My parents were put of love by the time I was born and they would've never. My entire childhood was dad drunk in pool, arguing, and my brother hitting me all the time. But thanks 😂
Since everyone is doing povs: POV: You're walking down the streets to your new apartment. It's raining and you don't have an umbrella, not that you need one anyway. You feel the rain falling from your hair to your shoulders. You love the rain, it's so calming. Your shoes get wet as you walk through the puddles. You walk next to a building and suddenly you hear this music. It's so calming.. you stop to listen to it for a while. You imagine yourself dancing to this with your dream partner. Suddenly someone walks into you. They apology: "I'm so so sorry.. I didn't see you I was um.." you cut them off "listening to the music? Yeah me too." You two akwardly stare at each other but it feels good, you two were meant to meet each other here. As you look down to your soaked shoes he suddenly asks "Ma'am.. I know we just met but.. do you want to dance?" you look up to his charming eyes. You can't really see the eye colour but they look very calm and peacefull. You laugh softly. You look into his charming eyes again; "Of course.." and you grab his hand. He brings your hands to his neck and lays his arms on your back. Not too far down. "He is just, perfect.. just perfect.." you think as you both slowly start dancing. The peacefull sound of the music on the background and the rain falling on both of your faces. But you both seem to not mind it, you're just enjoining this peacefull moment. It feels like time has stopped. You rest your head on his shoulder and he rests his head on your head as you keep dancing. You don't even have to say a thing to know, that you two are meant to be. 15 years later You walk home with your husband from getting some food from the supermarket. As you walk past the same building you hear this music again. You look at each other and you both start to laugh. "Ma'am.. I know I just met you but.. do you want to dance?" He gives you a cheecky smile as you laugh at his joke, feeling your cheeks turn red a little. You grab his hand and start to dance again. There she is, your daugher comes running towards you. "Mommy? I wanna dance too!!" Your husband grabs your daughter and you start to dance with the three of you. Everything is perfect, again. And this all of a rainy night next to a lovely building. The end Edit: Thank y'all so much for your support, ot means so much to me!! Y'all have given me inspiration to write my own book!!

Thank u guys for responding to my comment, bless you all 💗💗💗
theres just another kind of feel to this video, when you listen to this while it's actually raining outside. the thunder, the lightening, the smell of the earth when the rain hits the tarmac, it makes me miss something, but I don't know what.
idk for me it gives me kind of a sense of relief and it makes me miss the feeling of just going crazy over someone there's so many things I miss I'm still reallllyyy young I don't know what falling in love feels like or what loving someone you like like feels like but this song just kind of sums it up if that makes sense ?? srry but your comment is super relatable

