Just a role you play That you could hide behind Is it what you want? To bury yourself away Before your time goes I don't want a love that holds us back I don't want a life that I can't have 'Cause people need a melody to open their eyes Like a key to a memory frozen in time Holding onto everything, you're stuck in the past Boy, when you gonna learn the world moves fast? So pick yourself up, kid I can't bare the weight Let the light back in 'Cause you've been walking blind Now it's all on you Don't you let it fade Before your time goes I don't want a love that holds us back I don't want a life that I can't have 'Cause people need a melody to open their eyes Like a key to a memory frozen in time Holding onto everything, you're stuck in the past Boy, when you gonna learn the world moves fast? The world moves It's been a little while since we've been together It's been a long time since we were young and wild, remember? When we were friends, remember?

I don't know if you copied and pasted or whether you transcribed these lyrics ... I only want to point out that the form of "bear" here is bear ... Bear the weight of the world, Grin and bear it, etc. I am not trying to nitpick or come off as a know it all, I just wanted to let you know because there really are people on the internet who will nitpick and judge on the most insignificant thing. It isn't a big deal to me personally, I just wanted to let you know in case that kind of thing matters to you. Thank you for adding the lyrics. I always like to read along as they sing ! Namaste

I have all sorts of feeling listening to this song! Happy. Sad. Uplifted. Emotional. I want to cry for no reason other than it's very sentimental. Amazing song!

How long should we hold on? this song had me crying in the middle of a three hour drive. before i just liked the song bc it was pretty never thought itd be relevant to me:/
@@neroncorona6162 So i guess you shouldn't hold on at all if the person doesn't value you and make you cry for a 3 hours drive... Hope you'll be okay 🖤
Listening to this beautiful and poignant song almost three years since its release has been cathartic and uplifting for me. It has given me a hopeful reset following a troubled period of loss, lost time, and disconnection from family and friends. I hope it can be a positive reset for others that need one now too.
Thank you for reminding me to live the life with melody! This is actualy the first time i listen to a song that makes me remember my friend and the time when i was young (and wild probably), which then brings me instantly to the memory i made when i was younger. i am not old relatively, but the pressure and time-demand from work makes me think it's not the time but yeah, it's never too late. Thanks for The melody!
Although their 2nd album was a solid progression made while they were touring non-stop for several years, & being exposed to lots of other ways to create new sounds, I remember telling Tyler that that first album was the most complete, most important album I'd heard since coldplay's first release back around 2000 or so. By the time the 2nd album came out, I already knew & had seen them perform about 1/2 the songs on it. I think both the original & let's be still were seminal moments, monuments that will stand the test of time. But I'm really, truly pumped for this new stuff. It definitely seems like a progression from album 2 to album 4, whereas album 3 seemed a little outside of the early vibes that made them so great. It was still awesome music, it just didn't feel in line with their natural progression. It was their first album on the bigger label, tho, so I'm sure the label & producers had something to do with that.
I am in absolute and complete love with this track . . . I’ve got it on constant repeat. Long time fan & this is up there high already. Y’all amaze me. Bravo.
All their music somehow brings out the sadness inside me, I don't know why. I was listening to this song and petting my cat and felt like I could have started crying. A few weeks ago, I was listening to their songs all day at work and started tearing up at my desk. Does this happen to anyone else?
Stumbled on you guys today and I’m so glad that I did. Listened to every album this afternoon at work in my own little world. Can’t remember the last time a band made me want to do that. Gained a new fan today for sure. Thanks for the music
To me this is the best song from their new album, and the one that most resembles their older work. Too bad they didn't play it when I watched them live
@@brockatgmail Of Monsters And Men! They're an Icelandic rock band, I'm pretty sure you have heard something about them (Sorry about my English, it isn't good 😅)
I love this song. My dad and sister saw y'all in Austin at Stubbs and y'all are amazing. This song is like top ten fav songs ever :) Y'all will be remembered with the likes of Simon Garfunkel. I guarantee it. Keep making good music. Please stay folk genre :)
The new songs are great but may I suggest to you all listening to go check out the video of them on kexp with just Jonathan, Josiah and Charity. That shit is fantastic and never gets old. Harmonies are soooo good. Really miss that sound with just them.
Imagine blasting this while driving home just as the sun sets, screaming the chorus and feeling nostalgic for memories you don't even have.
This is exactly what I wanna do
This song helped save my life today. Thanks guys. From the bottom of my heart.
Hope your doing well!
How are you?
You are not alone
Pick yourself up, kid
I can't bare the weight
Pick your mood up, friend
We don't have the time
When you find someone
We don't run away
Pick yourself up, kid
All those books in your head
Is that all this really was?
Just a role you play
That you could hide behind
Is it what you want?
To bury yourself away
Before your time goes
I don't want a love that holds us back
I don't want a life that I can't have
'Cause people need a melody to open their eyes
Like a key to a memory frozen in time
Holding onto everything, you're stuck in the past
Boy, when you gonna learn the world moves fast?
So pick yourself up, kid
I can't bare the weight
Let the light back in
'Cause you've been walking blind
Now it's all on you
Don't you let it fade
Before your time goes
I don't want a love that holds us back
I don't want a life that I can't have
'Cause people need a melody to open their eyes
Like a key to a memory frozen in time
Holding onto everything, you're stuck in the past
Boy, when you gonna learn the world moves fast?
The world moves
It's been a little while since we've been together
It's been a long time since we were young and wild, remember?
When we were friends, remember?
When we were lovers
It's not too late, it was never too late
People need a melody to open their eyes
To a memory frozen in time
Holding onto everything, you're stuck in the past
Boy, when you gonna learn the world moves fast?
People need a melody to open their eyes
To a memory frozen in time
I don't want a love that holds us back
I don't want a life that I can't have
I don't want a love that holds us back

I love that the lyrics could literally be taken as a dialogue between one's head and heart because... you know :P
Right ??? You are right on. ✌
What is it really about? I can't really tell what they mean
Superbly wonderful actually. A+, amirite?
I have all sorts of feeling listening to this song! Happy. Sad. Uplifted. Emotional. I want to cry for no reason other than it's very sentimental. Amazing song!
Thanks for sharing with us.
These songs make my heart so happy!
"People Need A Melody" debuted at #22 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
Song helped me during sad moments
Very clever lyrics. Very moving melody. And oh, thanks for giving us some folk-sy music again!
People need a melody to open their eyes
To a memory frozen in time
Holding onto everythin', you're stuck in the past

I don't want a love that holds us back
I don't want a life that I can't have
I don't want a love that holds us back
It's a massage from the divine thank you for delivering it 😭🌻
this song gives me feelings I don’t get from anything else. happy, loved, at home, content
thank you for giving it to me
this song feels so old school and wholesome :')

So good guys! This one is more of a return to form in my opinion! Reminds me of the first album
Hope more of them are like this
Yeah me too

What a beautiful song. They always deliver, but this is absolutely exceptional.
Colin Ramsay I agree. I’m just standing here w me jaw on the floor and I love everything they do, have seen them live, etc. just wow.
Instant classic!
This is the first time I have heard this song. There is something so special about this masterpiece of music. Incredible.

I heard this song in Starbucks
I wish there were lyrics
Song starts at 0:15.
Why do people need a melody?
I wish I could dislike this more than once. Sorry I work nights and this song plays all the time!!!! It's become quite the nuisance for me.
