Official Lyrics:
One, Two, Three, Four
There's a man who stands upon a hill
Looking down to the people he has killed
And he done them one by one
There's a man, who stands above a grave
Looking down to a woman he couldn't save
And his life's been put on hold
And he will make or break your day
Turn round and look the other way
You gotta listen to what he says
And he will send you up or down
Don't matter if your break your neck or drown
You gotta listen to what he says
Do roo do, do roo do do do roo do
Do roo do, do roo do do do roo do
Do roo do, do do do do
There's a man who lost what he once loved
Lookin sad cause he knows the time has come
To take his pain away
He writes a note and he makes his way upstairs
It won't be long til he don't have to care
Til he meets our man on a hill
And he will make or break your day
Turn round and look the other way
You gotta listen to what he says
And he will send you up or down
Don't matter if your break your neck or drown
You gotta listen to what he says
Do roo do, do roo do do do roo do
Do roo do, do roo do do do roo do
Do roo do, do do do do
There's a man who lost what he once loved
Lookin sad cause he knows the time has come
To take his pain away
He writes a note and he makes his way upstairs
It won't be long til he don't have to care
Til he meets our man on a hill
And he will make or break your day
Turn round and look the other way
You gotta listen to what he says
And he will send you up or down
Don't matter if your break your neck or drown
You gotta listen to what he says
And he will make or break your day
Turn round and look the other way
You gotta listen to what he says
And he will send you up or down
Don't matter if your break your neck or drown
You gotta listen to what he says
Do roo do, do roo do do do roo do
Do roo do, do roo do do do roo do
Do roo do, do do do do
Do roo do, do roo do do do roo do
Do roo do, do roo do do do roo do
A dah dah dah do do

this song goes immensely hard. this sounds like something i would walk home from the bus stop to. this is something id blast while cleaning my room, or adding new drawings to my converse. this song is such a fucking bop, when i was watching a youtube video ab lost media, this song stuck out to me and i saw a comment saying it was found. never searched something faster.

[@persephoenix]

Can confirm, I am listening to this at my bus stop literally right now

Listening to this while making kandi 😅

I live on the other side of the world, and I'm struggling with depression every day. But your songs have been a great comfort to me. Thank you very much.

[@TheDefendedOfficial]

Hey, first off thank you! We wrote these songs a long time ago and it’s thanks to people like you that they even exist online. Looking back, a lot of our songs came from a place of depression or defiance to it. Keep fighting and always keep talking! The Defended

this is probably my favorite out of all the solved ones but when and if radio silence gets solved it will probably get first

[@EddieBurke]

Man I'll never get over how awesome it is that you guys are receptive to people finding your old stuff. Even 4 years ago it wasn't easy to explain to the creators what we were doing because just it was a minuscule community.

[@TheDefendedOfficial]

Hope it keeps growing, Eddie!

can't get enough of this track. what a hidden gem

Thank you!

[@TOPGWAFDude01]

Just a warning, some staff members and lostwave communities are toxic and full of pedophiles. Not surprising because this is the internet, just be careful of every community based system.

Absolute banger. I'm glad this song was found!

[@notnotadev]

Who were your musical influences? The main vocals seem very vivid like the Arctic Monkeys, but then some bits remind me more of The Fratellis (who I think would’ve actually been formed after you had recorded this, though I’m not sure of the exact history of your band). Either way, I’d love to know as i truly have no clue

[@TheDefendedOfficial]

Both were big influences on us at the time, also The Coral, The Kooks and Queens of the Stoneage

Hello! I just want to say that this song really helped me through my hard times (it was lost back then) I hope you consider coming here to Warsaw Once, i really think you make greaaaaaaaaat music! Cheers from Poland!

[@BeachioSandschannel]

My take on the meaning: The titular Man on a Hill is an allegory for suicide and his latest victim was the man who lost his wife. Edit: Just found out the band officially confirmed that it’s about death instead of just suicide.

[@JAMasterpiece42]

I always thought this was about the grim reaper?

[@BeachioSandschannel]

@@JAMasterpiece42 I’m gonna be honest, that makes sense.

I still stand by the belief that finding the lost song is only the second best part of lostwave. The best part is making the creators of these lost songs really happy about the community finding out about their awesome music.
