Nieces Pieces (Boat Knife Version)

i believe jamie is singing to his niece, in a sarcastic matter (obviously). although he enjoys her innocence, he is fully aware that she will lose it. he is letting her in on the fact that she will grow up around some emotionally-damaging people, but since she is too young to understand any of that now, she will have to grow with it at her own pace.

This song made me cry the first time i heard it. Such strong lyrics, i cant get enough. The last two lines always really get me

From Tigersare blog :

What does your sister think of Niece’s Pieces?

That was kind of bad news, it did not go over well. At the time that it was written no-one in my family was really paying any attention to anything, so I figured I could write about anything really directly and not have it affect anybody, but that was definitely not the case. Since then we still write about whatever we want to write about but are maybe a little more elusive about the specific person that it’s about, just in an attempt to spare the subject matter’s feelings. We definitely don’t want to make anybody feel bad. That was a big traumatic mess in my family.

the end gets me. the acoustic...makes me cry...so good, so good.

This makes me cry, probably because the idea it expresses is so true.

very sad

Watching snow fall to.

This song makes me cry. Its beautiful and so true..

There's also this certain sense of the unavoidable in it. Yes, he already knows, he can tell her, he can be sarcastic about it and he can wish all this won't happen, still it's going to be her experience, her personal crisis, her chance to break or break free.
