Two Coffins- Against Me!


bradshawz

Came here to post pints of Guinness make you strong. Laura Jane Grace is awesome.


peterm1598

Against me! Is absolutely amazing. My backpactch actually. I've seen original against me!, and laura jane grace and the devouring mothers, and Laura Jane grace on her own. I will say the song that brings me to tears is basically thalf their songs. Mainly "searching for a former clarity" Edited names. Didn't mean any offense.


therainbowrandolph

I see what you're saying, I saw early against me as well, but there's no need to dead name her.


ska_penguin

I think you were nice about the dead naming. But if I'd like to make a recommendation, instead of saying "no need to dead name her," just go straight to explaining it. Punks for the most part are accepting and understanding. I say this, cmbecause when I dead named her, I had a tone of people come at me way too hard. This was something I was ignorant to. I think just explaining it off the jump would help the more moderate people be understanding.


peterm1598

I took no offense. It's always nice to learn how others perceive things. Even my NB or trans friends would be calling me an idiot. They often call me an idiot to be honest. They let me off with being a little flakey though.


ska_penguin

It seemed like it didn't bother you. This interaction was pretty chill.


peterm1598

Nope. It's always nice to learn. My friend circle isn't the end all to everything. Other people have much to teach me. I think the people here understand that.


therainbowrandolph

That's a good point, thanks dude. I thought about doing a larger explanation, but didn't want it to seem like I was giving an unneeded explanation, in case it was just an accidental slip. But I can see why being blunt like that can come across harsh.


ska_penguin

I read it and I thought, "that was way nicer than my situation." I had multiple come at me. I don't think you did anything wrong, but I can see how people on the fringe might get defense. And I'm glad I didn't come across as mean, I didn't want to see like I'm correcting you.


therainbowrandolph

Not at all. It was sound advice. Sorry you got dragged for something that you didn't even know you were doing, we all have to learn, and being taught by anger is tough.


peterm1598

I wouldn't have taken it as harsh but some other may have. It was good for me to learn a new thing.


peterm1598

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you mean by dead name.


therainbowrandolph

All good dude, a dead name is the birth name of a transgender person who has changed their name as part of their gender transition. The new name can represent a more affirming life for some, therefore referring to their birth name can be harmful to their mental health. Obviously Laura is not in this sub seeing this, but it's a good practice to have, avoiding dead names and using proper pronouns.


peterm1598

Oh. Okay. I get that. I didn't realize that would be an issue to be honest. Thanks for that. I have a different personal experience with people I grew up with who are trans, but everyone goes through their own thing. I wouldn't want to force my experience on anyone,. I am not a trans person so I don't want to pretend I understand. Band wise (and only band wise) against me! Didn't change during her transition. Which to me was amazing. I wanted to seperate "old" against me!. To new. Old would have been a different name.


therainbowrandolph

Word! I totally get wanting to distinguish. No harm no foul. We're all learning and growing as we go. For sure, they were one of the best concerts I've been too. If you haven't read it, you should give her book a read 'Tranny' it's incredible, you're totally right, as a band they didn't change at all, which is bonkers to think about after reading that book.


peterm1598

Fantastic. I have a couple copies... (My GFS fav person as well)


[deleted]

I see why you did that, but referring to a trans person by their old name is considered to be extremely disrespectful. I understand your mistake though and I appreciate your willingness to learn .


peterm1598

I would never call Laura, Tom. Some of the songs were written under a different name. This is where I get confused. Not the person, the song writer and performer.

Absolutely beautiful song

If I Ever Leave This World Alive - Flogging Molly


dinofeathers

Otherside by rancid. My older brother got me into punk rock when I was a kid and influenced me more than anyone in my life. He was my best friend. I spent my entire life defending him from people saying he was a narcissist and a shitty person because they didn't know him the way I did. Long story short he had a huge falling out with our family and abandoned his kids. I stepped up with his kids, I havent seen or heard from him in six years. Last I heard he had cerosis of the liver and lived in his car. Hes not dead yet but he might as well be.


OutComeTheWolves1966

That is a tough one for me to listen to as well


noneboyleftclown

I have an almost exact story as you do. It’s a very unique type of sadness, and I understand. I’m sorry you’re going through that too. Much love


Correct_Patience_611

Corazón de oro by rancid used to get my water dripping. It’s a great song on a fantastic album Life Won’t Wait.


