For over 10 years, this song has been eternal and unique to me. It has the power to calm me down and give hope for the future. It has the ability to stop time. When I listen to it, I don't need anyone else, I feel at peace with myself. This song never gets tiring, it's perfect anywhere, in any circumstances: on a journey, before sleep, during moments of sadness, and even in moments of carefree dancing. It can lift your body off the ground and take it into space. It's so sweet and everlasting that it can be listened to on repeat, like an infinite symphony of life. This song is the best antidepressant and anxiety pill. That's how i feel. Remember: don't hurry, give it time. Thank you, The Horrors

[@Bil_Tbt]

I’ve just discovered this last week 😆

[@tzivirotenstreich5958]

It's not on Spotify anymore!!!

[@alexmcintosh3397]

Well used on ITV euros coverage UK, when you wake up England will find you

[@chrisfairbarn9908]

Hi

[@igorolech9454]

The whole "Skying" album is a true masterpiece. One of the most underappreciated albums of the last 2 decades.

[@sylwiasuchara9779]

I remember how this song found me in one of the most shitty moments in my life and honestly, all I needed to hear was "things are the way they have to be". Because you know, if something just is the way it is, it might just change one day. For me it did. Stay strong and wait it out.

[@bonchidude]

Change comes from the few that seek it and make it happen.

[@thugginkb]

I feel exactly the same now. And I’m waiting “giving it time”

[@lena-Ramone]

I like that song found you ❤

[@domisfyfa]

Same❤

[@AdamFreeman13]

This sounds like one of those perfect songs to play at the end of a great 1980s movie, like a Breakfast Club type of movie. Just perfect.

[@Kermitkarma1112]

my exact same thought.. vague and dazey feel to it

[@phoule76]

it's in my 80s playlist, where else could I ever put it, ha!

[@adambentley3171]

Nah man this song evokes thoughts of dropping acid in 1960's Vietnam.

[@vladimirmrtinovic2874]

Dude I watched this on That Akward Moment with zack efron and it’s so good 80’s synth wave, pop/punk, Indie but something about CROZET “Closed Shades” is the song I imagine falling in love too . It’s just so John Hughes-ish I get teary eyed

[@rde4017]

This sounds more like Simple Minds than Simple Minds!

[@arcacoma3524]

Uplifting and melancholic at the same time..Not many tracks can do that..A real piece of musical uniqueness and quality..

[@pritisat]

Soo true

[@jennhaley6633]

Reminds me of the way I felt when I first heard The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony did back in 1995/96

[@Ishyaboi98]

If getting through the worst chapter of your life then finally turning the page was a song.

[@nickdean3152]

The smiths were masters at it

[@lena-Ramone]

[@augustocaie]

Under a sky, no one sees, Waiting, watching it happening. Don't hurry, give it time, Things are the way they have to be. Slow down, give it time, Still life, you know i'm listening. The moment that you want is coming if you give it time When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me Under a sky, no one else sees, Yourself appears in front of me The sky clear, the sun heats (?) I'm here Waiting, what's happening. The moment that you want is coming if you give it time When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me

[@joatanaraujo847]

Thank you

[@lamthenews]

theres always one!!!! lol

[@samuelsimmons8078]

Its "The Sun hits" possibly a reference to "When The Sun Hits" by Slowdive.

[@samuelsimmons8078]

Also its "Your shape appears infront of me"

[@juliocesarvelasquez3867]

Precious

[@aaronquy1968]

This song lives in my head rent free and I'm 55yrs old and still loving it like the first time I heard it 12yrs ago

[@Forgottenson3934]

Has all the dna of the music we loved over the years

[@invzbleman]

i don’t know about you but the bittersweet hopeful feeling this song gives me is out of this world. AND THE KEYBOARD??? that melody is orgasmic

[@penguin0075]

100% agree with you 🙏

[@FerrerBarr]

Somehow this song gives me a sensation of hope and peace.

[@alexgaudio8755]

ik that feeling

[@skisservinterYT]

Exactly what I was about to comment. And hell I need this.

