I hope all my days
Will be lit by your face
I hope all the years
Will hold tight our promises
I don’t wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don’t wanna be old and feel afraid
I don’t wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don’t wanna be old and feel afraid
And if I need anything at all
(Ooh! Ah! Ooh!)
I need a place that’s hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
Though all the world is broken
I need a place where I can make my bed
A lover’s lap where I can lay my head
Cause now the room is spinning
The day’s beginning
This video is all a dream. If you listen to the lyrics, its him not being able to sleep at night because he's scared of growing old. Then we sleeps he stays in this constant state of worry. He doesn't want to be alone and needs someone by his side because he's scared. Then the very last line is when he wakes up.
What an amazing group, .. such depth in simple melodies that for some reason...stop us all in our tracks and make us want more from the emotional side of life...
It took me a couple of years to realize that video was inspired by The Seventh Seal of Ingmar Bergman. Love this video and love Bergman's film! Is there any other allusions?
The 31 people who disliked this were not educated enough to understand it and its meaning. This song is one of most beautiful pieces of music i have heard!
I really didn`t like this Album when i first heard it, but the more i listened to it, the more i`ve come to realise that i`ts an absolute masterpiece. One of my all time favorite albums. It`s incredible.
Keane's best and weirdest track. It just sounds so beautifully... wrong. Then the chorus comes along and it's heaven. And then the ending with the mermaid sounding thing.
my take on this video is that people go through life meeting and finding other, but often the connection is broken, relationships end etc. death is the only thing that is universal, everyone is gonna die some day (pay attention to the ending, everyone walking together holding their hands).
There is a lesson there... don't wait until the end to live in harmony, life is the only thing that everyone has in common.
I hope all my days
Will be lit by your face
I hope all the years
Will hold tight our promises
I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid
I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid
And if I need anything at all
I need a place
That's hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
The modern world is broken
I need a place
Where I can make my bed
A lover's lap where
I can lay my head
Cos now the room is spinning
The day's beginning
