LYRICS

felt myself from other side, this sunset looking like sunrise
only one way and that is time, just stay with it fall up the climb
looking close infinity, right there I saw the back of me
far-off feelings let them flow, those things I wish I knew, I've known

do it again and then do it again and then do it again and then yeah

A pill in the sea
A memory or dream
The nothing calls to me, and heres me answering
Start end again
Still gone now and then
Forever last and first, to kiss the universe

felt myself when I was gone, this sunset looking a lot like dawn
ringing on here all along, I disappear into the song
something close to waking up, those once clear pictures fade to what
distant whispers let them go, those things I wish I knew, Ive known

do it again and then do it again and then do it again and then yeah

A pill in the sea
A memory or dream
The nothing calls to me, and heres me answering
Start end again
Still gone now and then
Forever last and first, to kiss the universe
edge of the seam
whisper or scream
the nothing calls to me, and heres me answering

A pill in the sea
A memory or dream
The nothing calls to me, and heres me answering
Start end again
Still gone now and then
Forever last and first, to kiss the universe

Get better soon Louis - the world needs your music.

[RyanSaranich]

The idea that this video only has 65k views today (3 months after launch) is a travesty. I'm sending it to everyone I know. The musicianship, writing and arranging are fantastic.

[drakeheisterkamp]

Man. Louis Cole. One in a million generational talent. He and this song are everything. Thank you for everything that you do Louis. Get better soon.

[soundtreks]

The whole album is a masterpiece. The fusion of styles and the level of orchestral integration is next level.

[apocalypso]

This track is absolutely transcendent, what an incredible piece of music.

[kraftyhandz]

Sheeeesh 😮‍💨 every time Louis comes back, he levels up. Insanity.

[SergeyMiroshnichenko]

Its a case when you think that all beautiful modern music is already played and you will never hear smt new. And then you hear new amazing song created by Louis Cole.

[catefreyer]

As a few have noted, the original drafts of this piece were called "Metal." You can see it on the sheet music 0:56. Louis Cole cracked the code. You can see it in everyone's face as they perform this piece. Jules Buckley and the Metropole Orkest are sublime. Rai Thistlethwayt is ill beyond words and just stays in tight focused pocket. Peak Louis Cole composition. It has everything.

[SenninSpace]

This makes me f*** cry. I spend every damn day thinking life has no sense at all.. Until I watch this. Thank you.

[nonono]

This is one of the greatest pieces of music ever created.

[gillesiachelini]

Had to rewatch to be surprised to hear the guitar solo played on the keyboard? What a champ!

[jackcurley]

Such a huge fan of the classical direction Louis Cole’s music is taking. 2:57-3:45 is such an incredible moment on this album, wow!!!

[PatrickWatsonAstrologer]

Even for Louis Cole, this is exceptional music

[johnventura]

What a band and I've been a fan of Louis Cole, Sam Wilkes, Rai Thistlethwayte from different groups, so to see them together is fantastic.

[rh]

That modal interchange in chorus is so simple yet satisfying.

[Neon_Specs]

i love how aggressive Ray is, playing one note at the beginning LOL

[Chris-ujdh]

I'm 37 but I want to be Louis when I grow up

[Leese]

Absolutely obsessed with this and that woodwind section outro is everything.

[RobbyHuang]

Favorite song from the album. It gets better with every listen.

[MantasticHams]

One of my favorites off this album. Thanks so much Louis, this music has been sustaining me as of recent. I wish you a hasty recovery.
