Sorry if there's already been a thread on this.... I am yet to locate the search function.
I've heard people talk about LFDGD, with songs such as Teargas and Sweet Nurse being mentioned as highlights. Yet no one seems to mention "I Transpire."
To me, this is THE standout track on the album! I go and get the CD from my car just to listen to this song!
The verses are fantastic in terms of building tension, and the effect on Jonas' vocals is very interesting.
The bridge that follows is just perfect. When Jonas sings "I'm awake, I'm right in the circle now", I can't help but stop and listen and be moved by both his vocal line and the guitar melodies beneath it. And the vocal harmony on "I am with them" which follows is incredible.
The chorus, with its minimalist approach on the drums and continuing mournful atmsophere, is brilliant. There is such a sense of resignation in the lyrics here. He is accepting his fate because he knows that "Their hearts, they are similar to mine." He knows that if their roles were reversed, he would not be acting any differently.
Such a good song.
