[@josephhammer4103]

[@tazviper22]

I heard this song on 911 and loved it

[@joygoulet5132]

Exactly!

[@johnthomas8706]

I looooooove this song!! Made me cry so hard! Don't we all have these moments where you just wish things would just be okay...

[@fitting-in624]

John Thomas all the time!

[@emilychaite8650]

Same. Here. !

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

I've been waiting for something to go right for almost twenty years.

[@shekharnagle6204]

John Love u budy

[@fitting-in624]

All the time 😢

[@lifeofaydinx]

When you lived a life of abuse, trauma, and the subsequent mental illnesses caused by the former, this song speaks to you.

[@Paul-nm8cw]

1000% so true

[@antonellamelian7716]

😢 es verdad. Incluso cuando la vida fue dura y ves que nunca llega la luz.

[@alikabdulla2025]

Manifest brout us together ❤️

[@helenBeaton]

Daybreakers yes

[@myriambrahmi2600]

I knew the song before but I was so so happy to hear the song in there

[@suebanks7851]

911 tv series brought me here This song was in my head before I woke up this morning, glad to be here...

[@evanhill9494]

Dang, hearing Colin's voice like that in the beginning was so comforting

[@midkay]

This track is amazingly great for being so simple. When those first synth notes hit at 1:30, that really hit me in the feels. Something about the warmth and almost euphoric quality of the synth and melody.. they’ve changed completely since Picaresque, and this is a whole different kind of song experience, but a really emotional journey nonetheless, just a new kind for them. I think it’s beautiful, I’m actually psyched for this album!

[@maras.online.adventures]

Wow. That synth at 1:30 is just.... Wow. This whole song... Just resonates with me. The music. The lyrics.

[@cgzepp]

I love where they're going with their sound. The Decemberists never ceases to amaze me

[@71bekbek]

Daybreak brought me here❤

[@JP-mb2uj]

Finally, a song I can memorize in 1.5 minutes! Take that Mariners Revenge!

[@EarthyPoetGrrl]

Hahaha! Truth!!! :)

[@PhnxrusB]

I know the whole song 😝

[@seriouslyserious5174]

For real! You should of broken the like record on KZbin!

[@titusjames4912]

Lol you can do the same thing mariner's revenge. You just have to be listening really fast.

[@jodilyn]

😂😂😂❤❤👏👏👏👏

[@FeatherInPhilly]

Synth drop at 1:30 ... did someone in a John Hughes movie just fall in love?

[@ghostmovement1789]

Comment Of The YEAR.

[@melissawolf3960]

FeatherInPhilly 🤣 so awesome

[@elliottcsmith5447]

Funny, Colin Malloy said that was EXACTLY what he was trying to channel, the kind of high emotions of 80s John Hughes movies (on podcast Exploded Songs) as he felt that really had no right to make this a personal statement as he had a great a life. Nice insight. :-) But also awesome synth drop.

[@earthpal]

FeatherInPhilly Spot on. Very 80’s vibe throughout ... with a definite touch of New Order thrown in.

[@CrackaLackaHacka]

It's because the first two chords (V Imaj7) and strumming pattern are the same as Please Please Please Let Me by The Smiths, but it's raised half a step to D# major. The song was frequently used in John Hughes' movies, and I would bet money this song was heavily inspired by Please Please Please Let Me.

[@marcolopes4700]

9.1.1. Season2ep18 great music

[@vividimagery000]

so I just went to one of their concerts, and a kid (we’ll call KID 1) was like; “WILL YOU PLAY ONCE IN MY LIFE?”

[@natanaru]

Glad daybreak reminded me this song existed. Added to all my playlists

[@OPArsenal]

It's Morrissey meets Death Cab and I love it completely

[@GiovanniDiGregorio]

exactly

[@JBinOtown]

They wish they were Morrissey

[@joannaklein3476]

Morrissey is awful

[@dss2856]

So's death cab.. They suck ass.

[@msguide]

Oh, for once in my Oh, for once in my life Could just something go Could just something go right? Oh, for once in my Oh, for once in my life Could just something go Could just something go right?

[@sukida.]

Qurrat Jamal hey have you just been hoping between songs in the baybreak soundtrack and doing this because i saw this in in another life if so thank you you are awsome

[@maras.online.adventures]

This song brought me to tears when I heard it on the show Manifest. I had to find it.

[@chrismcdonough5877]

I was recently introduced to this band and I gotta say that they are very good.

