I had this on my bike ride playlist and used to crank the shit out of it. And on several mix CDs in my little blue Honda civic si when I was 27 😂 good times!
" Louise S. If goosebumps and white knuckles gripping a steering wheel while crying had a song... This is the song. This is the soulful song." This was my first exp with this song it came on the radio at the right / wrong time. I just found out I was being divorced while driving home from the Airport.
Almost every man can relate to these lyrics. A woman you love slipping out of your hands and you are utterly powerless to prevent it. You can rage and cry but knowing none if it will make a difference. 'you just have to see her, you just have to see her'...like it's the only thing that will keep you breathing. Amen to that.
I feel my soul change forever when that happened to me. I was forever changed. Not better not worse but just different. In the mere reality that I could never go back prior to this pain is a whole hurting in itself
I watched the several years ago in Chattanooga and if I remember right some asshole broke into their van and stole their equipment. They went and bought new equipment at a local store and still performed that night.
Bro, I'm 35 and this still reminds me of the one who got away. I'll never forget being at Panera and hearing this song and the waves of emotions I didn't realize I'd feel one day when it crossed my feed, like tonight.
We've all had, or will have at least one obsessive, toxic relationship in our lifetime that everyone but you knows is just no good. Quitting this person can be like kicking a drug addiction; paranoia, anxiety, depression, even sweats, chills and nausea. And like a drug, even though it's poisoning you can make you feel more alive than anything else in the world.
Jason Walter Perfectly said Jason. I couldn’t agree more. And what a great song. I haven’t seen my one in three years now but I still dream about him, more so since lockdown started. The band name really caught my eye by the way...I arrived here via a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song.
I get why this has 15 1:04 million views. But this band has so much much more to offer. Please dig deeper Into their full catalog. One of the most underrated bands ever.
The lyrics are visceral. This is a trauma that every human can relate to. It rips your heart out and you can FEEL the lyrics. Also it's refreshing to see the comment section full of men being open about the song.
Your right.I'm a guy and I've felt inclined/entitled to feel it MORE. But your right In your own comment: "This is a trauma that every Human can relate to" As R.E.M said: "Everybody Hurts"
I don't know about that. Human emotion is an incredibly awesome thing, oftentimes only fully appreciated in hindsight. Heartbreak is horrible in the moment, but my god does it make you feel more than you ever have. It's so weird that you feel like you could die, and yet those emotions are the most electrifying feeling.
When you hear a song that melts away 40 years of life and takes you back to those precious four or five years in your mid-20s...to your first true love....you know you've found not a good song, not a great song, not an epic song.....but a song that is LEGENDARY.
That’s because Mikel was in a serious on/off relationship for a while. A few of his songs are about that… so, yeah, palpable anger.” I’ve been to two shows with TATE in small venues and I loved every minute. I happened to hear them on Jay Leno before they recorded this song and I’ve been a fan ever since.
When I first heard this tune, my life was falling apart. On top of that, I was madly in love with a woman, which I gotta believe it’s what this song is about. I would drink myself to sleep night after night listening to this song. I could feel myself being pulled into the video. Life goes on and time heals all, but all it takes is a few ounces of good bourbon and this song and it puts me right back in that time.
Really missing driving these days. There’s nothing better than being on your lonesome with the volume cranked up and belting out this beautie. Let’s hope we’re over this nightmare soon
Funny you commented this... I decided to do one of those dumb challenges on Instagram stories... 30 days of songs. I chose this song as “a song to drive to”
Anthony Jennett I so hope so Anthony. And I totally agree about belting out a song like this as you’re driving along. I stumbled onto this song because the band’s name caught my eye. TH-cam recommended it to me after I’d been listening to an old Yeah Yeah Yeahs song and it’s a new favourite already - gets you in the 💔...
I know nobody cares, but this song is so unbelievably powerful to me. The love of my life left me and got engaged to someone else a few short months after we broke up. That was right around the time I discovered this band. I'm in a really great relationship now that I see going to marriage and for life, but watching this video made me feel everything I did before. It's a strange feeling to love a song so much even though it makes you cry about something that happened so far in the past. I get to see these guys tomorrow night in Milwaukee. Hopefully I don't cry in front of a bunch of strangers when they play this one..
You're not alone. This song came out at a perfect time for me, when I was going through the hardest time in life. The music is beautiful and the words fit perfect to what happened to me. Every once in a while, I will need to listen to it and let it all out. Tonight was one of those nights.
