0:53 - I found you.
1:02 - I found you exploding.
1:08 - I found you beautiful.
2:34 - In this smoking chaos, our shoulder blades kissed.

Listen to Fred again.. - Kyle (I Found You)

I'm here from Fred again, I found you!

Your words are beautiful

Thanks for sharing this! People may or may not know, but this poem has gone through three different titles; I think in my book, it's called something else. But it's a poem that means a lot to me, for not-so-linear or easy-to-explain reasons. Excited about the opportunity to share it.

Fred Again led me here. My wife and I heard Fred Agains version on Tiny Desk, then I’ve been jamming to the original this morning. My wife asked “did you ever look up the poem”. I stopped working and searched it up, so glad I did. What an amazing poem.

An amazing voice and expression. I’m here from Fred Again... his voice and the beat together, it’s magic.

"Every swing of the axe,
A bedroom's liquid whisper." *snaps*

Guante does metaphor like nobody else. I love it.

[goatkiller]

One of the three greatest love poems ever written.

[JaySherlock]

Can't get Fred helped me find you >>> but damn the words the feelings so electric and powerful <<< I'm a huge fan !

[pickausername]

Take this masterpiece, let a musical genius sample it... I feel happiness I don't get to feel often.

His delivery reminds me of a poet I saw a decade ago. I have his name on the tip of my tongue, the edge of my thoughts, his name sits there, legs dangling waiting for someone to rediscover him again. His story is my story, for I was a child when I heard his voice.. where are you.

[Medisonmusic]

Our shoulder blades kissed. And now i'm crying. I swear I'll come for you

[jamiellis]

Every month I come back to this poem and find new layers, references and meaning. Amongst all of that are different emotions. Damn this guy is good!

[OfficiallyMaidenless]

I wanted to hear this in full context and I'm so glad I did. I've never been drawn to poetry but this truly was powerful and raw. Genuinely moved me to tears.

[FossKhan]

The fact the Fred Again took parts of this that would have otherwise been forgotten, but then turn it into a whole entire song, really brings it to life and keeps this poem alive in some way. I think that is pretty cool

[bqwadseertg]

I swear Guante's poetry will never cease to make me feel all of my emotions even deeper than I usually do. They're always so beautiful and meaningful.

[trailrunnersye]

Here via Fred Again. Incredible lyrics. Incredible music.
