Will Varley is great but his lyrics are just straight up existential crisis inducing.

[ADwhostreams]

These are actually the best lyrics I've ever heard.
How is this not recognized internationally?

[kasorbinski]

This song fucked up something in me the first time I heard it. I haven't been able to stop listening. It's such a strong song. His voice, the kind of a sadness in the song and the accuracy. It's incredible.

[charlesgill]

I honestly think I've listened to this about 10, 000 times! Amazing song!

[mrenjoiuk]

I don't understand how something so poignant doesn't have millions of people listening to it. Beautifully written. Fucking love it.

Been listening to this guy for about 4 years and I'm so happy it reached a million views. I couldn't believe its only had 600k views at one point. This needs way more recognition. Its deep for sure but its still deep enough you can drink and smoke and enjoy and dance. Rip God bless

They say "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture." It's true. This song is full of words, yet no words I have at my disposal can fully convey how powerful and meaningful it is. If I had to try, I'd make an allegory about how human emotions are most powerful at intersections, and the crossing between joy and sadness is the most human of all.

This song is aging like fine wine. I really need to see will live

[sirmars]

I went to see "the dead south" earlier this year in birmingham uk before covid took over! And will varley was one of the support acts... i had never heard of him before, he had a stage presence and a sound i will never forget!

[ktmymatey]

He was brilliant live! I am pretty gutted his new stuff isn't on spotify but he was telling me how he only got £30 for like 20, 000 plays on his first album on there so he chooses not to put his stuff on there anymore. Buy his album and support him because he deserves it. All his new stuff is brilliant. Nice guy too.

Saw this guy last night at a Frank Turner gig. Great guy and his music was awesome.

[waxabelta]

i dont like how much this touched me... Why isnt this everywhere...

[fragmentsofknowledge]

" The birds still sing when they fall from the sky " It reminds me of my grandfather... he used to play the violin... he cried when I had him listen to Vivaldi... (and he was nearly deaf at that time) ... He died during the spring... he said he would like to get outside and roam the hills one morning... 😢

[philaeew]

He deserves the attention he gets through being Frank's supporting act. And hopefully he'll tour alone in a year or two :)

[daninthelionsden]

Was a fantastic support of Dead South, the song is beautiful, eloquent, nostalgic and somewhat melancholic; glorious

[Marsllama]

Will is the kind of musician that makes us other musicians feel like we're not up to scratch.

[katieg]

Since seeing him support beans on toast the other night, I am addicted to this song, will is a lyrical genius!

[scubaducker]

As below, saw will at Frank Turner last night, sheer genius!

[billgroobe]

Such a powerful song. I've heard it 100 times and I feel the emotions every time. Well done Mr. Varley, well done.

Saw this guy at Buryfields festival around 2016, he was absolutely brilliant. Had a chat with him afterwards and very cheekily haggled to buy his CD for about £3 which was all I had in my pocket, he was so lovely and I recently listened to that CD again and it is fantastic. I hadn’t thought about him in years and I looked him up to see if he’s still making music and I’m happy to see he still is. Forgot about this song!