I know those feels. This came out around the time my first fiancee split but I was constantly seeing her around. Every word of this song resonated with me. This song may have been one of the few things that pushed off the syicide attempt for so long.
I come back to this song so often. I'm not even experiencing heartbreak and haven't in years but this song is just SO good it makes me long for that FEELING again
Me too!!!! I first heard this song many years ago on the radio while driving through Houston and I was balling so bad that I had to pull my car over!! But, unfortunately they never said the name of the song or who it was by! So, that was it! I heard possibly the best love loss song ever written and I would never hear it again, which made me cry more. Fast forward to a few months ago and I was looking for the song Goodbye Horses from Silence Of The Lambs, but instead of the original song coming up first, it was a cover by some crazy named band I never heard of called The Airborne Toxic Event. With a band name like that I had to click on it and see how it was. To my absolute delight, their cover was, in my opinion, better than the original. So, I looked through the rest of their playlist and saw this song. It had millions of views so I clicked on it and was absolutely thrilled to find this song again!!!! I grew up in the late 70’s and all of the 80’s, the music I fell in love with back then was and still is spectacular! Even so, I have to say I do believe this is the best damn song ever written!!! Everything about it is perfectly achingly painful and absolutely brilliant!!!!
@@PeterNgolaI kinda get it. I'm soon to be 47 and have been married for 17 years. There are times I find myself missing those intense feelings from my youth that I haven't felt in so long. That said, I'm also aware that I'm simply romanticizing those feelings. Actually experiencing them is completely different. The mind does a fine job at blocking out traumatic feelings and pain. It's worse than you remember.
This is one of those songs with no repeating chorus. It’s just a perfect little story pack with emotion and raw energy. If you have loved and loss this song will bring the memories rushing back.
Been listening to this song for more than 12 years and I never once noticed the lack of a chorus. It’s one hell of a testament to the lyrics, they’re so visceral and accurate that you don’t even realize there’s no chorus.
Sometime Around Midnight" And it starts Sometime around midnight Or at least that's when you lose yourself For a minute or two As you stand Under the bar lights And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile And that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her For a while But you know That she's watching She's laughing, she's turning She's holding her tonic like a cross The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are So you can smell her perfume You can see her lying naked in your arms And so there's a change In your emotions And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine Then she leaves With someone you don't know But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts As she walks out the door Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes And then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost." Then you walk Under the streetlights And you're too drunk to notice that everyone is staring at you You just don't care what you look like The world is falling around you You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You know that she'll break you in two
No matter how much you get over a girl, no matter how happy you become, the idea of her remains with you and forever makes you wonder "what if" its beautifully terrifying. Even if it's been years, even if she has completely changed and it could never work, the idea of her refuses to go away
This song brings back memories of every painful break-up I had in my youth. I'm 66 now and have been married for 33 years, but the memories still come rushing back. BTW, if you're a fan of intelligent rock bands, and you probably are since you're watching this, I highly recommend Dawes. Especially the song A Little Bit of Everything.
@@Tupelo927 Thank you very much. My 31 year old daughter is a music lover. We've kind of switched generations as to what we think is great, though. She, for example, thinks the Beatles White Album is amazing, while I think it's self-indulgent and overrated. I think My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade is the greatest rock album ever made. She thinks it's just OK.
Lyrics like these can only come from personal experience. Simple, raw, emotional and honest. If this song leaves you cold, you have a soul of custard and a heart of clay.
I love this comment section. People from all walks of life, all different experiences but all share one thing in common. Heartbreak. It's like a therapy group.
I remember hearing this song in highschool and thinking it was a nice song. 13 years later I'm revisiting and I finally understand what these lyrics mean. For anyone going through something like this your not alone reach out for help if you need it
Song takes me back to when I had my first heartbreak when my first love left me I was distraught heartbroken and thought I would never get over her... Forward months later and I'm at a random dive bar in downtown L.A. I'm there enjoying my drink when suddenly I look across the bar and see her staring at me, all the memories and emotions came back like a flood but I was strong enough to just leave my tip and walk away. Years gone by and I'm with the new love of my life happier than ever. Moral of the story; keep your head up, brighter days are ahead. 💯
This song is sitting alone, surrounded by people, while you get pulled back under, reminded of a time when love had meaning, and hope was high, where your life had a future and everything didn’t hurt.
