Also, just paid attention to the lyrics. Fucking hell, this is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Especially the second "Hello my dear..." part is heart breaking.

"Headstone" Hello my dear It’s so nice to see you here How long has it been? Oh it feels like years But I’m sure it’s just been days Been walking around alone Drunk and missing you at home You know I’ll never feel the same Or ask another girl to take my name Think I’ve been stopping by too much Don’t want you to get sick of me On my way home from the Copper Coin It’s this or I jump into the sea And I will never forgive myself for not being there to protect you I should have been at home instead of out trying to forget you Just one fight and I’m out the door What kind of man am I? I swore I’d never leave your side Hello my dear It’s so hard to see you here How long has it been since we put you in the ground? Oh it feels like days, but it’s been years Oh, and please don’t call me baby, it’s just too hard to hear Too hard to hear Leave you flowers at your headstone Just sit and talk to you my dear My dear

I'll always remember the first time I heard this on the first full album play through of empty days. Completely broke my heart.

Beautiful song. Incredible album. Phenomenal band. I'm a freshman in college, and my ex girlfriend from freshman year of high school passed away a few days ago. It's been really weird, because we basically did not have any contact after she graduated my sophomore year, and all of sophomore year we didn't really talk much. And now she's gone. This song has helped me tremendously. She was a great person, and I will always remember her. Rest in peace, Katelynn

Still hits heavy. Genuinely appreciate having music like this around.

This made me shed tears. This is one of the most heartfelt songs I've ever listened too. Utterly amazing. T

Im soo happy to see defeater get more popular. It brings a smile to my face..

I'm not crying I swear... I'm sweating... From my eyeballs...

Only band I know that does great soft acoustic music and excellent post hardcore.

I cry everytime I hear this song. I lost my best friend, and while it doesn't directly relate to the lyrics, the feeling of loss is the same. I love and miss you Eric.

This song is so amazing. I cried while listening to it. It's already considered one of my favourite songs ever. So much love for Defeater.

Arthur I love you. I'm waiting for you. I'll be with you again.. together for eternity. R.I.P.

You know I’ll never feel the same or ask another girl to take my name

5 years today since my best friend was murdered. This song helps so much. Thank you.

Saw these guys live with ABR, Beartooth, and blessthefall when they came to Orlando. They were amazing. And they continually get better

This song's makes me cry. I'm crying right now! It's dedicated for the LOVE OF MY LIFE and MY SON. LOVE YOU & MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH. :'(

So many memories are attached to this song for me. It's bittersweet listening to this now. It's not been too long I guess, but i just got hit with a huge wave of nostalgia.

Said goodbye to a girl i was with for 2 years...always talked about being together forever...i sent her this song before...and she was so happy i did. And now shes gone.

I only found this today on the album, didn't expect it at the end but it's beautiful and I nearly tear up everytime I listen to it and I'm a guy I love the people who are close to me :')

This song fucking destroyed me

Wow...This song just hits my soul...literally...

its ridiculous how they can so sincerely convey the emotion of the hypothetical situations ginen in the concept of their lyrics. Love this fucking band.

I can listen to this song on repeat for hours. In fact, that is what I did today at work stalking the shelves.

R.I.P. Dad. My best friend, my worst enemy.

The background story behind all of these albums is so heart breaking. Read into it and be amazed.

This is one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I've ever heard! Defeater rules!

This song kicks my ass everytime

love this song so much. reminds me to stop a fight before it starts.

Im a guy and I teared up a Bit. This song is beautiful and the meaning is close to home. R.I.P. to the ones we love.

this song is about something tragic, but its just so beautiful and relaxing. love you, defeater.

So beautiful.

Defeater does everything better than others.

such sad song yet so incredible amazing. almost listened it every day for the last two weeks

The song is so perfect!!

R.I.P Nathan Pectol ♡

Thank you, Defeater.

Every single time I hear this song, my heart sinks. It's tragic.

This song destroys everyone. I love all the complex nuances in the vocals and the picking, and how song is like really happy sounding then put he put simple but devastatingly deep lyrics that have there own intensity over top the happy melody. This song is contradicting but it really works well and is pretty over the top.