POV:I'm on my window looking to rainy NYC skyline all alone on my apartment then from my floor to ceiling apartment window I see an old couple slow dancing near their fireplace on this song.
POV: You're walking down the streets of Milan, it's raining, but only slightly. You don't have an umbrella, not that you care for one either. You feel the rain drops hitting your hair, your face, your arms. It feels cold and warm at the same time. There's a small cafe right around the corner with its doors open. You hear this song suddenly come up. You last heard this when you caught your parents dancing to this in the living room at night. That was the last time you saw them smile and say "I love you" to eachother. The memory makes you smile while a small tear rolls down your eye. You're lost in your thoughts when someone bumps into you and mutters a soft apology. The voice, it's a little husky. the texture of it, like silk and daisies. You look behind to catch the owner of that voice and to say "it's okay" but instead you find your eyes fixated on him, your mouth runs dry. He looks at you too, eyes unmoving from your face. You feel like you've known him all your life, but you don't remember who he is. Your heart is beating fast, your hands shaking and cold. "Why am I feeling so sad?". His POV: I bump into her while running for the cafe. it's raining like crazy but there she is, standing without a care while the heavens break down on her. Its as if she is in a trance, but I cant see her face. I want to see her face. I run towards the cafe, purposefully bumping into her. But I couldn't see her face. I'm almost about to turn away when she calls in my direction, and I feel my feet stopping in their tracks. The voice, like butter. The texture, like sand on a warm beach. I turn around and look at her, nervous for I don't know what reason. All of a sudden, time stops, the world stops. It's only her and me on the street. And she's looking at me. A ray of sunshine and gold, staring back at me. And I feel electricity run through my veins. "Why do I want to hug you so bad?"
pov: You live in a fifth floor apartment in Chicago. It’s around midnight and you hear this song start to play as a young couple turns around the corner. There’s nothing better to do so you decide to watch them. This song peacefully plays as they continue walking down the street together. They stop and sit down on a nearby bench. The young man gently holds his lovers hand and they move closer to one another. You watch as they slowly fall deeper in love as the song comes to a close and the next song begins to play.
Pov: * news * "nukes found in other country found to launch on the 14th-" You turn off the news and your eyes start to fill with tears, you go to turn off the radio playing the same broadcast, it ends and you hear this song. It takes you back to when tou danced on your moms feet, or when your parents would dance when you were alseep. You go into the other room and lay on your bed, tears slowly fall as you look out the winder to release its been raining. You see people frantically pack, then you look into the other homes window. Its your neighbors dancing like your parent's. You fall sleep listening to this song reminiscing about the good times. You wake up, your eyes red from crying. You see its 2:08, Friday August 2020, the 14th. You decided to look at the news to see when they start to fall. * news * "wellcome to [enter news station] (you see that the news anchors eyes are red and there voice is trembling) today at exactly 3:00 a.m., the nukes will be launched.(tears fall feom the news casters face aswell as yours) you look at the clock to see that its now 2:34 am. You run outside and to the store yoir crush works at, its raining heavy. You fling open the doors and over thw shop speakers this plays. Tou rin up to them and hug them, they have been sobbing in a corner. You help them up and you confess to liking them. You start to dance until 2:50 am. You both cry whall looking into each others eyes, the sirens go off. You hear a boom, a beight flash of light and a strong wind. You hold each other close, the shop gets ripped up as you both die holding each other. You have no more regrets. You died holding the peron you love
POV: ur in your arm chair at 1956 3:40 AM and it’s Christmas morning, its snowing outside your wife fell asleep in your arms your kids are sound asleep and your thinking about your past 🥰
POV: You’ve recently come out to your parents, they are accepting but still sceptical. Stuck at home due to quarantine, you FaceTime your friends to keep contact. They make you feel accepted and self assured, you believe in yourself a little bit more. You can hear this song lightly in the background, everything feels okay just a little bit longer.
Queen Potato things will get better, maybe not today or tomorrow but eventually. There will always be people who support you and love you no matter what. We’re strangers for but a moment, but now we are family we all have to stick together:)
Queen Potato I’m glad to hear that :) there’s no shame in reaching out to people when you need support, not everyone is invisible, love ya stay safe :)
Everyones been doing POV scenarios, so i figured I'd add in. POV: *-The police are on their way, but you don't care, you did what you had to. It wasn't your fault, he started it, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.-* you think to yourself, slumped to the ground against the outside wall of the bar. You feel strangely calm after all that has happened tonight, maybe its the music, maybe its the adrenaline. You try to get up but you're shaking too much and the pain in your leg isn't helping. The images of the gruesome brawl flash through your mind like a photo reel, flipping by too fast to really look at, but also not fast enough to ignore. *-Why did I push him, was it really his fault? Why today of all days, just one thing after the other. I couldhave stopped him.-* You start questioning if anything that happened is even real, the music stuck on repeat from the damage inside brings you back to reality. Red and blue lights flood the parking lot, reflecting off of broken glass and the puddles from the rain. An officer is trying to help you but all you hear is the music and the rain, everything else just blending into background noise.
POV:its 1967 and you were raised by your sister as your parents were never home,you and your sister had a bond that was unbreakable,you came home late from school and heard this playing from your sisters room you slowly walk upstairs and sit infront of the door for a while then peek in and seeing your sister slow dancing with her boyfriend and smile,and go to your room and do home work
i started listening to this video trying to do my homework... tell me why i'm on my bed crying over my crush and imagining us dancing to this song together. have a great day tho !
POV: it’s a cold, rainy night in Utah and you live in a wealthy neighbourhood, you’re sitting by the window in you’re bedroom on the 2nd floor, reading a book. your parents invited a few guests over but you aren’t a very social person so you stay upstairs under your cosy blanket. you look across the road to see the lovely elderly couple who always smile at you as you walk past them every day walking your dog. they’re dancing together around their living room while this song from the 50s is playing. you smile. everything is so calming and you feel as though you could fall asleep. the rain relaxes you even more so you decide to go to get a glass of water then go to bed. going into you’re kitchen to grab a drink and some snacks, you look at the window to see the elderly couple cuddling on the sofa probably falling asleep together. you feel so content as you walk back upstairs to get into your bed. you turn off the lights but leave your lamp on as you’re scared of the dark. you start to drift off to the sound of the music and rain, your mother comes in to kiss you on the forehead and tells you she loves you. edit: it was a bit random but that’s what i could think of :)
POV: This was your guy’s favorite song to dance to. That was before though. Before you both died. You had it good. Long walks at night holding hands, sleeping together, taking care of an old cat together, even showering together. Everything you did was together. You were happy. Safe. Until one day they came. You’re dancing in the living room when you hear the door bust down. Immediately you both run to the other room to try and hide. You hear their heavy footsteps and the clinking of the guns. You tell your partner to hide under the bed and you go into the closet. You hear the music still playing, though not louder than your own heartbeat. All you both can do is listen and wait. They come into your room last. Your partner sees them go to the closet and grabs their ankle, causing them to trip. You hear a single gunshot following the sound of your heart disintegrating. They never did find you. But that song has never been the same, and neither have you.
It's a while back. Jane Austen's just published her third novel, and I'm curled up in the parlor of my uncle's stately mansion, only a few rooms away from his grand ballroom currently occupied by everyone of any importance. I settle into the loveseat (as much as this ridiculously gorgeous and ridiculously uncomfortable dress will allow) my head sways in time with the music. Footsteps pass in the hallway, two pairs, stumbling slightly. Drunken lovers add another chorus of noises to the ambiance. I'm depressed (in the same way every young girl is when they realize that their life is only worth however much their husband pays for them) far too depressed for dancing, but as the music swells, I find myself setting my book aside and swaying among the shelves lined with more of it's kind. (So many books, far more than I'll ever be able to finish. The thought is comforting, somehow) the music settles again, evening into an easy string of notes. I hear applause from my uncle's guests. I return to my novel.
Pov: You and your person are having a good night with friends and it's whinding down already people are starting to leave in the background, you can hear them saying their goodbyes...and you both share a laugh then slowly come close to give each other in a gentle hug which turns into an embrace... when this song comes drifts into the room from somewhere not sure where but just then you both lock eyes in a loving stare then slowly go in to share a warm kiss and find yourselves start to slow dance side to side as they put their head on your shoulder and hug you a little tighter you just keep going as if time is still at that moment and you hear them say faintly "i love you so much" ..
My close guy friend: you listen to this song to? Me: yeah! Him: why do you you listen to it? Me: it reminds me of my dream future! Him: Me to bry bry me to
POV: you are living with a friend who is right nextdoor. You two have been friends since 5th grade and have know eachother like brothers. Every night it rains, he plays this song in his room as he sleeps. A long while later, you hear that he had died earlier that morning in a fatal car crash. You are the one picking the type of celebration for his life, and since you are short on cash, you have to cremate him. You take the necklace that your father bought you all those years ago and fill it up with ashes. You send the rest to his parents and sit there. Now, every night it rains, you find yourself going to his room and playing this song. "Never forgetting you, friend" you say as the night goes on...
Very, very soothing. I can sit here by myself and doing my work all alone (what I very much prefer) and still not feeling isolated. Someone just like me is out there somewhere
POV: The night has been a blur to you. The man you loved, the man you thought you loved brought you to the roof of his apartment building. You're falling hard for him but he's moving too fast. Caressing your face and holding your waist he leans int to you. You wanted it but not him. You just left a long relationship and were confused. Is this the man I love or do I just miss the feeling of being loved? You push him a way and he backs up to the edge of the roof. He pries harder at you, not knowing about the war in your mind. You push him again, harder this time. He slips over the edge and his hand on the rail or the roof is the only thing holding him to the building. Attempting to pull himself up, he slips on the rain-slicked rail and falls.The rain was soon illuminated by red and blue flashing lights. You're in a cold cell now, reliving what happened while the rain beats down outside and the cell guard plays this song on repeat at the front.
pov: it’s been a long day. school’s finally out for the summer and you begin to walk home. it starts to storm, but you don’t mind. you let down your hair and take a deep breath, breathing in the humid rain smell. a car pulls up to you and you look over. “need a lift?” it’s your crush. you turn bright pink and respond, “i think i’m fine walking in the rain.” you give them your signature smirk and see their cheeks turn rosy pink. they drive away and you get sad, but you follow the car with your eyes and watch them park. they get out and run over to you with that stupid smile that makes your legs jelly. “maybe i could join you?” they ask. “i’d like that.” you respond. they link their arm with yours and you walk together in the rain while you hear this song play faintly in the distance.
POV: it’s your anniversary during quarantine so your s/o plans a cute date while you guys are stuck in your apartment, you guys dance to the song that was playing at the party when you both met 6 years ago
POV: you are lying in bed, in the middle of the night, unable to sleep and listening to the rain. Your mum, although unwell with Fibromyalgia, dances with your father down in the kitchen below your room and you know he is holding her tight to keep her safe. You listen with your eyes closed, miming along and imagine being the one dancing to this song on a night like this with someone you love.
pov: you're 11 years old and you're hastily rushing to do your homework at 6:47 pm. you're in your bedroom, with the door closed, but you can still faintly hear this song coming from your sister's room. your sister's boyfriend was staying at your house for a few hours. your sister and her boyfriend were slow dancing to this song and you could hear soft chuckles, along with giggles, as they accidentally stepped on each other's toes. you barely knew what was happening, but you were exhilarated for your sister, and you, rushing, rubbed out a wrong answer.
*Waking up hearing soft whispers of love and laughter from the old couple in the other room.. I made some tea and sat down looking out the opened door and watched the rain fall. Then I reminisced about the past years as I stared into the dark grey skies which cried in such a saddening way but yet so harsh and as if it was angry. I couldn't feel being lonely anymore cause I was alone most of my life. As I remembered my early years in life, I realized that I made so many bad choices back then.. Damn I wish I could of seen what I did to them and apologize. As I sat there listening to the song played from another room accompanied by the soft pitter patter it brings such joy but yet such a sorrowful tone from this song. I rested my head on the window and remembered my 40th birthday party.. *chuckle* it was a good one... during that day... (The 40th Birthday)**I sang happy birthday with the nurses and blew out the candles and the room changed and as I looked around I was the only one there singing to myself. Such a sorrowful world I live in.** (Present) Even with that I still had fun there it was a great joy... *chuckle* guess ill go out single right dude *chuckle* I l stared at the picture of a sunny afternoon of us in front of a certain coffee shop **achem star** talking to girls. You were always such a klutz dude you'd always make such a mess. I remember one time we brought flour for a science experiment and you dropped it and well it was obvious what happened. But damn high school was a blast and college too, I still cant believe I made it. As a child I used to love dragons, wizards ,and magic. They were things of fantasy but yet so interesting just imagining that brings a so much wonder of how they would be and such. Ah I remembered my love confessions too *chuckle* rejected at least 30 times and including last week with the nurse that would make it 31 now. I'd always fall in love to easily but I guess it was my fault for that, but in the end devol I enoemos dnuof reven. For some reason during my mid year of high school eromyna yrc t'ndluoc wohemos I even though I went to so many funerals. Looking back I never did anything my parents ever admired, I was just your average kid clumsy, very I mean very emotional. I loved adventure and went exploring the world meeting people along the way but they never stayed long obviously. But if maybe during that trip, if I could just find a ounce just a little or a small amount of evol or srehto eht ekil layarteb on dna pihsdneirf. As I sat staring into the gloomy skies and remembering things about the past I sat there head against the window frame and closed my eyes I could see my storm brighten as the song slowly came to the end and I realized that the eternal dragon shall now fall asleep forever. ps I got somewhat bored so here is something that I picture to be happening to someone out there. I'm pretty sure its horrible but whatever. Some of these words can be translated backwards if you want to read all of it which i doubt but just saying.
i love all povs here. Thank you guys for taking me in different places, it was like a travel back to the past while i am sitting and trying to focus on my study hah
since i'm on my darker days and everyone's doing povs: *POV* you're sitting on the bathroom floor while home alone. everything's dark and quite except from the light in the room you're in and this song that it's coming from the neighbor's apartment right upstairs, along with the rain that keeps hitting your windows. you're crying your heart out, remembering the times you used to be a happy kid. life is now falling apart and everything seems pointless. in your hand you're holding a picture that reminds you of your childhood. you, with a huge smile and your loved ones holding you while a huge birthday cake is ready to be cut. in your other hand there's a small knife. the same one you used in the picture but now accompanied by a totally different feeling. more tears. more rain. and the question remains. now what do i do?
over the summer and quarantine, i listened to this song a lot. and hearing this it makes me yearn for that time again. i wasn't in school and going all at my own pace and life felt real and good. i miss it
POV: you're in the shower, peacefully washing yourself then hear this song playing from what felt like next door. You easily remember your ex-boyfriend who left you and when you had your first kiss, listening to this song. Massaging your head, you realise whoever was playing the music had it on a loop. You remember leaving a pink lipstick stain on his lips and cheek. The song seemed to be getting closer, as if it were in your apartment. You wrap a towel around yourself and peek out of the door and see your ex-boyfriend sitting on your double bed you used to share when he lived with you. He looks at you and smiles. " I'm sorry I left you, I missed you so much I had to come back. " You look at yourself and shrink back into the bathroom, quickly putting on your fluffy, light but baggy pyjamas. You open up the door again and sit next to him. Before you changed you'd checked the shower was off, then you look out of your big window which was overlooking the big NYC and see it's raining. The clouds were a soft grey, droplets of water dripping down your window and onto NYC. He'd close the beige coloured curtains. It was perfect, you were with him again. Your love came back to you.
POV: you're having a panic attack and hide in your bathroom. You hear your neighbors play this song. Your favorite song. Instead of making you feel better, you cry more because you remember them. They would sing this song to you to make you feel better. And they're gone now. You remember all those times you've spent with them and how things will never be the same.
Ah, its this song again. You've always been strangely attracted to its melody, the nice cooing of its instruments. Where is it coming from? You can't seem to figure it out. Wherever it is, You decide to dance around in the rain, soaked from head to toe, knife still in hand. When was the last time you did this? A while ago, you guess, as you waltz down the empty street. In the distance, you can hear the sirens wailing: they must have found the body. Oh, well. You could care less anyway. Its not like they will catch on to you. You stop wandering around, the air seeming thicker than usual. And then you laugh. You laugh, and laugh and laugh until your stomach hurts, until ur on your knees. You feel tears. Why are there tears? You've done this before, so why the tears? The music coming to an end, you smile in a bittersweet manner, lift up the knife, and plunge it deep into your chest. Wherever you end up, you might as well face it head on. Facing upwards, feeling alone, you manage to choke out one last laugh. Maybe the afterlife will be better than this.