Get’s? Since the apostrophe marks ownership or a missing letter, I’m curious as to what you mean... Does “me everything” belong to “get”? Get cannot own anything as get is a verb. So I’m assuming get does not own me every time as ‘me everytime’ is not a noun and not able to be possessed. In that case the apostrophe must be to mark a missing letter. Get is me every time? Get us me every time? I’m confused. Gets* I’m also an absolute arse for this but if someone learns then it’s worth it . PEACE Banging song x
was just explaining that to my best friend. it's hard to put the finger on it. so many elements... the build of the instruments... the lyrics being followed by a slow moving angst and then the release of it all meeting and spilling out between one's ears.
Why does this song always have to come on when I'm piss drunk :..( Like it sneaks up and taps me on the shoulder and says, "hey... I just wanted to let you know that... YOU'RE GONNA CRY"
@@lithiumkc8 a week later, and extended quarantine in my country, and in retrospect I had no idea how much I took advantage of that glass of wine 🙈 alcohol and cigarettes have been banned until lockdown lifts at the beginning of May. My two vices.
You can’t understand, but if you do understand then you get it. That’s what’s this song is about. I’ve been broken in two and I’ve been broken in so many more pieces but yet I’m still whole. I’m still here.
Absolutely. One of the greatest songs of all time. Has to be top 10 in retrospect. Hindsight, whatever you want to call it. Captivating emotions, raw truth, simple performance, understandable. The only people that disagree, have never felt emotion, are questionable, or tepid at best.
15 year old song an im still bumping it . Such a depressing song but it is one of the best bands an song ever made that doesn’t get enough credit . I’m almost 40 and have kids now . Thanks for the memories
This song captures that feeling so perfectly... It's as though you're doing OK , then you see her, and you get a glimpse of that unattainable emotion before you slide back into the abyss!
I came here because I asked ChatGPT, "Give me a list of rock songs that are not very well known but are beautiful," and the first one that came up was this one! Thank you.
I vividly remember 13 year old me getting mesmerized by this song every morning before school when it played on VH1. As if I knew what heartbreak was then.
"The violins are essential & really make the song complete & completely awesome." Something I never thought I would ever say & for those that know me, a seemingly impossible utterance from these lips...
First seen this song played live on the late late show with Craig Furguson when I was in middle school I have loved it ever since. Easily one of my top 3 songs of all time.
I have an amazing story. One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith. So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana". I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly… I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling. He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car. A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.
Umpteenth million time I've listened to this masterpiece and it just gets better and better. This song, Bittersweet Symphony and The Funeral are consistently on a loop.
And it starts Sometime around midnight Or at least that's when You lose yourself For a minute or two As you stand Under the bar lights And the band plays some song About forgetting yourself for a while And the piano's this melancholy sound check To her smile And that white dress she's wearing You haven't seen her For a while But you know That she's watching She's laughing, she's turning She's holding her tonic like a crux The room suddenly spinning She walks up and asks how you are So you can smell her perfume You can see her lying naked in your arms And so there's a change In your emotions And all of these memories come rushing Like feral waves to your mind Of the curl of your bodies Like two perfect circles entwined And you feel hopeless, and homeless And lost in the haze Of the wine And she leaves With someone you don't know But she makes sure you saw her She looks right at you and bolts As she walks out the door Your blood boiling Your stomach in ropes And when your friends say what is it You look like you've seen a ghost And you walk Under the streetlights And you're too drunk to notice That everyone is staring at you And you so care what you look like The world is falling Around you You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her And you know that she'll break you in two
The whole scenario where you’re watching each other trying to be low key but you just Know, and where you get memories or try to show off someone new is actually so goddam accurate. Honestly this song is one of the most realistic songs that people can relate to
This is the most unique song I've ever encountered . No chorus repeated over and over . It is a seamless journey from one thought to the next . And I'm loving how many people this can apply to . Isn't that that shit
I had a person like this. We check in once a year to see if we're still living. They're happily married with children. I don't feel bad about walking away. It was probably the best thing I could have done for them. This song doesn't make me feel the way it did when I first heard it. I just enjoy it now.
Almost 40 years ago my first true love broke my heart. I can still remember the pain I felt the first time I saw her with another guy. This song really captures the pain that you feel. The buildup is what makes the song.
This album got me through my divorce. So wild the timing of when I was introduced to this band and how much their music spoke to me. All the memories it stirred and the way it helped me feel like I wasn't alone. Fantastic stuff.
“You just have to see her. You know that she’ll break you in two.” …. Powerful. He’s so real for that. The hold a single person can have over someone never ceases to blow my mind. If you can’t relate to needing to see someone and loving them even though they ruin your life you can consider yourself lucky.
