Mount Vesuvius, a volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, has erupted more than 50 times. Its most famous eruption took place in the year 79 A.D., when the volcano buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii under a thick carpet of volcanic ash. The dust “poured across the land” like a flood, one witness wrote, and shrouded the city in “a darkness…like the black of closed and unlighted rooms.” Two thousand people died, and the city was abandoned for almost as many years. When a group of explorers rediscovered the site in 1748, they were surprised to find that-underneath a thick layer of dust and debris-Pompeii was mostly intact. The buildings, artifacts and skeletons left behind in the buried city have taught us a great deal about everyday life in the ancient world.
It's the same feeling as the bad playing on the deck of the titanic as it sank. It's really beautiful and human and it helps to know humanity is out there being alive and dancing and singing and eating together no matter what. Death really isn't so scary, it's just sad and heartbreaking
Many generations later ( if we make it past the next 10 years ...) They will hear this song and just feel a sense of nostalgia and happiness even if they've never heard of it.
This makes me feel a way I never imagined I could feel. This song is a major comfort for me, and the way it travels from ear to ear like this....Instant calm for me.
this song makes me cry my eyes out, i used to listen to this song and vibe to it when days were easier. now i’ve gotten older and i just want to be happy.
Most of the people in the comments: “I remember when I was young and this was in the cars radio.” Me: “but if you close your eyes, dose it almost feel like nothing changed at all.”
“But if you close your eyes. Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all” it doesn’t feel like anything’s changed, but dang how much I would kill to go back to being a little kid jamming out to this song in the car with my parents.... now I’ll be jamming out to this song with my friends in the car, no more parents, no more “can’t say that word”, no more being a little kid....
I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show 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? 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? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settles around us 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? 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? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? 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? 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? If you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
I've been addicted to the history of Pompeii city this past few days. And I have never appreciated this song not until now. The lyrics is so sentimental
I be straight vibin to this, it’s bringing back memories of when I used to play this on repeat in the 4th grade on the bus to and from school. I listened to Pompei on my chrome iPod4... those were the simple days and I miss them even more than I miss my family🥺
As soon as I heard this, I started crying. Idk this whole corona virus has got me so stressed out and this makes it seem..better? I'm just so upset rn. I want it to go back to normal.
This song is Legit nostalgia from my childhood, To good old days from 2012 and now they are gone 😖 miss it so much Right now Also I just realized how dark maybe the lyrics are of u really listen to them
PotatoesAre_Jesus yup same 2014-2014 were th best haha 2015 was okay and was 2016 2017 I'm starting to slow down 2018 I guess I'm gonna have to get used to this 2019 same just got a bit worse 2020 virus- end of the world.
Reminds me of the Football Club Barcelona we had before. Now officially Leo Messi has left us. The one person who I hoped would have stood with us till the end... All things come to an end I guess but this song reminds me of the 2015 season we had MSN 💔
This song for me is just 2014-2016 where we didn’t have so much toxicity in the social media and life was just fun and carefree. Where nobody cared about this or that. When Gen Z was young, and wild. I want to scream this song while driving on a highway in New York. Imagine, wow.
Depends on the season. Summer: 5am. The consentrated leftovers of yesterdays ginger-water. Not only dancing, but singing, and preferably a song that realy should be sung by the other gender. (The drink sounds awfull, I know, but it's mild yet distinct in a way that creates nostalgia. Simmilar to petrichor or the seasonal changes in how thr air smells.)
if u listen to this song at the start like think of stuff sad that make u cry and then when it says but it u close ur eyes, close ur eyes and think about happy stuff that make u laugh or happy. its the best thing ever!
🥺 this makes me remember when we were all just kids that had fun. No stress,No sadness,And school was actually fun.Just think about all the memories you have made with all of your friends
I loved this song I found out about its existence yesterday, I don't really know the meaning, in case you don't know I'm Brazilian but I loved the song in English, see you next time people
1000th comment ;)) This feels so good too Edit 1: its currently 26th September and England is running low on fuel, wow this is an amazing feeling... anyway I hope there are more edits below this
I remember singing this back when I was younger going “I miss when I was younger” like biss sthu you ain’t even in secondary school yet. Now your a confused 13 year old having an identity crisis and your parents are divorcing, now you can miss when you where younger.
i used to listen to this while i sat in my back garden in the calm of the night. "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?"
I just realized that pompeii is a city that was destroyed by a volcano so i now understand "the walls kept tumbling down on the city that we love" i forgot the other part but it was about the clouds being dark cause of the smoke of the volcano
Anyone just vibing to this at 3 in the night
Yeah :/
I am lol
•Sillow• same
I’m vibing to this while I should be asleep cuz I got class 💀
Well it is 2020 so it made a good song into a better song