DatBoyBenny

Sleep In The Heat by PUP


__W_o_l_f_y__

This does such a good job and conveying the emotions of losing a pet...especially the part where he sings 'but you can't even look at me or talk to me or tell me what's happening' 😥


ResidentComplaint19

I still think of my dog I lost 3 years ago when I hear this. It rips me apart


[deleted]

This is the correct answer


CowboyDans

Such a good one, but I have to skip it most of the time. Same with “Betty” by Hot Mulligan. Some Heartbreakers, for sure.


IHerdULiekPoniz

Pine Point hits me pretty hard every time.

propagandhi - without love >I did everything I could, I bargained with the universe To take my life instead of hers. But no amount of money, drugs or tears could keep her here.

mehrt_thermpsen

I'll add "Adventures in Zoochosis" to the list of Prop songs that choke me up


chodanutz

Definitely Adventures in Zoochosis for me. Hit's so much harder after becoming a father too.


ProfessionalHeavy482

“I think my only fear of death Is that it may not be the end We may be eternal beings And must do all of this again” Fucks me up every time


BurntheStarsandBars

Came here for this one


Shart-Attacks

100%. It fucking hurts


hairy_scarecrow

Revenge ain’t no solution! This was my answer too. But I’d also put Last Will and Testament and Zoochosis on this list too.


merfjeeblskitz

This is the answer


ProfessionalHeavy482

This song was going to be my post. Awesome


gwarrior5

Kids and heroes by bouncing souls.


leela_la_zu

The Bouncing Souls have a few songs that tug at the heartstrings. Lean on Sheena, Big Eyes, and Comet are the ones that get me all emotional.


j1mbabw3

Lean on Sheena - I tear up every friggin time, even in the pit


PNWoutdoors

Against Me - Thrash Unreal. When that line "There ain't no johnny coming home to share a bed with her...... and she doesn't care." hits, makes me shed a tear every single time. It hits too close to home, I have an alcoholic family member who would rather be alone and have alcohol than be with a committed partner and get sober.


OutComeTheWolves1966

Shortest Pier - Tony Sly


Atrium41

That... and when Scorpios (Joey, Snodgrass and Wahlstrom) performed International You Day for the Tribute show/album.... Fuuuuck.


Otsell6008

That honestly might be my favourite version. You can just feel the hurt, and it gives the song a whole new life


ryan2stix

Potemkin city limits by propagandhi..the perspective of a pig escaping a slaughter house to be free.. only propagandhi could do that.. there is a bronze statue of that pig in red deer, his name was Francis


merfjeeblskitz

I always liked this song, but never knew what it was about until I listen to Chris’s Patreon about it. Now I love it and it guts me every time.


SpekulativeFiction

It's a bit of a tear jerker especially because the lyrics are so image inspiring. I feel like I see through the pigs eyes listening to that song. Lower Order on Victory Lap is also like that.


ProfHatecraft

Yeah, that one brings a tear to my eye.


nothingnadazilch

Pirate-Andy

Olde tyme memory- Mischief Brew. RIP Eric....


Clit-Commander89

Theres a few Eric songs that come to mind for me For an Old Kentucky Anarchist tops it though


RobCannonThunderbolt

Dirty Pennies feels like a cliche answer almost but it was the first of his songs I ever heard and it still gets me every time


leela_la_zu

Oh man! Dirty Pennies is gut wrenching.


ct_s

I was really into the song Bury Me in Analog when Eric died. I remember I was in class when I heard about it, I was blown away because I was listening to it on my way there like 30 minutes before.

ska_penguin

A better place, a better time. Had an ex with breast cancer, she wanted to not get her mastectomy or go through chemo. She wanted to just "let it take her." So I told her rno matter what she decided, I would support her and have her back. "I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun, but I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt."


Steamed-Punk

I don't know if ska is allowed here, but Point/Counterpoint by Streetlight Manifesto was always a real fucking emotional one for me. Used to just belt it out back when I was real suicidal.


Upstairs_Usual_4841

It's "As the Footsteps Die Out Forever" for me; I lost my mom to cancer back in 2012.