This is the first song I’ve ever heard that gave me a full on out of body experience doubled with chills and numbness that I haven’t heard any other songs compete on that level. It’s so amazing and scary at the same time.
13 year's old this song and I can remember where I was and what I was doing. I was letting go of an old friend, and I knew I wouldn't see them again. We both knew but stopped for a moment and listened. It was one of those moments where life was playing the soundtrack to your life as it happened. I forgot about it, and when I heard it again, it was like being in that place and time all over again. This song can cut you or it can open your eyes and you can duck and avoid the heartbreak. Yes a song can do that. 🤟✌️This song is epic.
I was in the car with my friends coming home late at night. I remember where I was and what I was doing as well. Weird how songs can be that powerful. That was 13 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday for some reason.
Funny you mentioned this song came to you for it came to me as well since last night. Got side tracked looking for it. Great song. Brings back memories of loving someone to the core. Feel like it's meant to be, or have been with the person in a previous life or something, but they don't feel the same way(or deep down they do but won't admit it for some dumb reason), and worse yet they stab you in the back. Although it's painful. I think it's better to have gone through those emotions than to not feel anything at all. Without love you're pretty much dead. So I say bring it on. I'm ready to take my chances and get those emotions stirred up again. Even it breaks my heart again.
Btw. I think they should have named the song something easier to remember and find. Even the bands name is hard to remember. At least to me it is. It's not the first time I've wanted to hear the song and for the life of me can't remember the name. I even have it in one of my playlists and it takes me a while to find. For I don't have it recorded in all my devices.
This song is what it feels like getting hit by a truck. Brings back.. memories. This have been on my favorite list for a long time. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!
Man, college and being young.... this exact feeling happened to me way too much in my late teens/early 20s..... It's a tearjerker of a song if you are going through something like this. Glad I was able to grow up and move on.
You just have to see her. You just have to see her. You just have to see her. You just have to see her. You just have to see her. To know that she’ll break you in two.
The type of song that makes you wish your volume control had a infinity setting!
This rare breed of song could never be played too loud.
I had this on my bike ride playlist and used to crank the shit out of it. And on several mix CDs in my little blue Honda civic si when I was 27 😂 good times!
@@Patsanford220 I crank this song when I’m cruising the Newport Beach bike path and of course I’m stoned.
@@Patsanford220 Mix CDs, your showing are age. Do you remmeber the great old days of Block Busters.
In the blink of an eye, fifteen years go by and you're still broken.
me too. twelev years and I'm okay but I'm still broken

@@Reesy334 I really don't know. I guess fall in love again? I haven't tried. What are your thoughts?
Prophetic song. I wish I'd known.

True. Growth and introspection are the keys to moving past anything.
a song for any man who has truly loved and lost.
been there ...THIS SONG KILLS IT!!.
Caught mine cheating after 11 years. Wonder what happened after midnight 😢
No doubt about it
Even when you F'd up and lost her.
i just started crying by reading this comment
This song is a masterpiece.
"Masterpiece" gets overused but not here, you are absolutely right.
I wish I had more people in my life who listened to music like this

If your still looking for friends I'm here haha
If you ever visit Australia. 😄
Yes, very underrated.
Your not alone brotha.

This comment is as good as the song. Nicely said, friend.
This band is the poster child for being criminally underrated and undervalued that’s a sin
I just learned of them today! Isn't that sad? I can't stop listening.
I was just thinking the same thing, how are they not waaay more recognized??
But it's kinda nice that it's not a song burnt out and over played on the radio just to get sick of when you hear it
Found them during Covid. Insane this isn’t more popular
I watched the several years ago in Chattanooga and if I remember right some asshole broke into their van and stole their equipment. They went and bought new equipment at a local store and still performed that night.
this song has been giving me chills for 13 years.
yeah it's that sick
I feel you brother ✊🏼
saw them in concert at the height of this song. Epic performance in a small venue. Great musicians.
You just have to see her
ouch. why you gotta go throw time into the mix
This song just wrecks me.
Join the club.
Man this is why I'm so grateful for TH-cam comments. The amount of people that can feel this song somehow makes it more beautiful. Stay strong peeps.
Yes Absolutely
Same band different song is WAKE UP ? FROM WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE no no that's arcade fire😅 my bad

Well I mean the song is written by a man so you know there's that
What has been felt can't be unfelt.
