When my mom and I were really struggling, and we had no furniture in our place except a folding table, two chairs, and a couple of blow-up mattresses, my mom would plug some speakers into her laptop and blast this in the morning for us to dance to before I left for school. There was 6 month span in 8th grade when it was just us, and my dad was still in Costa Rica, trying to sell our house. But my mom's "morning mixes" kept every hard day starting good..... I love this song.

I think because it's a mix (electronica/singer-songwriter) that not many have dabbled in. I mean I can only think of David Gray, Duncan Sheik, and Everything But the Girl off the top of my head as far as acts that have successfully blended the two. I'm sure there are others but it was something I hoped to hear more of but not a lot of artists have done it.

LYRICS HERE! I am thinking it's a sign That the freckles in our eyes Are mirror images And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate That God Himself did make Us into corresponding shapes Like puzzle pieces from the clay And true it may seem like a stretch But it's thoughts like this that catch My troubled head when you're away And when I am missing you to death And when you are out there on the road For several weeks of shows And when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home They will see us waving from such great heights Come down now, they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away Come down now but we'll stay I tried my best to leave This all on your machine But the persistent beat It sounded thin upon the sending And that frankly will not fly You'll hear the shrillest highs And lowest lows with the windows down And this is guiding you home They will see us waving from such great heights Come down now they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away Come down now but we'll stay They will see us waving from such great heights Come down now they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away Come down now but we'll stay They will see us waving from such great heights (Come down now)

It was the song of freedom and love for me, as I had just graduated high school, the summer this was released. I was working at Papa John's Pizza and in an undefined relationship with a girl at the time. She and I just clicked in first period on the first day of freshman year and had been best friends since. That summer, as I delivered pizzas around town, this song filled my car as the thoughts of young love and friendship filled my mind and heart. Her and I had a chance of becoming more than friends, but as the summer ended, so did we, entirely. Everytime I listen to this song, I'm transported back to being 18, singing along with my friends, feeling the glow of uncertain love, and the freedom of a full tank of gas. I have no regrets of the past as they have made me who I am. This song is a reminder to me to always enjoy the moment.

Yes, it is. I first discovered it on Video Juke Box, among the usual pop, hip-hop, and metal videos. There's just something strange, innocent, and beautiful about it.

[@kennethshort2016]

@@1oolabob it really is a strange video. The video projects the opposite of the song and it's intimacy. I think the creepiest part is when the camera zooms in on the chip.

The nostalgia that comes with this song is served bittersweet. I feel a slight comfort and deep sadness while having a weird smirk on my face as this song takes me back to being a pre-teen, not having a single serious worry in the world and full of hope for what the future held. 20 years later, it hurts so much thinking of those times while I almost smile about it too. I miss my childhood house, my old room, my family, all of my friends, and the overall happiness life seemed back then. Life is not bad for me now, but I do really struggle with nostalgia as time seems to distort itself as we get older. Remember to stop and take a mental snapshot if you feel it may be "one of the good moments".

When Me and My Brother Were Young (from like age 2 to age 6) my parents would always play this when we were on long travel trips at night or when they just wanted us to go to sleep, And When They played it at night it would always make us fall asleep. Our parents nicknamed it "The Pacifier". After a long time my parents and my brother and I forgot the song Name. So I spent SEVEN.FUCKING.YEARS!!!! Looking For This Song! AND I HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! (Started Searching at age 6 and I am now 13)

That's crazy because I'm 21 and I remember hearing this song when it first came out in 2003 (I was 8 and you were probably barely born). Since a kid as well I was searching for the name of the band and didn't find out 'til many years later in adolescence! My twin brother and I would only be able to listen to this song when it came out in the radio, because KZbin wasn't made 'til 2005, and we knew the word to every lyric when it came out! I love hearing it when I'm in nostalgic.

The heat radiating from the vents in my truck, tranquility this melody puts off, the words that so closely match how I felt all those years ago… music and the memories that are attached to songs on such a deep level is as close to time travel as the human race will ever be.

This video was shot in a fab owned by Skyworks, who make radio-frequency chips (not microprocessors) found in a vast number of phones, wifi routers, etc. You very likely have a chip made on the equipment in the video in your pocket right now.

***** Yeah I wondered that too. I remember it without the blurred portion.
