Lyrics:
Untrained you never shut up
Needs keep you empty
Freedom spins you out of control
'Til someone chokes you with a chain
(chokes you with a) chain
(chokes you with a) chain
Learn to be paranoid
Fear pulls my strings, too
Oh what a lack of trust can do
For broken-hearted youth
(broken-hearted) youth
(broken-hearted) youth
(broken-hearted) youth
(broken-hearted)
I'm sorry I hurt you
Please don't leave me on my knees
We had a simple understanding, didn't we? Didn't we?
All consumed and convinced as ever
But where were you?
Tease my guilt but please me still
All the others just disgust me
Too simple to trust me
Too dull to engage, too shallow to please me
It would be so easy to please me
What happened on Christmas night in Lowell?
Maybe Simon would like to tell us what happened.
Use your...imagination.
Peter…was naughty
God, this song at the end of Session 9 is one of the most perfect things ever.
"I'm sorry I hurt you, please don't leave me." Perfectly captures the ending where Gordon is weeping into his broken phone begging his wife he murdered for her forgiveness as he touches the picture of his dead baby with his bloody fingers.
"I live in the weak and the wounded"
ETthe Lost1 “I live in the weak and wounded...Doc”
I’m a “Doc”.
That line still haunts me to to this day.
@@msmeyersmd8 agreed. It's a short and harsh word.
"Why did you do it, Simon?"
"Because Mary let me, doc...they always do...they always do."
Session 9 was terrific!
Agreed.
IKR? No one else I've shown it to even likes it. I used to watch it every night before bed so I could fall asleep to it.
Itzi_Bitzi_Mitzi It is unfortunately one of the heavily underrated movies.
You guys heard? Scream Factory is putting it on bluray.
Fucks yeah! Yet another reason I love Scream Factory.
That movie was amazing. And this song at the end delivers chills.
I forgot how much I love this song. Maybe it’s my obsession with session 9, but I love this song! I don’t usually listen to softer music but the lyrics are stunning and I almost feel like it’s about DID/MPD, like discussed in the movie. Like some dark other personality.
Hey my friend, I am also obsessed with Session 9. This song is "soft" but with the lyrics, as you pointed out, and context of the movie, it is as the movie is: sad and tragic.
For me the song really hits when the music changes preceeding the lyrics "I'm sorry I hurt you, please don't leave me..." That is the crux of Session 9.
Gordon has not properly handled his stress, family life, mental illness, and business, and the movie starts at the end stage of poor decisions.
He hurt his family, cannot accept it, and begs for forgiveness from the dead. Sad and tragic.
I remember several months after I first saw Session 9, I was at a bonfire party in a friend's backyard, and nearly everybody there claimed to have seen ghosts. So I spent most of that night sitting by the fire, and listening to these people (most of whom were strangers) talk about their paranormal experiences, and it reminded me of Session 9, and this song kept going through my head the whole time.
What a haunting soundtrack to end a perfectly haunting movie! Thank You Session 9!
Thank you for sharing this song...🌼
Do it, Gordon.
PhattyMcBoomBoom Open you eyes Gordon. Wake up Gordon
@@liamnolan8396 Why did you do it Simon!?
Who's Yani?
Thumbs up if you discovered this from session 9!
this song is the best part of session 9!
"Mary needed someone to help her. So I introduced myself.."
Yes it is the perfect end track for session 9. Haunting, and stirring.
Lovin' this song.
LoL, I was looking for this after sesh 9, song fits in so well
brokenhearted youth.
Thanks, love to hear this solo Barlow stuff.
Session 9 brought me here
@alice1cmd A little?! :P I'm still thinking about it, I seen it months ago... :P
Epic film.
Hey, alice1cmd here. I googled my old nickname. Thanks for reminding me of this movie. Will rewatch. How about you? 😊
thanks bro.
and who is simon?
Is Simon a 'who' or a 'what'? I've always thought of him as an a part of human psychology.
Simon Magus...
I personally gravitate toward the possessing-demon theory, given that Gordon's "Simon" and the one on the tape have the same voice and M.O.
Plus, the perfect lining up of circumstances makes the lore seem like one of the more demonologically informed horror stories out there. (One big possible example in particular sticks out to me. Some other fans have pointed out that in that main Hobbes family photo, child Mary's facial features greatly resemble Gordon's.)
But ofc, disease has long been attributed to demonic influence; so I don't find the two main theories abt Simon's origin to be mutually exclusive.
@@reguluspastor I have no idea who Simon is?!