Imagine you’re sitting on your front doorstep of your apartment building. It’s raining, it actually looks pretty depressing out, but that’s why you like it. You have your raincoat on, and your hood up, but it’s raining pretty hard and the pieces of hair hanging out of your hood and your jeans and feet are soaked. You gaze across the street, and you see a (boy, girl, etc., whichever you prefer) waiting at a bus stop. They have an umbrella in hand and their phone in the other. They’re soaked as well. You stare at them for a while, they’re actually kind of attractive. They look up from their phone and lock eyes with you. You quickly look away at your feet, hoping they didn’t see you. You hear footsteps in puddles. “Hey.” You look up, and to your surprise, they’re standing right in front of you. They hold their umbrella above your head. “What’s your name?” they ask. “What? Oh, Y/N,” you respond. “Cool, I’m *****, you seem troubled, you ok?” You turn your face back down towards your feet. “I’m unhappy with my life, with myself, with this world,” you respond. They smile at you. You look back up at them. “I hope I can help,” they say. “What do you mea-“ you begin to say, but before you can finish they begin to play “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” on their phone and put their umbrella down on the sidewalk. They stand up and give you their hand. You grab their hand and they hold you in their arms and dance with you. “You’re so stiff, loosen up, you’re dancing in the rain, isn’t it amazing?” You take a deep breath and put your head on their shoulder. “You are amazing. I love everything about you,” they say. You look up at them, and you lock eyes once again. It feels like you’ve been lost in their eyes forever. As the song ends, you can’t control yourself you lean in and kiss them. They accept your kiss and continue to hold you. “I’ll always be here,” they whisper in your ear. You hug them tight.
You made my day 💕 I'm happy I have happy songs to hear to cheer me up not much things do thats for me and I think it's a nice feeling I haven't felt in so long I hoped that I can feel as relaxed and happy as I am not and this i I love it and I have felt relaxed since my papa was alive so thanks 😌
POV: You are in a small, cozy town in the 1950s. Your city celebrates the annual festival to enjoy life. You are outside and sitting on the stairs of the town hall. It's raining heavily and you're questioning your life. One of your friends comes out and asks if you can come back in. You say you will come back inside, but you know very well that you will continue to sit out here. You're down because your crush came to the party with someone else. You question the last weeks and months of your life. You regret that you chose her and not Susan, who has kept an eye on you for a long time. After what felt like an eternity, you decided to go inside again. You tell her that you should have paid much more attention to her and that you are sorry. You ask her about a dance and she replies: "I thought you'd never ask me!". You dance the whole evening and for the first time in a long time you feel really good again. You know that you finally did the right thing and when you stand outside your favorite song is playing again. You start dancing in the rain and then walk hand in hand through the city that is decorated with fairy lights and decorations. I hope you enjoyed my little story and I hope I haven't made too many misspellings. Thanks for reading and have a nice Christmas time.
POV: you’re upstairs neighbor is in an abusive relationship and this is the song she’s plays as she kills her husband for what he’s done to her. As the sirens fade, so does the song.
Yes, in the Tarantino version, lol. Or better yet, Scorcese. I actually listened to my older sister who was fighting with her boyfriend when they were visiting from NYC when I was a dark humored teen up in my bedroom while listening to the Beatles singing, "Til There Was You" on cassette tape on my little Panasonic tape recorder, smoking cigarettes (bad, I know but long since quit) just wishing I had written the film that was happening live around me. The best part was when he stormed out the front door screaming that he was going home to New York & headed out to walk to the train station & my Queen Bitch sister just deadpan yelled out the door after him, "Downtown's the other way, Thomas!" Aaaah, sentimental journeys...
@@katherinebarbour7900 perhaps bc the heaps of saccharine POV on this mood, unless someone was actually young & in love at the time this song debuted, are just pretentious and over the top. All the, "oh I'm watching some old couple dancing, everything sweet & perfect,"- yes, they're "watching" and basically, literally repeating the song as a POV or second to worst, "plot twist! it's the Twilight Zone & they're ghosts" (having potential only in that the orginal Twilight Zone writers might've done the scene right IN ITS TIME, which would lend to it holding up over time). Not that people younger never sincerely fall in love without heading for bloody murder but, I for one, as a young school child during the Cold War late 70's early 80's did not have the luxurious innocence of thinking "duck & cover" would do shit to save us from nuclear annihilation. However, those who really did would have the authentic mood in their experience. Well, maybe; unless like my elderly gay friends who really had to live in the horror of the pre-Stonewall closet, this may also smack of bullshit candy. Also, those who witnessed their own heterosexual parents boozed up & battered at that time may experience the entire mood as an utter mythology. Supersweet isn't automatically to be damned as phony to all but, the whole sound of each era, as the full spectrum of the arts of each era do, reflect the distinct cultural texture of the time from which they emerge. All of this crooner stuff I collected as young Gen X-er, handed down from my older Gen X-er sister who in turn was getting it along with MC5 punk rock stuff, some 60's Mod like The Zombies, Buzzcocks etc from her musician boyfriend Thomas, who claimed to & likely did hook up John Lennon with heroine (yes, that's fucked). I dubbed the crooning 50's stuff "Dead By the Side of the Road Music", a distinct category inspired by a slow motion insight as my teen bestie & I were spinning out on the ice in her mom's beat up old van we stole to joyride in the middle of the night listening to Elvis Presley's Christmas album, thinking "Exactly. This is how it ends." But, we lucked out, recovered from the spin & her mom never said anything; a willfully oblivious woman. We did that almost every night. I digress, infinitely. From the this specialized genre, I was able to pluck the classic tune "Sugar Shack" as a "go-to" remedy for my own teen rage as blasting that made it harder to take myself too painfully seriously & led me to calm, laugh & reflect. Unfortunately, irony has been trampled mercilessly in this time where the world is in such multiple crisis led by furious, homicidal clowns. Really, that stupid clown meme hardly holds a candle to The Orange Menace & his goons reported by npr to be abducting protesters in unmarked vehicles in Portland the day after the loss of one of our greatest civil rights leaders. And, of course, the MVP of this Dystopian livestream, The Pandemic. Or was it Global Warming? Those two might have to duke it out for the lead; Black Swan style. There was a fantastic article in Vanity Fair a few years back noting that the obsession with the Super Cute, Kawaii phenomenon out of Japan was an outgrowth of trauma from surviving the bombings of Nagasaki & Hiroshima. It made so much sense as does the spread of it world-wide, not just bc we can with the Internet but, bc there is so much cresting at this time it's all most any of us can stand, intermittently binging on puppies & kittens falling asleep or raging in the streets. The raging in the streets "Told You So" award goes to Spain for urging Americans to get to it already as soon as The Burger King took office. They weren't talking "wow, put on your pussy hats & take selfies for the twitter/gram feed, a day late (literally, ugh) & a dollar owned", [if it's free, we're the product], they meant more like this shit going on now but, back then please before we get here, OH WOOPS! POV as epilogue on this novel reply: How'd I end up that rant in politics...what am I? Some hippy on the lawn? Some sexually alphabetic monster devoid of patriotic breadmaking skills to occupy myself with, just hallucinating from the overdose of bleach & so much WINNING! WINNING! WINNING! Delivered as promised; The Dream. It was all a dream after all...put your head on my shoooooulders, hold me in your arms, baby...waaa-wah...
POV: You come home after a hard day to your luxurious penthouse overlooking the coast. The sun has already dipped below the horizon as it began to rain as you loosen your tie and walk over to your record player. You dust off the vinyl jacket with Paul Anka's familiar smile on it. You walk over to the bar and fix yourself a drink as you stand on your covered balcony overlooking the beach. This classic playing from your living room. As you sip your dry martini you think of her, and what went wrong. This was your song. You remember the day you caught her with another man buying her a necklace when you were looking for an anniversary gift to surprise her with. You look at your right hand and realize you still were wearing the black and green tungsten ring she mailed you when you first were dating while you were stationed overseas. You set your now empty martini glass down and slip the ring off your finger. You turn it over in your hands as Paul sings sweet nothings echo out onto the balcony. In your last move to forget her, you throw the ring as hard as you can over the railing into the darkness below. You step inside to mix another drink and watch the moon peek out around the rainclouds. After sitting in a lounge chair watching the white foam waves roll onto the sand below you look at your watch. It's a worn Seiko Five you wore during your service as it reads 12:15AM. You remember trying to imitate Paul's voice while slow dancing with her. You thought you were a bad singer but she loved it regardless. You take out a cigarette and flick open your old and scratched Zippo lighter and light it, taking a long drag. You think about what you could have done better. What could have been. A single tear rolls down your cheek as you finish your smoke. You silently mouth Paul's lyrics wishing everything was ok. Besides the penthouse this hit pretty close to home for me. Hope everyone who read enjoyed 🤙🏻
POV : You are home alone and you heard something in you're kitchen, you go check. You see the serial killer of town searching the drawers. You sprint upstairs, hiding for the killer. As you hide, the killer start's singing this song, you realize it's your long lost brother that got brainwashed to kill you and you're parents. He finds you and knocks you out, you wake up in a basement. You realize it's you're last day alive. You scream : 'I love you no matter what, but it's time for me to go. Goodbye, brother.' He pulls the trigger to himself, as you seem him murder himself, you cry and scream for help. Year's later you still think about the loss of you're brother. hope you enjoyed my work.
Hey this is a POV even though I’m not trying to win, just trying to enjoy life while it lasts, here it goes: POV: You remembered this song from 1959 and you played it while slow dancing with your wife on a summer afternoon but remembered that house you were staring into was your ex’s who cheated on you.. But you still loved her. You didn’t want to give up on her. But you knew you had to, You put up your umbrella, took out a cigarette and drove away. Thanks for reading all the way through!
POV: you and your boy bestfriend share a apartment together and couple months ago he asked you out with this song playing but you said no to him because you thought of him as a brother and nothing more but now he has a new girlfriend and you hear the song playing in his room as you think what it would be like being in a relationship with him as you think of what it would be like you start to notice that you have being falling for him and didnt realize it ,but you get the guts to go his room and knock on his door as he opens it you ask if you can dance with him and fall asleep in his arms forever.....
POV: You recently moved into a new house and at on a rainy night, you're reading and hear this song being played next door. You look through the window and see an elderly couple dancing. A smile forms across your face as you continue reading.
Pov: You are stressed and nervous because you have exams tommorow and then you listen to this and it relaxed you so much that you think of how you would have lived in the early years.
Pov: Your eyes are glazed and lackadaisical as you lay on your bed. The next door neighbors who always play their music to loud are at it again, this time you appreciate it. Turning to your phone you see the message you sent to your crush, she still hasn't responded. It's raining and you watch it hit your window from your bed, you imagine the next time you'll even see your crush, "hopefully she won't find someone else" you think to yourself and then again you look at your phone, she still hasn't responded, "not yet" you think as you stare up at your ceiling your eyes closing and your worries fading away.
pov: your taking a break from playing piano, which is your only coping mechanism, and you hear this playing from the other room and you quickly realize that it’s your mother and father dancing. you decide to stand up and quietly watch them from the doorframe, wondering if you will ever have something like them, as you suddenly feel an Immense amount of loneliness, you go to your room and read the last chapter of the book series you’ve been reading, feeling as lonely as ever, you decide to text your friend, not getting a respond back you decide to play piano again and learn “Your New Boyfriend” by Wilbur Soot. you really have no life huh? you just read that entire thing, bet you feel silly huh?
pov: you're in a cafe. 3 people there. it's decent place but surely underrated. they have the best milkshakes. "Lora's milkshakes" sure was the hit in 1980. sadly, no one cares about it now. why? starbucks is a thing. it's raining, i rush inside. i shake my hair, the newspaper in my hands wet. i toss it aside. suddenly, our song starts playing. i slightly groan. leaving me on my anniversary. kinda pathetic how i'm not over her yet. i take my usual seat by the window and take out my pen and paper. then a waitress comes up. without looking i say "the usual please". the waitress was quiet for a moment then said. "sir, i'm new. i don't really know your usual." i look up, slightly annoyed. then our eyes meet. there she stands, with a notebook and pen. her fluffy brown hair is messy and slightly wet. her big brown eyes shine bright and her smile so dreamy and soothing. i lose my words. and don't dare speak. her pov : i was on my first shift. most of the customers here are nice, but old. i hear the bell ring when the door opens. i don't pay attention thinking it's another old fella. i clean the table then head to the new customer. i approach him. he's drawing. i see his concentration. then he suddenly speaks. i'm lost for a moment. i kindly explain that i'm new. our eyes meet. his blue eyes and wet hair suited him.for a second, i thought i found my soulmate. after a moment, i knew i found him. i gently smile.
POV: You're reading a good book by the window while your lover is making dinner as a treat for your anniversary. You have a fresh glass of wine. You're warm and cozy.
Random POV (Time set back in the 1990's) Your'e in your room, reading a book your ex lover gave you on your 16th brithday. When suddenly, a flash of lightning disturbed your vision. The radio downstairs then started to play this song. You remember your ex lover, who died due to cancer. You and him slow dancing to this song while getting wet in the rain, then suddenly thunder roared. The music started getting louder, then you felt chills run up your spine, as a cold breeze embrace you. Then you remembered... You were home alone. Then you gasped for air. You look around frantically and saw the book you were reading. "Oh," you stated. "I must've fell asleep." Then you put your hand on your forehead- it's now in 2020- then picked up the book you were reading. The soft patter of rain calming your nerves. Until this song randomly played in the living room. Sorry mah dudes. This is what happens when I read too much wattpad. ;)
this song makes me feel homesick for a place that does not exist and lovesick for a person that also does not exist.
You have read My thoughts and wrote them down. ;-)
i believe you're looking for one of my favorite words: hiraeth
@@viviennecontent5145 hiraeth actually just means nostalgia
@@0liver815 Actually it means having a deep feeling of nostalgia for something that doesn't exist anymore or never did.
Same homie
Pov: your sitting in your basement and you hear your parents dancing to this upstairs
Chained up
RxinbowSugxr beautiful
That's how you know the marriage worked out perfectly
My parents were put of love by the time I was born and they would've never. My entire childhood was dad drunk in pool, arguing, and my brother hitting me all the time. But thanks 😂

