[leahkrokowski]

This is one of those songs that I have heard a few times... but it took until I went through something myself to really understand the lyrics. It is melancholic, whole, and pure music. Love love love.

[NoDishes]

Savanna scatters and the seabird sings
So why should we fear what travel brings?
What were we hoping to get out of this?
Some kind of momentary bliss?

I waited for something, and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
It's our dearest ally, it's our closest friend
It's our darkest blackout, it's our final end
My dear sweet nothing, let's start a new
From here all in is just me and you

I waited for something and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
Well I guess it's over, I guess it's begun
It's a losers' table, but we've already won
It's a funny battle, it's a constant game
I guess I was busy when nothing came

I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)
I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)
I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)
I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)

I waited for something and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
I waited for something and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived


:D

It hits me hard, don’t know I just connect to this song everytime I listen it, a myriad of emotions take over me, not a very good feeling, not always a bad either!

[sethryder]

This is the song I want to be played at my funeral.

[aidanoflaherty]

That is perfection right there.
Chap is so good.

[MrAwesomesize]

This is the best version of this song! Truly amazing

[dkln]

Musically & lyrically masterful. A very very under valued song. Really like it 👍🏼

[IgnisMDB]

I just discovered the acoustic version in dec 2020. I remember when I first listened to the original track and was unbothered. But oh man! This acoustic version is amazing! Love it!

[tugglesf]

Some voice this lad

Some voice on him

[ISEEKSPACE]

This guy has a beautiful voice dude. Absolutely beautiful.

[marton]

Only heard this today. How did I miss it!!

[ariyamaya]

I watched a few others, but this is the best acoustic version of this song I reckon. Amazing!

[seanhealymusic]

Such a good song and performance, that's even clearer in the acoustic version in my opinion

[madisonmakris]

Easily one of the most beautiful songs lyrically

[issyjas]

Stunning, he has a very distinctive voice, from a person who loves Lennon, Bowie and Brian Wilson

[burtonkeeble]

Totally great song! Love the guitar work, and the contrast between the cheerful guitar and the mournful lyrics.
I hope you'll write a bunch more like that one, in that style.

[prismcat]

The Hollow Point made me search out this song. Hauntingly beautiful.

[patriciajrs]

Very interesting young man. Haunting, fresh. I like the lyrics. Your voice is quite passionate. Nicely done.
