I’m slow in letting go
White lies underneath will show
In time the demons deep below are trying
We hide in the underground
We dream a world around
Our busy brains ignore the sound of crying
Its easy to romanticize the past
I only want to leave a thing that lasts
Time will pass, surely will
Your years underneath the sun
Fresh face where lines have come
The burning bodies of the young and fearless
How long will it take to fall
How long for you hit the wall
I’d banish all from rise and fall if i could
It’s easy to romanticize your past
I only want to leave a thing that lasts
Time will pass, surely will
If not now, when I won’t wait for an afterlife
If not now, when can I taste you upon the night
Our eyes if you take my hand
You’re sad and I understand
How can smile when you’re so busy dying
Us ravage on the run, must fend for everyone
Our selfishness can be undone i know this
It’s easy to romanticize your past
I only want to leave a thing that lasts
Time will pass, surely will
If not now, when i wont wait for an afterlife
If not now, when can i taste you upon my life
The markers of the day move very fast
I only want to build a thing that lasts
Time will pass, it surely will
I’m slow in letting go
White lies underneath will show
In time the demons deep below are trying
We hide in the underground
We dream a world around
Our busy brains ignore the sound of crying
Its easy to romanticize the past
I only want to leave a thing that lasts
Time will pass, surely will
Your years underneath the sun
Fresh face where lines have come
The burning bodies of the young and fearless
How long will it take to fall
How long for you hit the wall
I’d banish all from rise and fall if i could
It’s easy to romanticize your past
I only want to leave a thing that lasts
Time will pass, surely will
If not now, when I won’t wait for an afterlife
If not now, when can I taste you upon the night
Our eyes if you take my hand
You’re sad and I understand
How can smile when you’re so busy dying
Us ravage on the run, must fend for everyone
Our selfishness can be undone i know this
It’s easy to romanticize your past
I only want to leave a thing that lasts
Time will pass, surely will
If not now, when i wont wait for an afterlife
If not now, when can i taste you upon my life
The markers of the day move very fast
I only want to build a thing that lasts
Time will pass, it surely will
Epic music video! I am getting the 1DX Monday but intend to use it solely for stills. Your videos inspire me to pick up video making as well. I'm not sure which route I'll go down to but I will have to start with the bare basics. Were the clouds enhanced in Post or all done with grad filters? Judging from the caravan shot I would say filters no? Thanks for inspiring me and greetings from Berlin!
Love the song, love the video...plain pure and beautiful. Can't wait for the album and the documentary. Great to see his recorder, his guitar and to hear his story about songwriting. Ron...
I've always wondered why Olly and Gale haven't got more recognition, they were/are pioneers of indie folk. They are better than Mumford and Sons, Ben Howard, and the like (subjective, I know). It's a real shame, they are truly underrated. They're also amazing live!
More clearly, look at the door in the motor home in the background in 1:23. It's more obvious there. I don't really know if that's aliasing or something happened to the processing of the shots of the 1DX (like I said, it looks as if the image was uprezzed without filtering).
And just to illustrate my opinion on the GH2, here's some footage I shot in the woods. There's lots of compression artifacts and softness, but the detail is evident, specially in the more steady shots: /watch?v=UfOq7wLwh84
Just amazing live, i agree so much. Saw them a year ago in London (Koko) and again in Iceland a few months later. There were moments when they performed at Koko that just gave me chills, it was so amazing.
