I Guess I'll Forget the Sound, I guess, I guess

this song is amazing. i have no clue, but I believe that it's about someone who wants to be with someone that isn't the best person. this person has been suffering for a while, and this new relationship doesnt quite make everything better? i have no idea.

beutiful, beautiful song. i wish i knew what they meant. the sound...the sound...the sound of breaking hearts? who's hearts? this song would be awesome if it was about a people group effected by some disatser, like the holocaust, but i dont think it is.

whose**

To me, its basicly that at the beginning shes talking of one of her loves, and when she says I can't hear the sounds million hearts beating together as one, its like shes oblivious to everything around her since she can't hear them, but when it says a million hearts beating together as one, its like shes strayed from normal, like everyone goes about there day basicly as normal but when she finds this guy everything is different.

and when its talking about when the night is done and dawn has come, its like all good things must end and when he leaves or it ends her cheeks are wet with tears but she will let the new day dry them off.

the next verse is talking about how even though time passes and your heart mends and you get over it, you are still affected by it and never will completely forget.

I'm not sure about the next verse, but I get the feeling thats its taking about how itwas normal but boring before and then after she just wants to embrace him again kind of .

and the sound as they broke it was fearsome is basicly when the relationship ended, and it was fearsome because she didn't know what was going to happen next kind of. I'm not sure about the open arms part. there is a noise that is taking place verse, to me its taking about how you still feel the affects after the breakup and it kinda consumes yuo, hence the sum of its parts a white noise sure as the sun, because everything is different and your still not sure

the next verses is kinda of like shes seen this guy again, and its like now that I've found yo udear the light has lost to me you see. that all the memories come back and its all she sees. and the noisestrays from memory is like shes kept it in check but it just strays out.

I guess I'll forget the sound is basicly the meaning that I guess I"ll have to forget and theres nothing much to do but let it heal/my cheeks will dry off in the sun

the correct 4th verse is as follows

Before the day that i first touched your face or the roar of these things filled my ears Then i embraced you and made hardly deaf to just hear our breath as we breathe

From the booklet:

Dear when I touch your face I can no longer hear The sound of a million hearts Beating together as one

And when the night is gone And when the dawn has come I will take the daylight on My cheeks will dry off in the sun

Though my heart once was broke, it's been mended And the sting of the fracture has ended But still the sound of the hearts that are breaking And boots that are knocking pervades

Before the day that I first touched your face Oh, the roar of these things filled my ears Then I embraced you and (made partly deaf) I could just hear our breath as we breathed

Up 'til that day I could hear them And the sound as they broke, it was fearsome That was until your arms opened up wide And the treasure therein was made mine

There is a noise that is taking their place In the hollow of my inner ear It is far more than the sum of its parts A white noise as warm as the sun

Now that I've found you dear Their plight has lost immediacy And now that I've touched your face The noise fades from memory I guess we'll forget the sound I guess, I guess My cheeks will dry off in The sun, the sun I guess we'll forget the sound I guess, I guess

this song is amazing. to me, the title of the song makes me think of lovers, the sound of breath, etc, but is the song actually about that? i don't know. maybe. i don't care. what i do care about is this song nearly moves me to tears if i'm in the right spot in my head, and that is incredible. good job, bodies of water, you have made me your bitch.

This song has always seemed very sad to me.

I just put up a tab on ultimate-guitar.com if anybody wants to play it.
