Just discovered this song and band today - which really surprised me because this is a genre of music I’ve always enjoyed so I don’t know how this band slipped under my radar. What I love about the lyrics, especially at the end, is that they somehow make the shooter a sympathetic character when he asks if he can still go to heaven after dying by suicide. It’s so desperate. He wants to atone for his crime of murder but still somehow wants to think that suicide would damn his soul forever and not the killing of a kid. As a listener I didn’t want the dude to end his life. I wanted him to face justice and “make his peace in the world” for what he did. It’s just such a beautiful and sad song.
Just thinking about this song in passing is enough to totally alter my headspace. I live in Grand Rapids where these events took place and hearing someone mention MLK Park or driving past it can trigger flashbacks of the absolute sobbing mess I was the first time I heard this shit
Bro, this song literally made me cry for the rest of the day after hearing it. It’s just so painfully moving and the fact that it is based off a real life situation is awful.
This was the song finally convinced me of the brilliance of La Dispute. It might as well be poetry. There certainly aren't many lyric writers who can touch this stuff. And then the band!
I still listen to this and feel awful as if it was my own sibling, even though he is 19 and a fully functioning adult. I first listened to this 9 years ago, I still try to protect him from the world he's so oblivious to.

I think this is one of the most painful pieces of music I've ever heard
this hurts to hear and yet I continue to listen to it, it’s just so moving
In the back of a car, a chaotic stage of life, on the way to who-knows-where, and this song coming on still stays with me -what a masterpiece
Still so relevant...

This song... leaves me shaking, dude. It's so fucking powerful.
This is so heavy and for WHAT
The lyrics:
I've listened to this song probably hundreds of times by now, and still get chills every time.
Bro hearing the last lines live fucking shook me to my core forever i still get chills

Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of a mass shooting that left 7 dead in the city where I live, Odessa.
Listening to music like this after dealing with depression your whole life, but now being the happiest you've been is a weird feeling.

This song is perfect during the ww3
i like the way this song is layed out if that makes since. like he saw it all as an astral projection
This song gets me through everthing
