In This Camp Lyrics

Cover art for In This Camp lyrics by Midlake

this is one of the most heartwrenching, tearjerking songs I have ever heard.

the haunting bassoon parts are so perfect, too. but just everything about it feels so hopeless, exhausted, yet passive... I don't know, but it captures the emotion perfectly.

the story is so sad, and classic... man is at war, knows he's going to die, and is reminiscing about everything that he's going to have to leave, including his love for the militia's water(tea)girl, and he ponders the life that they COULD have had.