Its literally written by a dude lol but it's refreshing?
If this song doesn't make you cry, you've been very fortunate in life.
Yeah….
indeed.

Heartbreak is horrible in the moment, but my god does it make you feel more than you ever have. It's so weird that you feel like you could die, and yet those emotions are the most electrifying feeling.
I think it’s unfortunate If you haven’t experienced true heart break.
You get over your heartbreak.

With a band name like that I had to click on it and see how it was. To my absolute delight, their cover was, in my opinion, better than the original. So, I looked through the rest of their playlist and saw this song. It had millions of views so I clicked on it and was absolutely thrilled to find this song again!!!! I grew up in the late 70’s and all of the 80’s, the music I fell in love with back then was and still is spectacular! Even so, I have to say I do believe this is the best damn song ever written!!! Everything about it is perfectly achingly painful and absolutely brilliant!!!!
Perfectly stated
I think that represents the feelings of MANY of us
Tell me you don't want to feel heartbreak again cause that would be weird
@@PeterNgolaI kinda get it. I'm soon to be 47 and have been married for 17 years. There are times I find myself missing those intense feelings from my youth that I haven't felt in so long.
That said, I'm also aware that I'm simply romanticizing those feelings. Actually experiencing them is completely different. The mind does a fine job at blocking out traumatic feelings and pain. It's worse than you remember.
Caught mine cheating after 11 years. Wonder what happened after midnight 😢
This is one of those songs with no repeating chorus. It’s just a perfect little story pack with emotion and raw energy. If you have loved and loss this song will bring the memories rushing back.
Been listening to this song for more than 12 years and I never once noticed the lack of a chorus.
It’s one hell of a testament to the lyrics, they’re so visceral and accurate that you don’t even realize there’s no chorus.
Sometime Around Midnight"
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when you lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile
And that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her
For a while
But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a cross
The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine
Then she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
And then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Then you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice that everyone is staring at you
You just don't care what you look like
The world is falling around you
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You know that she'll break you in two
@@VaderPopsVicodin10 the song reminds me of an ex i saw with someone else. But it's a damn good song.
****holding her tonic like a CRUX
Otherwise, perfect!
@@karenlucas2887 everyone has enough of your attitude Karen. We know you really don't care.
@@karenlucas2887 I think you meant "like a crutch."
One of the most underrated songs and bands of all time!
"Underrated" That's why it has over 12 MILLION views.
I heard it in a few movies too this song was popular,
No matter how much you get over a girl, no matter how happy you become, the idea of her remains with you and forever makes you wonder "what if" its beautifully terrifying. Even if it's been years, even if she has completely changed and it could never work, the idea of her refuses to go away
Hard to explain but that violin shot at 3:10 could only exist in songs written from 2005 to 2010. Great track.
THE WAY THIS SONG BUILDS IS SIMPLY BREATHTAKING
YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER
YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER
YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER
To know that she'll break you, too.
It's giving "Motorcycle Drive-By" from Third Eye Blind energy.😊
If you like songs that end on a peak like this listen to To Districts, Funeral Beds. The passion cannot be surpassed
@@strangway don't know the song, but I'm sure you do
Honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard in my whole life. I remember hearing for the first time and just losing my breath. It's beautiful.
Really, me too. I couldn't speak. Your comment summed up my experience to a T. Thanks for that.
Last call with carson daly, I remember him saying he was blown away from this song and group. I'm so glad I was watching that night so long ago.
@@johndough3943 Saw that same show! The strings in this song just slay!!
Woodcock aye
I just read the same thing re: Odesza's Moment Apart album. I'm all over the place with music, but am glad I found this one.
This song brings back memories of every painful break-up I had in my youth. I'm 66 now and have been married for 33 years, but the memories still come rushing back.
BTW, if you're a fan of intelligent rock bands, and you probably are since you're watching this, I highly recommend Dawes. Especially the song A Little Bit of Everything.
OMG! A little bit of everything
When My Time Comes, that's a damn fine song.
@Leo Brussel You, sir, have some helluva good taste in music. If you have children, I sincerely hope you've fostered a similar appreciation in them.
@@Tupelo927 Thank you very much. My 31 year old daughter is a music lover. We've kind of switched generations as to what we think is great, though. She, for example, thinks the Beatles White Album is amazing, while I think it's self-indulgent and overrated. I think My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade is the greatest rock album ever made. She thinks it's just OK.
