Cover art for You Are Invited lyrics by Dismemberment Plan, The

I'll agree with staygold. An internet friend recommended The Dismemberment Plan to me a while back... I was kind of expecting some sort of death metal, but was pleasantly surprised with intelligent rock.

This is without question my favorite song off Emergency & I. It puts me in a good mood every time I hear it, especially when he describes meeting his ex-girlfriend at the party. The beat changes, and when she smiles and tells him he is invited the song just breaks open.

Not much mystery in this song. He gets a symbolic invitation that gives him confidence and a feeling of empowerment.

Just heard it recently, but no doubt one of my favorite songs.
