Facts
Hi
Why does this song give me a sense of nostalgia...?
Peabody and sherman?
Because it is nostalgic dont want to grow up..
Because this is one of the best songs to exist which now is very rare
Ross 1616 Well... Because you heard it when you were younger and most likely happier, and nostalgia is a sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.
Because this is an older song
Its March 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song💖
Just heard it, and it is still a banger. ❤

Stop writing this on every sad song you fake clown 🤡
Good luck. I hope you find him alive and well.
Nostalgia is such a confusing feeling, I can’t tell if I’m sad or happy or both
it's the feeling of reliving memories by remembering
ikr it's mostly sad tho
IKR
I remember This song in pes 2015 and in need for speed,obs I'm Brazilian
Nostalgia is really weird ,even today I remember the drawings,the movies,the things I used to do when I was a child,ir makes me Sad,and e when I go back to watching the drawings,the movies,etc...it gives me Joey sadness,you Sant to grow up,but after he grows up,he wants to go back to what he was
This song is 7 years old, time really does fly geez

[Intro]

Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
[Verse 1]
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[Verse 2]
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[Post-Chorus]
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
[Bridge]
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh-oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love (Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above (Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?
Oh, how am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
[Outro]

This song makes me cry. Especially the sentences,
"And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love, grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above,
but if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?"
You know why? These sentences and the title are about the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the Roman city of Pompeii. Over 2,000 people died in this eruption.
Why does it almost feel like nothing changed at all then? Explain that. (I'm asking why the singer asked that question.)
@@FilipinoNoob69420the pyroclastic flow encased a bunch of bodies and buildings in volcanic ash, effectively preserving them
@@Jelly-lc2db yeah, but the singer said "nothing changed at all" can you explain why he said that? What's with the present and the past and about it being the same?
@@FilipinoNoob69420 I think it is what they just said. the bodies were preserved, so they remained like statues, and therefore, they "didn't change at all". I might be wrong though.
@@FilipinoNoob69420the singer said "but if u close ur eyes does it almost feel like nothing changed at all" because he ment to say that if grew up in that city u can close ur eves and remember all of your memories from that city like nothing is changed.
When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression.

“Grey clouds roll over the hills, bring darkness from above”
I never really noticed how deep that line is when thinking about it deeply.
It’s almost about 9/11
@@ethankunabotketh9893You could say that.
@@ethankunabotketh9893 no its about the Roman city Pompeii, like the name of the song, Pompeii was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius erupting "Grey clouds roll over the hill" volcanic ash, ain't no hills in New York. Why would a band from the UK make a song about 9/11, nearly 13 years after it happened, people just keep putting this song over footage from 9/11.
I fits in perfectly with Pompeii Tragedy aswell as 9/11
But if you close your eyes doesn’t it feel like nothing changed at all?

You rlly had to copy another comment?
11 years... One of the most beautiful and shocking songs I've ever heard.
Incase you were wondering about the songs meaning, and the music videos as well i’ll explain. The song is named Pompeii and talks about the tragic event that happened in 79AD in the city of Pompeii when the nearby volcano erupted and the city was covered with meters of ash and smoke. As the people of Pompeii tried to escape their inevitable death, some took shelter and prayed for one last time while being engulfed in flames. Body’s of people who lived in Pompeii are still being found to this day. As for the video the black eyes represent the ash, smoke, and chaos all around, as he tries to escape from pier agony until eventually he can’t run any longer.
Thank you
Tbh I feel ridiculous for not connecting the same to the lyrics
Not to be the one that is a smart ass but that isn't quite what happened in Pompeii. The event went for a few days and the majority of people left before the volcano erupted. The ones which died were normally the caretakers of homes (basically surfs) which were told to wait and guard the house incase it was a false alarm (which had happened a few times in the past) and that once it settled down the population would return. Everyone just went to the city down the road which was on the ocean.
it doesn't have much to do but something really similar happened in my home country two years ago and honestly I can't listen to this song without remembering everything that happened...
If you're wondering the country is Guatemala and a volcano eruption literally buried towns and there's still missing people until now.
I live in Italy, I can confirm that.

Hmm, probably the wall of **Berlin** ? I know it's in between Germany and I forgot what other country but imagining playing this song to the fall of the wall of **Berlin**

Nah mate it's forever be Eh Oh to me.
@@peachout6227 yeah
Wasn’t Pompeii a city that got destroyed
J Stokes why yes, it was. In 79 A.D, a volcano erupted and eradicated the landscape.