I like All Your Favorite Bands ❤️
*You just don't care what you look like, the world is falling around you* That line hits me as I'm sure it hits a lot of people out there.
Me AS WELL!
It's a crazy good song.
Been there!!!
Lyrics like these can only come from personal experience. Simple, raw, emotional and honest. If this song leaves you cold, you have a soul of custard and a heart of clay.
This is the best love loss song ever written!!
Cheers
The progression of feeling in this song is unmatched to any other.
Snow patrol do it also
And radiohead
Executed so good, when I think about this song I jus think about "you looked like youve seen a ghost" the buildup to it is amazing
Another one is Lazy Eye by silver sun pickups, not as strong of lyrics but still great song
Mr B on D Dear Donald
I love this comment section. People from all walks of life, all different experiences but all share one thing in common. Heartbreak. It's like a therapy group.
grif vanne, I'm in total agreement with you
😉
And they help to get us through. So loving it!!!
sometimes you find beauty in the strangest places... the beauty of the human experience, completely agree
fuck my heart, honestly
Taking a break from all the misery in todays world and listening to classics like this is a mental reset❤
This is like a kick in the gut when you least expect it.
I will watch multiple times until my goosebumps turn to tears...
I dig how the intensity of his singing and the instrumentation increases as the song progresses.
I remember hearing this song in highschool and thinking it was a nice song. 13 years later I'm revisiting and I finally understand what these lyrics mean. For anyone going through something like this your not alone reach out for help if you need it
Song takes me back to when I had my first heartbreak when my first love left me I was distraught heartbroken and thought I would never get over her... Forward months later and I'm at a random dive bar in downtown L.A. I'm there enjoying my drink when suddenly I look across the bar and see her staring at me, all the memories and emotions came back like a flood but I was strong enough to just leave my tip and walk away. Years gone by and I'm with the new love of my life happier than ever. Moral of the story; keep your head up, brighter days are ahead. 💯
This song is sitting alone, surrounded by people, while you get pulled back under, reminded of a time when love had meaning, and hope was high, where your life had a future and everything didn’t hurt.
Perfect.
That is an emotion we will all have, or have had...
When you were young
This goddamn song.
Brilliantly constructed. Get's me everytime.
Right??? It's not unnecessarily complicated. Just simple and brilliant.
Get’s?
Since the apostrophe marks ownership or a missing letter, I’m curious as to what you mean...
Does “me everything” belong to “get”?
Get cannot own anything as get is a verb.
So I’m assuming get does not own me every time as ‘me everytime’ is not a noun and not able to be possessed.
In that case the apostrophe must be to mark a missing letter.
Get is me every time? Get us me every time?
I’m confused.
Gets*
I’m also an absolute arse for this but if someone learns then it’s worth it .
PEACE
Banging song x
Same.🌼
I know right?
was just explaining that to my best friend. it's hard to put the finger on it. so many elements... the build of the instruments... the lyrics being followed by a slow moving angst and then the release of it all meeting and spilling out between one's ears.
Why does this song always have to come on when I'm piss drunk :..(
Like it sneaks up and taps me on the shoulder and says, "hey... I just wanted to let you know that... YOU'RE GONNA CRY"
I just poured myself another glass of wine after reading this..
Then you had to listen to this song again privately.
Pour one for me Tracy 😋
@@lithiumkc8 a week later, and extended quarantine in my country, and in retrospect I had no idea how much I took advantage of that glass of wine 🙈 alcohol and cigarettes have been banned until lockdown lifts at the beginning of May. My two vices.
Lmao 😂 so fkn true 🍻
Tracy Keegan oh no 🙉 how horrible!!! Is it still that way?
Where are you from?
How does this only have 92K likes?! Awesome Melow Nostalgic jam!! ❤
You can’t understand, but if you do understand then you get it.
That’s what’s this song is about.
I’ve been broken in two and I’ve been broken in so many more pieces but yet I’m still whole. I’m still here.
I like that
15 years married and still madly in love with her when she left in 2013. I survived, and found someone that loves me back!
Thank you for this
awesomesause
i'm so fucking sorry for your wife!
I relate to you IT took me 19 years to find my ground
Right on sir. Never let anyone's decisions hold you back!
One of the greatest songs ever written. Captures all the heartbreaking and desperate feelings it should capture. Masterpiece.
true statement
Amen❤
Absolutely.
One of the greatest songs of all time. Has to be top 10 in retrospect. Hindsight, whatever you want to call it.
