This song came out when I was locked up, and the last time I heard this song was on my radio, late at night back in 2004 or 2005 in my cell, feeling lonely, missing my friends and family. 15 years later, and this song randomly came on today on my spotify radio, and it really took me back to that random night. Its weird. My life has gone really well, I have a great career, a beautiful family, and I'm still relatively young (34), but part of me really wished I could go back to that cell, and start all over again. No matter how well things are going. Nothing is better than the idea of going back and trying again, even if for just a 1% better outcome. I dunno, maybe I sound stupid, but I just wanted to share this, because today was a special day, because of this song. Growing up sucks man....

LYRICS : When the sun came up, We were sleeping in, Sunk inside our blankets, Sprawled across the bed, And we were dreaming, There are moments when, When I know it and The world revolves around us, And we're keeping it, Keep it all going, This delicate balance, Vulnerable all knowing, Sing like you think no one's listening, You would kill for this, Just a little bit, Just a little bit, You would, kill for this Sing like you think no one's listening, You would kill for this, Just a little bit, Just a little bit, You would, you would... Sing me something soft, Sad and delicate, Or loud and out of key, Sing me anything, we're glad for what we've got, Done with what we've lost Our whole lives laid out right in front of us, Sing like you think no one's listening, You would kill for this, Just a little bit, Just a little bit, You would, Sing like you think no one's listening, You would kill for this, Just a little bit, Just a little bit, You would, you would.... Sing me something soft, Sad and delicate, Or loud and out of key, Sing me anything.

The feels.

One of the most beautiful songs I have heard in my entire life. Such a beautiful video, also.

This song brings back so many memories. Would always play this song over and over again. This will always be one of my favorites. Love that piano solo to start before the lyrics and don't even get me started on the words "around" and "balance". The way them high notes are held on them words. THE FEELS BE TOO REAL!! I love how at the end of the video everyone in the train is dancing and then dancing together after pairing up with one another and they're slowly swaying to the song. That prom night feel and them aesthetics of the lights are just amazing.

It's the first day of 2024 and marking like 20 years for this masterpiece and im still here the world is a much different place but this song remains the same, Beautiful..

I saw them in Vegas with Something Corporate while I was in High School and have been listening ever since, great album, great band!

Man this song takes me back to high school in the early 2000's. They played this song last during my prom in 2005. Oh the nostalgia

Still listening all these years later To this day it still gives me goosebumps 🖤

Beautiful... especially the conversation between the deaf. I can feel the intensity of their emotion.

I'm so sad. I finally found this song again. My friend Kenny showed me this song when we first met 7 years ago. I miss him and all this pure music.
