This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
On this hill top
I buried you
As a younger man
We gathered 'round
Your empty husk
And spoke of how you were so loved
And as the sun died
I promised that I'd seek you out
Well now the years have weathered me
And soon I'll claim you for my arms again
And if our hearts all disappear
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
Well all our love will rise again
And if our hearts all disappear
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
And all our love will rise again
And we'll float to the sea
And if our hearts all disappear
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
And all our love will rise again
And we'll float to the sea
I buried you
As a younger man
We gathered 'round
Your empty husk
And spoke of how you were so loved
And as the sun died
I promised that I'd seek you out
Well now the years have weathered me
And soon I'll claim you for my arms again
And if our hearts all disappear
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
Well all our love will rise again
And if our hearts all disappear
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
And all our love will rise again
And we'll float to the sea
And if our hearts all disappear
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
And all our love will rise again
And we'll float to the sea

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is such a beautiful melody. i love it 2 thirds of the way through when the drums and the violins come in - woooooooo. Stunning wee song.
