Found this song when my girlfriend broke up with me and liked it so much I put it in my favorites. 8 years later and I am married to the same girl who broke my heart and we couldnt be happier.
I find such a deep and interchangeable admiration for this song... Through some parts, I wallow in the true sadness and beauty in that sadness- yet in others, I become extremely overwhelmed with happiness and absolute contentment. How can one feel so happy, yet so sad... and everything in between- all at once? Music, that's how. (Great music, I should add).
I was 14 or so when I found this song. Then, I was going through a very tough depression. Today, 3 years later, a lot has changed. And although sometimes I get that empty feeling in me again, I'll always remember the hope and relief this song gave me. It helped me live.
It’s awesome how music can do that, help people stay grounded and keep clear thoughts. Songs to listen to when you’re sad, happy, mad, spiteful, anything lol and it always helps. I’m so grateful for music. It’s helped me through depression and anxiety as well. Hope you are still doing good! We are all in this life together
Its not depression, its called "growing up" Im 17 now, before 2-3 years, I was sad, but now... now Im still growing up, who knows where future bring us...
Dominik Svetec don’t over think, live in the moment, don’t care what others think and don’t rush school. You’ll see like 2 or 3 friends compared to 10 or 20 once you’re graduated. Don’t know how many friends ya have but cherish the times you’re having with them because they don’t last forever. Believe me.
I remember when I was living at my grandparents house looking for a job just sad lonely and depressed and this song along with prayer always gave me hope to know that things were gonna get better and now a few years later I'm in a completely different situation and much happier I just came back from my First trip to Paris! So too anyone out there wondering if it's worth it to keep going believe me IT GETS BETTER! MAKE GOOD LIFE DECISIONS AND IT WILL GET BETTER! DONT GIVE UP
This song is just the loveliest. I remember listening to this song when I was in high school when things in my life were bad and getting out of bed was an awfully difficult task to achieve. Now I'm 23, have travelled more than I ever dreamed I could and I live in an amazing city on the side of the world. Blue skies really did come after all.
Mine too! I heard one of their songs years ago but never listened to any of their music. I rediscovered the song and then the rest of their music. It's so relevant!
This is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I feel love for this song, the arrangement, production, lyric, vocals. This makes me well up each time I listen to it.
"I'll do anything to be happy" Pretty much my mantra right now. Its been a long time since I've had a moment of pure happiness, not weighted down by other emotions like sad, anger, or guilt.
Completely misinterpreted this song the first time I heard it by not actually listening to the lyrics. It's one of the most hopeful and optimistic songs I've ever heard. Inspiring.
This is a song for anyone With a broken heart This is a song for anyone Who can't get out of bed I'll do anything To be happy Oh, 'cause blue skies are calling But I know that it's hard This is the last song that I write While still in love with you This is the last song that I write While you're even on my mind Cause it's time to leave Those feelings behind Oh, 'cause blue skies are calling But I know that it's hard I don't think that it's the end But I know we can't keep going I don't think that it's the end But I know we can't keep going But blue skies are calling Oh, yeah, blue skies are calling Oh, blue skies are calling But I know that it's hard
I found this song over 10 years ago when I had my first heart break. I thought it would never end. I thought I was going to die from heart break. I was 13 and fell in love with my best friend at the time. He was my first kiss and made me feel so loved. When it was over I just wanted to be dead. 2 months ago I ended my first queer relationship and felt this same exact pain that I felt over 10 years ago. I miss her like fucking hell but I have to remember that it’s better we’re not together because of toxic it was. It only helped that the pain was familiar. This song has helped me when I was 13 and now it’s helping me now when I’m 25. It’s expressed exactly the feelings I have about this pain and how hard it is to get to that good place again. Especially when you love someone so much and so so fucking deeply you feel like that they are your everything in your life. Their presence being gone makes you feel lost too but I know that one day, blue skies will be coming.
when I first heard this sing I cried so hard. I dont know how to explain it other than I felt validated, and understood. Ten years later and those blue skies have never come for me. Not really. But to this day, hearing someone tell me they know that it's hard to wait, is such a fucking comfort to me. If I could thank you guys in a way thar was meaningful, or with a grand gesture I would. But all i have is the youtube comments section. Its not enough.
I love this song. It's quiet, beautiful...so beautiful.... Thumbs up if you are still reading this and you agree!!! :) I hope you all have blue skies all your life, people out there!
One of the first songs I listened to with my girlfriend six months ago. Now that she left me, I've had it on repeat. I don't listen to it because I'm sad, but because it's beautifully written and cheers me up. Thanks Noah And the Whale :)
This songs makes me want to run through a wild, golden grass field during a warm, summer sunset while screaming at the top of my lungs!!! I might even want to cry
The First Days Of Spring album was all I listen to two summers ago when all I had was blue skies, corn fields, and the very best friend I could ever find.
Any of the people that I know that are having struggles I always tell them to listen to this song and they always thank me for it. Thank you Noah and the Whale for helping people out.
This songs makes me want to run through a wild, golden grass field during a warm, summer sunset while screaming at the top of my lungs!!! I might even want to cry :)
Even though this song may not have deep, introspective lyrics the simplicity and the way almost anyone can relate directly to it is amazing. It always helps me through hard times.
