[@MaskOwl]

People who say that money can't buy happiness obviously haven't bought a ticket to Alt-j's concert. The memory of that show never fails to make me smile. It was truly magical.

[@shahrzadketabollahi5496]

You're so lucky! Wish I could go to their concerts aswell :/

[@deathcrush6155]

But wasn't money that brought you happiness. Was the concert and the music itself. Money only made possible to happen. Money for money is nothing, mere symbol of materialism and materialism is nothing.

[@sammipanini]

@@deathcrush6155 Not trying to be a debate lord here but I think there is a bone to pick. First, I agree with the first part of your statement. It was, indeed the concert and the music itself that brought the OP their happiness. Case in point, if the OP had been given the tickets for free, I would venture to say their enjoyment would be roughly the same as were they to have bought the tickets themselves. But what do you mean by materialism is nothing? Also, I don't think money is merely the symbol of materialism. Personally, money is more so the notion that I won't starve on the cold rough park bench tomorrow, and I think that justifies money as a source of happiness.

[@pendjiin]

For those who don't understand the meaning, here is my interpretation: the song speaks about the hardships of being a homosexual in modern society, wanting to run away "to be a deer in Nara," a city in Japan where deer are treated as majestic, almost godlike creatures. The song mentions the source of homophobia and prejudices: "hallelujah" as a double entendre representing a religious source of prejudice and the joy they feel as they escape the hatred of society, Alvan E. Bovay, the founder of the Republican party, and Alabama, one of the most conservative states in the US. It's about running away into the unknown with the one you love, when they say "Saut dans le vide (leap into the void), my lover" it really emphasizes this point. They even allude back to the Olympics, mentioning Russia's vehement discrimination of homosexuals in the line "Unpin your butterflies, Russia", with butterflies representing the LGBT community. All in all, it's an amazing song and probably my favorite of all time from them.

[@brandonboykin9432]

Let's not forget the amazing likening of his lover to Aslan the Lion (He found me. My Aslan) from The Chronicles of Narnia, who is largely considered a metaphor for Christ. His lover is his savior.

[@pendjiin]

Brandon Boykin Very true! Nice catch! They truly take the extra step in terms of depth with their lyrics. It's amazing.

[@pendjiin]

Skalert Swiggins Yes, persecution mostly brought to light by the Olympics, at least to the majority. :)

[@videogamethemetunes]

It also may link to the prejudice of Homosexuals with the line "Love, love is the warmest colour" This may convey the way that people believe LGBT's have swapped genders and a gay man would like pink (traditionally a female colour)and a gay woman would like blue(traditionally a masculine colour) as these colours all have strong gender links. So Alt J has said, it doesn't matter what gender you like, you can be who you are.

[@OhQuesoPotato]

Universe Daily Just wanted to make the point that queer women aren't really associated with the colour blue and queer men certainly aren't associated with pink as pink was the Nazi designatory colour for homosexuals, which is why a rainbow is used to represent homosexuality nowadays. I wouldn't normally call a common mistake out, but some homosexuals would be extremely offended if you associated their sexuality with that colour for that reason.

[@hisfavworstnightmare]

“follow, let him go, let him lead me be” is one of the most beautiful lyrical sequences i’ve ever heard in a song

[@swixeyz]

I don't know guys but I have a feeling that Alt-j is one of the greatest bands of our generation and when nowadays music will be gone their music will remain. That's my humble opinion

[@datcat1981]

1:38 that high pitch tone always catches me so off guard, you could almost be fooled into thinking it's a female vocalist initially. Good god Newman you and your beautiful expansive vocal range. Goddamn gives me chills every time.

[@battlefield902]

what im here for!

[@cesarrios1452]

i feel really sad for no reason and the phrase: TO BE A DEER IN NARA made my cry... and i dont know why

[@blackfootbill1254]

The Shinto religion and local beliefs hold that a deity named Takemikazuchi arrived in the old capital of Nara on a white deer to act as the city's protector, and as a result, the deer of Nara were considered sacred, messengers of the gods. “To be a deer in Nara” (IMO) I believe the person written about in the song is gay in a homophobic society and either wishes or is finally in a place where he is accepted.

