Dead Men Don't Lie

i don't even know where to begin with this song. mike kinsella takes the ugly and perverse qualities of human nature...comments on them with a simple scenario...and finally coupples them with this music that paints the most vivid picture while convaying these incredable tides of sadness and aintcipation. in short this song takes an "ugly scene" and makes it so beautiful that it puts my heart on hold every time.

Mike Kinsella takes the art of understatement to a completely different level. He knows how to create moods and feelings based on emotion and on feeling. He could have simply uttered the third through the fifth lines and made a profound statement. He captures in one song what alot of artists fail to grasp through complete discographies of music. I consider Owen 'Disc 2' of the set. Time has given him a more mature view of life and love than shown through American Football. All of his music is just so personable and relative.

Both of you guys are so rigth with everything you said. He is one of the most incredible musicians that i have ever come across. I have to say I listen to the AF cd at least twice a week and the owen album about once a week. It's like viatamins, you just gotta have them whether you want to or not. But i never mind.

Haha vsmtrigger is absolutely right. Mike Kinsella is my equivalent to Fred Flinstone.... i never thought I would say that but it is the truth.

hahahah that is like the funniest synonym ive ever heard. mike kinsella and fred flinstone vitamins... hahah! so true. so hilarious.

this song gets me every time, i could listen to it on repeat for hours

Such a depressing song, yet so beautiful.
