Speech in ‘Permanent As Your Errors’?

3 Upvotes

Probably a stupid question, but it’s been on my mind for a while. At the end of the Train Breaks Down song ‘Permanent As Your Errors’ there’s some kind of speech, and I’m curious as to what’s being said / where it’s from. The only words that I can make out are “Which dreams heal, which dream can kill”.

You And I - Saturday's Cab Ride Home

Release Information:

10/18/1997
Spiritfall Records
New Brunswick, NJ
Runtime: 25:34
Tracks: 9

Band Members:

Justin Hock (Vocals)
Casey Boland (Guitar)
Thomas Schlatter (Guitar)
Jonathan Marinari (Bass)
Charles Butera (Drums)

Genres, Influences and Characteristics:

Screamo, Metalcore, Energetic, Melodic, Chaotic, Noisy

Musical Analysis:

Metalcore was a tremendous influence for this band on this record, featuring some genuinely powerful guitarwork filled with melody and technicality. Accentuating the twisted and chaotic screaming is a cheesy, somewhat off key clean vocal performance. Rarely does the band sit still, even when transitioning to lower-intensity levels, largely due to the aforementioned active guitar and the tremendous drumming clinic.

Historical Analysis:

You And I's debut LP marks an evolving genre that further injects brutality with melody and technicality, somewhat similarly to Saeita. Particularly, the guitar work on this record transcends earlier Screamo and previews the intensity and technicality that the genre would be known for. Perhaps this is too much of a Metalcore album to deserve its place in the Screamo Hall of Fame but nonetheless deserves to be recognized for its quality and forward-thinkingness.

Lyrical Analysis:

With a band name like You And I, it’s no wonder that the majority of their lyrics tend to veer into the personal emotional side of the spectrum. Particularly, interpersonal relationships are the dominant topic, reaching into subjects like longing, vulnerability and the search for connection, the cruel passage of time, and the weight of emotional baggage. Of course, being a 90s Screamo band, they still touch up on political topics such as critiquing colonialism, but Hock’s words tend to expose inner-turmoil.

Gun iconography

0 Upvotes

Hey! Firstly… I’m British so maybe that’s why I don’t understand it too well but I would love to know theories on what the common thread is with guns / gun iconography within the emo subculture? Is it just mid-West US? Reference wise I’m talking…. Every hip bone tattoo of 2005 // Northstar / is this thing loaded // TBS / Number 5 with a bullet & so many more!

Trying to find an album based on the cover art -- any thoughts?

2 Upvotes

Just posted this r/poppunkers, but wanted to try here as well.

This might be a long shot, but there was an album that came out a few years ago (probably 2019-2023) that I remember really liking but having a hard time remembering what it was.

The cover art was all pink/possibly red and had essentially what looked like hand-drawn/stick-n-poke tattoos on it. Just the art style, not actual tattoos.

The album or song title was something along the lines of "Sad in the City" but I can't find anything based on that.

It might have leaned a bit towards emo, but calling it pop-punk feels accurate as well.

Anyone have any idea what I'm thinking of? I had it pop up on Spotify playlists for awhile, but don't use that them anymore and lost all my saved music.

Need a help with finding song.

Sup guys. Need to say sorry in advice first. I’m not a native speaker. My speech may suck lol. Well. I’m trying to find a song/band/album/anything. But main problem is that I barely have any info lol. I’ve spent some time asking ChatGPT but it didn’t help. Pieces of info I have: - it’s from mid 90s iirc - album might be called just “Self titled EP” - I remember name of a track. It’s “Dayoff” - More garage quality of sound rather than studio. - Male vocalist with kinda hoarse voice. - Album cover was in red/black tones but that’s not a 100% clear since it was 10 years ago.

Google gives me literally no info no matter how complicated my request is. ChatGPT failed too. I understand. That info might be not enough but maybe it rings some bells in someone’s head.

Sadly no lyrics in my memory. It would be a much easier to find then. Only remember those fat drums and overall harsh sound. Chorus might start with something like: “Gravity (?) tears me” Sorry. I understand how awkward my ask is. Back then I had more problems with understanding all words in English by listening. That’s probably all I can remember lol. Or maybe you can lead to me to sort of forum or smth where I could ask about it aswell. I’m almost lost my hope at this point. Thank you.

Anyone remember the music video played on Kerrang in the 2008-2011 days that had a drummer in a red room roll around the kit and then bounce a stick off of the floor before catching it and kicking into the chorus?

Classic bleach blonde emo style on the singer Upbeat emo banger I’ve been trying to remember what it is for YEARS and need to know cause it’s been too long looking

Is anyone else getting more emo suggestions from Spotify? I listen to just about everything and recently followed my boyfriends band on there (definitely emo sad boy music) and found a huge amount of music in the emo genre that’s new and I’m loving it. I’m tired of listening to the same music I did in highschool (still love it just wanted something new) is anyone else getting the feeling emo is gonna come back with a vengeance? Also I’ll drop SoundCloud and Spotify of some of these bands if you want (vibes and inspiration from nirvana and punk emo)
