every time i listen to this song i just marvel at it. the message. the pain. the instruments. i love it. no refrain. no verses. just a story that builds and builds and builds till it peaks then fades out. most unique and amazing song ive ever heard.

[@edwardjaniszewski2890]

Absolutely. The song is a 5 minute crescendo.

[@deekshasharma2375]

you have explained it so beautifully and genuinely!

[@ralphlazio505]

Crescendo, yes. Crescendo of unexplainable emotional stress, panic, and desperation to regain what was right in front of you and now you are about to lose. “The world is falling around you”...💔

[@dgmickley]

Innocence acoustic is the same. The black and white video

[@nathanjones3166]

Lisa Loeb's Stay is the only other song I've heard that does this. No chorus, great building story.

[@lNDlFFERENCE]

That thing about love... no matter how much you try to forget them, even hate them, you will never completely get over them.

[@geltza7]

Did you ever get over them?

[@gp2933]

AMEN. For better or worse. Always there. The good... and the pain

[@gp2933]

I thought I was going to die loving him. But now I don’t care where he is as long as it’s not with me. I’m not the same girl I was back then

[@systemsandhowtodestroythem474]

Damn you, Pauline!

[@matthewguerra702]

It’s an insult to music that something so beautifully composed has only 1 million views in over a decade.

[@renatorovetti1189]

Au contraire , celà veut dire que nous sommes des êtres exceptionnels à vraiment aimer la très bonne musique ♥️😘👍🏻

[@fenrisunchained]

This reminds me of that feeling at 2am, when you're walking home, cold and alone. You went out chasing a dream, trusting in the chaos... And that dream wasn't to be yours. Who among us hasn't tasted that somber moment.

[@schuylerbuffington1646]

me. i haven't.

[@deranger17]

I think what makes this song amazing is a lot more that just raw unaltered vocals and instrumentals. They work extremely well with this song, but it's how this song can communicate emotion so effectively that makes me listen to it. And that communication of emotion is what makes songs amazing, regardless of medium.

[@heathert9826]

This is so freaking good. For some reason the line "Sometime around midnight" popped into my head today and I couldn’t place it. And here I am... back to being 17 again, crying my eyes out. This song is so full of raw emotion. Even the acoustic version on Spotify isn’t this good. I wish I could have this audio on its own.

[@rodrigomachado5291]

There are some websites / apps to download KZbin video (audio)

[@astasollilja677]

Flawless perfection. I think I love this version the most.

[@michelleNotImportant]

What beautiful vulnerability in his voice and hard felt lyrics.

[@macko4042]

I just realized that I love this song

[@breannawaldrop6242]

So happy I got to experience this live and it was all of the original members 😭🙏🏼

[@alwayz247]

This is my favorite version of this song. I cannot even describe how amazing this song is. I'm just disappointed that this version is not on Spotify.

[@brandonadcock8080]

For the Lovesick and Regretful...... When someone takes this kind of hold on you, no amount of time or distance will ever change how you feel...it just helps bury it so it’s not so fresh or painful. All I can say is if you feel like he/she is gone, run towards anything good and never, EVER, grab a shovel (FB creeping, looking at old photos, reading those old love letters you kept for God only knows what)! He/she will always have that part of your SOUL...... No two ways about it.

[@hyethga]

I second this. Reading old texts and photos will only prevent you from moving on forward and recovering. Find time to be with friends, take walks outside, and find the optimism that someone good is there just off the horizon.

[@CaesarInVa]

The moment I heard this song, and every time I've heard it ever since, I am transported back to the days of my youth, the early 80s, fresh out of the Navy, 21 years of age with all of life's endless opportunities stretching out ahead of us in all its fullness, in college and dating a prima ballerina, Tina, one of the most wondrous creations with which God ever graced this Earth. You are so right. Even though its been nearly 40 years, no amount of time or distance will ever mitigate or ameliorate the pain of our parting....or the magic of our time together. Those long, dark, cold winter nights when I stared deeply, into her hazel eyes over a flickering candle, her long blonde hair cascading down over her shoulders, her lithesome, shadowy silhouette dancing mischievously on the wall, her natural grace and spiritual beauty haunt me to this day. Yes, she will ALWAYS be a part of my soul, a contributor to my life's existence and who I am.

