I come back to this song to remind myself of all that I no longer have, when I get too happy. (I'm not military if you're wondering, but that doesn't mean I'm not on a battlefield.)

I saw these guys in Pittsburgh when all they had put out was their demo with 4 songs. A guy I knew turned his basement into a venue, booked underground bands, and charge you at the door where you were given a solo cup to drink warm beer. I believe he named it the “spider lounge”. Very fond memories of that spot and I still have a copy of their signed demo.

Went to see AFI in early 2004 during the Sing the Sorrow tour, AFI was one of my favorite, if not favorite bands at the time. Poison the Well, who I had never heard of, was one of the openers and when they played this song I had to make a note of at least one lyric so I could look them up on the internet when I got home. Nearly 20 years later and I'm still listening to Poison the Well a lot more regularly than I am AFI.

Poison The Well transcend 'genres' they make great music, powerful, emotive, artistic, inspired & inspirational. The 'You come before you' album is a masterpiece and this song one of the highlights for sure.

This is only mentioned as to show the stark contrast of the next week when i managed to meet these guys and I have to say Big Jeff is one of the nicest people i've ever met. I walked up to him at the bar, gave a nervous "hi there I love your band dude" and he just smiled,picked me up and gave me a massive bear hug, said thanks and just stood for ages shooting the shit with me.

Poison the well ,,,,, dawn of post hardcore.

This album brings me back to 2004 and all the happy memories I associate it with, like a window into my own adolescence, carefree and full of good feelings. I spent that year in a relationship with a beautiful and lovely girl who was way out of my league, what a dream that time in my life was. The world held such amazing allure and promise, life was perfect. I am forever grateful for this band for helping make something very special to me personally.

“These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”

I hardly toss around the word beautiful, but this song embodies that definition. I remember one cold autumn many years ago, before I slept this song came on late, I remember just sitting and listening. It was cold in our house, the warmth of the fire went away, the TV screen flickered brightly with the music video, and the street lights were off. Much of the song's lyrics and the musical atmosphere buzzed in my mind before I slept. I tried reciting the lyrics but all I could do was hum. The next day, I bought the album and has been my favorite ever since.
