Fortune Lyrics

Cover art for Fortune lyrics by Midlake

To me, this song is about being able to get through anything in life as long as you have someone with you, and fellowship with others. A simplicity to life that is beautiful when shared.

Oh I also meant to say, this is the most beautiful song on the album and the most beautiful song I've heard in a long time.

A truly amazing song and a most under appreciated album of this year in my opinion...beautiful melodies, amazing lyrics and pitchfork magazine still hates it. Go figure. Also to me, this song is about you can't get anywhere in life on your own, its not a solo journey, but a journey filled with joy and laughter with other people, and maybe a spiritual one too. This will reap the fortune of a good life...

I had to check the pitchfork rating after I saw that...figured they'd have given it a 6 or something since you'd indicated they didn't like it. But a 3.6? Pitchfork are hit or miss with me, I only use them as a guide to which new albums are being released rather than guidance on what I should listen to
