Matthew writes such beautifully sad songs. They break my heart and then put it back together, stronger than it was before. This is one my favorite songs of all time.
I fucking love this song so much. It feels like the end of everything when you feel like a ghost. Experienced it. And this song stayed with me all the way. Can’t believe it’s been over 17 years since this album has been released. Man I’m getting old.
lyrics Sit on a train, reading a book Same damn planet every time i look Try to relax and slow my heartbeat Only works when i'm dead asleep Been thinking and drinking all over the town Must be gearing up for some kind of melt-down All i am is a body floating down-wind What's wrong? Nothing Are you sure nothing's wrong? Yeah But you're sad about something Yeah So tell me what I don't know I can't tell you All i am is a body floating down-wind As the express train passes the local It moves by just like a paper boat Although it weighs a million pounds I swear it almost seems to float And as we pass by each other Our heads all full of bother We can't look, we can't stop We can't think, we can't stop Because we're stuck in our own paths And it's the way it always lasts But i need something more from you
Letra en español❤: Sentarse en un tren, leer un libro Sit on a train, reading a book El mismo maldito planeta cada vez que miro Same damn planet every time I look Intenta relajarte y ralentizar los latidos de mi corazón. Try to relax and slow my heartbeat Solo funciona cuando estoy completamente dormido Only works when I'm dead asleep He estado pensando y bebiendo por toda la ciudad Been thinking and drinking all over the town Debe estar preparándose para algún tipo de fusión Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento All I am is a body floating downwind Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento All I am is a body floating downwind ¿Qué ocurre? What's wrong? Nada Nothing ¿Estás seguro de que no pasa nada? Are you sure nothing's wrong? Sí Yeah ¿Pero estás triste por algo? But you're sad about something? Sí Yeah entonces dime que So tell me what No sé I don't know no puedo decirte I can't tell you no puedo decirte I can't tell you no puedo decirte I can't tell you no puedo decirte I can't tell you Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento All I am is a body floating downwind Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento All I am is a body floating downwind Sentarse en un tren, leer un libro Sit on a train, reading a book El mismo maldito planeta cada vez que miro Same damn planet every time I look Intenta relajarte y ralentizar los latidos de mi corazón. Try to relax and slow my heartbeat Solo funciona cuando estoy completamente dormido Only works when I'm dead asleep He estado pensando y bebiendo por toda la ciudad Been thinking and drinking all over the town Debe estar preparándose para algún tipo de fusión Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown A medida que el tren expreso pasa el local As the express train passes the local Se mueve como un barco de papel It moves by just like a paper boat Aunque pesa un millón de libras Although it weighs a million pounds Te juro que casi parece flotar I swear it almost seems to float Y mientras pasamos uno al lado del otro And as we pass by each other Nuestras cabezas llenas de molestia Our heads all full of bother No podemos mirar, no podemos parar We can't look, we can't stop No podemos pensar, no podemos parar We can't think, we can't stop Porque estamos atrapados en nuestros propios caminos Because we're stuck in our own paths Y es la forma en que siempre dura And it's the way it always lasts Y necesito algo más de ti And I need something more from you Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento All I am is a body floating downwind Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento All I am is a body floating downwind Flotando a favor del viento Floating downwind
I think about the uptown 4-5-6 pulling out of 59th St in Manhattan every time I hear this: "As the express train passes the local It moves by just like a paper boat Although it weighs a million pounds I swear it almost seems to float" That's gotta be what Matthew is singing about, right? Love this song so much!!!
Probably the 5000th time they have played that song but they all look so joyful, especially the drummer, great band. They got a little too poppy for me after this record but their first three records were great
@@stephenbarone4053 yes absolutely professional band, perfect performances everytime I’ve seen them (twice, once in 2008, once in 2015) I’ve been a fan since High/Low

Always a wonderful sound. Have always loved these guys
Man that Middle Eighth-3:30 when he gets to the part about we can’t look, we can’t stop... very emotional. What a great tune.
Has to be one of my favorite musical moments in any song, ever.
Keep coming back here . What a song. Its like my favoite fishing spot. Aint gonna tell nobody about it. Dont want anyone fishing it.
To collect back, beautiful. All guys in synch. Especually the drummer. Good rhytym.
Jesus, imagine listening to this on the radio. So incredible.
I'm going through the shittiest time of my life...and I honestly feel like this song has saved me many nights...
It gets better man. Music like this helps, for sure. But don't forget to reach out for help if you need it.
same here and your message is written 6 months ago. tomorrow is 6 months how my wife died.
Vladimir Vasiljevic man keep on going, it will get better. pozdrav iz zadra
Definitely, same here! Such a beautiful song.
Vladimir, so sorry for your loss.
so underated
And so good! :)
6:04 el añadido a la canción le da todavía más fuerza expresiva. Qué gran canción.

