Name: The Trapeze Swinger Origin: Iron and Wine Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt7O8gDy0DA" data-time=" I don't imagine it changes your overall opinion much, but this song isn't so much meant to be about someone looking back at their life as it is a frank examination of how two people who once were close can slowly drift apart, through no fault of their own, just because their lives happened to go in different directions. They could've been happy together had either of them been just a slightly different person, but it wasn't meant to be, and even though he's long since accepted that and now has Heaven waiting for him, he still can't tear himself away from spending a few more seconds looking down at the girl sitting in the back row at his funeral. I've always appreciated the beautiful writing in the song but I never really got it until I started to drift away from one of my best friends and realized how perfectly that feeling is captured here. Name: Head Home Origin: Midlake Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dQMHBy3NvQ" data-time=" I agree with you that the song isn't "happy," but I do feel like it's almost hopeful in a way? I don't know, to me there's something comforting about retaining the fortitude to persist in your way of life and to appreciate the small pleasures, however few they may be, of that life, even as the rest of the world has more or less passed you and that life by. Maybe I'm overly sentimental or optimistic. Name: Zelos Origin: Mandroid Echostar Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bewCi4xEWJ0" data-time=" If you still have any interest in Mandroid, Sacred Fire off that album is the one I'd consider much closer in quality to Zelos than anything else. And the Citadels album is a much stronger effort than Coral Throne overall. Name: The Grocery Origin: Manchester Orchestra Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0nfNw6SS54" data-time=" I oscillated quite a bit on nominating this because the subject matter was so heavy, but I was really curious how you'd react to that. Hopefully I didn't do any lasting mental damage. --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights <cite>NBIceman posted [p:928419357] in Raetsel ra...
