    Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting there reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others to feel better. Have a nice day. :)

    I went to a small roadtrip with a woman I recently met.. this song started playing while we were drivin by the coastline and the summer breeze was gently messin up her hair.. what i saw, what i felt while this song was playing moved me deeply.. i think i saw everything i ever wanted.

    This song is incredibly special for me. A long story in short, I was doing a voluntary charity in the rural South Africa. I would listen to this song running in the mountains before anyone was awake and sometimes in crazy conditions like rain and snow. But somehow I could listen to this song breathing in that mountain air and push on. One morning a deer ran full blown across my path nearly hitting me, but this song reminds of one same moment I had for many months. The feeling of isolation while I was running. Up to the halfway where I normally stretched. At this point the sun would just be peaking over the horizon for the morning. I could fall, something could attack me, (yes that rural) and the worst part would be no one would be able to help me, let alone find me. I have never felt so alone, but in that moment, together with this and and with an absolutely gorgeous view, I was alive. 😌 I come back here from time to time, to remember that feeling. Cheers I hope you enjoyed my story x

      Nostalgia is maybe one of my favorite feelings since I was a kid. It gives me the momentary happiness of that moment one more time, but then comes the sadness when we remember that this moment Will never come back, and life will never be like that again.

    When this song was released I was in the midst of a devastating end of a relationship. In a nutshell, it ended because we were at different stages in our lives and had to move apart to follow our own paths. My boyfriend at the time, (the love of my life to that point), sent me this song to me about a week before the last time we were together. We were living a thousand kilometres away but trying to keep it together, while knowing that so much in our relationship was broken beyond repair for many reasons. After hearing it, I knew the door was still open. I asked if I could come see him. I was dying to see him. I listened to this song almost on repeat while I drove to his house, spent one last night with him, and left the next day. I was never with him again. Fast forward: 9 years later. We’ve both moved on, in marriages, with kids. But. This song hurts me to this day. It brings back a visceral pain. It’ll be with me for life.

    Absolutely fantastic clip giving the song additional dimension.

Her in blue light and foam falling over / him in red light with ashes falling over. Past bonfire, presence blaze.. Man, it's great.

    Now do you see it, the dream is gone
    Fatal fire, moving on
    Why do you need it in the ways to come
    Over you, the undertone
    Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
    Like the first fires
    Run from fences, you don't have to pretend
    First fires
    And if you find it don't let go
    For a time keep it going
    Don't even fight it, the leaves fall
    Over me, this heavy load
    Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
    Like the first fires
    Run from fences, you don't have to pretend
    In the first fires
    And all your memories are caught in the burn
    For the first fires
    Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
    Like the first fires
    Like the first fires
    Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
    Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again

    • @SeanEC79
      @SeanEC79 Před 8 lety +26

      +Alex Pimentel Well, in a nutshell, when I stopped smoking after 22 years, music seemed to sound better and there were certain tracks that I listened to over and over while at work and this was one. I was happier to stay at my desk listening to music than go out to smoke. "Disclosure - Help Me Loose My Mind" was another. I can't explain why that is and it still happens. 2 years later and I'm still a non-smoker! :)

    • @Auteckre
      @Auteckre Před 8 lety +7

      Yeah, this song and video together are evidence for why I prefer EDM's take on R&B to mainstream R&B or Rap; references to intimacy and sex are way subtler and preserve a bit of the enchantment of love and relationships.
      The lyrics don't contain a single expletive, nor does the video contain scenes geared blatantly towards titillation. A few frames of the couple kissing and the removal of a couple articles of clothing next to, presumably, the titular "first fire" suffice to effectively convey themes and subject matter that are now conventionally communicated via excessive profanity, nearly total nudity and overtly sexual dancing and gyrating.
      The addition of the popular digital, EDM sound used in the mainstream to smart lyrics and filmmaking, in my opinion, constitutes a tasteful yet powerful treatment of the subject of passion and desire.

    One of the best music videos I've ever seen. Maybe the best and definitely my favourite. Totally a short film in its own right and a complete melodrama in the purest sense of the word. Still, works perfectly well without the music, as the emotions that drive the story get perfectly conveyed by its gorgeous cinematography and by its visual language. I'd go as far as to call it a masterpiece. I hope we get to see more work by Young Replicant (director/cinematographer) in the future.

It's hard to watch people go on about their life like you never mattered. It's difficult to see your children grow up before your eyes and not be there to witness every moment.
