[samglover]

Y’all are the most underrated group I know, u deserve SO MUCH more attention your music is insane

[marcusp]

This fits right in with 2000/2010s era Tokyo Police Club, Two Door Cinema Club, The Good Boys, and Born Ruffians etc 👏

This song makes me feel emotions I've never felt before

Notion/Lyrics

Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
But I don't need the comfort of any lies
For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending
Rise
Oh, back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters
That my end will be torture beneath the earth
'Cause I don't see what they see, when death is staring at me
I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all
If you could pull the lever to carry on forever
Would your life even matter anymore?
Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion
But it's not what you signed up for
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
But there's this momentary beam of light
You don't have to wait those salty decades
To get through the gate, it's all in front of your face
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
I'm sure there won't always be sunshine
But there's this momentary beam of light
I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion
For every shining second, this fragile body beckons
You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters
Sure it's a calming notion, but it's a lie...

This intro hits so hard with that old school vibe. Recently discovered you guys and you are killing it!

[Shysan_]

this song is wonderful in all its versions

[keanureeves]

I think the reason I love this song so much is because of how the lyrics put my thoughts into words so flawlessly. This song is irreplaceable

[ronandynan]

One of the few artists I’ve heard who sounds the same live as they do in the studio version, really shows how good a singer he is

I just realised the meaning of the song, and it's too relatable, thanks for making this song. I've opened up my eyes now. And i listened to this song too much on spotify
