The most poetic band in the world, thank you for coming back.

One of my favourite songs of all time. I was really lucky to see this perfomed live in 2017, in Milan, before all this pandemic shit and hiatus. Pure bliss.

[@RayRay-ot5xd]

How in God's name did this song NOT make it on the radio? It is majestic!!

[@mag9515]

Hold on, hold on for dear life And run, and run all night For you are loved in endless ways Stay with me Please believe I can be your memory My world will never be the same And my heart is never going to break For you are loved in endless ways Are loved in endless ways Hold on, hold on for dear life And run, and run all night For you are loved in endless ways Are loved in endless ways There's no way of knowing What will be waiting There's no way of knowing The dream I'm creating There's no way of knowing The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating The dream I'm creating

Arguably the best song on the whole album. I can't stop listening to it! Lee's vocals! Extreme chills everytime!

[@mysteriousDSF]

nah, Ghosts and Springfield takes the cake but this one is a solid 3rd

[@hvarte8486]

Agreed

[@AdhamMGhaly]

For me it is either this or Back to the Start.

[@edwardhitten2678]

Buy the CD, it's all genius. This song makes my brain cells explode every time I listen to it.

[@Abdkhjo]

Edward Hitten me too

[@armanrahimzamani1962]

This is the most heard song by me. I have listened to it thousands of times (No kidding) since it came out 2 years ago. I still can't get tired of it.

[@leviathan32]

This band never dissapoints you!!!

[@knownfact4905]

I was kinda disappointed with Distant Satellites, but had faith they'd bounce back

[@ReLapse85]

same and boy did they not disappoint :))

[@ilker.kivanc]

Damn right :))

[@neptunevibe]

LOL I was sending this link to a friend of mine and I was saying him the same thing: "Dude Anathema never failed me once!" I grew up with them since high-school till now.. almost 40.

[@AdhamMGhaly]

@@knownfact4905 Me too

[@alokpattnaikin]

Lee’s vocals ...So mesmerising. Listened to anathema for the first time in the mid-90s and they blew me away and they still do ,in Endless Ways. They are just getting better and better .

[@Infernal-VikinG666]

[@Nick-Nasty]

this song came on shuffle and stunned me. never heard of this band before, but damn it's so good.

[@FranciscoSantos-wf9og]

Get yourself a comfy chair and a good pair of headphones, because you have a long journey with this band. Do it, if you like music, just do it.

[@agribririon]

Lucky you Nick! Wish I had the chance to rediscover them!

[@sully2018]

Finding this comment 5 years after you made it, I hope you kept listening to this amazing band

[@NottediSolstizio]

This song is pure feeling.

[@nzfoxfan]

For the life of me I cant understand a thumbs down. This is sensational. What a vocal, Lee Douglas without doubt the best female vocalist on the planet.

[@ReLapse85]

thumbs down people simply cant understand how to hear the music properly. shame for them. joy for us.

[@pagb666]

Probably butthurt people that even 18 years later still expect a Doom/Death metal act

[@garymolden7678]

Can't agree more. Listen to A Natural Disaster. I know this sounds a bit strange but she reaches places in my soul that lifts my emotional being. Wacky I know, but she reaches others beers can't reach!

[@lbr2572]

Cause most sheeple think horrible pop musicians/singers are talented. There are so many underrated female vocalist that don’t get the recognition they truly deserve. Lee for one. Florence Welch, Johnette Napalitano, Brody Dalle, and Emily Armstrong among others.

[@zxuol]

always in my life, since a lot of years, thanks anathema

[@patrickzjd]

I just heard this song on Morow, and I can't get over what a beautiful song this is! I absolutely love it when progressive bands have female vocals, and here I've found a band that has a such a strong singer. Very breathtaking, and now I have to search out their discography. Thanks for uploading!

[@bobpenney9973]

Anathema... Like fine wine. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jonathanhutton5100]

[@uchtritzszindbad1528]

Amazing song!

[@beauzammusic]

It's weird how Anathema have never broke into the mainstream.. I really like this stuff, a lot more than other pop artists.. and I'm an old school metalhead.. I guess I like Anethema because of thier history though... Otherwise it would be hard to accept a band like this that was new... I mean it's kind of proggy but not much it's pretty much pop mainstream now.

I love how this is considered metal music just because it is a good song lol, maybe the drums too

[@timbatchelor1907]

CRABLEGS people probably consider it metal cause they used to be a progressive metal band. I personally don't think it's a metal song and they are no longer a metal band.
