Back in my highschool years I was at the boarding school, and in my last year I was thinking "those are the best years of my life". My roommate used to put music to wake us up on the morning, and we changed the compil every month. So the last month of the last year, he decided to put this song, and every day I was waking up to this beautiful sound. 3 years later, I still listen to it on the morning, and I remember how life was good those days. Take care of yourself, enjoy moments as simple as the one I just told you about, and listen to music. Great life. EDIT : Thx to all of the people who responded here since I posted the comment, it's kind of incredible to see that I can share with so many people with words and that we can feel the same about this song, even if we live in different places of the world... I wanted to mention that I asked a few month ago to my former roommate if he still listened to this song in the morning, and guess what, after 5 years, he still does, like me !!! Anyway, after a long time of being in different places in France for university, we now both live in Paris and we see each other very often, life is still as good as it was before ;)

Its beautiful that you had such a great time and your roommates sound amazing. But don't limit your life's potential to beliefs like that please you are soo young. There is no thing such as the "best years" of a life. You can have the most wonderful life and feel and enjoy it so very deeply. Much love (by the way, the 20's seem and feel and are quite rough sometimes but just keep going, everything will turn out just as it was meant to be)

this song feels like a dream

Lyrics: I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky By the flashing lights I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue And came out alive I knew a boy I knew a man that looked a lot like you I knew a time I knew a place that felt a lot like you I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky By the flashing lights I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue And came out alive I knew a boy I knew a man that looked a lot like you I knew a time I knew a place that felt a lot like you ~Musical Interlude~

Song is so relatable to going through stages of anxiety and depression and feeling like your being ‘swallowed by the sky’ but always coming out alive, such a mood.

just on the plain about to take off on my way back home from an introspective solo trip. Remembered this song and now I’m crying ❤

Haha nice .cool teacher

What an exquisite experience to have heard this, a fiercely devastating violin - a guitar that keeps the heart beating, bearable, and vocals that spell the inside of my brain, that give breath to my soul. . . Thank you.

This is such a beautiful music piece and a beautiful interpretation. It conveys so many emotions at the same time: A mix of melancholia and sadness, but also a subtle touch of nostalgia and... hope. It feels like the notes remind me of a distant past, where everything was ok, no matter the situation, no matter the sadness, a time where everything felt floating, light, and soft. Like if I were on a distant cloud, observing from afar, and just contemplating without doubt or anxiety all the events that took place all around me. A nostalgia for a distant past that I didn't even experience, and that probably didn't happen. Thank you so much to both the musicians for this incredible experience.

His voice is incredible! Always in my playlists.

i'm writing a text for father's day. In this letter, I said to him to listen to this song while reading my words since this song makes me feel deeply nostalgic. Now, i'm reading my letter again and i'm crying. Thanks colors for musical experiments like this. We owe you so much. If you're reading this, keep your family close and take care of yourself.

I cried. I legit cried watching this. I never heard of him before, now I need to know who is this white boy that made me cry. This was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

Spirit flows just right through these two young men wonderfully!

This is truly an ethereal masterpiece. It just seems to reach out and lightly touches the Soul. Tom and Tobie you have created a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with the World. Please, please create some more artistic pieces like this.

Not enough people know this guy I feel sad that people are going crazy over people mumbling words that are supposed to"rhyme" that's not even wrote by them and miss out on such a beautiful man who puts soul in his music and even more soul in covers.

Most beautiful song ive ever heard!

I still watch this everyday...Perfection...Tom and Toby are mastering their craft 💯❤

This is one of the most soothing songs I have ever listened to. Tom Misch is everything!

This is like being covered in a warm blanket (like the really smooth sort of furry kind) when it's cold outside, and you just feel like nothing could go wrong. When you tuck your feet in and it's the perfect temperature.

I swear to god that violin is giving me goosebumps every single time I listen to it!!!

These 2 need to make more music together. This cover and "Day 5: for carol" are some of the most soul touching, serene music I've heard in my damn life while keeping elements of sadness, nostalgia and hope all in balance without any emotions overpowering one another. It just makes me feel content with everything.

What in the world?! That song is another level music! Have to hear it more than once to assimilate it.

As a fan of Tom Misch - so glad he put me on to Patrick Watson - so much good music out there

Colors Berlin please stop reading in my mind ! My whole playlist is in your channel ! Much love

I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky By the flashing lights I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue And came out alive I knew a boy I knew a man that looked a lot like you I knew a time you could stand still beside Never rushing by I knew a place you'd go for your head to explode Into peace of mind I knew a time I knew a place that felt a lot like you I knew a boy I knew a man who looked a lot like you Just like you I knew a friend that would hold on to the flames Keep them from burning you I knew a smile like that could see through all of the stones That the world had thrown I knew a smile I knew a friend who looked a lot like you I knew a boy I knew a man who looked a lot like you
