History Read - Original

/ scottandgilbert
Lyrics:
The time stamp on my forehead doesn't have enough ink
It fades a little more with every thought that I think
Soak up the minutes that drip from the clock
Hush all the ticks before they start to tock
Chorus:
Woke up this morning with eyelids of lead
You pulled up the blankets to cover my head
I might be dreaming, or I might be dead
My heaven is fleeting, my history read
Setting a deadline, life clove you and me
But magic might happen if I cross the C
Nothing can last, but nothing is wrong
Don't fear the past before it comes along
Chorus
Time isn't hiding, it's just hard to find
Ours are the hours that aren't defined
Chorus

Jonah playing guitar, half a drum kit and singing at the same time is incredible. And the whole The Altogether EP rocks!

Hearing BDG sing turned my Levis into Jorts

Brian is too powerful. Funny, smart, good dancer, and a good singer? God never intended to create someone this powerful. Also this is def my favorite of y’all’s songs holy shit it’s so fuckin good

[@taakotuesdays]

The fact that none of these have dislikes speaks you your talent and power keep it up

[@pindebraende]

Brian is a gift from the heavens but are you sure he's smart and don't just look nerdy?

[@TheGrumbliestPuppy]

@@pindebraende From the way he speaks he definitely is. Or at least is great at faking it.

[@snicks-1617]

And he can jump pretty fucking high

[@Soyfranciscoperez]

Either Brian Is A God Or Could Kill God & I Do Not Care If There Is A Difference!

[@aishas.6895]

This and Five Minutes were my favourite tracks on Look Up; I've woken up a few times at 4am with History Read inexplicably playing quietly in my brain cage.

There really needs to be more Jonah appreciation

[@pokkiheart]

WILL. It is a prophecy.

[@NathanOhsure]

I just love the lines “hush all the ticks before they start to tock” and “I might be dreaming or I might be dead” so so so much

[@lena28528]

oh my goodness, you're freaking funny, beautiful and you're even singing amazing, man, seriously that's enough for one human

[@bananak.37]

At 2:14 Jonah makes a little mistake and just looks down a bit and smiles and I think that's wonderful.

[@linearcurve]

the 3 dislikes were from doug bowser (head of nintendo america) after he reviewed BDG’s audition and didn’t have a brain

[@liamolaoghaire]

Nice job on the guitar also really liked when you sung together, you've both got great voices

[@Antpaok]

he can sing too

[@pechaberryjuice]

"the timestamp on my forehead doesn't have enough ink It fades a little more with every thought that I think" is such an incredible set of lyrics-- genuinely some of the best shit I've ever heard

[@craylow_404]

Woah, the beginning before the singing really sounded like the crane wives, which is good because I LOVE music that sounds like that.

[@kristenmcgeorge3677]

This sounds like an Indigo Girls song. Which is a huge compliment.

[@ivyj.9489]