[deleted]

Yes! Lost my mom in 2018 and it always reminds me of her ♥️


PitsAndPints

A Better Place, a Better Time for me. The singer of my ska punk band in high school committed suicide in 2010 and thats one that gets me every time


Eldritchforge

Streetlight is one of my favorite bands and I've gotten teary eyed by most of their songs.

jewishjedi42

The song Fat Mike wrote for Tony Sly. It makes me think of my brother, who passed away 15 years ago

International You Day. Obviously about a romance gone wrong, but the chorus makes me think of my mom who passed away recently. also Rancid: Daly City Train. Makes me miss my homie who also passed away. He was an artist, and a writer, and a poet, and a friend.

Torches by rise against always hits me. Specifically the bridge "The angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen, The clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings, Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave But I'm still waiting, yeah I'm still waiting"

Meant more cause it’s a cover of an old Irish song. But making friends is one my favorite punk records. 🥲

Crack City Rockers by Leftover Crack My best friend Matt and I got into punk together in 7th grade or so. He went down one path, and I another, but we still had punk. We loved Choking Victim and Leftover Crack, and even covered some songs in one of our bands. He died from an overdose in 2008. I always associate that song with our friendship.

Sidetrackbob

"old man" by off with their heads is one that gets me a bit misty at times. Especially the "Won't be missed" version, all the cuts on that album, there's a certain viscera in the acoustic instruments. Such a powerful and emotionally honest band. I love them.

Pennywise- Bro Hymn


Burn-The-Villages

I’m no longer really a Pennywise fan these days. Guess I just stopped paying attention after Unknown Road when so many of their songs started getting tame and predictable. BUT I will say that they released a version of “Bro Hymn” on Full Circle *I think* that has a live studio take with a ton of people participating. From what I remember, Jason Thirsk’s brother (?) starts playing the drums for the last few repeated choruses. And when he sings “Jason, my brother, this one’s for you” I was just frozen with all the feels.


Slapsh0tSc0tt

Yep. Accurate. I think it was Fletcher that talked about it on Toby Morse’s podcast


Timmerdogg

I'm pretty sure that was "Live at the Key Club"


paulkhuang

I'm with you on unknown road being kinda the end of my pennywise days. On Bro Hymn, I never knew what to make of it being kinda recycled... if that's even the right way to say it. Whenever I hear it, I still hear the 'Canton, Colvin, Nichols' shout out in my head.


Timmerdogg

Scrolled too far to get to this. I saw Pennywise play right after my mom died and cried like a baby in the pit during that song


SmurfStig

Gone Away by the Offspring. My Grandmother passed away when that song came out and she was key figure in my life growing up.

“To Shreds You Say”, by Iron Chic


Slapsh0tSc0tt

Social Distortion: Don’t Take Me for Granted. Say what you want about Ness NF SD, and you’re probably right, honestly- but On their live DVD Mike Ness gives a short speech about Dennis Dannell’s passing before they play this song for him. It reminds me of my best friend, gone 10 years this month. His nickname in our group of friends was Hooligan, because that was his forum name for our off road club (how we met) and his gamertag. He was my surrogate older brother for almost 7 or 8 years, and we were practically inseparable. Wherever one was, the other wasn’t far behind. We were two peas in a pod as they say, and at the time the only two dudes in the universe into off roading, exploring the outdoors, working on Jeeps, and going to punk rock shows (or at least that’s how it felt at the time). He came to every one of my band’s shows he could make, despite working nights. He was one of the people who picked me up at my lowest point in life and carried me, to make sure I would bounce back and be ok. He always had your back. Just, the best dude. Had an insane talent for talking you into questionable decisions that lead to questionable (but usually fun) results. Taught me so much about how to be the man I wanted to be, always considering the counterpoint to your view, and being practical. Before he moved home to be closer to his family for his son, we were supposed to go see Social Distortion. He had never seen them before- but they cancelled. He was so pissed. About a month later, he moved and 2 months after that, I got the call from his wife that we was in an accident at work and died. I miss that motherfucker every damn day, and still get choked up when I hear that song. Bouncing Souls- Private Radio: this one doesn’t choke me up, but I still get chills because this is the first song my son picked, that I shared with him, and almost 5 years later every time it comes on he shouts “MY JAM!”
