Now that our ties are served
As we wave goodbye
Let us not wonder whether
We are ready to take the dive

Let it dive,
let it die,
let it fade out of sight
Let it drag us down,
let it fade

Grieve, but not grieve together
Mourn with nothing to say
Gone are those times forever
Lost are those sweet warm other days

Let it dive,
let it die,
let it fade out of sight
Let it drag us down,
let it come between you and I

Let it dive,
let it die,
let it fade

Where we born to despair?
Deeds done but not forgiven
There will always be something there
As long as one of us goes on living

Let it dive,
let it die,
let it fade out of sight
Let it drag us down,
let it come between you and I

What is done is done,
no reason to apologize

Let it dive,
let it die,
let it fade

I do admit that you might expect a band with a name like this to be a little more "rockin."

Long ago i read an article about this band , allegedly their band name was inspired by Alejandro Jodorowski movie.

Ok, this isn't great/innovative/inspired/inspiring or the like. But at least it's far better than anything that ever came from U2.
Posted 2 years ago by sb204    [ Reply ]
This cut is atypical and is not how the band usually sounds.  That being said, it's still awesome.  Try their album Tao of The Dead, you'll like it.

Scary thing is that I just realized I own another one of this band's albums, which I must have listened to no more than twice after buying it some seven years ago now...

Thought it was Smashing Pumpkins. Glad it's not. I like this song - it's fitting in quite nicely with my controlled-hysteria mood (long story, not worth posting.)  I'm giving it a 7 for now, but I suspect next time I hear it, I'll bump it to an 8. Especially if the toilet works (uh, part of that long story, and not in any way reflecting on this song, the artist, or RP in general.)

Why do we not have a facepalm icon??

Not as interesting as the title of the album its from.  Conjures memories of discussions about Cradle of Filth for any IT crowd fans out there.

I really like And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. I gave this a 9.  There's a rhapsodic quality to their music that I find almost uplifting.

I really like the album. Actually I got into it for the last 3-4 songs on it. Sometimes Bill plays them straight through and they work really well as a complete set. Some great music, from my perspective.

So, this sounds like a band trying to sound like Oasis, who was a imitation of the Beatles, who - for various reasons - I'm not fond of to begin with. Imitation is not always flattery, sometimes it's just flat.

I can't hear this song without thinking of EA Sports' "MVP Baseball 2005." Why? Because this was always the first tune that cranked up when you loaded the main menu. It's not that it's a bad song, but man I grew tired of hearing it.

This is my first ever post in the RP forums although I've been listening for years. I wanted to talk about one of my favorite bands. The Trail of Dead is quite good. I own their collection and hold their Source Tags and Codes CD in my top ten, along with things like Dylan, The Beatles, Zeppelin, and Miles Davis. Check out an album to see how diverse they can be.
