The uswithoutThem Podcast explores the musical output of one of the greatest bands of the 21st century: mewithoutYou. Hosts Nic Houle, Steven Eiler, and Joel Harrison each bring their love of mewithoutYou and some specific expertise to their song-by-song analysis of the mewithoutYou discography. Steven, a music theory educator and expert, breaks down the musical themes of each track and draws connections between songs and albums. Joel, a Ph.D. in religion with expertise in philosophy of religion and Christianity, explains the lyrical themes and the connections to and critiques of evangelical Christianity. Nic, a devoted mewithoutYou listener and Tolkien reader, ties these threads together with the perspective of the average mwY fan listening to the podcast.
Nic, Steven, and Joel discuss locust swarms and whether or not they could resemble the iconic "fish tower," cross-overs with "Torches Together" and "Bullet to Binary," a LOT of biblical references (Philippians 2, Psalms 121 and 137, Romans 8, Luke 13 and 19) and monks in farmer poverty.

Not since the instrumental tracks on [A-->B] Life have we spent so much time talking about so little! The Spider Songs are deceptively simple, and the guys try to unpack every little aspect of this first one.

Here we go, showin' off again, self-impressed by how well we can start a line of thinking and then jump from thought to thought, interrupting and starting again (music, philosophy, the Bible, music again, more philosophy, maybe some literature) not really at all like the absence of something but more like the inane ramblings of super fans for whom this simply goes on and on and on and--
Grab your black socks and white woolen locks, and join us as we become shadows on the flock!
As mentioned in the episode:
