La Dispute - Nine Lyrics
I recall once on the church steps
When I moved to kiss your chest
How we paid such close attention
To each sweet and stuttered breath
I should've stopped to paint our picture
Just to document the difference between attraction and connection
I can see all of my friends and
I break into empty buildings
When the coast was clear
With backpacks full of beer
We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops
At this city-it looked endless
Guess I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence
With all these stranger boys and girls
"We'll change the world!" We sang
"We'll change the world!" But
Nothing seems to change and
They say none of them will listen
But I still see much more power in that basement than in heartless politicians
And if we get beaten by this winter
If we get strangled by regret, just
Let our love of life and tension
Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and
Have them lay us in a basement
Smash some bottles on the ground, and
Say we couldn't tell the difference between the feeling and the sound
Remember not our faulty pieces
Remember not our rusted parts
It's not the petty imperfections that define us but
The way we hold our hearts
And the way we hold our heads
I hope they write your names beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead
And when we are dead let our voices carry on
To find a better song
To find a better song and sing along

La Dispute Nine Comments
proud to have lyrics from this beautiful song tattooed on my chest ❤
kind of like a mellow hobo johnson i dig it
Here in 2019
If you're reading this then I want you to know I love you. You're doing so well and I'm proud to call you my fellow human, no matter who you are or where you're from, your constant support and gratitude of the things you love keeps the flame of hope inside us all alive.
Why is he afraid to sing
literally moves me to tears every. time.
from the instruments, the emotion in jordan's voice, to the lyrics... It just squeezes my heart with its beauty every single time. so beautiful.
hello
I'm here again
just wanted to say I genuinely think this is one of my favourite songs... ever.
Some hippie chick said this is her favorite band so I came to check it out.
Hippie chicks apparently have awful taste, no amount of acid would make this noise worth listening to. Takes two minutes of this talentless slow drivel for the song to kick in, if you could even call it a kick in, doesn't get much better at the two minute mark. And the mumbling vocals...ugh, if you can't sing, rap, scream, do something with your voice besides just barely talk....don't become a fucking vocalist.
I listened to the whole song and there's no redeeming value except that it might help me fall asleep.
I listen to a lot of emo bands, but it just feels wrong to call La Dispute emo. They are actually so musical and so talented. I love the instruments and the sounds just as much as I love the vocals. I've been listening to La Dispute for over 10 years now and yet my favorite album is Rooms of the House. Masterpiece.
This is way better than the version on Spotify.
Love you.
اخخخخ
Is there a full recording of this session for purchase?
Would love to have a copy of it.
I love you La Dispute !
A fan from France
si tu met un espace ça fait la dis pute !!!!!!!!!! ahahah x)
fuking love guys
this is still one of the most beautiful things that exists on this planet
is there anyway to watch this full performance?
why nothing 1 M views, this awesome
🎶🌟🎶
I have "its not the petty imperfections that define us" tattooed on my leg, got it about 5 years ago.
Have "always is valueless" on my arm, got that 7 years ago.
well done dudes, instead of being good like bands like thursday who are good, or even bands like mewithoutyou who are good, you were good, and a good band, like them, but just like you instead
I don't think there is a vocal style I hate more than this.
Is this meant to be serious? Lol
I'm so glad i found this
Lyrics adapted to this version:
I recall once on the church steps
When I moved to kiss your chest
How we paid such close attention
To each sweet and stuttered breath
I should've stopped to paint our picture
Captured honest pure affection
Just to document the difference between attraction and connection
I can see all of my friends and
I break into empty buildings
When the coast was clear
Backpacks full of beer
We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops
At this city-it looked endless
Guess I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence
And I remember in a basement sharing sweat
With all these stranger boys and girls
"We'll change the world!" We sang
"We'll change the world!"
But nothing seems to change and
They say none of them will listen
But I still see much more power in that basement than in useless politicians
If we get beaten by this winter
If we get strangled by regret
Just let our love of life and tension
Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths
Have them throw us in a basement
Smash some bottles on the ground
And say we never knew the difference between the feeling and the sound
Remember not our faulty pieces
Remember not our rusted parts
It's not the petty imperfections that define us but
But the way we hold our hearts
And the way we hold our heads
I hope they write your name beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead
And when we are dead let our voices carry on
To find a better song
To find a better song and sing along, and sing along, and sing along...
