    The guitarist is seriously master of tension, the band somehow finds a way to accent every word Jordan speaks so eloquently bursting with emotion. Every chord and minor scale they utilize suits the aggression and anxiety so well. They sound so tight and so crisp live and that’s how you know they’re a good band. This song is so heart wrenching and yet so soothing somehow.

    "I've never spent a lot on finding a remedy. I guess I figured that it hurt for a reason, I guess that's why I've always turned to writing it down. Not just in stories, but the letters in between."

    i'm drunk, and hanging out with my best bro near 2 in the morning the day after his birthday. this song means the most to both of us and im so god damn thankful for the sound wave that this makes for us. La dispute's creativity in words really connects with our friendship and what we have been through. I remember in the recent(ish) show that la dispute had at ATL at the masquerade....we both told each other we had sweat and tears mixed with our skin cells when he started "A Letter" off. I can't express it enough that the pain, the happiness, the sorrow, the strength we feel with LA dispute's portrayal of "feelings" we really take to heart. forgive me im 10+ shots in at my 2 best friends birthdays, so if i dont make much sense, i apologize. we have jack daniels and hypnotize at our disposal. and we're reflecting on our frioendship and love for music and people in general, its somewhere around 2 in the morning we've been drinking and having a fun time with vudei games and music since 9pm(ish). I can't thank La Dispute enough for the strength and love they have helped us grow. Everyone who has commented on this and has shown/expressed their love, I'm here for you and hope you are doing great!! random as fuck i know, im kind of a "nobody" who has been around youtube for as long as its been around but has an account thats no where near as old as it should be because i used to suck at keeping emails intact and stuff.
    We are all beautiful in our own way and everyone of you who thoroughly enjoys them even the slightest i hope your future is bright and im here for in any way possible...including the ones who dislike them, i hope for you to eventually understand the heart that is truly visible in each and every one of their songs.
    forgive my long post im wasted beyond comparison and have struggled to keep a read-able comment for everyone. Me and my best friend have been letting out emotions and talking to each other. A well needed talk, I encourage all who have interest in them to truly feel their hearts and know the direction of their personal symphony to have help in figuring out who they really are. You are beautiful, I believe in you and so does everyone of La Dispute, the only limit you have is the border of your imagination.

    Everybody wants a reason for everything.
    It’s so much easier with someone or something to blame.
    I’ve always struggled at the root of the problem.
    Has it been absence or my constant lack of defense?
    I’ve never spent a lot on finding a remedy.
    I guess I figured that it hurt for a reason.
    I guess that’s why I’ve always turned to writing it down.
    Not just in stories, but the letters in between.
    And I guess that’s why it haunts the pages of everything-
    to self-examine.
    I think the thing is that I shut off from everything.
    From friends and family and my own ambitions.
    From having fun.
    I just shut off from everything.
    Self-defeating? Yeah, probably.
    But I don’t know that I had total control over it.
    And I’m not sure it even matters why.
    Sometimes things happen and you can’t do anything.
    Plus, I’m the only one who deals with it anyway.
    So if everyone could do me a favor and
    just put their fingers down
    I’d-and keep your mouths-
    Sorry. I know I seem angry.
    I’m not, I…I promise. I just know I did this to me.
    And I will deal with it accordingly.
    And I don’t need opinions from those never a part of it.
    Don’t need them pointing out my problems, they’re mine.
    Don’t need reminders, I know better than anyone.
    And yeah, I know, I should be finding another way.
    I know that I should be out seeking a substitute.
    But just forgetting never really made sense to me.
    So I haven’t been.
    Do I feel embarrassed about it?
    I think you know the answer to that.
    I think you’d probably feel a little bit embarrassed for me,
    wouldn’t you?
    I know I should’ve moved on ages ago, been happy already,
    but it’s never been that easy for me.
    Or maybe it was me that made it so hard.
    I know I’ve only ever tried a handful of times
    to sever this thing torturing me.
    It never got me anywhere, with anyone.
    No friendship or hobby, no lover’s bed worked.
    But looking back I maybe never tried hard enough,
    and it is my fault.
    Maybe I never tried at all
