[@christopherhuot2826]

This world is upside-down when a band like this doesn't get the recognition they deserve 😅

[@williamhanson9946]

The problem with living is That one day you wont ......Briliant! And such a beautiful song xx

I've heard hundreds to thousands of songs in a lifetime. This song truly gave me a raw emotional journey. Everytime I hear it it's honestly like I'm listening to it the first time again. I heard this song for the first time in my room after an ex attempted to contact me for the first time in over 3 years. I had a lot on my plate at the time. Younger brother just moved and my mother started going through a divorce. I just typed in forever. I scrolled down for 4 - 5 mins. Heard this song and it broke me. I listened to it on repeat for the rest of the night. When I get down I listen to this and it just brings me to that point of vulnerability that I was that night and pushes me to become something greater so I can be there for the people that matter the most. Sorry for the spat. I just truly love this song.

I literally just foubd this song today and I feel.the same way - i have already listened to it 4 times - it is so beautiful and touches my soul

[@JoshuaHearnOfficial]

This is currently my favorite song and it fits emotionally with me and my current place in time and space.

What an absolute masterpiece this song is. The new album is great - possibly my favourite album released this year - but I don't think this sublime, poetic piece of art can be bettered. Every time I listen to it, I end up with it on repeat for much of the day, walking in a trance, contemplating life, death and beyond...

"Masterpiece" - "The Best Single Performance I have ever heard" Wow - This is simply indescribable on how talented and creative yet simple this live version was performed. Such powerful emotions from wanting to soar with adrenaline to a calming effect that takes your breathe away. The piano adds that delicate and just soothes, the guitar adds energy, and inspiration, and the vocals are patient pulling you in and holding you in. Each and every combination is felt from when the backup vocals come in to when the piano takes over at 5:35 -Strand of Oaks -Thank You for what you do and sharing this incredible just magical experience !

[@joeegg17]

If they could write a whole album of this quality would be a magical thing . I'm just grateful they had this one song in them = Beautiful Genius x

[@gregmontagna]

Bobby Broccolli weird ways is another gem. But yes, agree, need more depth to fill out the whole album.

[@mitchgibson5521]

The whole of the Eraserland album is a genuine triumph of will over adversity - maybe if you understood the subject matter a little better the connection with the songs would be greater. Yes, this is a thing of beauty, but the rest of the album is not far short.

[@Skywatcher5000]

Reminds me of Pink Floyd from the 70's-Thank you Strand of Oaks & Tim.

[@nightnurse777]

Something so nostalgic and familiar about this music. So chill, I love it.

[@heyitsmespider6792]

Heard this song today on WXPN free radio love it thought it was was My MorningJacket so I asked Siri♥️

[@zakelijke-portretten]

Great performance and lyrics!!

[@gregoryoliveira3124]

The more that you hear it The more that you don't The lesson is trying The fear is you won't Seems they're all winning You try just to float It's a constant sound You're running in the wind It's a blaze of light You're motionless Take back what you put in You hope it never ends You hope it never ends I take it too seriously To keep ahead of the joke My fingers keep bending Still searching for the note I feel like I'm acting The fiddler on the boat It's the ice at dawn Straight ahead You wanted to steer You know you can't Take back what you put in You hope it never ends You hope it never ends You hope it never ends Are we looking for answers Or just filling in the holes? The problem with living Is one day you won't Major to minor With a slow beating pulse And forever chords You learned as a kid That endless hope Of all that lies ahead Could never get old Stop living in your head Chase the moments of bliss They'll outshine the bad If you believe you can be loved You'll outlive your past And you hope it never ends You hope it never ends I hope it never ends I hope it never ends
