Also, just paid attention to the lyrics. Fucking hell, this is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Especially the second "Hello my dear..." part is heart breaking.
+Zuaoum Schabeiro Yeah, instead of a concept album where all the songs are all part of a story, each album is a part of the story Pretty fukken awesome that they managed to do that
Beautiful song. Incredible album. Phenomenal band. I'm a freshman in college, and my ex girlfriend from freshman year of high school passed away a few days ago. It's been really weird, because we basically did not have any contact after she graduated my sophomore year, and all of sophomore year we didn't really talk much. And now she's gone. This song has helped me tremendously. She was a great person, and I will always remember her. Rest in peace, Katelynn
"Headstone" Hello my dear It’s so nice to see you here How long has it been? Oh it feels like years But I’m sure it’s just been days Been walking around alone Drunk and missing you at home You know I’ll never feel the same Or ask another girl to take my name Think I’ve been stopping by too much Don’t want you to get sick of me On my way home from the Copper Coin It’s this or I jump into the sea And I will never forgive myself for not being there to protect you I should have been at home instead of out trying to forget you Just one fight and I’m out the door What kind of man am I? I swore I’d never leave your side Hello my dear It’s so hard to see you here How long has it been since we put you in the ground? Oh it feels like days, but it’s been years Oh, and please don’t call me baby, it’s just too hard to hear Too hard to hear Leave you flowers at your headstone Just sit and talk to you my dear My dear
I cry everytime I hear this song. I lost my best friend, and while it doesn't directly relate to the lyrics, the feeling of loss is the same. I love and miss you Eric.
So many memories are attached to this song for me. It's bittersweet listening to this now. It's not been too long I guess, but i just got hit with a huge wave of nostalgia.
I only found this today on the album, didn't expect it at the end but it's beautiful and I nearly tear up everytime I listen to it and I'm a guy I love the people who are close to me :')
Said goodbye to a girl i was with for 2 years...always talked about being together forever...i sent her this song before...and she was so happy i did. And now shes gone.
its ridiculous how they can so sincerely convey the emotion of the hypothetical situations ginen in the concept of their lyrics. Love this fucking band.
i lost my gf in a car accedent a month ago. everytime i hear this song it reminds me of the good times we had only cause the last couple weeks were tough between us. this song should be a lesson to cherish every moment u have with the ones u love cause it may be the last.
This song destroys everyone. I love all the complex nuances in the vocals and the picking, and how song is like really happy sounding then put he put simple but devastatingly deep lyrics that have there own intensity over top the happy melody. This song is contradicting but it really works well and is pretty over the top.
This song is incredible. The first time you listen to it, and you realize at the end that the wife he's singing about is dead, then the second time you listen to it and every verse changes meaning now that you know she's dead. "I've been stopping by too much, don't want you to get sick of me" FUCK
Good people. I need help finding a song. The lyrics of the chorus are as follows (I think) " And I tryyy to drink you hooome, but the bottles not deep enooough and the nights are loong" Please, I've been looking for this song forever now. I need the title and artist.
@GodBlessYouthfulness they arent in order but travels is the youngest brothers point of view and endless days sleepless nights is from the oldest brothers view. white oak doors is where the youngest brother takes the oldest to the train tracks and he gets hit by the train, which is why the song cuts out. the oldest one dies. cowardice is where the youngest brother ends the story by killing himself. so in the end everybody dies..pretty depressing story lol
Derek had a side-project called Alcoa. Check him out, he got really good stuff if u like this song. I think he got an album out or coming out, can't find it on youtube tho.
Also, just paid attention to the lyrics. Fucking hell, this is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Especially the second "Hello my dear..." part is heart breaking.
Pay attention to the whole album, it's one big sad storylol. it's super great
+Zuaoum Schabeiro Yeah, instead of a concept album where all the songs are all part of a story, each album is a part of the story

It feels like days but it's been years.
Still hits heavy. Genuinely appreciate having music like this around.
"Headstone"
Hello my dear
It’s so nice to see you here
How long has it been?
Oh it feels like years
But I’m sure it’s just been days
Been walking around alone
Drunk and missing you at home
You know I’ll never feel the same
Or ask another girl to take my name
Think I’ve been stopping by too much
Don’t want you to get sick of me
On my way home from the Copper Coin
It’s this or I jump into the sea
And I will never forgive myself for not being there to protect you
I should have been at home instead of out trying to forget you
Just one fight and I’m out the door
What kind of man am I?
I swore I’d never leave your side
Hello my dear
It’s so hard to see you here
How long has it been since we put you in the ground?
Oh it feels like days, but it’s been years
Oh, and please don’t call me baby, it’s just too hard to hear
Too hard to hear
Leave you flowers at your headstone
Just sit and talk to you my dear
My dear
I'll always remember the first time I heard this on the first full album play through of empty days. Completely broke my heart.
This made me shed tears. This is one of the most heartfelt songs I've ever listened too. Utterly amazing. T
I cry everytime I hear this song. I lost my best friend, and while it doesn't directly relate to the lyrics, the feeling of loss is the same. I love and miss you Eric.
Im soo happy to see defeater get more popular. It brings a smile to my face..
Only band I know that does great soft acoustic music and excellent post hardcore.
I'm not crying I swear... I'm sweating... From my eyeballs...
This song is so amazing. I cried while listening to it. It's already considered one of my favourite songs ever. So much love for Defeater.
You know I’ll never feel the same
or ask another girl to take my name
This song's makes me cry. I'm crying right now!
It's dedicated for the LOVE OF MY LIFE and MY SON.
LOVE YOU & MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH. :'(
If I might ask, what happened to them?
Angelo Gerpel They probably passed away in a car accident. ):
So many memories are attached to this song for me. It's bittersweet listening to this now. It's not been too long I guess, but i just got hit with a huge wave of nostalgia.
R.I.P. Dad. My best friend, my worst enemy.
5 years today since my best friend was murdered. This song helps so much. Thank you.
Hah
I can listen to this song on repeat for hours. In fact, that is what I did today at work stalking the shelves.
Saw these guys live with ABR, Beartooth, and blessthefall when they came to Orlando. They were amazing. And they continually get better
I only found this today on the album, didn't expect it at the end but it's beautiful and I nearly tear up everytime I listen to it and I'm a guy
I love the people who are close to me :')
Said goodbye to a girl i was with for 2 years...always talked about being together forever...i sent her this song before...and she was so happy i did. And now shes gone.
I Will Fuck Your Email, bro this just happened to me. Broke up with my lady of 2 and half years and I was going to propose in February.
Christopher Powell
Id never. But i Still want to kill myself. Sorry about that man. Its horrible

