This song makes me miss something I've never had. It's a weird feeling.

[virtualboy]

I never think the vocal guy looks like this lol

[Asad_.]

Dear stranger.... You have a great taste in See you again after 20 yrs.

[ren]

Listening to Apocalypse, for me, is just like falling in love with someone whom I never met.

[Jameseslick]

I Literally wouldn’t be able to tell the difference from the studio and live version.

[junlucas]

His voice is so passionate and raw, the instruments are comforting. My definition of perfection.

[snarklefritz]

“Your lips, my lips, apocalypse, ” is just the best lyric ever. Absolutely melts me.

[turboytytyt]

I never knew it was a man singing. My mind is blown

[rocketraccoon]

This song never lets you sleep. You crave for someone whom you lost. You dream that person wide awake.

[favourites]

I always imagined the vocal guy with long hairs no beard skinny n young and definitely not that masculine

[meimei]

everytime I listen to Cigarettes after Sex I wanna fall in love and kiss passionately with my lover. but reality is I've been single for my whole 22 years of existence *cries in singleness*

[WolfataDoor]

People seriously don't know this is a guy singing? It totally sounds like a dude, albeit a higher register. All that aside, they sound identical on record, wow.

[yooo]

Words cannot describe the vibes in their songs.

[brianself]

Sometimes, less is more. This band has perfected that in my eyes.

[fuckoff]

“Your lips my lips apocalypse” that hits me every time🌼

[nakashimaasuka]

HERE'S THE LYRICS!

You leapt from crumbling bridges
Watching cityscapes turn to dust
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean
From way above
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in there forever
And they just can't say goodbye
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers
Wrapped in your arms
You've been hiding them in
Hollowed out pianos left in the dark
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in there forever
And they just can't say goodbye
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Your lips, my lips, apocalypse
Go and sneak us through the rivers
Flood is rising up on your knees, oh please
Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
Come out and haunt me
Sharing all your secrets with each other
Since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket
That she gave you cutched in your fist
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in there forever
And you just can't say goodbye
You've been locked in there forever
And you just can't say goodbye
Oh, oh
When you're all alone
I will reach for you
When you're feeling low
I will be there too

[cosmic_curves]

His voice is like a warm embrace, from a love that I’ve always longed for- but never experienced. This is hauntingly beautiful.🖤

[ambermurphy]

It's amazing how beautiful his voice is. Coming from a non live version to this, it's literally identical. It's a rarity musicians don't auto tune the hell out of their music. One of my favourite songs.

[bhavikasicka]

There is something so wistful and languorous about this song. It used to play in a small coffeeshop near my university where I'd like to write and study (Borjo Coffeehouse on Monarch Way), but the place closed down. This song reminds me of freshly-brewed coffee and autumn evenings.

[justnamjooning]

Their music has such a dream-like quality. Like you are floating among the clouds
