Built To Spill - Else Lyrics






Finally I don't mind
Worthless tries at finding something else
Best not talk too loud
You're not as smart as you require of them

Your body breaks
Your needs consume you forever
And with this lies
The need to be here together

Funny thing with blood
You try to stand but neither leg's awake
Just this side of love
Is where you'll find the confidence not to continue

Your body breaks
Your needs consume you forever
And with this lies
The need to be here together

    Großartiger Song. Er wächst, und wächst und offenbart sich am Ende

  8. S.... ....

    Wow, all these times listening to this song and ive never really noticed how amazing the outro is in this song

  9. J.... ....

    This song ought to be on Perfect From Now On because it really is perfect...

  10. O.... O....

    This is what falling in love feels like.

    O.... O....

    Well said, friend. 👍

  11. F.... C....

    Recuerdos de la soledad, caminando por la calle humeda escuchando BTS agradecido de tener un viaje largo para llegar a casa.

  12. N.... N....

    Beautiful and touching.. Doug’s guitars are so moody as they soar and float. the interplay between the bass and drums is perfect. One of the best bands ever ❤️

  13. B.... P....

    Finally I don't mind , worthless tries at finding something else

  14. C.... F....

    classic.

  15. F.... ....

    I only hear of this band, 5 minutes before I listened to this, thanks to Songpop. Good sound, interesting band name... I like it!

  16. H.... M....

    I wouldn't be surprised if this song was featured in a nihilistic Rick & Morty episode, and knowledge of this song spiked as a result.

  17. p.... r....

    Released February 2 1999

  18. p.... ....

    First time hear This song Was back in2005 the year i discovrrd This álbum never tíred of listening to it and i always come back to it regardless of the mood or state of mind i find myseof in ,i

  19. S.... L....

    สุดยอดครับ ฟังแล้วมีความสุข น้ำตาจะไหลไม่เข้าใจเหมือนกัน คิดถึงพ่อถึงแม่ ถึงความหลังตอนเป็นเด็ก

  20. M.... H....

    cracked podcast brought me here

  21. R.... N....

    This song reminds me that searching really hard for a deeper meaning of life is pointless. Best to skip the existential crisis and just listen to that wavy wobbly guitar/love the stuff you love. Your body breaks, your needs consume you forever.

    R.... N....

    Robin Noronha please research the flat Earth!

  22. m.... m....

    that bass line!

  23. S.... L....

    sending music to your loved one is the purest thing

    S.... S....

    sent to my gf and she told me to fuck off

    S.... S....

    Vladimir Komarov B dude that’s hilarious

    S.... S....

    ahhh isn't it tho <3

    S.... S....

    @Isabella Oliveira the dissolution of love can ruin anything, though. you've got to try to be brave enough to keep putting your heart out there and not let the hurt ruin you. same goes for songs you love, being as they are extensions of your deepest feelings, no? maybe that's the biggest battle, not letting things scar over, songs or anything.

    S.... S....

    I introduced my girlfriend into Built to Spill and she immediately fell in love with them.
    Now we're not together anymore and it's so sad, but next week we'll see them playing live. Together, yes.
    And, after all, I know their music will always be there for me. And I can't ask for anything better.

  25. S.... S....

    i love this so much

  26. a.... l....

    Jimi Hendrix is from seattle.ok

  27. a.... l....

    The best band ever ,in opinion from the north west,except jimmy, but that's a given.

    a.... l....

    Quasi is pretty great. Sam Coomes plays on this album.

  33. T.... ....

    Amazing

  34. j.... b....

    love this song

  35. A.... H....

    A beautiful Boise jam!

  36. I.... m....

    This is one of the best bands of the grunge movement. They were very underestimated

    I.... m....

    +Impala music >grunge

    I.... m....

    and still are since they're still around

    I.... m....

    Where the fuck would you get BTS was part of the grunge movement?

    I.... m....

    They weren't part of the grunge movement but they were sometimes lumped in with those bands because they were from the Northwest and gained traction in the mid 90s.

  37. C.... H....

    BTS is my Jam Band

  38. O.... E....

    One can finds gems in the most unlikely places - even Boise, Idaho.  ;)

    O.... E....

    Idaho is the Gem State

  39. D.... F....

    I love band so much. This song is perfect.

  40. R.... B....

    were in a bit of a pickle here.... our van is on top of a..Truck - louie b.

  41. M.... G....

    heart butter

  42. K.... T....

    素敵な曲です。悲哀が心にしみ込み少したって優しい気持ちになるんよ。バンドっていいよね、やっぱり。

  43. l.... ....

    This song makes me feel things

  44. C.... L....

    I melt every time.

    C.... L....

    Me too. I love this awesome song so much.

  45. r.... s....

    Bts is having a concert on the 22 of October!!!

  46. A.... L....

    i've been obsessed with built to spill for the past year and while there's nothing wrong with love is my favorite album, keep it like a secret is probably my second. i remember buying this album and on my way back home from school on a cloudy day, this song came on. immediately listened to it five more times. doug is a genius. any bts fan should really check out his solo album. "window" is one of the best song he's ever done.

    A.... L....

    Perfect From Now On....no contest....top 5 album of all time...ALL TIME. These guys are really something else..

  47. B.... B....

    the BEST

  48. j.... ....

    This song turns cats gay.