Imagine how beautiful the world would be if everyone was listening to this song
Riight

Since everyone is doing povs:
POV:
You're walking down the streets to your new apartment. It's raining and you don't have an umbrella, not that you need one anyway. You feel the rain falling from your hair to your shoulders. You love the rain, it's so calming. Your shoes get wet as you walk through the puddles. You walk next to a building and suddenly you hear this music. It's so calming.. you stop to listen to it for a while. You imagine yourself dancing to this with your dream partner. Suddenly someone walks into you. They apology:
"I'm so so sorry.. I didn't see you I was um.." you cut them off "listening to the music? Yeah me too." You two akwardly stare at each other but it feels good, you two were meant to meet each other here. As you look down to your soaked shoes he suddenly asks "Ma'am.. I know we just met but.. do you want to dance?" you look up to his charming eyes. You can't really see the eye colour but they look very calm and peacefull. You laugh softly. You look into his charming eyes again; "Of course.." and you grab his hand. He brings your hands to his neck and lays his arms on your back. Not too far down. "He is just, perfect.. just perfect.." you think as you both slowly start dancing. The peacefull sound of the music on the background and the rain falling on both of your faces. But you both seem to not mind it, you're just enjoining this peacefull moment. It feels like time has stopped. You rest your head on his shoulder and he rests his head on your head as you keep dancing. You don't even have to say a thing to know, that you two are meant to be.
15 years later
You walk home with your husband from getting some food from the supermarket. As you walk past the same building you hear this music again. You look at each other and you both start to laugh. "Ma'am.. I know I just met you but.. do you want to dance?" He gives you a cheecky smile as you laugh at his joke, feeling your cheeks turn red a little. You grab his hand and start to dance again. There she is, your daugher comes running towards you. "Mommy? I wanna dance too!!" Your husband grabs your daughter and you start to dance with the three of you. Everything is perfect, again. And this all of a rainy night next to a lovely building.
The end

theres just another kind of feel to this video, when you listen to this while it's actually raining outside. the thunder, the lightening, the smell of the earth when the rain hits the tarmac, it makes me miss something, but I don't know what.
yeah, that's a perfect description. it's comforting, but at the same time, it makes me very sad. it's absolutely beautiful.
idk for me it gives me kind of a sense of relief and it makes me miss the feeling of just going crazy over someone there's so many things I miss I'm still reallllyyy young I don't know what falling in love feels like or what loving someone you like like feels like but this song just kind of sums it up if that makes sense ?? srry but your comment is super relatable
You miss everything you’ve lost, all at once
Yes I know very r/im14andthisisdeep vibes, sorry
Omg same... something misses but idk what...
Nnyl _Gacha yea it’s just like a feeling

I wish I was born on those years and witness how simple and genuine life before is.
I always say that I was born too late. :(
Same! this was beautiful 😍

10. What about all the things you've always wanted to do? What about the things you've planned, but never got around to doing? You can't do them when you're dead.

