P O M P E I I

Dead town,
was already empty but now it’s locking down
but you and I can still go ride around
We’ll ride that ring like it’s just been found

How are you gonna spend your lonely night?
How are you gonna spend your only life?
When I’m in your embrace
I can hardly describe how much I love that place

I wish we could stay, forever this way
Just like Pompeii

That fateful sun is just going down
Just like the disaster before we’re drowned
Did they feel this way that night in Pompeii?

The deepest desire I can’t explain
If it wasn’t for love then it’s all in vain
Did they feel this way that night in Pompeii?

When you finally say you’re gonna set me free
I know I can’t give you what you need

I’ve been chasing that sunset my whole life
I know I never make it there in time
but sometimes you just gotta try...
I’d say I love you but I catch my breath
cause whatever I love I always love to death

Can’t believe that when we said goodbye
we were saving all our money for the afterlife
We said our Love you’s just the other night
but now you’re saving all your loving for your future wife

(Come on, bello!)

Pompeii
Like the love in your eyes right before love dies
Pompeii
I believe in signs, are you reading mine?
Pompeii
That’s when I realise, we’re immortalised

Molly Nilsson's music is very underrated. She has a completely unique style that can't be compared with anything else. Whenever I listen to her songs, I feel joyfully melancholic. And I love it.

[gordonhinze]

I find, she.. makes warm/cold music.. in the same time... And it seems to me..her Heart is pure gold and warm.:-)

[pipefx]

"i wish we could stay forever this way / just like pompeii" god damn one of the best songwriters for real

[gloverelaxis]

Molly: PLEASE play this track in your live shows!!! it's so good

[stephanie]

oh monday turns out to be a happy one with new Molly Nilsson song

[alanprice]

Heard this Saturday night at Pet Shop Boys concert as part of their pre entrance music, thought it was brilliant. Can't stop playing it.

[dd]

Finally I get to hear a Molly song on the very first day...

[isufkovaci]

As soon as the first synth riff started playing, I knew I was going to be obsessed

[brianbannon]

I wonder if Molly is fully aware of her amazing charisma. It's a rare intangible quality that very few people possess. She could easily play an alien or supernatural entity in a movie. Her eyes alone seem to convey a deeper mystical presence.

I participated on compilation where she had put material too, back in 2013. I got to meet her irl. Participating in a project with an artist like her is a once in a lifetime experience:
She's just gorgeously genuine. <3<3<3 As Hjördis Britt Åström put it "Dieu bénisse Molly Nilson" <3<3<3

[tobiaskerber]

One of the greatest love songs ever written!

[NightFlightism]

she's so beautiful and smart. wish there would be video interviews of Molly.

[jonesy]

This has been the best song I've heard in the 28 years I've been alive. Thank you so much for making this..

[island]

ohhh that little fox... you cant go wrong girl such a good song..

[iamyamour]

I wish I could listen to your life story, Molly. I feel like I'm living the lyrics in my heart. you're singing the song but it's like you're singing it for all of us. this feeling I've never experienced before. Thank you so much

[MikeSwirled]

I wish we could stay forever this way just like Pompeii 😂

Genius.

[claudeclemmer]

Not typically my kind of music, but I cannot listen to any of her songs without smiling. An artist that (in my opinion) has never made a bad track.

[kennethamon]

Molly you should write a book, I can't describe the feeling when I'm listening to this song, thank you <3

[landen]

You help so many people with your music and take us to some beautiful places with it and i hope you know that 💖
Love you so much, i ll forever be thankful for your music❤️