[@Markjamesstiles]

the whole album documents how a broken heart feels. Beautiful album, kinda glad they haven't gone pop mainstream yet cos it still resonates so deeply.

[@onedaylikethis]

I love how this song builds and builds and then suddenly it's all over.... the violins are epic!

[@reginaortega8489]

And it starts Sometime around midnight Or at least that's when you lose yourself For a minute or two As you stand Under the bar lights And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile And that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her For a while But you know That she's watching She's laughing, she's turning She's holding her tonic like a cross The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are So you can smell her perfume You can see her lying naked in your arms And so there's a change In your emotions And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine Then she leaves With someone you don't know But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts As she walks out the door Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes And then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost." Then you walk Under the streetlights And you're too drunk to notice that everyone is staring at you You just don't care what you look like The world is falling around you You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You know that she'll break you in two

[@Msmariselaful]

Shut the hell up!

[@LookingFarEast]

+Regina Salinas Good Job ! Great Artists - all from the same small hood in LA.

[@TiffanyKorrigan]

How had I never heard of this band or this song before? I've been listening to them almost nonstop for the last two weeks now!

[@pianoister]

I just found them today!

[@DaniBadger777]

Oof. Glad you found them now tho.

[@kristimcgowandarkoscellard3126]

I heard this song once on the radio in Houston years ago and had to pull my car over because I was balling my eyes out, even worse I never heard who the hell sang the damn song!!! 3 weeks ago I stumbled across their absolutely fantastic cover of Goodbye Horses and finally found them!!! They are truly brilliant musicians!!! Cheers

[@glenngolen3382]

So pure and raw. So awesome.

I´m not joking, THIS SONG, THE WHOLE LYRICS just happened to me this last weekend, I REALLY CANT BELIEVE THIS. I was crying beacuse this situation was sooo damn hard for me. THE WHOLE situation, exactly like this.

[@rmodjeski29]

So much emotion in this song.

[@bezo8162]

Best version...anything acoustic by these guys is EPIC. Keep doing what you do

[@Playlist-we8ew]

I love this song, I wish there was an extended version.

[@cronossmith9753]

Finally real music a real band!! Not the garbage around these days, thank you!! Thiers crap and thiers real artistry real music Bravo!!

[@jackiemartinez7295]

Absolutely phenomenal! This song was well put together and the instruments along with the voice and the emotions behind it make you feel the song. Spectacular love it!

[@unhilarious]

this video is stunning, very powerful. he's so present with the song - looks angry, like he's going to cry, like he's really going through it.

[@kenlowe-ca]

The song is deep by any measure.... not verse chorus verse chorus verse. It is a story... a deep emotional story... told so very well through the words, built upon the music. I'm so glad to have found this rendition, which is so moving.

[@skolbe1536]

Great Version. Such a great composition of music.

[@arenaofideaspodcast8666]

This song is this time capsule moment remembering where you were and in life its that chance to reflect on either what could of been or what your lamenting about your life choice!!!! Either way this song is fricken amazing ! Rock on music fam!

[@jpdster]

The lead singer/guitarist's transition from novelist to musician was absolutely ingenious, and we all benefited from that.

[@adriyellowful]

I feel the violins playing inside of my soul- no joke! Such a powerful, poignant song!

[@9465anders]

Just an amazing song, who doesn't feel emotion listening to it ?

[@eduardoarredondo5282]

Darin Andersen sure i do

[@Luis-mg5kc]

It’s 2021 and still amazing

[@chaomac]

Man 12 years on and this song still makes me cry. If someone ever asked me to pick a song that matches my life I would choose this song. This song helps me

[@MsArista22]

Perfection 👏

[@chubalub]

Itz been forever since I've found a band that blows me away song after song. I especially love this acoustic series. I think that is where A.T.E.'s strengths are most profound. Smokin'. You guys rock.