R.I.P Eduardo Falcón. My Grandfather, My Father, My Best Friend

may your friend rest in piece for all eternity.

this is the third song ive ever listened to by Defeater, this shit is touching..

i lost my gf in a car accedent a month ago. everytime i hear this song it reminds me of the good times we had only cause the last couple weeks were tough between us. this song should be a lesson to cherish every moment u have with the ones u love cause it may be the last.

Miss you Cole.

Rest In Peace, Kris Banker.

117 likes and no dislikes.. Shows how amazing and raw the emotions in this song are.

omg i could cry ...the whole day

Just noticed the beginning sounds like the beginning of Cowardice.

My favourite song. Ever.

beautiful

I work at pacsun and this came on and i almost cried during work...haha everyone was like "Are you okay?!" haha, such a good song.

This song is incredible. The first time you listen to it, and you realize at the end that the wife he's singing about is dead, then the second time you listen to it and every verse changes meaning now that you know she's dead. "I've been stopping by too much, don't want you to get sick of me" FUCK

This band is amazingly perfect.

rest in peace to my mom

HOW CAN ONE BAND BE SO PERFECT?!

best song i ever heard

you are a genius.

i think who doesnt has no heart this is just the most beautiful rhing i've ever listend to :)

defeater is the greatest band of all time

Haven't cried in 2 years, these guys get me very close though ...

this made me cry

sooo nice!

winamp is on repeat the whole time!

Perfect.

Ich liebe dich. Für immer.

wow i did not expect it to end this way, fucking amazing.

This song made me think of Kelly Anne Wallace and Gordon Riker. I love you guys

*STEIN SITTING ALONE ON A CLIFF* ... Lighting up a cigarette with his dog... playing guitar.. drinking a beer.. coyotes below howwling at the moon..

Thank you, Based God.

This song is just fucking crushing.

Rest in peace Annette Evans.

They all die in the end, what a tough story. We all should consider ourselves lucky to have a normal family, without this pain and sorrow.

@GodBlessYouthfulness they arent in order but travels is the youngest brothers point of view and endless days sleepless nights is from the oldest brothers view. white oak doors is where the youngest brother takes the oldest to the train tracks and he gets hit by the train, which is why the song cuts out. the oldest one dies. cowardice is where the youngest brother ends the story by killing himself. so in the end everybody dies..pretty depressing story lol

It weird how every Defeater's song can rely to my relationship... They're the strongest talented song writers.. If it can be said like that

I miss you..

R.I.P..... Sharon Murphy

Mind = blown

i like so much

Makes me miss you Nico...

Good people. I need help finding a song. The lyrics of the chorus are as follows (I think) " And I tryyy to drink you hooome, but the bottles not deep enooough and the nights are loong" Please, I've been looking for this song forever now. I need the title and artist.

Only some songs have a little truth in them, but regardless they are amazing and beautiful stories.

@Divisi0ns, he does have an album out. It's called Bone & Marrow. C:

@tomtwostep oldschool ;)

speechless...

reminds me of this girl I love who lives across the country...

R.I.P. Nadia Shalya

@linkin233 You sir, are a GOD.

acoustic song this good, and still have a following that's hard as nails? i can dig that.

Sounds fucking awesome Thank you for the great idea

I dedicate this song to a very good friend of mine, who lost his girlfriend last week.

but i am sure that it has just been days, but it has been years.

start at the beginning of empty days and sleepless nights travels is the same story from another perspective

Damn.

ugh... my ex boyfriend sent this to me, we got into a fight because I knew he still cared about me.. he got a new girlfriend after we broke up and had doubt's but refused to end it with her because she'd be too upset.. after he sent this he didn't talk to me for months.. but happy ending we are still close friends.

someone should put rainy mood and this song together so I could have this perfect mix on my iPod

Okay, SOME do, I do not care. Regardless, Defeater has and always will be amazing.

Derek had a side-project called Alcoa. Check him out, he got really good stuff if u like this song. I think he got an album out or coming out, can't find it on youtube tho.

anybody else think the first couple notes at the start and the last couple notes are the same as the start of "Cowardice"?

three words: in - fucking - credible.

Same
