All The Umbrellas In London - The Magnetic Fields

If I live through the night I could be all right
it'll make a good song or something
I've been trying to give myself reasons to live
but I really can't think of one thing

I drive around
I walk around in circles
'cause I've got no sense of direction
I guess I've got no sense at all

All the umbrellas in London couldn't stop this rain
And all the dope in New York couldn't kill this pain
And all the money in Tokyo couldn't make me stay
All the umbrellas in London couldn't stop this rain.

I don't cry anymore I walk out the door
and I usually keep on walking
I may sit in a bar where the cocktails are
but I really don't feel like talking

I ride around
and let the darkness fall
'cause I've got a sense of perfection
and nothing else makes sense at all.

"I drive around. I walk around in circles 'cause I've got no sense of direction. I guess I've got no sense at all."

The most relatable lyrics I've found in the 10:00 PM time frame.

"ive been trying to give myself reasons to live but i really cant think of one thing"......perfect...

[mnm2125]

someone actually disliked this? Gotta be a Justin Beiber fan

[jbrodu]

@Kralex me too and yet i keep listening to it. this is a bad song to listen to when you're depressed.

[SweetMisirie]

Sad songs usually make me more depressed, but the magnetic fields just make me think: "at least someone else has lived through this misery."

[LadyBizzleBoy]

@CzechDetectingChap We have many sorts of mob spread throughout Europe, we've had nazism and all the other kinds of fascism, Southern Italy (i live there) has got plenty of poor cities, with rubbish in the streets, and people living in tents. Europe is not such a happy place, considering that everywhere in the continent there are new fascist and nazi parties forming and promulgating the same ideals as they used to decades ago.

[Maxdg1013]

I have to say.

What kind of discussion is this?

We should be discussing the (awesome) music.

[TheMastakilla4201]

Czech guy you are awesome. I live in america. It sucks ass! Everyone hates each other! Fuck this place. Lol

[bon1931]

you are intellectually (or psychologically) incapable of addressing my substantive points. Also, you are grievously ignorant of American culture and (it appears European history). If you had grasped my last point, then you would realize that it makes no sense to attempt to place me in the position of having to defend wholesale American foreign policy and all iterations of its culture. That is not a burden anyone should have to bear. The locus of moral responsibility is the individual.
