The Libertines - Don't Look Back Into The Sun (Official Video)

Released as a single on Rough Trade Records in 2003. Available to buy here: apple.co/2gJfEww
Lyrics
Yeah!
Don't look back into the sun
Now you know that the time has come
And they said it would never come for you, oh-oh-oh
Oh, my friend you haven't changed
You're looking rough and living strange
And I know you got a taste for it too oh-oh-oh
And they'll never forgive you but they won't let you go, oh no
She'll never forgive you but she won't let you go, oh no
Don't look back into the sun
You've cast your plans but you're on the run
And all the lies you said, who did you save?
But when they played that song at the Death Disco
It started fast but it ends so slow
And all the time it just reminded me of you
They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go (let me go!)
She'll never forgive you but she won't let you go, oh no
They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go (let me go!)
She'll never forgive you but she won't let you go, oh no

During my high school years, my suburban friend played this in his car as a starter to his driving playlist on his ipod in 2009. Me, growing up poor never knowing ever having such amenities next to him was blown away from hearing even the first second to the very end of this song. Later after a few years, he ended his life. When ever I remember that this song exists every now and then , I am brought back to then on a cold flagstaff night riding shotgun with no worries or lifegoals in mind. I always felt no one after matt felt the same vibe brought by this song. I am brought with happiness with comments feeling with such positivity

The thing I love about the best of the Libertines' songs (like this one) is that they're chaotic, but still somehow hang together, returning to an underlying melody. Kind of like punk rock, in that they're not particularly sophisticated sonically, but quite unlike anything else, they have a complex structure that's satisfying. If that makes any sense? If the drugs hadn't got in the way, maybe they could have conquered the world.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

two of the most dumbest and tired and untrue cliches about rock music: “it’s simple yet it’s still good!!!” , “it was made ON DRUGS!!!”. Most musical collaborations don’t last anyway and there’s nothing remarkable about a good piece of music not being ornate and convoluted, in fact its the other way around, complex music has a hard time sounding good

[@davenotdoug8394]

@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 I agree. Mostly - chaotic can be its own kind of complex. And complex, just like simple, can be good or shite. BTW, nice moniker, but it must be a bitch to remember?

When Libertines were big, my brother was in a minor band, and apparently loads and loads of people had Petes mobile phone number.