  49. d.... ....

    i remember trying to drown my thoughts while falling asleep and this came on and the feeling of cosmic harmony that rushed through me and then i put it in my playlist VUKYS PLAYLIST

  50. S.... S....

    How about the greatest 4:09 in the world?

  51. T.... ....

    You could at least research the music before you pretend to like it more than everybody else. This song was released in 1999.

  52. T.... ....

    And I DID just that 18 years ago!!!

  53. j.... s....

    yup. tell me its not represented beautifully though.

  54. T.... P....

    this song sounds so sad

  55. v.... ....

    Nah, just a guy who doesn't care + good music choice

  56. T.... ....

    Right on man. BtS rules.

  57. r.... s....

    This song reminds me of Romeo and Juliet

  58. C.... H....

    My favorite Built to Spill song which is saying a lot because pretty much every song they've made is exceptional

  59. l.... ....

    Built to spill - The Wait

  60. S.... C....

    The fact you just said that kind of makes you a poser man. A poser with good music choice lol

  61. T.... ....

    Heh, I went to a Built to Spill show with my (now ex) girlfriend back in 2010. They played this and I sang along, as well as to a few others I knew by heart. I got weird looks from her and her sister/sister's boyfriend all night. Bunch of poser hipsters. ;)

  62. T.... ....

    you try to stand but neither leg's awake

  63. M.... M....

    search for something "else"
    and found this surprise; life :)

  64. J.... W....

    True story. In Denton, TX I got smashed. Had tickets "back stage", found my drunk ass sitting on stage while confetti shot up in the air. ... One of the great moments in life, and the beauty of the moment still stands out even with the inebriation. :) ... Great contribution to culture. We're always grateful for what was shared.

    J.... W....

    Jason Waite Lord knows I’ve spent many a night in Denton Texas drunk listening to live music at Ricks Place, Cool Beans etc.... What venue did they play at?

  65. I.... S....

    It took me 6 years to find this song

  66. S.... ....

    Autolux totally copped these guys.

  67. M.... R....

    Awesome song. They really put it all into their music.

  68. R.... P....

    god damn do i love this song

  69. R.... C....

    Counterculture would be another title for this song :)

  70. j.... t....

    just saw them live...they played this...it was amazing

  71. T.... ....

    @odetotheminorchord Time to join the club. Light up.

  72. M.... E....

    I never once listened to them while stoned.Even then, it sounds absolutely miraculous.

  73. J.... B....

    @Raijinvince well sometimes it seems that way..your totally right though, to each their own.

  74. R.... ....

    @crookedrain771 I don't think anyone's claiming a universal truth that songs are only good when high, just that it makes it better for them. To each their own.

  75. G.... ....

    i havent heard these songs in forever and i feel reaquainted.

  76. J.... B....

    @crookedrain771 good*

  77. J.... B....

    its funny hearing people talk about weed when listening to b2s, I heard this for the first time with no pot about ten years ago, got on pot a couple years later...my experience with this song was so much more real and dreamy when i didnt smoke herb, seriously cant stand those who think they have to smoke pot to listen to goo music

  78. M.... S....

    I heard this song and suddenly everything made perfect sense.

  79. F.... ....

    Listen to Built to Spill song i havent heard yet -> find new favorite song

  80. d.... ....

    @uioxk yeah built to spill is pretty awesome, id recommend Carry the Zero, and Timetrap

  81. K.... ....

    DEZ!!! <3

  82. C.... ....

    @cheesecake134 @hmmsmellslikefish
    With all those thumb ups I'd say you guys are hitching for a ride! That being said, this song would turn any bad hitchhiker good. I wonder if the girl on the cover is half butterfly? :S

  83. C.... C....

    seen bts in 1997 didnt know what any of the band looked like doug the lead singer was amonst the crowd he started talking about heatmiser i believe or mabey some other local band , anyway really interesting convertation. later he took the stage opening with something from nothing wrong with love i was pissed that i blew the oppurtunity to at least thank him for 4ever changing my view on what is relevant and right with music and the world well thanx doug 14 years later u guys r the truth

  84. B.... C....

    @uioxk
    The song You Are on Ancient Melodies of the Future is in the same vein, in my view. The hypnotic layers of texture and atmosphere are transendent.

  85. B.... C....

    @cheesecake134
    I was going to post a comment and saw that you said it already! It's true... the end of this song crescendos to the sublime.

  86. m.... ....

    another all time favorite song

  87. j.... ....

    @AWonderVenus Well... Fuck Toby Keith.

  88. z.... ....

    @uioxk Man get the album. It's all perfect. I surf more on "Keep It Like A Secret" and "Perfect From Now On" albums

  89. C.... M....

    @uioxk

    YES!

  90. D.... W....

    Just the greatest song in the universe.

  91. a.... ....

    excellence, this song is.

  92. T.... ....

    i wish when people said "or else" they meant "or else i play this song"

  93. A.... ....

    Hey!!! Toby Keith is ripping this song off!!! Listen to his crap “Made In America!"

  94. C.... ....

    @cheesecake134
    Thank you for saying exactly what I came here to say. Just, this song will never lose it's lust.

  95. f.... ....

    Built to thrill. Everytime.

  96. G.... ....

    no song makes me happier than this number :)

  97. c.... ....

    @cheesecake134
    Totally agree. Always thought this would be a perfect song for a movie's end credits. Doug Martsch is a brilliant guitarist.

  98. r.... ....

    easily my favorite song i prefer nothing else

  99. r.... ....

    best guitar riffs
