flatsound | by your side (official music video)

see myself in a screen
wasting days, counting weeks
getting more familiar with how you speak
while you're away from me
but i don't want to say goodbye
because it's safer when i'm by your side
i want to be near you
like i'm meant to

but hey
i think it's going to be alright
when we're sleeping and i'm by your side
i want to learn to fly
but it's safer when i stay inside

i want you
but the monster
won't let me
escape here

your music is so beautiful and moving. No other artist gives me the vibes you can create.

[natachasmith]

Its one of those things were you don't know how to respond, just with a proud feeling and a deep love and respect for you and what you just created

[eduardo_gallardo]

I'm glad you are evolving, the instrumental complexity of your music is much better, but it's not just that ... the rhythm ... melody ... the lyrics have always been the best and they're still, I love this music.

[Deadcops]

This song got me through the worst time of my life. Thank you.

You know that feeling when you've taken pain medication and when it finally kicks in, you get the warm feeling that spreads around your body that you only feel when you're at such peace? And your mind is calm and nothing can hurt you? when you feel like you're floating? That feeling is this song. 
It's dancing with the person you love with nothing but the light from the moon and the stars pouring in from an open window on a warm spring night, the softness of their skin and the safe feeling of intimacy holding you together; your heartbeats might as well be in sync. 
It's seeing the first rays of sunlight when you've stayed up all night and only in that moment, you feel like you can finally sleep.
It's the feeling after you've cried for hours and when the last tear falls, you're no longer sad or angry. You feel a tired peace, and the tears on your hands and cheeks turn cold while your mind rests and you know you'll be able to sleep tonight.
It's walking out into the sun and feeling the warmth hit your skin, swirling around you and coating every inch of your body in safety that you can only get from being outside.
It's those few minutes as you drift off to sleep, nothing to bother or frighten you as you lull off and let everything melt away.
this song is peace.

My now wife sent me this a couple years ago when we were dating long distance and would only see each other every few months. This was the first song to make me break down in tears I think ever, it hit me so hard because I found the lyrics to be so relatable at the time. I still listen from time to time, but I'm glad to have her by my side every day now.

i will never forgive flatsound for making this

[briannababb]

this song used to bring me feelings of peace, comfort, and joy when i listened to it. but now it just makes me panic and cry every time i listen to it.

[fadeintoyou]

Some days ago, I laid in bed at 6am, listening to your music as my cat slept peacefully beside me, on my duvet. It was a wonderful feel of complete peace, and I will make sure to play you a lot this summer so that I can bond my memories of summer with your music. Thank you for this.

[HannahWho]

This song reminds me of my childhood. I don't know why. It's like an auditory trigger for a random memory. I hear it and suddenly im 4 years old in front of a VHS rental store with my mom.

[spacegiirl]

The last few days haven't been the easiest. I remembered this song, and for some reason I thought it might help me calm down a little. But from the very first lines, I burst into tears.
This song is so beautiful and painful at some point.

Today at 2 am, I tried to sleep but couldn't. I preferred to listen to some music and opened my Spotify. After a few boring songs, Spotify randomly changed to this song. I wonder who made this song that made me stare at the ceiling the whole time it played. And I finally found it on youtube and wrote this comment. I just want to say thank to the singer who created this masterpiece. It perfectly suits my mood right now. I blame myself why I didn't find this song on May 20, 2018 (when this song was released). I was very depressed and sometimes wanted to commit suicide but this song helped me to calm down and think again. Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for bringing this masterpiece into my life.

Your music mesns a lot to me and I appreciate you for whatever you do.

[daiana.d]

Its quite interesting to me that even after only knowing her for 3 years. She made a life's worth of happiness in such a short amount of time. I know that, that's the happiest I'll ever be but it didn't even last long. But what I can say is I'm thankful for even the smallest amount of time given to me to experience such ethereal emotions.

[PsilocybeFaerie]

I lose myself in your art. This is an incredible piece Mitch.

I listened to this song earlier and of course I liked it, didn't understand the lyrics as well as I thought I did then from now. Just read your blog post on it and what it's about and as I started reading the lyrics again I started crying and now my eyes are burning.

[Greymourning]

I hate/love how this song is super relatable to me, thanks for making giving up way harder.
