For over 10 years, this song has been eternal and unique to me. It has the power to calm me down and give hope for the future. It has the ability to stop time. When I listen to it, I don't need anyone else, I feel at peace with myself. This song never gets tiring, it's perfect anywhere, in any circumstances: on a journey, before sleep, during moments of sadness, and even in moments of carefree dancing. It can lift your body off the ground and take it into space. It's so sweet and everlasting that it can be listened to on repeat, like an infinite symphony of life. This song is the best antidepressant and anxiety pill. That's how i feel. Remember: don't hurry, give it time.
Thank you, The Horrors <3

people with good taste in music we meet again

[aleja_kosmonautów]

The whole "Skying" album is a true masterpiece. One of the most underappreciated albums of the last 2 decades.

[HistoriesPast]

One of the best songs of the 21st century.

[arcacoma]

Uplifting and melancholic at the same time..Not many tracks can do that..A real piece of musical uniqueness and quality..

[augustocaie]

Under a sky, no one sees,
Waiting, watching it happening.
Don't hurry, give it time,
Things are the way they have to be.
Slow down, give it time,
Still life, you know i'm listening.
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time

When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me
When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me

Under a sky, no one else sees,
Yourself appears in front of me
The sky clear, the sun heats (?)
I'm here
Waiting, what's happening.
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time

When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me
When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me

[FerrerBarr]

Somehow this song gives me a sensation of hope and peace.

[zachciankowa]

I remember how this song found me in one of the most shitty moments in my life and honestly, all I needed to hear was "things are the way they have to be". Because you know, if something just is the way it is, it might just change one day. For me it did. Stay strong and wait it out.

[invzbleman]

i don’t know about you but the bittersweet hopeful feeling this song gives me is out of this world. AND THE KEYBOARD??? that melody is orgasmic

[aaronquy]

This song lives in my head rent free and I'm 55yrs old and still loving it like the first time I heard it 12yrs ago

[AdamFreeman]

This sounds like one of those perfect songs to play at the end of a great 1980s movie, like a Breakfast Club type of movie. Just perfect.

[saulgordon]

10 años del disco, skying sin duda es un álbum que supo acoplarse a esa hibridación entre la guitarra y los sintetizadores y que gtan voz de Faris, bien por los chicos.

[pamelaadams]

Before the destruction of original music. If this song had been on the charts in the 90s it would have been a bigger hit.

[guttergazer]

The ethereal production on this song man...

[greenvelvet]

That bass line is so simple, but it's PERFECT for the song. Less is so much more and a great tone doesn't hurt either.

[boscobongo]

One of the best songs ever written. Absolute stunning

[marthahcleary]

Possibly my favourite song ever. 2011 was blissfully painful.

[panos]

Both the song and the video feel like a 5am wandering in the city streets.You know, this time when the city lights blend with the light of the Sun...

[margaretcronin]

The singer has a very tender truthful delivery, especially on verses.
Good songwriting makes it look easy, it isn't.

[Calabi]

Under a sky, no one sees,
Waiting, watching it happening.
Don't hurry give it time,
Things are the way they have to be.
Slow down, give it time,
Still life, you know I'm listening.
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time

When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me

When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me

Under a sky, no one else sees,
Yourself appears in front of me
The sky clear, the sun hits, i'm here
Waiting, what's happening.
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time

When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me

When you wake up, when you wake up,
You will find me