[@katharinnemagalhaes2835]

we're still needing this more than ever

[@kandimaciejewski3476]

Because this is a message from your soul 😊 Stop trying to get somewhere and just be. Be the peace that is within you. And you will wake up to realize the thing you’ve been missing and searching for is you.

[@fairytalebookreadingsasmr5279]

Yes. This is why im here. Nods

[@saulgordon493]

10 años del disco, skying sin duda es un álbum que supo acoplarse a esa hibridación entre la guitarra y los sintetizadores y que gtan voz de Faris, bien por los chicos.

[@SlowDIIV]

Qué buen comentario, es una gran descripción del sonido de la banda en aquella época 👍🏻

[@borntoclub247]

I'm here again, playing this track that just captures my soul. With most tunes, I always speed them up a bit, but with this one....slow it down, give it time. It's like the slower it gets, the better it is. I've never heard a tune like this before and never will. When you wake up, you will find me, just give it time 🤫👌

[@panos3322]

Both the song and the video feel like a 5am wandering in the city streets.You know,this time when the city lights blend with the light of the Sun...

[@dreamygirlwow]

great commentary***

[@ajh0805]

this is actually weird and crazy, but I am walking around right now, at 5:20am listening to this song.

[@5071S]

ΦΤΙΑΞΕ ΓΑΜΗΜΕΝΟ ΣΚΑΙΠ.

[@darbycrash726]

Alex Hansen Its 1:30 am and you're probably right about it being an early morning song, but I got to go sleep now cause I gotta wake up and go to work :(

[@Saffron-sugar]

+Darby lol it's not the same time everywhere in the world

[@greenvelvet]

That bass line is so simple, but it's PERFECT for the song. Less is so much more and a great tone doesn't hurt either.

[@janellevillegas4667]

A million views are probably from me. No but seriously there's something about this song that's very nostalgic. It does give a sense of hope and serenity. I like to envision when you pass on and you accept it, a song w this kind of affirmation and warmth guides you. I feel like this song also has the power to open your dream state. These visuals are amazing, but the music is so fucking perfect honestly. It's one of those songs where you can remember the first time you've heard it but also remember the time you were at your lowest and it played like an Anthem, a beacon of change. Idk but i will listen to this song for the rest of my life and still feel extremely moved by it.

[@brendanjordan6780]

Well put.❤❤❤

[@Agachrostek]

this song saved my life so many times...

[@alex90909]

how so?

[@milandjuric48]

I understand you,I feel the same.

[@PinkLloyd88]

Ale. It lifts the spirits. Its a brilliant 😠BRILLIANT🤬song. Hate that ive never heard this but i hear 24 carrot magic in the air so many times 😩 Cant say any music has saved my life but it would have really helped to deal with stuff if i had known all the amazing bands ive discovered now, then. Arcade Fire LCD Soundsystem Methyl Ethyel Sticky fingers King Gizzard and the Lizard wizard Future Islands, to name a few And ive just discovered Aldous Harding❤

[@luismartinezarteaga480]

[@mishatomskovich7103]

Tubeway army meets Neil.Young and gave birth to something even better. Hint of punk.... magical.

[@blueandwhite01]

Haunting, can't listen to this without getting goosebumps.

[@guttergazer]

The ethereal production on this song man...

[@boscobongo]

One of the best songs ever written. Absolute stunning

[@lesli7050]

This is the most emotional song for me, my dad died two years ago and this song remembers me than "When I wake up I will find him"

[@Elvisism]

The end of this track is so, so beautiful and uplifting. Feels like transcending, well, everything bad.

[@mari5london]

Ar, Britan never ceases to stop introducing a great band to the World...be proud of yourself, Brits...

[@margaretcronin4073]

The singer has a very tender truthful delivery, especially on verses. Good songwriting makes it look easy, it isn't.

[@WolfataDoor]

This is the Horrors mate!

