When this song came out it had been 6 months since the death of my little brother. It was a horrible car accident, and I showed up at the scene… The first time I listened to it, I broke down, I listened to it in a loop for hours. I cried and cried, I never listened to it again. Here I am over a year later, and it still so hard to listen to but it’s such a beautiful song.

[@jessicawolf5669]

Hope you‘re doing fine!

[@lyletheisland]

God Bless you, I can't imagine that pain, but I'm extending genuine love to you, and prayers as well.

"I still pretend, you're only out of sight, in another room." absolutely incredible. Thank you for this.

@@FEARmeify corrected; I was too emotional at the time to worry about that. Song caught me all the way off guard.

[@sosijiz1971]

"Your look defined my 2009'" just reeks of glorious poetry too though, right? As much of this song does. Almost therapeutic.

[@JoJo-ms2qr]

This lyric reminds me of a poem called “Death is nothing at all” by Henry Scotland Holland.

[@lojavsbeats]

I cried like a baby when I heard this song for the first time. I haven’t cried in years, certainly never because of a song I have no real connection to. It speaks to Alt J’s ability to write beautiful music. The reason I love these guys so much is that they stay true to their authentic selves when they write; it’s not always an instant fix when you hear a new song but when you take the time to really listen, it ends up pulling you along on these just really brilliant, delightful rides. One of the most important groups of all time in my world. Thanks Alt J.

[@Nakh]

I still cry everytime... every damn time.

I will be honest. I clicked, because the man at the keyboard looked like Vector from Despictable Me. But now I am staying for the music

[@Wishdom77]

This song was released as I lay next to my bf dying from what we finally found out was a rare brain disease and it really hit me hard. I love this version so much & I’m also a big Elliot Smith fan so I dig the reference. I’m sorry for whoever it was you lost. Wishing you love and peace.🙏🏻💜

Hallelujah I'm listening to a recording of you sleeping next to me A cappella I'm listening to you cover Elliot Smith's "Angeles" It's these times I'll need if you go It's these times I'll need if you go, so Get better, my darling I know you will Get better, my darling I know you will Get better I'm drawn to the motorway The cold whoosh of trucks passing This nighttime under sodium light The orange spread is soul-quietening A younger you and a younger me Meeting at The Serpentine I am yours, you are mine Happy birthday Staff smuggled in a card I made It rests under your pillow When out of ICU You'll cringe at all the 'I love you's The card retired the life of one biro At this time, I wanted you to know At this time, I wanted you to know Get better, my darling I hope you will Get better, my darling I hope you will Get better I'll start the day with tiramisu Raise a spoon to frontline workers An underfunded principle They risk all to be there for us A younger you and a younger me Meeting at The Serpentine I am yours, you are mine You were the baker I'll christen this new era With the smell of freshly baked bread Your Nutella, I'll keep it in the cellar You were always a fan of that spread Six months on, there's a car crash outside The fire brigade using the jaws of life No flush at night to sound your return I still pretend you're only out of sight Front garden bouquet, I threw it at the fire brigade I was admonished and told to go back inside From the living room window I stand and watch the white sheet go Over the family car and I close my eyes I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room Smiling at your phone I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room Smiling at your phone I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room Smiling at your phone I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room Smiling at your phone I still pretend A younger me, a younger you Meeting at The Serpentine The beginning of spring, you wore those yellow ripped jeans Your look defined my 2009 Your shyness stoked my boldness "Shall we go in?", I smiled Your hand warmed walking through the gallery I know I will (Get better) My darling, I know I will

The day this was uploaded/ released was the day I found out someone I loved deeply died of an overdose. It has been a difficult time coping. But today I heard this song and for some reason, some how it brought me a smile and feeling comforted. Your voices are so comforting! So thank you for this moment of smiles and good memories.

I really enjoy how he lays some of his lyrics on the beat. Like a painter to a canvas. Shines more so on other songs than others tho

Dancing and hugging in the kitchen in soft morning light with the love of my life. I am currently relapsing in my eating disorder, whilst trying to navigate our relationship healthily. We’ve been in a dark space since we had a car crash in February, us both going through hell in man ways. We are both sobbing in hope and hurt and warmth. Thank you for this.