[@KurtisWithK]

The amount of things this song means to me.... Wow! As a gay man, it hits home for real. It has gotten me through so much and I will forever be grateful to Alt-J for this masterpiece. Cannot wait to see them live one day.

[@devinpowers9265]

I agree. As a gay man who grew up in a very tiny (400 pop.) conservative town, this song means so much to me. I Finally got to see them live a couple months ago. Even with my huge expectations, they didn’t disappoint. I Haven’t found a band that’s gotten me so emotionally invested in their music since Radiohead, when i was a teen. Great stuff. Also, to the people who have been turned off by the meaning of the lyrics, pretty sure that longing to be with someone whom you love and the relief of actually being able to realize said love is a very universal experience. Regardless of gender or orientations. Your letting your own insecurities dictate your perceptions. Stop it. Don’t let it spoil such great music.

I haven't listened to a ton of music since The Mars Volta broke up so it probably doesn't come as much of a surprise that I like this song so much. This really reminds me of some of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's solo work from an instrumental perspective.

Has anybody else felt the need of Nara to be their funeral song?

[@l.ej.1454]

+Prakhar Khandelwal NO :) To me it sounds more like my wedding song...it's a song for soulmates...

[@alecschuerger6161]

Oh my god I was just thinking that! Like I want people to listen to this when I'm gone and think of me because it's soooooo beautiful!

+Prakhar Khandelwal *Picks song thats beautiful to make everyone sad*

[@prakharkhandelwal569]

+Mr. November - If you think dying is sad, then yes, maybe, I am doing that. I was talking more in terms of the feel it gave me.

[@prakharkhandelwal569]

+Mr. November, more on the lines of what Alec Schuerger said.

[@srilankanflyer92]

[@sandrariiel7205]

You know when you wake up and go through the day and one of their songs has been ringing in your head the whole day and when you finally get to listen to it it's just like: yes. No? Just me? Ok

[@srilankanflyer92]

[@Kdvz100]

Sandra Riiel haha same

[@BuzzChronicles]

EVERY TIME IM PRAYING THIS SONGS POPS INTO MY HEAD

[@andreamiller6516]

You never know how love is going to find you and when it howls to you, why let someone else's idea of what it should be control you? Im from the south where religious groups condemn more than they uplift. Yet the warmth you feel in love uplifts. When i hear hallelujah in this, I hear several things 1)people in the church say this as an amen, an applause to God. 2)here its almost like someone says it sarcastically because of opinions on what love should like. 3)the ironic thing is, that love is totally applaudable no matter who you find it with. when its real, deep, honest. So having had a little aversion to this word in the past because of sounding inauthentic or trite, Ive found hallelujah replaced somehow by this song of deep raw honesty and an epic orchestra all over my body. A wrong made right..seen...cleared. Even if someone hasn't had this exact experience, the feeling is universal and echos throughout our lives and into the lives we love. Ive never known an artist(s) to put so much feeling into its compositions. your music deeply touches the souls in us and I often have to close my eyes and just feel my body take off with what you share through it. Theres healing in that. If i ever manage to make someone feel so connected to their own selfs yearned to expressed, I'd consider it a life worthwhile...

[@Kg4390]

[@datcat1981]

I saw someone comment asking how on earth would you describe this song? For me, personally I feel like it's a song which radiates an ethereal dream like quality, through the warm, rich, euphonious instrumentation and hypnotising, cadence of the vocals, it carves out spirituality, existentialism and religion like it's a beautiful technicolour tapestry. It is a song that is so hauntingly serene, reminiscent of greeting a cherished old friend, upon discovery it felt like it had belonged to my soul all along.

[@alicevanlancker5346]

Please write songs damn

[@sionbarzad5371]

Still blows me away all these years after its release.