POV:
You're walking down the streets of Milan, it's raining, but only slightly. You don't have an umbrella, not that you care for one either.
You feel the rain drops hitting your hair, your face, your arms. It feels cold and warm at the same time. There's a small cafe right around the corner with its doors open. You hear this song suddenly come up. You last heard this when you caught your parents dancing to this in the living room at night. That was the last time you saw them smile and say "I love you" to eachother. The memory makes you smile while a small tear rolls down your eye.
You're lost in your thoughts when someone bumps into you and mutters a soft apology. The voice, it's a little husky. the texture of it, like silk and daisies.
You look behind to catch the owner of that voice and to say "it's okay" but instead you find your eyes fixated on him, your mouth runs dry. He looks at you too, eyes unmoving from your face. You feel like you've known him all your life, but you don't remember who he is. Your heart is beating fast, your hands shaking and cold. "Why am I feeling so sad?".
His POV:
I bump into her while running for the cafe. it's raining like crazy but there she is, standing without a care while the heavens break down on her. Its as if she is in a trance, but I cant see her face. I want to see her face.
I run towards the cafe, purposefully bumping into her. But I couldn't see her face. I'm almost about to turn away when she calls in my direction, and I feel my feet stopping in their tracks.
The voice, like butter. The texture, like sand on a warm beach. I turn around and look at her, nervous for I don't know what reason. All of a sudden, time stops, the world stops. It's only her and me on the street. And she's looking at me. A ray of sunshine and gold, staring back at me. And I feel electricity run through my veins.
"Why do I want to hug you so bad?"
i don’t get it
I didn't realize how badly I need a hug until I read this
i need a whole wattpad story of this
@@genevive7310 rn, me too xD
If i credited you with the original idea and characters can i write a story about this? I can’t promise it would be good though ;P
pov: You live in a fifth floor apartment in Chicago. It’s around midnight and you hear this song start to play as a young couple turns around the corner. There’s nothing better to do so you decide to watch them. This song peacefully plays as they continue walking down the street together. They stop and sit down on a nearby bench. The young man gently holds his lovers hand and they move closer to one another. You watch as they slowly fall deeper in love as the song comes to a close and the next song begins to play.
People in this comment section are lit af😂😂....😘
Pov: * news * "nukes found in other country found to launch on the 14th-"
You turn off the news and your eyes start to fill with tears, you go to turn off the radio playing the same broadcast, it ends and you hear this song. It takes you back to when tou danced on your moms feet, or when your parents would dance when you were alseep.
You go into the other room and lay on your bed, tears slowly fall as you look out the winder to release its been raining. You see people frantically pack, then you look into the other homes window.
Its your neighbors dancing like your parent's. You fall sleep listening to this song reminiscing about the good times. You wake up, your eyes red from crying. You see its 2:08, Friday August 2020, the 14th.
You decided to look at the news to see when they start to fall. * news * "wellcome to [enter news station] (you see that the news anchors eyes are red and there voice is trembling) today at exactly 3:00 a.m., the nukes will be launched.(tears fall feom the news casters face aswell as yours) you look at the clock to see that its now 2:34 am. You run outside and to the store yoir crush works at, its raining heavy. You fling open the doors and over thw shop speakers this plays. Tou rin up to them and hug them, they have been sobbing in a corner. You help them up and you confess to liking them. You start to dance until 2:50 am. You both cry whall looking into each others eyes, the sirens go off. You hear a boom, a beight flash of light and a strong wind. You hold each other close, the shop gets ripped up as you both die holding each other. You have no more regrets. You died holding the peron you love
Beautiful!!
this... this hit different... very original ✨❤️
@Elianna Mann No, this ending is just fine...
Jesus, I'm crying now
POV: ur in your arm chair at 1956 3:40 AM and it’s Christmas morning, its snowing outside your wife fell asleep in your arms your kids are sound asleep and your thinking about your past 🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
POV: You’ve recently come out to your parents, they are accepting but still sceptical. Stuck at home due to quarantine, you FaceTime your friends to keep contact. They make you feel accepted and self assured, you believe in yourself a little bit more. You can hear this song lightly in the background, everything feels okay just a little bit longer.
I came out to my parents and it didnt go well so uh yeah 😧
Queen Potato things will get better, maybe not today or tomorrow but eventually. There will always be people who support you and love you no matter what.

POV : your big sister and her boyfriend are dancing to this inside when your playing outside in the rain with your dog
i feel nostalgic for something ive never even experienced
Everyones been doing POV scenarios, so i figured I'd add in.
POV: *-The police are on their way, but you don't care, you did what you had to. It wasn't your fault, he started it, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.-* you think to yourself, slumped to the ground against the outside wall of the bar. You feel strangely calm after all that has happened tonight, maybe its the music, maybe its the adrenaline. You try to get up but you're shaking too much and the pain in your leg isn't helping. The images of the gruesome brawl flash through your mind like a photo reel, flipping by too fast to really look at, but also not fast enough to ignore. *-Why did I push him, was it really his fault? Why today of all days, just one thing after the other. I couldhave stopped him.-* You start questioning if anything that happened is even real, the music stuck on repeat from the damage inside brings you back to reality. Red and blue lights flood the parking lot, reflecting off of broken glass and the puddles from the rain. An officer is trying to help you but all you hear is the music and the rain, everything else just blending into background noise.
Oooh I like this one! Nice!
Nicely done
me: listening to this
my sister: come downstairs its snowing!!!
me: SNOW CAN WAIT

i started listening to this video trying to do my homework...