Is that you, Louis Seleb?
Hobo johnson brought me here.
I love this song so much
This is my first time hearing this band
I recall once on the church steps
When I moved to kiss your chest
How we paid such close attention
To each sweet and stuttered breath
I should've stopped to paint our picture
Captured honest pure affection
Just to document the difference between attraction and connection
I can see all of my friends and
I break into empty buildings
When the coast was clear
With backpacks full of beer
We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops
At this city-it looked endless
Guess I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence
And I remember in a basement sharing sweat
With all these stranger boys and girls
"We'll change the world!" We sang
"We'll change the world!" But
Nothing seems to change and
They say none of them will listen
But I still see much more power in that basement than in heartless/useless politicians
And if we get beaten by this winter
If we get strangled by regret, just
Let our love of life and tension
Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and
Have them lay us in a basement
Smash some bottles on the ground, and
Say we couldn't tell the difference between the feeling and the sound
Remember not our faulty pieces
Remember not our rusted parts
It's not the petty imperfections that define us but
The way we hold our hearts
And the way we hold our heads
I hope they write your names beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead
And when we are dead let our voices carry on
To find a better song
To find a better song and sing along
What kind of Tama kit is that? (Specifically tom sizes and wood) It sounds great!
"I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence" - favourite line, this whole song is fucking beautiful.
Wow I love this band ! I just found them on pandora today ! The song was safer in the forest ! Great song
fuck u guys dont know how much i miss her, so many mistakes but it doesnt care anymore, fuck i cant explain
awesome style
the bass... is this an 60s jazz or what?
Music was made from emotion. And made to evoke emotion. If you sit and listen to La Dispute, actually sit and listen, not with your phone in your hand and in your face distracting you from the present, the presence and true essence of life, then i promise you will FEEL.. I feel what real music is and why it exists. Why it needed to. I'm not telling you what you will feel but you will FEEL. Or you're a robot and I'm truly sorry.
I have their logo tattooed on my forearm. Decent band I guess.
honestly i used to know this song by heart when i was 14 and i still come back to it from time to time and it's still great
I with this version was available to download..
Much better than that sack of shit Hobo Johnson
Been my favorite band for five years.
la dispute is absolutely breath taking
my god
F#'#'#@@@ Class
L nomie acting with ax
Goosebumps... just fucking goosebumps. This song, the atmosphere. So flawless. So beautiful.
I was telling my boyfriend about how I'm nervous about what song we will dance to at our wedding. What wedding song will be 'our' song. I worry it won't be perfect, or encapsulate us. He knows I'm in love with La Dispute. He links me to this video. Stuttered breath. Honest pure affection.
"Twenty uno pilots"
dude this is dope
god these guys are such whiny cunts......
I miss la dispute
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE...perfect setting...amazing atmosphere...10/10
I hope they write your name beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead
They've been my favorite since 8th grade. Helped me through so much. La Dispute is just so unlike any other band.
is there anything else from this live session on youtube?
Put this version up for download?
Wtfacking voiceeee :)))
danke an Andre Teilzeit, dass ich durch ihn diese Musik kenne <3
This makes me happy

BRUV I WAS SO CONFUSED I WAS LIKE BOI THAT LOOKS LIKE THE CHURCH IN MY TOWN THAT FANK IERO PLAYED AT AND THEN I READ THE DESCRIPTION AAAAAAAUHFEVNIHWRCNOHDFV
Here I find myself listening to this song for the first time in a while, and it still hits me as hard as the first time.
mewithoutYou is pretty cool
fuck i cant start listening to this band again im gonnnana dieeeeeeee
マックス M A X banana die
honestly just shut the fuck up about other bands and listen to the music. pay attention.
This is so important x
Am i the only one who is really sick of these "it is sounds like blahblah" comments? Its sounds like La Dispute...get over it!
YES haha. When they say they sound like Twenty One Pilots... when La Dispute has been around for much long time than that other band.
forreal they are so unique haha
Sounds like Whitechapel
Wow, my friend wasn't kidding when she said this band sucked ass lol.
Elaborate.
