Ben Howard – Small Things Lyrics 9 years ago
Yeah, I think for anybody that experiences anxiety/depression would agree this song is heavily rooted in it. How hard it can be to just "go with the flow" and feel the joy without something watering it down, without just generally being annoyed or exhausted from the many tedious tasks that sometimes life offers us. Not only the stress of your own personal anxieties, but the anxieties of the world around us can be downright annoying and daunting no doubt.

He's obviously questioning, is it me? is it as bad as I think it is? Or is it possibly the world the surrounds me?

'All these small things, they gather 'round me, gather 'round me
Is it all so very bad, I can't see?
All these small things, they gather 'round me, gather 'round me
And I can't see none'

Hello, anxiety, nice to meet you. Is it me or is it the absolute chaos that we live in. I cannot distinguish if I am the problem or THEY (the outside world)

This song to me in two words : Human Condition.

And by the way,

It's the bust takes hours, not the Bird stained towers. Anoooyyying. ;)
