listen to this type of music instead of getting nostalgia, and getting memories of bad times, I instead feel so calm. I struggle really bad with anxiety, and it's nice that now I can listen to la dispute and just feel super calm,, which is weird considering it's post hard core but nonetheless it does, and so I just wanted to say thank you
Why do I feel strange for loving this, the vibe makes me feel old.. Like I'm lost in the 90s , like a freak it bothers me that I love this music I feel so back in time and like a odd ball but now I see that I'm not the only one and if I was I wouldn't care anymore I am who I am I love what I love and my feelings are mine and I can't stop listing because I can only relate to true poetry and I can't change it.
omfgggg i missed u guys so much why do u have such a discernable recognizable and goddamn euphoric sound. the voice. the guitars. every fucking thing. Cant wait to have my face meldted by you guys in Tampa in March you guys saved my life with You and I in Unison thank u forever
I've listened to this song over and over again. I just love how the whole falling through ice thing is a metaphor for a break-up. The more you think about the lyrics the more ways you see to look at them...
Don't procrastinate. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Do the things you want to do now. Say the things you want to say now. Don't wait or you might not get a chance.
Technically the snare hits three times and the high hat hits 5 so it would be a 3/5 you don’t count ghost strokes. They themselves count as a singular note it’s a 3 snare hit 5 high hat hit. So 3/5 is it actually. But that’s not even a thing either there’s no such thing as number slash number in music. It has never been written actually
@@TriddyIPPY i don't remember enough about my classical music training to explain _why,_ but you're wrong, respectfully, lol. 5/4 is an incredibly real and i would say well-known time signature-to the point where there's more than one song that cheekily references the fact that the song is in 5/4 in the title, '5/4' by Gorillaz and 'Take Five' by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. i trust my own (and Anders, the original poster)'s judgement on determining this song 5/4, but there's also an app that you can input songs to find time signature, BPM and key-and it also says this song is 5/4.
@DadofBigDogs 4REAL when people say something like 5/4 they're referring to the time signature. The 5 is how many beats per measure and the 4 is the note that determines the pulse (4 = quarter note, 8 = eighth note, etc). You'd usually count 5/4 as 3 + 2 or 2 + 3 beats depending on where the strong pulses fall, but yeah it's definitely a real thing that makes sense
This is possibly the 30th time listening to this song, ever since I discovered La Dispute 4 months ago its been wild, its sad , calming, joyful how this song makes me feel. 2 years ago I was in a bad place mentally and this song reminds me of that time, im doing better now. This song is brings so much emotions, its calming and there is hope. I love this song and band so much! Such an amazing band as well as Touche Amore.
All the sympathetic anxiety of a water level where your character is holding their breath in a video game. And also full of genuinely beautiful and relatable emotion. Love this song, my favorite album ever
Favorite song so far, though Im sure that will change. I really cant say enough about how much respect I have for this album. You may get fleck for it, but its a masterpiece, great job.
I almost hate how much this song, and album as a whole, hits home so much more after experiencing it first hand. I never clearly understood the words until my multiple year relationship and the house we lived in was themed around this concept in a way. Only to end recently after both of us trying to stay afloat with our separate issues as well as combined ones. Listening to this makes me almost here the words for myself, realizing I'm the one bearing the ice and breaking through it, only wanted to survive to make sure my once love and still friend is okay, and maybe selfish later to hear if she's still thinking of me...
"Standing there naked checking to see if my phone still works" very accurate. I had a similiar experience where I got all my clothes wet with an hour's tough walk home. The first thing I did was check my phone.
"Don't panic I can hear you saying as I fell through. Blackness complete down waiting til my feet touch ground - at the bottom they finally did. First reaction was this is it." These are probably the most haunting lyrics I've ever heard.
This song is about a break up that hit him pretty bad, how he felt, and the things he could have done to fix it. "had i cut my hair short? had i grown my beard out long?"
+Shiloh Mangus thats the beautiful thing about music though, you can interpret it anyway you want, once you look past the words you'll find meaning :) hopefully you know what im talking about, if not i would suggest trying to listen to different music

+Shiloh Mangus I think he's using the literal story of him falling through ice as a metaphor. There's obviously more depth to a La Dispute song than just talking about an interesting story
+ThatOverkillGamer I'm pretty sure it's just about falling through ice and thinking of his regrets. Just climbing out with new resolve not wanting to have those same regrets again.

This is the most important album I've heard in years.
This is probably my favourite song from the album, to be honest.

