Villagers – The Waves Lyrics 10 years ago
By Conor himself:
"(The Waves) was written after I saw some particularly distressing footage of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake in Japan. The song is simply an expression of how absolutely tiny we are in relation the world and the universe around us. It attempts to use an awareness of our fickle mortality as a guard against destructive and bigoted thought patterns with a view to obtaining a sort of absolute egolessness, I guess that would be the best way to put it."
