i don't even know what to say about this song besides the fact i find it so calming and melancholic. the music itself accompanied by the tone of his voice during the whole song speaks volumes more than I can say about it. i love the begining, it sounds like floating in a very deep tank, or weightlessness in those planes they use for preparing for space flight.

"I'll lend you two hundred quid for a flight across the ocean maybe things will look better there because they couldn't be much worse,"

strangely, that REMINDS me of a dream of mine. i always think of it meaning that this person made him forget all of his dreams and plans for the future he thought he would have with her, and now due to circumstances he's watching all of those dreams die, and he can feel himself forgetting how he ever was able to have that much hope in the first place.