[@gavinjohnson611]

Glad to see daybreak got this amazing band more attention

[@sienna8081]

9-1-1 brought me here great episode season 2 episode 18 can't wait for season 3 to come to nz!

[@ectcyclesmore497]

65 days clean off drugs and this song just bring nostalgia, was always looking for love in lost things 🙏

[@fitting-in624]

I just love this song for so many reasons

[@Hoodlamb420]

Daybreak 🔥

[@lisahiselius6539]

This song is so bloody good

[@0h_Hi_there258]

Love LOVE his voice!

[@HenryMex2023]

I am very excited!! They will come to Montreal in June and it will be my first time I watch them. I hope it will be a great concert!!

[@matthewburrell1045]

Digging it! The keyboard has a Cure vibe. Can't wait to see them this summer ❤❤❤

[@tyl3rs0ngisc0nfus3d]

Oooo, so good!! Always the highlight of my day when I hear a new Decemberist song!!

[@mr.notsocreative]

Only the OGs remember these guys from Parks and Rec

[@dss2856]

The first time I heard this song I had just had my 3rd heart attack of 2018. 6th overall. I've wepr everytime that I've listened to this. Tomorrow i get to have my foot amputated, this song is bringing me some solace.

[@EnosEverything]

Cracking song Gromitt !!!

[@neiroooooooooo]

This song made me a daybreaker~

[@Garrison1971]

This is a very simple, yet in some ways so deep and meaningful. The lyrics explain what we all feel from time to time (wishing for better days) and yet, the music and upbeat celebration is almost an underlying joy that you just need to persevere. Things won’t always be so bad.

[@lifeofasurvivor5555]

What is the meaning of the song?

[@stinky9706]

The song is like a 5 minute version of the one lyric in Youth and Beauty Brigade, "I figured I had paid my debt to society." Which is to date, the most beautiful lyric written and I've ever heard!

[@kylemeloy5445]

Memeowth youth and beauty brigade had a whole lot of lyrics, I think it was on the Castaways and Cutouts album

[@aggies1242]

Love it, I’m so excited for the full album!

[@will_riddle_]

Beautiful. What a perfect package of a song!

[@jasonr6118]

Really enjoy the song, so far love both songs released with Severed jumping to one of my favorite Decemberists songs!

[@monicajean4249]

Needed this song...thank you.

[@robhaunui3343]

This should definitely be a single,and owes its heritage to 80's Irish band The Adventures,and their song "The Trip To Bountiful,When The Rains Come Down" off their 1988 album "Sea Of Love".That was one stunner of a song,and so is this by The Decemberists.

[@seapower61]

Rob Haunui Hit the nail on the head. All the elements are there. Classic from 1988.

[@jasonsoutthere7733]

I don't watch TV and have no clue what Manifest is, nor do I care. A song has never brought me to tears like this.

[@vsander09]

Very strong link to The Smiths “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” both lyrically and guitar line.

[@SamuelBaker21]

Gorgeous. Thanks Colin

[@eklypps1134]

Thanks Colin, this has now become my internal anthem...(!) 😘

[@jennychristodal6757]

I heard this song on Tim Minear's programme 9-1-1 and loved it

[@NikoBleau]

I really needed this song right now. Beautiful

[@OregonMinuteman]

[@sierraschullar5614]

Manifest season one brought me here!

[@staceygamble4492]

Sometimes it’s difficult to watch things unfold when you know things that you can’t explain…🤐Faith🙏🏼

[@DxSatelliteRock]

Great song guys

[@Dank-Hill]

I'm so excited, my mom and I are Super Dynamite Action Concert Goers... It's going to be the best concert. And all of The Decemberists are incredibly friendly. (Ok well I didn't meet John Moen and Colin honestly seemed too nervous to interact with fans) but Jenny is the nicest musician I've ever met.

[@MarkConnely]

Open-throated, on-point & legit.

[@raulmartinez7156]

Sweet song

[@Leonardhbrown]

The official music video for this song is surprisingly uplifting.

[@djminion779]

The best song ever

[@stinky9706]

I'm so excited for the album! From the looks of it, it seems to be like hazards of love, an album with a similar theme. Hell, maybe it might be all connected.

[@tbledsoe83]

That's what I was thinking! Concept album!

[@MarkConnely]

I love you guys.

[@jorgemarcelodealmeidaantun4178]
