left a few shouts on here about a year ago now while i was going through one of the worst periods of my life & living through an all-encompassing, gutwrenching unrequited love that only this song is able to describe. this song is forever solidifed in my mind as one of the most beautiful and painfully raw descriptions of what it means to be human, to feel, to love, to live, and i will forever hold space in my heart for it. i listen to this song now and lament all the time i wasted chasing after something that never was, something that ended up hurting infinitely more than it ever helped. know that you should not sacrifice the love you have for yourself for loving someone else. know that it will all get better in due time, it will all come to pass some day x

i know it's not the most 'impressive' song on the album but i just feel like this one + mark's theme together are some of the most beautiful music i've ever heard. just conveys some intangible emotion that nothing else ever has for me.

I get the impression that this is one of the lesser-loved songs on the album. Crazy to me. It's always been my 1st or second favorite. Guess it resonates most with a certain type of person

"you are the only one i've known who broke the world so quietly, and turned your perfect hands to me, and you ruptured every bone." is such a beautiful lyric... the twinkling piano at the end of "so quietly" in tandem with the raw emotion in isaacs voice and the swelling of the violin makes it sound so tender and like the sincerest admission of love, the absolute embodiment of how it feels to meet somebody who has had such a profound impact on your life, an effect completely unparalleled by anyone who had come before or after them, a feeling so tender and true that you will only be able to find in them. there is a quiet brilliance about them, something otherworldly teeming beneath the surface of their skin that you itch to know and unravel. it is this utterly profound sense of curiousity and affection you feel which causes your undoing even if you may not realise it, the way in which you love being something which burns so strongly, so pure that it breaks you.

they break you, even if they may not realise it. and you are too in love, too foolish to realise - or, perhaps, unwilling to accept - that loving them hurts you more than it helps you... or at least, this how i connect to that line and how i perceive it. i love you all. hang in there.

You're absolutely right. I find it amazing how bcnr is able to use instrumentation to strengthen and enrich the story of the lyrics. It's clear that they understand the nuance of both their instruments and the non-verbal ways humans express emotion, like in your example. It's one of their greatest strengths as a band, and one of the reasons I think Ants From Up There has had such an impact on so many people, myself included.

Songs that make me audibly curse at public transportation (as my body trembles and an unwelcome suggestion of tears hover over my eyes).