[@lalecerna3]

I don't know why all this good bands don't do songs together and yes the cure and horrors,or depechemode and all of them

[@jimbob2405]

The band you're looking for is Simple Minds. This is essentially an homage to them.

[@marthahcleary9092]

Possibly my favourite song ever. 2011 was blissfully painful.

[@morgzyy]

I feel you

[@krystianadellaquila]

Yes, it was indeed, I lost myself that year, I used to listen to this song, and Spanish Sahara from Foals, they gave me hope and here I am, thirteen years later, grateful for the experience I had to go thru and blessed because life is so beautiful

[@rohin8616]

This is why the retro 80's has the best music & best beats & lyrics and thank god for bands like this to keep that tradition.

[@hillari1792]

I agree. It was such a great, underrated era of music.

[@ashleyscott1275]

forever coming back to this track, a masterpiece.

Some years ago I've listened to this song over and over again while I was on my very first flight. I still have so many beautiful memories attached to it ❤️

[@Calabi]

*Still life* *The horrors* *July 11 2011* Under a sky, no one sees, Waiting, watching it happening. Don't hurry give it time, Things are the way they have to be. Slow down, give it time, Still life, you know I'm listening. The moment that you want is coming if you give it time When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me Under a sky, no one else sees, Yourself appears in front of me The sky clear, the sun hits, i'm here Waiting, what's happening. The moment that you want is coming if you give it time When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me When you wake up, when you wake up, You will find me

I feel you there mate. She was practically perfect in every way.... the one I could have married, but alas, she's the one I pushed way. What a c**t I am..... But life lives on...

Watching in 2020 love this song

[@frenchkjfan9]

I remember offering the album to a friend when it came out, like it was a little treasure I was giving.

[@dckstbbr]

I love this band because they re-invent themselves in every record they put out but they always sound amazing and they always sound like the Horrors.

This is so 80's... I love it!

Could be a simple minds track

this kind of music take me to another level it has something beautiful that changes on me. to be clear... it gives me peace.

[@JoshWeisenberger]

Same here, they are one of the only bands that casts that sense of euphoria

[@JoshWeisenberger]

At least in my opinion

[@cazonaleash1]

How am I only just now hearing this song. It’s too gorgeous to not be known about.

[@carloscarias6276]

Caz Morgan honestly! I’m just now giving different genres of music a try like horror punk, indie & post punk and boy have i been missing out all these years

[@MrShahid0072]

@@carloscarias6276 have you checked out Interpol yet?

[@matthewwoodham295]

This is a song I discovered randomly when I was working a few years ago. It instantly had something about it that made me take notice, like not many songs do when you hear them for the first time. The overall production and sound of the song are excellent. Still sounds great now.

[@cmuskett100]

[@martinquarton184]

Still sounds immense.

[@aliciamarielee]

When I hear this song, I think about the time I met someone at a party a long time ago, that was probably the complete opposite of me. We had some conversation, in a factory like setting located in Philadelphia. Projector screen on a white brick wall playing music videos. He didn't want to dance, but I grabbed him and spun myself around, pulling him close to me. After, we kissed for hours on a couch. I had so much fun that night. This song never played, but similar music. It just brought me back.

[@deathaftersynth6179]

[@leratomofokeng1865]

There we moments during this year, that were so absolutely dark that I thought I could never see light again, but then I'd listen to this song and by some miracle I'd get up and continue. Still life it is

[@DamoR1988]

It's amazing to see a band progress so quickly in just three albums, from becoming 60's horror garage rockers to being inspired by Krautrock and now 'Skying' which is heavily influenced by the 80's and 90's shoegazing and new-wave. Long may we live to enjoy this talented band. Long live The Horrors!! :D

I can't believe I had forgotten about this. I was looking for The Cramps, but typed in The Horrors for some reason. I had seriously forgotten how much I loved this song.

[@strangebrain563]

I believe that what he wanted to say with "when you wake up, you will find me" is: when you finally see the truth behind it, when you open your eyes to the reason and absolute truth, then you will be able to understand me. And maybe we'll stay together or something like this.

[@foxdroad]