@Marcus Price you have autism but that's ok
No that's just your opinion.. which no one cares about here.. so why bother? You got too much time bitch.
they literally saved my fucking life, ew
Jyessi Terriaynt nope. I have autism and even I know what good music is
HOW THE HELL HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS BAND BEFORE
Sarah Jessica Parker Same
Sarah Jessica Parker
Check out wildlife and such small hands
Cause they are Not super popular or very famous!
Thanks Rolling Stone website or telling me about these people
Esta cancion tiene algo de ritmo parecido a Heathens...
No, Heathens se parece a esta canción, mejor dicho
this is so beautiful..I want this played at my funeral ♥♥♥
I think this is the best performance of La Dispute I have ever listened to.
The instruments are so pure, full of emotion, the lyrics are really deep.
The band really is syncing well with each other, and I love how it all blends together
10/10 would listen again.
Honestly this sounds so much better than the version on the EP, one of the worst mixes I've ever heard, but I love the song
I dunno their performance on Audiotree was really up to par as well
So beautiful.
Is this version of the song available for download anywhere?
I saw these guys in concert. It was amazing, such a small, family-like venue. It was great, Jordan accidentally hit his band mate with the mic cord(I'm sorry I don't know his name)
dear 21p fans,
this band is older then 21p
Congrats ??
k... so what
So excited to see you fucking guys in Nashville with Thrice! Been waiting a long while to see you all live. Love the music, have for a long time. Absolutely stoked.
slightly different to the album version but so very good
This is beautiful.
An absolute masterpiece. ❤️❤️
If you scroll through this comments section and take a drink every time you see someone mention mewithoutYou or Twenty One Pilots, you will die of alcohol poisoning.
Azkii they didn't, a couple of songs on blurry face were more poppy but they are still amazing, they said next album is gonna be more like self titled
You were the only one who mentioned mewithoutYou and Twenty One Pilots. I wont die from one drink.
Mewithoutyou and La Dispute are actually good. The other is shit.
I feel like they sound more like bearvsshark
Black Flag ... lol
This reminds me to "car radio"
Just because it reminds me Toru Okada... Is this emo?
+GCR Tha God of cause it's emo(tional hardcore punk)
+Elriaa Stryder, not actually. I can see how they're (he's) emotional, but they actually fall under Post-Hardcore. Personally, they're more alternative to me hence why I put it
H O L D M E P L E A S E I mean you can be both
It's also Emo ^_^!
Mewithoutyou called, they want their song "in a sweater poorly knit" back.
not even similar in the slightest
Kanye called, he wants his Asshole attitude back.
Holy this sounds like Twenty One Pilots.
mysticblaz e
how is this information relevant?
fuck you jew
@Andrew Martin Wow. Someone is offended.
707 Don't make idiotic statements and nobody will have any problems (y)
Andrew Martin I know this was awhile ago but listen to Kitchen Sink by Twenty One Pilots, this is why I thought they sounded similar.
I'm new to this band! Do you guys have any recommended songs?
if you like this song, you'll love woman (in mirror) & woman (reading)
raina i Yes! I've listened to those songs awhile ago. I really enjoy their music.
such small hands
Everything
707 safer in the forest
Does anyone know the name of that keyboard thing? the one with the blowy tube.
It's a melodica :)
this is over all my favorite bmth song man this song the death of me really is the good side of emo right guys? just like my favorite anime where naruto used alchemy to go super sayen 75 and kill kaneki
😂 Wtf
😂 Wtf
OML SAME THO
This song was a lot more enjoyable when I didn't notice the damn metronome going on the whole time. why is that tambourine necessary
First song I have heard and I'm in love...
They sound kind of like Me Without You
amazing
if you like la dispute, try flatsound ✨
tell me how it goes
@Neko Squad Rose Not really. Most people only listen to songs off Blurryface or Stressed Out. They're known, but at the same time, not very known. For example:
"I love the song Kitchen Sink!"
"What kind of song is that??"
"It's by Twenty One Pilots"
"Who?"
"The guys who made Stressed Out"
"Oh! I love them!"
Right lol ^
Thank you so fucking much for this.
Mmm "A Small List Of Things I Would Normally Hide" <3
Flatsound are not good nor do they share anything remotely similar in terms of music. Flatsound does try to sound like bright eyes vocally. I could get behind you if you made that comparison.
shit is this 60fps? it looks so lifelike
I just cannot stop listening to this <3
Is THIS version avaiable for download?
