I keep reading that this is about suicide, but does anyone have a source for that? It's definitely not obvious from the lyrics. In the meantime, I'll just coninue enjoying the song as it is \o/
@thosenightswrong because they've said it, and it says, if you gotta run, run from hope, meaning getting away from trying to hold on and survive through the troubles anymore, do your research.
@Barber2262 That's Richard Franklin, he used to be Captain Mike Yates in Doctor Who back in the 70s. Met him last year and got to sit and chat with him for a couple of hours, very cool guy. :)
Wow. Gorgeus song, gorgeus man, gorgeus video, that just became one of my favourites. I don't say it's perfect, but it's not supposed to be. It's lovely.
There is absolutely no possible way to be unhappy while watching this video and even just listening to the song. Noah and the Whale has made me smile yet again. :)
@ThatweirdkidDom Yeah, I give that impression by the things I say on a video-sharing website. Since you watched the video, you must like to suck dick. Asshole..
@emandude "Weirdos", says the person who searches Youtube videos for no reason other than to attempt to insult it and everyone else by calling them gay. You seem to really hate the idea of homosexuality. Do you hate it out of extreme insecurity, not knowing just how straight you really are? It's usually the only reason anyone ever has. What ThatweirdkidDom said is right. You think watching this video makes you a faggot? Why the hell do you keep coming back to comment? Replying proves you're gay.
@emandude Replying means you must indeed enjoy coming back to a "gay" video time and time again. What exactly is delusional about my logic? You didn't argue it in any way, just tried to insult my intelligence...which is just plain ironic, isn't it? Oh, and go back to school. That way you can learn a vocabulary and insult people with real words instead of made-up ones.
@azimuth457 I keep coming back just to give you something else to do besides sucking cock.
Also, if you're so damn smart, you wouldn't have put an ellipses where it doesn't belong. How do you learn "a vocabulary"? You might have meant, "Go to school to improve your vocabulary." Is that what you meant? Remember this: being gay does not give you an automatic "intelligence" chip on your shoulder.
@emandude The ellipsis was correctly used as a pause in speech. You did mean ellipsis right? Looks like we've both got some interesting errors in our comments, but you're still the one using made-up words. Besides, I never claimed to be intelligent; I didn't even claim to be more intelligent than you. After all, intelligence isn't measured by one's vocabulary in the first place. The point is: why is everyone viewing this video instantly gay? Your trolling just makes no sense...
Any chance noah and the whale helped record "so long and thanks for all the fish" from the Hitchhiker's Guide movie? =0 this is very reminiscent of it.
I like Noah and the Whale's second album. It's completely different from their first since Laura Marling left. They put so much meaning into their music and made this album perfect!