have a great day tho !
POV: it’s a cold, rainy night in Utah and you live in a wealthy neighbourhood, you’re sitting by the window in you’re bedroom on the 2nd floor, reading a book. your parents invited a few guests over but you aren’t a very social person so you stay upstairs under your cosy blanket. you look across the road to see the lovely elderly couple who always smile at you as you walk past them every day walking your dog. they’re dancing together around their living room while this song from the 50s is playing. you smile. everything is so calming and you feel as though you could fall asleep. the rain relaxes you even more so you decide to go to get a glass of water then go to bed. going into you’re kitchen to grab a drink and some snacks, you look at the window to see the elderly couple cuddling on the sofa probably falling asleep together. you feel so content as you walk back upstairs to get into your bed. you turn off the lights but leave your lamp on as you’re scared of the dark. you start to drift off to the sound of the music and rain, your mother comes in to kiss you on the forehead and tells you she loves you.
edit: it was a bit random but that’s what i could think of :)
That was great
i love just going through the comments and reading everyone’s povs :)
I know right! 😍
POV: This was your guy’s favorite song to dance to. That was before though. Before you both died. You had it good. Long walks at night holding hands, sleeping together, taking care of an old cat together, even showering together. Everything you did was together. You were happy. Safe. Until one day they came. You’re dancing in the living room when you hear the door bust down. Immediately you both run to the other room to try and hide. You hear their heavy footsteps and the clinking of the guns. You tell your partner to hide under the bed and you go into the closet. You hear the music still playing, though not louder than your own heartbeat. All you both can do is listen and wait. They come into your room last. Your partner sees them go to the closet and grabs their ankle, causing them to trip. You hear a single gunshot following the sound of your heart disintegrating. They never did find you. But that song has never been the same, and neither have you.
I- I- I have no words
MY HEART OMG
those likes are rookie numbers, we need to bump those numbers up.
MORE. MORE *MORE*
I don’t know who needs to hear this but....
You will find love! Just be patient ❤️
It's a while back. Jane Austen's just published her third novel, and I'm curled up in the parlor of my uncle's stately mansion, only a few rooms away from his grand ballroom currently occupied by everyone of any importance. I settle into the loveseat (as much as this ridiculously gorgeous and ridiculously uncomfortable dress will allow) my head sways in time with the music. Footsteps pass in the hallway, two pairs, stumbling slightly. Drunken lovers add another chorus of noises to the ambiance. I'm depressed (in the same way every young girl is when they realize that their life is only worth however much their husband pays for them) far too depressed for dancing, but as the music swells, I find myself setting my book aside and swaying among the shelves lined with more of it's kind. (So many books, far more than I'll ever be able to finish. The thought is comforting, somehow) the music settles again, evening into an easy string of notes. I hear applause from my uncle's guests. I return to my novel.
I love this! 😍
Pov: You and your person are having a good night with friends and it's whinding down already people are starting to leave in the background, you can hear them saying their goodbyes...and you both share a laugh then slowly come close to give each other in a gentle hug which turns into an embrace... when this song comes drifts into the room from somewhere not sure where but just then you both lock eyes in a loving stare then slowly go in to share a warm kiss and find yourselves start to slow dance side to side as they put their head on your shoulder and hug you a little tighter you just keep going as if time is still at that moment and you hear them say faintly "i love you so much" ..
My close guy friend: you listen to this song to? Me: yeah! Him: why do you you listen to it? Me: it reminds me of my dream future! Him: Me to bry bry me to
POV: you are living with a friend who is right nextdoor. You two have been friends since 5th grade and have know eachother like brothers. Every night it rains, he plays this song in his room as he sleeps. A long while later, you hear that he had died earlier that morning in a fatal car crash. You are the one picking the type of celebration for his life, and since you are short on cash, you have to cremate him. You take the necklace that your father bought you all those years ago and fill it up with ashes. You send the rest to his parents and sit there. Now, every night it rains, you find yourself going to his room and playing this song. "Never forgetting you, friend" you say as the night goes on...
MY HEART
Wow...🥲 this was really good I loved it❤️
Rest easy kid. The world is yours to conquer, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
I love this! Thanks
Thanks
Very, very soothing. I can sit here by myself and doing my work all alone (what I very much prefer) and still not feeling isolated. Someone just like me is out there somewhere
POV: The night has been a blur to you. The man you loved, the man you thought you loved brought you to the roof of his apartment building. You're falling hard for him but he's moving too fast. Caressing your face and holding your waist he leans int to you. You wanted it but not him. You just left a long relationship and were confused. Is this the man I love or do I just miss the feeling of being loved? You push him a way and he backs up to the edge of the roof. He pries harder at you, not knowing about the war in your mind. You push him again, harder this time. He slips over the edge and his hand on the rail or the roof is the only thing holding him to the building. Attempting to pull himself up, he slips on the rain-slicked rail and falls.The rain was soon illuminated by red and blue flashing lights. You're in a cold cell now, reliving what happened while the rain beats down outside and the cell guard plays this song on repeat at the front.
pov: it’s been a long day. school’s finally out for the summer and you begin to walk home. it starts to storm, but you don’t mind. you let down your hair and take a deep breath, breathing in the humid rain smell. a car pulls up to you and you look over. “need a lift?” it’s your crush. you turn bright pink and respond, “i think i’m fine walking in the rain.” you give them your signature smirk and see their cheeks turn rosy pink. they drive away and you get sad, but you follow the car with your eyes and watch them park. they get out and run over to you with that stupid smile that makes your legs jelly. “maybe i could join you?” they ask. “i’d like that.” you respond. they link their arm with yours and you walk together in the rain while you hear this song play faintly in the distance.
POV: it’s your anniversary during quarantine so your s/o plans a cute date while you guys are stuck in your apartment, you guys dance to the song that was playing at the party when you both met 6 years ago
It’s not that good :/
What kinda parties you going to?
This song and this edit is pure bliss ♥️
POV: Your neighbour is a psychopath, and they play this song while cleaning up the body of their newest victim.
hollywood wants to know your location
This is perfect so ima write a story abt it :)
POV: you are lying in bed, in the middle of the night, unable to sleep and listening to the rain. Your mum, although unwell with Fibromyalgia, dances with your father down in the kitchen below your room and you know he is holding her tight to keep her safe. You listen with your eyes closed, miming along and imagine being the one dancing to this song on a night like this with someone you love.
pov: you're 11 years old and you're hastily rushing to do your homework at 6:47 pm. you're in your bedroom, with the door closed, but you can still faintly hear this song coming from your sister's room. your sister's boyfriend was staying at your house for a few hours. your sister and her boyfriend were slow dancing to this song and you could hear soft chuckles, along with giggles, as they accidentally stepped on each other's toes. you barely knew what was happening, but you were exhilarated for your sister, and you, rushing, rubbed out a wrong answer.
*Waking up hearing soft whispers of love and laughter from the old couple in the other room.. I made some tea and sat down looking out the opened door and watched the rain fall. Then I reminisced about the past years as I stared into the dark grey skies which cried in such a saddening way but yet so harsh and as if it was angry. I couldn't feel being lonely anymore cause I was alone most of my life. As I remembered my early years in life, I realized that I made so many bad choices back then.. Damn I wish I could of seen what I did to them and apologize. As I sat there listening to the song played from another room accompanied by the soft pitter patter it brings such joy but yet such a sorrowful tone from this song. I rested my head on the window and remembered my 40th birthday party.. *chuckle* it was a good one...
during that day... (The 40th Birthday)**I sang happy birthday with the nurses and blew out the candles and the room changed and as I looked around I was the only one there singing to myself. Such a sorrowful world I live in.** (Present) Even with that I still had fun there it was a great joy... *chuckle* guess ill go out single right dude *chuckle* I l stared at the picture of a sunny afternoon of us in front of a certain coffee shop **achem star** talking to girls. You were always such a klutz dude you'd always make such a mess. I remember one time we brought flour for a science experiment and you dropped it and well it was obvious what happened. But damn high school was a blast and college too, I still cant believe I made it. As a child I used to love dragons, wizards ,and magic. They were things of fantasy but yet so interesting just imagining that brings a so much wonder of how they would be and such. Ah I remembered my love confessions too *chuckle* rejected at least 30 times and including last week with the nurse that would make it 31 now. I'd always fall in love to easily but I guess it was my fault for that, but in the end devol I enoemos dnuof reven. For some reason during my mid year of high school eromyna yrc t'ndluoc wohemos I even though I went to so many funerals. Looking back I never did anything my parents ever admired, I was just your average kid clumsy, very I mean very emotional. I loved adventure and went exploring the world meeting people along the way but they never stayed long obviously. But if maybe during that trip, if I could just find a ounce just a little or a small amount of evol or srehto eht ekil layarteb on dna pihsdneirf. As I sat staring into the gloomy skies and remembering things about the past I sat there head against the window frame and closed my eyes I could see my storm brighten as the song slowly came to the end and I realized that the eternal dragon shall now fall asleep forever.
ps I got somewhat bored so here is something that I picture to be happening to someone out there. I'm pretty sure its horrible but whatever. Some of these words can be translated backwards if you want to read all of it which i doubt but just saying.
i love all povs here. Thank you guys for taking me in different places, it was like a travel back to the past while i am sitting and trying to focus on my study hah
haha I know right! I love it 😍
i have been listening to this every night when i go to bed for the past year and it really helps me sleep. thank you so much for this ❤️
aww thank you, that made my day! You're very welcome
this gives me christmas vibes idk why! Lol
since i'm on my darker days and everyone's doing povs:
*POV* you're sitting on the bathroom floor while home alone. everything's dark and quite except from the light in the room you're in and this song that it's coming from the neighbor's apartment right upstairs, along with the rain that keeps hitting your windows. you're crying your heart out, remembering the times you used to be a happy kid. life is now falling apart and everything seems pointless. in your hand you're holding a picture that reminds you of your childhood. you, with a huge smile and your loved ones holding you while a huge birthday cake is ready to be cut. in your other hand there's a small knife. the same one you used in the picture but now accompanied by a totally different feeling. more tears. more rain. and the question remains. now what do i do?
over the summer and quarantine, i listened to this song a lot. and hearing this it makes me yearn for that time again. i wasn't in school and going all at my own pace and life felt real and good. i miss it
when you put at a really low volume (but that you can hear it) it brings you to ur mind and think about everythiing....
POV: you're in the shower, peacefully washing yourself then hear this song playing from what felt like next door. You easily remember your ex-boyfriend who left you and when you had your first kiss, listening to this song. Massaging your head, you realise whoever was playing the music had it on a loop. You remember leaving a pink lipstick stain on his lips and cheek. The song seemed to be getting closer, as if it were in your apartment. You wrap a towel around yourself and peek out of the door and see your ex-boyfriend sitting on your double bed you used to share when he lived with you. He looks at you and smiles. " I'm sorry I left you, I missed you so much I had to come back. " You look at yourself and shrink back into the bathroom, quickly putting on your fluffy, light but baggy pyjamas. You open up the door again and sit next to him. Before you changed you'd checked the shower was off, then you look out of your big window which was overlooking the big NYC and see it's raining. The clouds were a soft grey, droplets of water dripping down your window and onto NYC. He'd close the beige coloured curtains. It was perfect, you were with him again. Your love came back to you.
POV: you're having a panic attack and hide in your bathroom. You hear your neighbors play this song. Your favorite song. Instead of making you feel better, you cry more because you remember them. They would sing this song to you to make you feel better. And they're gone now. You remember all those times you've spent with them and how things will never be the same.
Ah, its this song again. You've always been strangely attracted to its melody, the nice cooing of its instruments. Where is it coming from? You can't seem to figure it out. Wherever it is, You decide to dance around in the rain, soaked from head to toe, knife still in hand. When was the last time you did this? A while ago, you guess, as you waltz down the empty street. In the distance, you can hear the sirens wailing: they must have found the body. Oh, well. You could care less anyway. Its not like they will catch on to you. You stop wandering around, the air seeming thicker than usual. And then you laugh. You laugh, and laugh and laugh until your stomach hurts, until ur on your knees. You feel tears. Why are there tears? You've done this before, so why the tears? The music coming to an end, you smile in a bittersweet manner, lift up the knife, and plunge it deep into your chest. Wherever you end up, you might as well face it head on. Facing upwards, feeling alone, you manage to choke out one last laugh. Maybe the afterlife will be better than this.
I just feel so at home listening to this beautiful song. His voice!!!
Found your channel last night, and I love it! Would love to hear, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" by The Platters set to rain or soft city ambiance.
aww thank you! I'll see what I can do :D