I Will Fuck Your Email nobody was bro

This song fucking destroyed me
Wow...This song just hits my soul...literally...
This is one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I've ever heard! Defeater rules!
Im a guy and I teared up a Bit. This song is beautiful and the meaning is close to home. R.I.P. to the ones we love.
Arthur I love you. I'm waiting for you. I'll be with you again.. together for eternity.
R.I.P.
its ridiculous how they can so sincerely convey the emotion of the hypothetical situations ginen in the concept of their lyrics. Love this fucking band.
The background story behind all of these albums is so heart breaking. Read into it and be amazed.
love this song so much. reminds me to stop a fight before it starts.
This song kicks my ass everytime
Defeater does everything better than others.
this song is about something tragic, but its just so beautiful and relaxing. love you, defeater.
this is the third song ive ever listened to by Defeater, this shit is touching..
i lost my gf in a car accedent a month ago. everytime i hear this song it reminds me of the good times we had only cause the last couple weeks were tough between us. this song should be a lesson to cherish every moment u have with the ones u love cause it may be the last.

Every single time I hear this song, my heart sinks. It's tragic.

Rest In Peace, Kris Banker.
My favourite song. Ever.
HOW CAN ONE BAND BE SO PERFECT?!
Thank you, Defeater.
I work at pacsun and this came on and i almost cried during work...haha everyone was like "Are you okay?!" haha, such a good song.
Just noticed the beginning sounds like the beginning of Cowardice.
i think who doesnt has no heart
this is just the most beautiful rhing i've ever listend to :)
beautiful
omg i could cry ...the whole day
This song destroys everyone.

This song made me think of Kelly Anne Wallace and Gordon Riker. I love you guys
defeater is the greatest band of all time
sooo nice!
rest in peace to my mom
Haven't cried in 2 years, these guys get me very close though ...
best song i ever heard
*STEIN SITTING ALONE ON A CLIFF* ... Lighting up a cigarette with his dog... playing guitar.. drinking a beer.. coyotes below howwling at the moon..
desert dweller?
Perfect.
Ich liebe dich. Für immer.
This song is incredible. The first time you listen to it, and you realize at the end that the wife he's singing about is dead, then the second time you listen to it and every verse changes meaning now that you know she's dead. "I've been stopping by too much, don't want you to get sick of me" FUCK
this made me cry
R.I.P..... Sharon Murphy
you are a genius.
i like so much
@Divisi0ns, he does have an album out. It's called Bone & Marrow. C:
Thank you, Based God.
I miss you..
It weird how every Defeater's song can rely to my relationship... They're the strongest talented song writers.. If it can be said like that
wow i did not expect it to end this way, fucking amazing.
reminds me of this girl I love who lives across the country...
Is she dead lol
Good people. I need help finding a song. The lyrics of the chorus are as follows (I think) " And I tryyy to drink you hooome, but the bottles not deep enooough and the nights are loong" Please, I've been looking for this song forever now. I need the title and artist.
Only some songs have a little truth in them, but regardless they are amazing and beautiful stories.
Rest in peace Annette Evans.
They all die in the end, what a tough story. We all should consider ourselves lucky to have a normal family, without this pain and sorrow.
@linkin233
You sir, are a GOD.
Makes me miss you Nico...
winamp is on repeat the whole time!
i miss winamp
@@MrKeda23 I miss 2011...

This song is just fucking crushing.
Mind = blown
speechless...
someone should put rainy mood and this song together so I could have this perfect mix on my iPod
Lol...Ipods...who would have thought they would be supplanted by phones now...
I dedicate this song to a very good friend of mine, who lost his girlfriend last week.

Damn.
@CardinalSessions lol who still uses winamp?
Rip Tiffany Ann.
acoustic song this good, and still have a following that's hard as nails? i can dig that.
Sounds fucking awesome
Thank you for the great idea
start at the beginning of empty days and sleepless nights
travels is the same story from another perspective
anybody else think the first couple notes at the start and the last couple notes are the same as the start of "Cowardice"?
but i am sure that it has just been days, but it has been years.
Same
Derek had a side-project called Alcoa. Check him out, he got really good stuff if u like this song. I think he got an album out or coming out, can't find it on youtube tho.
@tomtwostep oldschool ;)
@Razzee87 true dat