Captivating emotions, raw truth, simple performance, understandable. The only people that disagree, have never felt emotion, are questionable, or tepid at best.
You got that right!
15 year old song an im still bumping it . Such a depressing song but it is one of the best bands an song ever made that doesn’t get enough credit . I’m almost 40 and have kids now . Thanks for the memories
I bumped a song once.
I first heard this song before getting married to my high school girlfriend. Now I'm listening to it, divorced, after 10 years.
Timeless, isn't it?
james ruther perfect brother. Peace
My man. I'm so sorry. Stay with us, brother. We need you.
@@ShimmySnail I'm not going anywhere, my man. I have 2 kids who need me, full time, so I have no choice other than to thrive.
ruther 2 kids, same here. Raisin de tray.
My man, I’m in the same boat. Although only 6 years for me and no kids. Stay strong.
One of the greatest songs of the last ten years; melancholy yet still ultimately explosive and cathartic...
Preach brotha preach
Well stated.
i heard this song on the radio years ago and didn't catch the name. i have been looking for it relentlessly. i feel so elated finally finding it
Welcome to the world of pulling out this song every 3 years or so to relive it!
@@edwardkay288 Only every 3? You've got far more self-restraint than I.
That slow unstoppable build you hear coming through the entire song like a freight train in the dark!
This song captures that feeling so perfectly... It's as though you're doing OK , then you see her, and you get a glimpse of that unattainable emotion before you slide back into the abyss!
Perfect description of any of the other comments on here. Its like relapsing from a drug. It is a drug. Heartache.
This song used to bring me to tears and make me sick with how much I related to it. It's a bittersweet feeling when a connection like that ends.
The Power that we give to other people. Its crazy.
So true
Assured mutual destruction? You have faith that they don't want to push that red button.
Never again!
I came here because I asked ChatGPT, "Give me a list of rock songs that are not very well known but are beautiful," and the first one that came up was this one! Thank you.
Ooh, what are the others please?
This is one of those songs you remember your entire life!
Yep
Confirmed!
I vividly remember 13 year old me getting mesmerized by this song every morning before school when it played on VH1. As if I knew what heartbreak was then.
Vh1 you ought know artists
Me too!
Yes! Middle school romance was intense for me.
Back then: you poor naive soul
"The violins are essential & really make the song complete & completely awesome."
Something I never thought I would ever say & for those that know me, a seemingly impossible utterance from these lips...
First seen this song played live on the late late show with Craig Furguson when I was in middle school I have loved it ever since. Easily one of my top 3 songs of all time.
Holy shit was scrolling through the comments looking for lyrics and realized the same. Good shit homie
I have an amazing story. One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith.
So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana".
I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly…
I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling.
He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car.
A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.
13 years...And it starts sometime around midnight
Umpteenth million time I've listened to this masterpiece and it just gets better and better. This song, Bittersweet Symphony and The Funeral are consistently on a loop.
Woah me too creepy
I'll give that loop a try. Thank you for that gift :)
Gotta familiarize myself with that one I don't know now!
I came here after The Funeral. Spot on!
@@JenniferDuron The Kid Cudi song?
Saw them perform this live on Jay Lenno....hooked
This captures the angst of heartbreak so eloquently
1000%
Its actual therapy! Shock!
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when
You lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song
About forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy sound check
To her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
You haven't seen her
For a while
But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
She walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing
Like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies
Like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless
And lost in the haze
Of the wine
And she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her
She looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling
Your stomach in ropes
And when your friends say what is it
You look like you've seen a ghost
And you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice
That everyone is staring at you
And you so care what you look like
The world is falling
Around you
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
And you know that she'll break you in two
Thank you, and your are loved for your effort.
The buildup, the emotions, are visceral. I feel every note, every lyric
Absolute Masterpiece
The whole scenario where you’re watching each other trying to be low key but you just
Know, and where you get memories or try to show off someone new is actually so goddam accurate. Honestly this song is one of the most realistic songs that people can relate to
One of the most perfect songs.
This is the most unique song I've ever encountered . No chorus repeated over and over . It is a seamless journey from one thought to the next . And I'm loving how many people this can apply to . Isn't that that shit
Yes, it's the shit
Great song. ❤
It doesn't matter the year. This song hits in the feels every time. Beautiful storytelling
I had a person like this. We check in once a year to see if we're still living. They're happily married with children. I don't feel bad about walking away. It was probably the best thing I could have done for them. This song doesn't make me feel the way it did when I first heard it. I just enjoy it now.