You're so welcome!
Imagine you’re sitting on your front doorstep of your apartment building. It’s raining, it actually looks pretty depressing out, but that’s why you like it. You have your raincoat on, and your hood up, but it’s raining pretty hard and the pieces of hair hanging out of your hood and your jeans and feet are soaked. You gaze across the street, and you see a (boy, girl, etc., whichever you prefer) waiting at a bus stop. They have an umbrella in hand and their phone in the other. They’re soaked as well. You stare at them for a while, they’re actually kind of attractive. They look up from their phone and lock eyes with you. You quickly look away at your feet, hoping they didn’t see you. You hear footsteps in puddles. “Hey.” You look up, and to your surprise, they’re standing right in front of you. They hold their umbrella above your head. “What’s your name?” they ask. “What? Oh, Y/N,” you respond. “Cool, I’m *****, you seem troubled, you ok?” You turn your face back down towards your feet. “I’m unhappy with my life, with myself, with this world,” you respond. They smile at you. You look back up at them. “I hope I can help,” they say. “What do you mea-“ you begin to say, but before you can finish they begin to play “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” on their phone and put their umbrella down on the sidewalk. They stand up and give you their hand. You grab their hand and they hold you in their arms and dance with you. “You’re so stiff, loosen up, you’re dancing in the rain, isn’t it amazing?” You take a deep breath and put your head on their shoulder. “You are amazing. I love everything about you,” they say. You look up at them, and you lock eyes once again. It feels like you’ve been lost in their eyes forever. As the song ends, you can’t control yourself you lean in and kiss them. They accept your kiss and continue to hold you. “I’ll always be here,” they whisper in your ear. You hug them tight.
You made my day 💕 I'm happy I have happy songs to hear to cheer me up not much things do thats for me and I think it's a nice feeling I haven't felt in so long I hoped that I can feel as relaxed and happy as I am not and this i I love it and I have felt relaxed since my papa was alive so thanks 😌
POV:
You are in a small, cozy town in the 1950s. Your city celebrates the annual festival to enjoy life. You are outside and sitting on the stairs of the town hall. It's raining heavily and you're questioning your life. One of your friends comes out and asks if you can come back in. You say you will come back inside, but you know very well that you will continue to sit out here.
You're down because your crush came to the party with someone else.
You question the last weeks and months of your life. You regret that you chose her and not Susan, who has kept an eye on you for a long time.
After what felt like an eternity, you decided to go inside again. You tell her that you should have paid much more attention to her and that you are sorry.
You ask her about a dance and she replies: "I thought you'd never ask me!".
You dance the whole evening and for the first time in a long time you feel really good again.
You know that you finally did the right thing and when you stand outside your favorite song is playing again.
You start dancing in the rain and then walk hand in hand through the city that is decorated with fairy lights and decorations.
I hope you enjoyed my little story and I hope I haven't made too many misspellings.
Thanks for reading and have a nice Christmas time.
this rain? this calm, quiet rain? this is the rain I like
Oh my goodness no ads.. heaven
My 11 year old found this and falls asleep to it every night. She can't sleep without it.
I can't listen to this without crying.
sounds more like you’re having the worst time ever and your neighbour is having the best
POV: its 1957 and your outside in the rain smoking a cigarette at your highschool prom in while this song plays inside

That's so calm, because it make me remember when I lived in my Grandma's home, and this singer was her favorite! Good memories
POV: you’re upstairs neighbor is in an abusive relationship and this is the song she’s plays as she kills her husband for what he’s done to her.
As the sirens fade, so does the song.

