Lyrics:

I saw a picture of you today
At an art exhibit
On memory lane
You wore those pearls we found on Champs-Elysées
Framed like the golden masters!

Forgotten all these years
Falling like rain
A true thought appears
Oh, the genius of pain!

Without a name!
Pouring like rain

Cuz I’m on my back; on my back again
Words we had to describe the same feeling
Now without a meaning
Cuz I’m on my back; on my back again
Looking at a hole in the ceiling

I watched a movie of you today
Silver screen adapted from my thoughts
on Broadway!
You saved the world
We lived in such harmony
Blockbuster sales in twelve countries

Remembered all these years
Falling like rain
A true thought appears
Oh, the genius of pain!

Cuz I’m on my back; on my back again
Words we had to describe the same feeling
Now without a meaning
Cuz I’m on my back; on my back again
Looking at a hole in the ceiling

This song (and band really) probably saved my life. I was in a low place, and I didn't really wanna go on, but my friend introduced me to this song, and I immediately fell in love with it, and listened to it and a lot of the other songs and albums and they gave me the will to keep going.

[noellenorris]

this is like an art exhibit for the ears

[artvjon]

Oh my GOD this is beautiful. This album is truly spectacular.

[rosardgz]

Francois and Sameer's voices, together, are pure delight. This is, by far, the best version of this song...

[gamergrrl]

okay okay but did anybody else have to pause the video for a breather when sameer came in with the vocals because I almost just died

[tbZaadk]

Are we ever going to get an In the Open album?

[razzbag]

holy shit he's a good live singer

[buttercupisevil]

God, this was perfect. I'm so glad that the drummer (Francois, right?) does more vocals in this album. His voice is amazing.

[chaitea]

Revisiting this song and this album bc it changed me as a writer and musician. Ive been a fan for years but this live performance is something else. So whimsical and forgiving. Thank you ❤

[regiloureiro]

This song makes me believe in God. “I’m on my back again” touch me in a special way

[Mila.Akilah]

When God blesses your ears with Young The Giant.

[jaja]

This band is the shit, its my favorite indie band.

[ashtongoundas]

Headphones make this so much more immersive. More personal and emotional.
Sameer and Francois are such amazing vocalists and I love Young the Giant so much.

[katefaraday]

i cannot get over how perfect this is.

[musicspeaks]

Sameer's voice is so beautiful and this was amazing

[saphia]

i haven't heard the studio version yet, but I'm not sure i want to. this is perfection.

[eleanorscott]

Those harmonies on the chorus give me shivers, this whole piece is so beautiful

[PlayitAgain]

Actually have tears in my eyes. In the open always kills me but this song was meh to me on the first few listens and this had me hooked in ten seconds.

[ysfhbb]

Probably my favorite In The Open. Hauntingly beautiful.

[snazyone]

He has the most beautiful voice I have ever had the pleasure to hear