Let's start a petition for a la dispute and brand new tour
I FREAKING LOVE BRAND NEW ND LA DISPUTE, THEY RE THE ELLIOTT SMITH 4 ME
This and "Woman (Reading)" are my favorites from the album so far. "For Mayor in Splitsville" is up there too.

i think we all had a vague sense of it, but u explained it very well, would love to hear more of your thoughts

ice age heat wave _ Yeah la dispute is such a powerful band... life changing XD
ice age heat wave
I definitely understand yeah, I used to have pretty bad sleeping problems and wierdly this song really helped me sleep
You can search their discography and find a song that exactly matches the way you feel right now. Even the tune somehow matches how you feel inside.
How could he leave us with that cliff hanger on whether or not his phone ends up working or not?!
Agreed!!
weird finding you here, instead of on sourcefed comments
***** I also listen to music hahah
well yea, haha. But i just scrolled down and was like...whoa. Anyway, good to know you like dope music haha
***** Listening to Wildlife on vinyl now actually hahah
Why do I feel strange for loving this, the vibe makes me feel old.. Like I'm lost in the 90s , like a freak it bothers me that I love this music I feel so back in time and like a odd ball but now I see that I'm not the only one and if I was I wouldn't care anymore I am who I am I love what I love and my feelings are mine and I can't stop listing because I can only relate to true poetry and I can't change it.
This is one of the best gems in their discography. It's a perfectly crafted song. Thank you so much for your amazing music :)
I fully agree. The chord progression is magic.
omfgggg i missed u guys so much why do u have such a discernable recognizable and goddamn euphoric sound. the voice. the guitars. every fucking thing. Cant wait to have my face meldted by you guys in Tampa in March you guys saved my life with You and I in Unison thank u forever

This song is so relevant. Sometimes it is just late and you can't save your realtionship
Don't procrastinate. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Do the things you want to do now. Say the things you want to say now. Don't wait or you might not get a chance.
The fact that they can play a song in 5/4 so flawlessly that even a musician like me didn't recognize after a while is crazy!
Explain 5/4 I’m a drummer and never heard of a 5/4 timing in my life
I’ve looked it up literally everywhere there’s no such thing as 5/4 anything
Technically the snare hits three times and the high hat hits 5 so it would be a 3/5 you don’t count ghost strokes. They themselves count as a singular note it’s a 3 snare hit 5 high hat hit. So 3/5 is it actually. But that’s not even a thing either there’s no such thing as number slash number in music. It has never been written actually

Repeating this song over and over and over again.
Lautaro Mijalovsky Same here, after many years. :)
Yep...still
My favorite song from this album.
Those 4 chords at 1:55 hit me real hard for some reason.
Song plays over and over again in my mind. Thank you for making this clear for me
All the sympathetic anxiety of a water level where your character is holding their breath in a video game. And also full of genuinely beautiful and relatable emotion. Love this song, my favorite album ever
I like that he inserts the basic reaction to save the phone.
Favorite song so far, though Im sure that will change. I really cant say enough about how much respect I have for this album. You may get fleck for it, but its a masterpiece, great job.
How the hell did I sleep on these guys? This is phenomenal
I almost hate how much this song, and album as a whole, hits home so much more after experiencing it first hand.

The lyrics are so damn real, it's like everything's happening right in front of my eyes
Because i wanted to tell you, because i thought you should know
God this bands is SOOO great
I just realized the time signature: either 5/8 or 3/4 + 2/4
"Standing there naked checking to see if my phone still works"
very accurate. I had a similiar experience where I got all my clothes wet with an hour's tough walk home. The first thing I did was check my phone.
I Still Love You Kaelin.
Love this jam!
5/4 is awesome
Connor Ross right?!
i didnt noticed ahahahah
So fantastic.
This is beautiful.
Thought my fire alarm was going off at 00:15 hah
This was my favorite song when I got into my relationship 7 years ago. After everything how it ended this song hurts but it's so true.
"Don't panic I can hear you saying as I fell through. Blackness complete down waiting til my feet touch ground - at the bottom they finally did. First reaction was this is it." These are probably the most haunting lyrics I've ever heard.
This song is about a break up that hit him pretty bad, how he felt, and the things he could have done to fix it.
"had i cut my hair short?
had i grown my beard out long?"
Now I think I know the reason it hits me so badly every time I listen. Thank you.

I have finally found happiness
this song or objects in space. it's a difficult choice.
If you guys like these lyrics you should go read Natasha Trethewey. She has some poetry that reminds me of this particular album. Great stuff!
