The Headstones-Cubically Contained

I own no rights to this song

[colleenhannah]

Put the bottle down ten plus years ago now just had 7 months Clean and slipped today a tad heard this song and came back to the understanding it’s my own demon and I can’t use an excuse. So I am doing it this time as I did learn something I am doing this for me, myself and I that’s 3 people in my corner. I owned my shit and I got it for this second. AMEN

Saw them in a Buffalo basement bar in probably 1996. They were great. Buffalo gets to listen to the southern Ontario radio stations. Lots of Canooks crossed the border that night to see the show, so everyone knew the songs and, being a bar, there was some alcohol involved. Woman in one hand, beer in other, friends around, great tunes. What could be better than that? I miss the 90s.

This band kicks ass , every time, !!seen them 3 times in Peterborough.. the best

[travisligocki]

They sit with the Canadian music gods like no one else. Matt Good, Moist and Treble Charger only wish they were as raw as The Headstones. The 90's will never be forgotten or replaced ever in music. I'm so fortunate to have live between the two greatest cities for rock in the 90's Vancouver BC and Seattle.

My theme song after my wife died.
Fortunately I had a 1&2 year old to raise.... found the beauty in a storm.

How have I not heard of this band? amazing ❤️

Thank you Due South for introducing me to a lot of really good music.

[MrSevenstars]

Say what you will, these guys had raw emotional talent.  That differs from raw talent.  I think they lived what it was we heard from them.  Not a clue if I am correct, but I am glad they recorded their output.  Takes a good producer to harness that, as well.  Kudos to all.  Nice tune.

I just realized that this song is about alcoholism.. Ive heard this song a million times never listened to the lyrics

[lifelikealpha]

These were fun times, too bad everything went to shit after 2012

[uhfnutbar]

[Jannan]

Good for me for a time
All hell's cubically contained
Staunched and bottled
Pressed and altered
And at the ready for the reigns
The first tiny little shadows
Of my creepy little thoughts
Inhabit all that matters
And I lose by default

And I'll never promise anything again
And I'll never promise anything again
And I'll never promise anything again

I've set a dozen 12 step traps
But they've slid by everyone
I never catch the little bastards
I really do with that they'd own up
Those paranoid little fuckers
Take their paranoid little time
And when the mood rolls in
They're bank robbin'
And I'm a hostage who will drive

And I'll never promise anything again

Now I can only do so much
And I will never deviate
I hear myself take a deep breath
And think I must have wanted it this way
I remember all those little traps
I could not keep them in place
They were never stationed anywhere
They were terrorized and maimed

So tonight I've set a vigil
And my shadows all that's cast
And the iron that's encased it
Is doing all that one could ask

And I'll never promise anything again
And I'll never promise anything again
And I'll never promise anything again

I recently discovered that these guys were probably influenced by goddo
