Damn, my brother got me into defeater and now I'm sitting here without him, ever again, listening to a song that's very accurate on how he ended his life.
He threw himself in front of a train 'cause he had demons he didn't want his family to be bothered with...

Listening to this in tears. If only he knew his demons were not his own...

[juansebastianargotereinoso]

You need to get out of this house
I'll walk you down to town
Penny candy at the general store
I’d buy us a pop if I had more
Keep walking inland all day
Spitting and cursing each other’s name

[Chorus]
Ain’t this what, ain’t this what brothers are supposed to do?
The blood between us, makes it all but true

[Verse 2]
So we roll on through
Out past the quarries, sandpits too
Find our way out to the tracks
The sun, it beats down on our backs
Well, heaven help us if there’s a train
Dodge it like the beaches of Normandy

[Chorus]
Ain’t this what, ain’t this what brothers are supposed to do?
The blood between us, makes it all but true

[Outro]
And we saw that smoke rising over trees
And I swore, I swore, I swore that train was out for me
So I held him tight and felt those tracks rumble underneath
He swore, he swore if I didn’t let go he would knock me off my feet
And that’s what he did
And that’s what he did
And that’s what he did
And that’s what he did

more acoustic stuff would be nice from defeater

[mattwilliams]

Derek is such a good guy. Their show in SLC sold out and he guest listed me and my brother so we could get in

[redsox]

Will Porch Sessions ever make a return, 3am me wants to know

[schmolly]

How could you dislike this? Superb rendition of one of the best Defeater songs

[LostWisdom]

the cigarette turns up the immersion very well

[Portovy]

I just cant find the words how this song touched my soul, how much expression on it...

[Porchsessions]

Thank you for your kind words. We'll have more coming soon!

[Yessycakes]

This is so beautiful! Put tears in my eyes! haha

[FastenGorji]

[lunch]

Dude this is amazing, I love it, this deserves so much more recognition than it has already, im sure you wont even need my help, but I will try to make this more known. excellent job man.

[elliekemshall]

[tdagarim]

best cover by the person who wrote the song and is in the band...:)

[Soyasatru]

amazing song !!! amazing composer and amazing band !!! 

[martinbright]

Well, this isn't a cover. This is their song originally taken from their album Empty Days & Sleepless Nights. Have a listen to it first.

[codyhiar]

Does nobody notice that he totally cuts out "We'll go act our age, kick rocks, waste summer days"?

[TheReverOcelot]

Can someone recomend me something like this? I mean, acoustic songs or artists performed in solo with this strumming style not fingerpicking

[thelostmotel]

can someone tell which chord is the third one he uses before F?
Am Am (without the high e string) and F

[alexpa]

does anyone knows the strumming pattern of this one??