Your story kind of reminds me of their song called "Duet"
One of my all time favorite songs I absolutely love how the music intensifies with the emotion of the story.
Keep coming back to this song..in good mood and bad mood..
This song is timeless, anybody that ever broke up or misses someone (Which is every dang body) will feel this.
Almost 40 years ago my first true love broke my heart. I can still remember the pain I felt the first time I saw her with another guy. This song really captures the pain that you feel. The buildup is what makes the song.
This album got me through my divorce. So wild the timing of when I was introduced to this band and how much their music spoke to me. All the memories it stirred and the way it helped me feel like I wasn't alone. Fantastic stuff.
You know why divorce is so expensive?......Cause it's worth it.
“You just have to see her. You know that she’ll break you in two.” …. Powerful. He’s so real for that. The hold a single person can have over someone never ceases to blow my mind. If you can’t relate to needing to see someone and loving them even though they ruin your life you can consider yourself lucky.
This is the first song I’ve ever heard that gave me a full on out of body experience doubled with chills and numbness that I haven’t heard any other songs compete on that level. It’s so amazing and scary at the same time.
13 year's old this song and I can remember where I was and what I was doing. I was letting go of an old friend, and I knew I wouldn't see them again. We both knew but stopped for a moment and listened. It was one of those moments where life was playing the soundtrack to your life as it happened. I forgot about it, and when I heard it again, it was like being in that place and time all over again. This song can cut you or it can open your eyes and you can duck and avoid the heartbreak. Yes a song can do that. 🤟✌️This song is epic.
I was in the car with my friends coming home late at night. I remember where I was and what I was doing as well. Weird how songs can be that powerful. That was 13 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday for some reason.
This song is perfection. I could listen to it on repeat forever. Perfectly captures that angst.
I have been through this multiple times from my early 20's through my mid 40's. It passes and you move on. Live and learn.
This song popped into my head today. When I hear this I just close my eyes and feel like my younger self.
Funny you mentioned this song came to you for it came to me as well since last night. Got side tracked looking for it. Great song. Brings back memories of loving someone to the core. Feel like it's meant to be, or have been with the person in a previous life or something, but they don't feel the same way(or deep down they do but won't admit it for some dumb reason), and worse yet they stab you in the back. Although it's painful. I think it's better to have gone through those emotions than to not feel anything at all. Without love you're pretty much dead. So I say bring it on. I'm ready to take my chances and get those emotions stirred up again. Even it breaks my heart again.
Btw. I think they should have named the song something easier to remember and find. Even the bands name is hard to remember. At least to me it is. It's not the first time I've wanted to hear the song and for the life of me can't remember the name. I even have it in one of my playlists and it takes me a while to find. For I don't have it recorded in all my devices.
This song is what it feels like getting hit by a truck. Brings back.. memories. This have been on my favorite list for a long time. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!
" feels like getting hit by a truck " ABSOLUTELY God damn right,
This song has a hypnotic effect on me, just like this girl that I knew once...
This song always, always shakes my soul.
I'm jealous of anyone who's not currently living this song
I'm sorry for you. I likely will be again eventually
Anyone with Venus in Pisces..
Now im living with it.
@@giiiaaancp wanna tell us about it?
Ryan Thomas ... 😎 keep her happy and always smiling
Amazing lyrics founded on the fact that we have all been there. This song exemplifies music written from the soul and from life experience.
A great song!
Man, college and being young.... this exact feeling happened to me way too much in my late teens/early 20s..... It's a tearjerker of a song if you are going through something like this. Glad I was able to grow up and move on.
Still watching. Considering the shobox show in Seattle. We will see.
This song makes me feel like I've already experienced these things and I'm looking back on them. It's sort of frightening. This so is heavy
but don't ya just sorta wish...just WISH that this song had some more cowbell
TheStormofStorms every song needs more cowbell!
TheStormofStorms Wire brush on cowbell, maybe. Hard-core "Everybody's got something to hide", probably would not work here
IJustShot MarvinIntheFace i love how his emotions rise in tempo with the song
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
You just have to see her.
To know that she’ll break you in two.
EVERY single f*cken time, huh?
I know right.
Breaks me every time...
@ex tothenetwork why are you hear?
I saw her 😔
What an under rated song! God...the sting of a break up and the reality of someone moving on first...
Discovered it through a Greek online radio by fluke and thought, which Arcade Fire song is this? Great tune!