Lmao Jesus Christ
Yes, in the Tarantino version, lol. Or better yet, Scorcese. I actually listened to my older sister who was fighting with her boyfriend when they were visiting from NYC when I was a dark humored teen up in my bedroom while listening to the Beatles singing, "Til There Was You" on cassette tape on my little Panasonic tape recorder, smoking cigarettes (bad, I know but long since quit) just wishing I had written the film that was happening live around me. The best part was when he stormed out the front door screaming that he was going home to New York & headed out to walk to the train station & my Queen Bitch sister just deadpan yelled out the door after him, "Downtown's the other way, Thomas!" Aaaah, sentimental journeys...
YES!!! Why do I love this so much😂
@@katherinebarbour7900 perhaps bc the heaps of saccharine POV on this mood, unless someone was actually young & in love at the time this song debuted, are just pretentious and over the top. All the, "oh I'm watching some old couple dancing, everything sweet & perfect,"- yes, they're "watching" and basically, literally repeating the song as a POV or second to worst, "plot twist! it's the Twilight Zone & they're ghosts" (having potential only in that the orginal Twilight Zone writers might've done the scene right IN ITS TIME, which would lend to it holding up over time). Not that people younger never sincerely fall in love without heading for bloody murder but, I for one, as a young school child during the Cold War late 70's early 80's did not have the luxurious innocence of thinking "duck & cover" would do shit to save us from nuclear annihilation. However, those who really did would have the authentic mood in their experience. Well, maybe; unless like my elderly gay friends who really had to live in the horror of the pre-Stonewall closet, this may also smack of bullshit candy. Also, those who witnessed their own heterosexual parents boozed up & battered at that time may experience the entire mood as an utter mythology. Supersweet isn't automatically to be damned as phony to all but, the whole sound of each era, as the full spectrum of the arts of each era do, reflect the distinct cultural texture of the time from which they emerge. All of this crooner stuff I collected as young Gen X-er, handed down from my older Gen X-er sister who in turn was getting it along with MC5 punk rock stuff, some 60's Mod like The Zombies, Buzzcocks etc from her musician boyfriend Thomas, who claimed to & likely did hook up John Lennon with heroine (yes, that's fucked). I dubbed the crooning 50's stuff "Dead By the Side of the Road Music", a distinct category inspired by a slow motion insight as my teen bestie & I were spinning out on the ice in her mom's beat up old van we stole to joyride in the middle of the night listening to Elvis Presley's Christmas album, thinking "Exactly. This is how it ends." But, we lucked out, recovered from the spin & her mom never said anything; a willfully oblivious woman. We did that almost every night. I digress, infinitely. From the this specialized genre, I was able to pluck the classic tune "Sugar Shack" as a "go-to" remedy for my own teen rage as blasting that made it harder to take myself too painfully seriously & led me to calm, laugh & reflect. Unfortunately, irony has been trampled mercilessly in this time where the world is in such multiple crisis led by furious, homicidal clowns. Really, that stupid clown meme hardly holds a candle to The Orange Menace & his goons reported by npr to be abducting protesters in unmarked vehicles in Portland the day after the loss of one of our greatest civil rights leaders. And, of course, the MVP of this Dystopian livestream, The Pandemic. Or was it Global Warming? Those two might have to duke it out for the lead; Black Swan style. There was a fantastic article in Vanity Fair a few years back noting that the obsession with the Super Cute, Kawaii phenomenon out of Japan was an outgrowth of trauma from surviving the bombings of Nagasaki & Hiroshima. It made so much sense as does the spread of it world-wide, not just bc we can with the Internet but, bc there is so much cresting at this time it's all most any of us can stand, intermittently binging on puppies & kittens falling asleep or raging in the streets. The raging in the streets "Told You So" award goes to Spain for urging Americans to get to it already as soon as The Burger King took office. They weren't talking "wow, put on your pussy hats & take selfies for the twitter/gram feed, a day late (literally, ugh) & a dollar owned", [if it's free, we're the product], they meant more like this shit going on now but, back then please before we get here, OH WOOPS! POV as epilogue on this novel reply: How'd I end up that rant in politics...what am I? Some hippy on the lawn? Some sexually alphabetic monster devoid of patriotic breadmaking skills to occupy myself with, just hallucinating from the overdose of bleach & so much WINNING! WINNING! WINNING! Delivered as promised; The Dream. It was all a dream after all...put your head on my shoooooulders, hold me in your arms, baby...waaa-wah...
POV: You come home after a hard day to your luxurious penthouse overlooking the coast. The sun has already dipped below the horizon as it began to rain as you loosen your tie and walk over to your record player. You dust off the vinyl jacket with Paul Anka's familiar smile on it. You walk over to the bar and fix yourself a drink as you stand on your covered balcony overlooking the beach. This classic playing from your living room. As you sip your dry martini you think of her, and what went wrong. This was your song. You remember the day you caught her with another man buying her a necklace when you were looking for an anniversary gift to surprise her with. You look at your right hand and realize you still were wearing the black and green tungsten ring she mailed you when you first were dating while you were stationed overseas. You set your now empty martini glass down and slip the ring off your finger. You turn it over in your hands as Paul sings sweet nothings echo out onto the balcony. In your last move to forget her, you throw the ring as hard as you can over the railing into the darkness below. You step inside to mix another drink and watch the moon peek out around the rainclouds. After sitting in a lounge chair watching the white foam waves roll onto the sand below you look at your watch. It's a worn Seiko Five you wore during your service as it reads 12:15AM. You remember trying to imitate Paul's voice while slow dancing with her. You thought you were a bad singer but she loved it regardless. You take out a cigarette and flick open your old and scratched Zippo lighter and light it, taking a long drag. You think about what you could have done better. What could have been. A single tear rolls down your cheek as you finish your smoke. You silently mouth Paul's lyrics wishing everything was ok.
Besides the penthouse this hit pretty close to home for me. Hope everyone who read enjoyed 🤙🏻
wow...
This is extremely well said
I keep coming back. I can't decide why. Can nostalgia come from something you've never experienced?
POV : You are home alone and you heard something in you're kitchen, you go check.
You see the serial killer of town searching the drawers. You sprint upstairs, hiding for the killer.
As you hide, the killer start's singing this song, you realize it's your long lost brother that got brainwashed to kill you and you're parents.
He finds you and knocks you out, you wake up in a basement.
You realize it's you're last day alive.
You scream : 'I love you no matter what, but it's time for me to go. Goodbye, brother.'
He pulls the trigger to himself, as you seem him murder himself, you cry and scream for help.
Year's later you still think about the loss of you're brother.
hope you enjoyed my work.
Yo when are you gonna go direct a movie🤨
Hey this is a POV even though I’m not trying to win, just trying to enjoy life while it lasts, here it goes:
POV: You remembered this song from 1959 and you played it while slow dancing with your wife on a summer afternoon but remembered that house you were staring into was your ex’s who cheated on you..
But you still loved her.
You didn’t want to give up on her.
But you knew you had to,
You put up your umbrella, took out a cigarette and drove away.
Thanks for reading all the way through!
Also it’s kinda short
I got it 👍
POV: you and your boy bestfriend share a apartment together and couple months ago he asked you out with this song playing but you said no to him because you thought of him as a brother and nothing more but now he has a new girlfriend and you hear the song playing in his room as you think what it would be like being in a relationship with him as you think of what it would be like you start to notice that you have being falling for him and didnt realize it ,but you get the guts to go his room and knock on his door as he opens it you ask if you can dance with him and fall asleep in his arms forever.....
thank the lord for you friend, i’ve been looking for a loooooong version!! 🙌🏻👏🏼😭🥰
i forgot how many times I slept while this video is playing.
Haha same!
This is why I love old music. It makes me happy
POV: You recently moved into a new house and at on a rainy night, you're reading and hear this song being played next door. You look through the window and see an elderly couple dancing. A smile forms across your face as you continue reading.
makes me sleep its so nice song love it!!
I was looking for this, thank you😌
Don't you hate it when you really like someone..you build up the courage to ask them out..just for them to be interested in someone else;
Pov: You are stressed and nervous because you have exams tommorow and then you listen to this and it relaxed you so much that you think of how you would have lived in the early years.
me: nearly falls asleep
an ad: I don’t think so ❤️
This song makes me feel sad but not at the same time because you imagine a person from another world who doesn’t exist with you…
this video lets me get into my feels so much it’s so nice
Pov: Your eyes are glazed and lackadaisical as you lay on your bed. The next door neighbors who always play their music to loud are at it again, this time you appreciate it. Turning to your phone you see the message you sent to your crush, she still hasn't responded. It's raining and you watch it hit your window from your bed, you imagine the next time you'll even see your crush, "hopefully she won't find someone else" you think to yourself and then again you look at your phone, she still hasn't responded, "not yet" you think as you stare up at your ceiling your eyes closing and your worries fading away.
Thanks for the help falling asleep it’s been a hard time for me 💗
Look after yourself 💗
just imagine a mischievous couple dancing in the rain after blowing up sh*t, smiling while screams are muffled in the background
pov: your taking a break from playing piano, which is your only coping mechanism, and you hear this playing from the other room and you quickly realize that it’s your mother and father dancing. you decide to stand up and quietly watch them from the doorframe, wondering if you will ever have something like them, as you suddenly feel an Immense amount of loneliness, you go to your room and read the last chapter of the book series you’ve been reading, feeling as lonely as ever, you decide to text your friend, not getting a respond back you decide to play piano again and learn “Your New Boyfriend” by Wilbur Soot. you really have no life huh? you just read that entire thing, bet you feel silly huh?
Makes me think of my dad- this was his favorite song. Miss him
pov: you're in a cafe. 3 people there. it's decent place but surely underrated. they have the best milkshakes. "Lora's milkshakes" sure was the hit in 1980. sadly, no one cares about it now. why? starbucks is a thing.
it's raining, i rush inside. i shake my hair, the newspaper in my hands wet. i toss it aside. suddenly, our song starts playing. i slightly groan. leaving me on my anniversary. kinda pathetic how i'm not over her yet.
i take my usual seat by the window and take out my pen and paper. then a waitress comes up. without looking i say
"the usual please".
the waitress was quiet for a moment then said.
"sir, i'm new. i don't really know your usual."
i look up, slightly annoyed. then our eyes meet.
there she stands, with a notebook and pen. her fluffy brown hair is messy and slightly wet. her big brown eyes shine bright and her smile so dreamy and soothing. i lose my words. and don't dare speak.
her pov : i was on my first shift. most of the customers here are nice, but old. i hear the bell ring when the door opens. i don't pay attention thinking it's another old fella.
i clean the table then head to the new customer. i approach him. he's drawing. i see his concentration. then he suddenly speaks. i'm lost for a moment. i kindly explain that i'm new. our eyes meet.
his blue eyes and wet hair suited him.for a second, i thought i found my soulmate.
after a moment, i knew i found him. i gently smile.
Paul Anka sure knew how to sing them
truuue!
thanks, this helps me sleep lol
This increased my sad feelings but its comforting in a way
44:48 ❤️
thank you, this video helped me a lot
This music have really a special power, that once we heard it, we are at ease , goodness love it so much.
I was just chilling n vibin and then I saw 44:47. Made my day :)
haha I completely forgot about that easter egg!!
This makes me feel like a side character, watching from the safety of my room, content and lazy for a minute before life picks back up
Ahh just playing minecraft at 3am and listening to this
Finally inner peace
this is giving me “its the end of the world, you’re the only one alive and you’re floating alone in a dark, empty abyss” vibes
I love relaxing to this video then an ad starts blaring. Really adds to the vibe.
POV: You're reading a good book by the window while your lover is making dinner as a treat for your anniversary. You have a fresh glass of wine. You're warm and cozy.
Random POV (Time set back in the 1990's)
Your'e in your room, reading a book your ex lover gave you on your 16th brithday. When suddenly, a flash of lightning disturbed your vision. The radio downstairs then started to play this song. You remember your ex lover, who died due to cancer. You and him slow dancing to this song while getting wet in the rain, then suddenly thunder roared. The music started getting louder, then you felt chills run up your spine, as a cold breeze embrace you.
Then you remembered...
You were home alone.
Then you gasped for air. You look around frantically and saw the book you were reading. "Oh," you stated. "I must've fell asleep." Then you put your hand on your forehead- it's now in 2020- then picked up the book you were reading. The soft patter of rain calming your nerves.
Until this song randomly played in the living room.
Sorry mah dudes. This is what happens when I read too much wattpad. ;)
