Acoustic cover - Anthology by Thrice
This song is amazing on a couple different levels. First, it's just a beautiful song. Second, It's called "Anthology" because every line is an allusion to another one of their songs, so for someone like me who has loved Thrice since their beginnings, listening to this song is like a high speed roller coaster through some of my favorite moments of their musical career. Third, even though you get the sense (especially from the context of the many easter eggs) that it is more of a love song, you get the sense it was left sort of intentionally ambiguous whether this is a song Dustin wrote to his wife or to God, or more than likely both. Whenever I sing it, it's directed toward God—that's just how it feels right in my mind. Let me know your thoughts on it, and enjoy!
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Our life's built of tin cans and string
But the cornerstone laid is a wondrous and beautiful thing
Sure in the ground
And while the north wind has taken its toll
You have helped me to find my way back and to anchor my soul
Safe in the sound
[Chorus]
Oh, you know me
Oh, and I know you
And I know that
We can see this through
[Verse 2]
I bragged of baring my bones
Said if we heard the howling I'd run out to face it alone
To meet it halfway
But I've still got badges to earn
So keep sifting my soul cause I think that I'm starting to learn
To love you that way
[Chorus]
Oh, you know me
Oh, and I know you
And I know that
We can see this through
[Bridge]
It's true that you could snap my neck
But I trust you'll save my life instead
Cause our love is a loyalty sworn
If we hold to our hope
Then I know we can weather the storm
Whatever they say
Come what may
[Chorus]
Oh you know me
Oh and I know you
And I know that
We can see this through
