Cursive Lyrics

I like the ugly organ album. I bought the new one; I havent listened to it yet. =x

-gasp-
i knew there had to be one other fan here =)
Happy Hallow was good.. but it took me a while to get used to it
and for some reason i cant listen to it a lot like the other ones.
i like the other ones more like domestica, burst and bloom, ugly organ

btw, tim kasher has another band called "the good life"
theyre really good too.
love 'em both <3

I was supposed to give this band a listen a while ago. Never happened.
ah-ha, I like the cover for The Ugly Organ, though. 'Tis cool.

Wanna suggest a song for... if I ever get around to listening?

saddle creek rocords? the same indie record company as bright eyes? (hes one of my favs).

cursive sounds familiar, but never got around to listening to it. like ace said, recommend us some songs.

Cursive are fantastic.

happy hollow is awesome

I saw them live a few months ago and I was really impressed, I had high expectations anyways. Some songs I personally like are: Sierra, The Recluse (everyone's favorite), Art is Hard, The Lament of Pretty Baby etc etc. I think its Tim Kasher, but one of the members of cursive is married to one of the duo of Azure Ray. just random knowledge.

i stopped listening to them after the cello left.

yup i would say those songs too
Sierra
The Recluse
Art is Hard
The Lament of Pretty Baby
The Great Decay

i think they're a bit too loud for my tastes, but i liked "after the movies" immediately when i first listened to it.

well i'm not really fan of thier older stuff like 'after the movies.' i only like their music post Domestica.
you should give Sierra and The Recluse a try since theyre not 'loud'
i think you would like those songs since theyre very.. calm? not sure how to describe it

edit: and maybe, At Conception and Into the Fold

i nearly own all cursive's stuff. they're absolutely brilliant, i want them to come down to australia. my favourite album will have to be the ugly organ.

wow I did not know that...
I love Cursive - I think the first album I heard was domestica? I was obssessed with The Casualty for a while, I don't think I could ever get sick of it
The Rhyme Scheme, The Great Decay, The Martyr, Sucker & Dry, A Gentleman Caller, The Recluse...

I'm probably biased but I think any band from SC are worth the listen.

I remember listening to them in 8th grade....they're still my favorite up until today =D never get sick of their music. A lot of their songs are "most played" on my ipod har har.

Favorite songs?
Driftwood
The Recluse
May Flowers
Bloody Murderer
Sinner's Serenade