I’m here March 2023❤️
still amazing. i never even heard this extended version with added lyrics before
echo and the bunnymen - ocean rain ;)
This might be the best song I've ever heard
lyrics
Sit on a train, reading a book
Same damn planet every time i look
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
Only works when i'm dead asleep
Been thinking and drinking all over the town
Must be gearing up for some kind of melt-down
All i am is a body floating down-wind
What's wrong?
Nothing
Are you sure nothing's wrong?
Yeah
But you're sad about something
Yeah
So tell me what
I don't know
I can't tell you
All i am is a body floating down-wind
As the express train passes the local
It moves by just like a paper boat
Although it weighs a million pounds
I swear it almost seems to float
And as we pass by each other
Our heads all full of bother
We can't look, we can't stop
We can't think, we can't stop
Because we're stuck in our own paths
And it's the way it always lasts
But i need something more from you
-Dad why is my sister's name Rose?
-Because your mother loves roses.
-Thanks dad.
-No problem, Nada Surf - Paper Boats (Live on KEXP).
Mi canción favorita, mi grupo favorito .. dice tanto en tan poco. Love u guys! Infinitamente agradecido.
Letra en español❤:
Sentarse en un tren, leer un libro
Sit on a train, reading a book
El mismo maldito planeta cada vez que miro
Same damn planet every time I look
Intenta relajarte y ralentizar los latidos de mi corazón.
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
Solo funciona cuando estoy completamente dormido
Only works when I'm dead asleep
He estado pensando y bebiendo por toda la ciudad
Been thinking and drinking all over the town
Debe estar preparándose para algún tipo de fusión
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown
Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento
All I am is a body floating downwind
Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento
All I am is a body floating downwind
¿Qué ocurre?
What's wrong?
Nada
Nothing
¿Estás seguro de que no pasa nada?
Are you sure nothing's wrong?
Sí
Yeah
¿Pero estás triste por algo?
But you're sad about something?
Sí
Yeah
entonces dime que
So tell me what
No sé
I don't know
no puedo decirte
I can't tell you
no puedo decirte
I can't tell you
no puedo decirte
I can't tell you
no puedo decirte
I can't tell you
Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento
All I am is a body floating downwind
Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento
All I am is a body floating downwind
Sentarse en un tren, leer un libro
Sit on a train, reading a book
El mismo maldito planeta cada vez que miro
Same damn planet every time I look
Intenta relajarte y ralentizar los latidos de mi corazón.
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
Solo funciona cuando estoy completamente dormido
Only works when I'm dead asleep
He estado pensando y bebiendo por toda la ciudad
Been thinking and drinking all over the town
Debe estar preparándose para algún tipo de fusión
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown
A medida que el tren expreso pasa el local
As the express train passes the local
Se mueve como un barco de papel
It moves by just like a paper boat
Aunque pesa un millón de libras
Although it weighs a million pounds
Te juro que casi parece flotar
I swear it almost seems to float
Y mientras pasamos uno al lado del otro
And as we pass by each other
Nuestras cabezas llenas de molestia
Our heads all full of bother
No podemos mirar, no podemos parar
We can't look, we can't stop
No podemos pensar, no podemos parar
We can't think, we can't stop
Porque estamos atrapados en nuestros propios caminos
Because we're stuck in our own paths
Y es la forma en que siempre dura
And it's the way it always lasts
Y necesito algo más de ti
And I need something more from you
Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento
All I am is a body floating downwind
Todo lo que soy es un cuerpo flotando a favor del viento
All I am is a body floating downwind
Flotando a favor del viento
Floating downwind

Cette musique et cette version sont un chef d’œuvre ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing artists!

Love this song so much!!!

"All i am is a body floating down wind.."
SUBLIME!!!

Anyone got the lyrics for the non-album verse?
this would be perfect for adele to cover. she could make this tragically sad song a truly depressing one
Haha, I like it. This song deserves more attention for sure.
They don't sound good live.. great song though, awesome band.. just not live...
then you must have not seen them live in person
@@notquitearmy Agree. Seen them live twice and they were stellar. Also, they were like 15 years or more younger when they recorded this track.