@@aaronjboysreleasing2001 He/it is the name given to Mary's violent personality in the film.
If you follow one theory, then it's the name of a supernatural entity that possesses people in a weakened and vulnerable mental state. It essentially does what they could never bring themselves to do - killing, etc.
This theory was originally in the film itself but was excised in editing to leave things open to interpretation.
Another theory, one I tend to go with personally, is that Simon is used merely to put a voice to something that can happen to people in similar states. I think that for the sake of narrative simplicity, they just used the Simon voice with Gordon to avoid adding another voice to potentially confuse audiences.
0:58- "I trained you to never shut up"..
'Til someone chokes you with a chaaaiiinn! xD
Session 9
Does anyone know what tuning this is played in?
downtuned to standard C
can someone tell me the lyrics of this song pleaseeeeeeee
i can't understand every word he says...so help me
thanksssssss
has anyone uploaded "high school"
can anyone play this on guitar? can't find tabs online :/
Its in DADGAE, stumbled across that by accident. Ive worked out up until 1.50. The single note/double note lines are easy towards the beginning, when the lyrics kick in its [10]x[10]900, 9x9700, 7x7500. Or its in DADGAD but you dont play the high D for the above chords. Either way sounds good.
Barely 3 mins? The length of this song needs to be doubled...
drop d, dude
I've watched Session 9 dozens of of times since I discovered it in 2008. How I loved, and still love, the outstanding plot, acting, shooting location, and that feeling of dread I enjoyed. But now, it just makes me sad thinking about Gordon's kind, loving persona and the vast devastation of a single impulsive act. And the dread that I feel when I watch it is almost unbearable. Never have I ever found another movie like this.
I just rewatched it. I watched it with my husband back when it came out & I don't remember being all that impressed with it. Which is really weird, because this time I watched it, it was like a totally different movie. I remembered the plot but I couldn't remember how it ended. This time it seemed a lot more haunting & surreal. I could _swear_ there were things in it this time that were not in the movie the first time I watched it, I'm wondering if they cut things out and this one I just downloaded had stuff added back in or something. Although it could entirely be a case of me not remembering shit from 19 years ago. LOL
It's kinda sad they destroyed most of the hospital some years later...should have been restored.
@@xeokym223 it truly is amazing how much you notice watching it again. I was just thinking about Hank's talk with Jeff about how asbestos gets in your lungs, incubates, then BOOM death... exactly like stress, which gets the best of Gordon, the "Zen master of calm".
I visited Danvers a few years ago after the reconstruction. It is a shame, but the shell of the main building is being used and remember the outdoor steps Gordon walks down? They are still there!
"What are you doing here?"
Mary Rose, "Soo, did u score on ah' scratch er' what?"
"In the weak and wounded,because they let me".Love that.
talk about a mood setter :)
Hello Gordon.
@csisession9 Yeah, I immediately fell in love with this song the first time I heard it!
I just needed to listen to this song right now. One of my fav.
I saw Lou several times at the Lounge Axe in Chicago, and bought this at one of his shows. I don't know about anyone out there, but to me this is so beautifully homoerotic. His cover of "Run to me" by Bryan Adams is stunning, a re-imagination of the lyric for men.
This song, although beautiful, gains it's beauty from it Somber Dirge-like sound. Like a song to hang One's Self to. It reminds me that my best years are now lost to me. My youth spent, I am ensnared in the event horizon of Obliteration. So sei es.
@infinitesimotel Yep dude so did I, totally agree with you. I searched for this song after seeing ses9 :)
He's saying "poor broken-hearted you" instead of "for broken-hearted youth."
There's no "th" sound no matter how hard you listen.
I didn't transcribe the lyrics personally, merely copied what's available through the internet. If there's an inaccuracy, it is what it is.
Yeah, I've seen it elsewhere too. I'm trying to hear it. I really am ;_;
Corpseplower is A cracking name
great song
wt,,,this is NOT SCARY
Nobody said it was supposed to be.
"Untrained you never shut up, needs keep you empty, freedom spins you out of control, till someone chokes you with a chain".
is he singing about his dog?
Christ, I don't even want to know what show these guys are from
Other way around, this track was licensed out for use in a film.
Sun Ra might illuminate them!!!
its... my song... :p
Session 9 😄
dinosaur jr.
I fell asleep during session 9 and woke up in a dream like state just as the end credits started playing this song. Listening to this song in that hazey dream like state, not quite being awake or asleep and not knowing what was even real was one of the weirdest feeling experiences I've ever had.
Lmao I can totally see that. I've had that experience before too.
Bruh me too