It's a song about making a fresh start. It's the last love song cuase he is gonna take his backpack and leave forever chasing blue skies and the sun, and he'll soon discover he doesn't even miss her so much as every steps he takes will take him far away from her memory until she fades into nothingness.
this album really conveys the power of words and music.it makes you feel a million different emotions.for me it was like "i'm gonna travel".."i'm gonna start doing this and that"..its inspiring and gets you really deep..for me it makes me think of my mum who passed away a couple of years ago.she loved music..she would of loved this and this album reminds me of her because she was beautiful and so is this..x
Heard this at the Noah and the Whale "Movie Premiere" about a month and a half ago, adored it then and it just keeps getting better. Cannot wait until the new album comes out! Their sound has become more mature, and wistful now, I think.
From 3 or 4 years ago when I heard this song, I knew I wanted it to be my break up song that would help me get back on my feet. Last night a phone call made that happen. Over a year ended through a phone call.
+Jeremy Buxton I feel the same Jeremy. Six of the best years of my life ended last month. This too, is my break up song, a song that I never thought I would need so much.
I think he perfectly described his broken heart. He got all his inspiration out of it and made an amazing album. That proves again that a broken heart is the perfect inspiration for a song. In this case a very beautiful song! And I totally agree with the people that want to run and scream when they hear this song.
I know this song is about a breakup, but I remember discovering back in 2018 when my cousin died in a car accident. She was like a sister to me, and that was probably one of the hardest seasons of my life. This song puts me at ease, and I feel an overwhelming sense of peace whenever I hear it. Here I am 2 years later in quarantine really going through it (as is everyone in the world ), and yet again this song is making me feel better. Its good to know that blue skies are coming, and things will start to look up. Whatever you're going through, stay strong! Blue skies are coming! :)

The trouble for me was that she (and her father) visited me twice in my dreams after 30yrs. And I had no idea that either of them passed away and advanced on to the next life.
Maybe that's just how it is. They're not 'big' because most people do not understand their music. Most just want music with superficial lyrics. I've observed this phenomenon with lots of great music artists, people just don't understand them. I feel content with the fact that there are people like you and me and we listen and understand the emotions behind the lyrics and the music as well. I don't want people dancing and drooling over how great the lead singer's hair or how hot he is.
I had this song on my iPod but I had never listened to it. I put it on shuffle and this song came up. Suddenly, everything around me became so peaceful and all I could hear was this song. Amazing.
I always loved this kind of beat, the way it makes you think of the ocean. I love this. And it gives me hope, hope for nothing in particular, just hope, pure hope.
This song has really helped me and my (recent) ex stay close as friends and we're working towards the potential of getting back together again. Love this song.
This songs for me...brokenhearted. This band is just epic, so much better than all the crap at the top of the charts, their music creates emotion and just touches my heart in their prue true of lyrics. x
This song got me over my first breakup. I was in so much pain I thought I was going to die. The day I heard this song, something changed. It helped heal me and it's been very special to me ever since.
@MrWhoaXThere Same by me. My mom had cancer like 2 years ago. It was tough, but this song reminded me that there's always a light ind the dark. Love from Czech Republic!!
This song makes me feel so blissful, I can't even put it into words. I'm so glad I found it. And I love how its like a continuation of "Our Window", except with a more hopeful outlook.
It's ok, I just broke up with my boyfriend of almost 3 years. I didn't want to, either, but I know I had to. I don't deserve to be treated the way he was treating me. But sometimes when you're with someone so long, you look past the bad things to stay with the familiarity of the relationship. I'm almost 20 and single for the first time in a long time. He was my first boyfriend, my best friend. I feel completely alone right now, but I know it will get better eventually, even though it's hard now.
come back every time I get my heart broken
There's a response waiting for you from someone who does the same. Promise.
That means often
You still smelled his cologne, I still smelled her perfume. It's songs like this that make it work out somehow.
Found this song when my girlfriend broke up with me and liked it so much I put it in my favorites. 8 years later and I am married to the same girl who broke my heart and we couldnt be happier.
Falcon noclaF I love that story. Cheers
I love this
Good for you!
I love that!
Wow great story and glad for the way it turned out.

How can one feel so happy, yet so sad... and everything in between- all at once? Music, that's how. (Great music, I should add).
I absolutely agree and love this❤️
+Leah Krokowski i feel the same way, for life
Amazing comment. Hope you found happiness since. (:
Leah Krokowski not bad i guess. it's sentimental.
I was 14 or so when I found this song. Then, I was going through a very tough depression. Today, 3 years later, a lot has changed. And although sometimes I get that empty feeling in me again, I'll always remember the hope and relief this song gave me. It helped me live.
Hope you're doing well! :)
It’s awesome how music can do that, help people stay grounded and keep clear thoughts. Songs to listen to when you’re sad, happy, mad, spiteful, anything lol and it always helps. I’m so grateful for music. It’s helped me through depression and anxiety as well. Hope you are still doing good! We are all in this life together
Its not depression, its called "growing up" Im 17 now, before 2-3 years, I was sad, but now... now Im still growing up, who knows where future bring us...
Dominik Svetec I’m 25 bro & trust me, life gets a lot more confusing and hard after high school. Enjoy that shit.
Dominik Svetec don’t over think, live in the moment, don’t care what others think and don’t rush school. You’ll see like 2 or 3 friends compared to 10 or 20 once you’re graduated. Don’t know how many friends ya have but cherish the times you’re having with them because they don’t last forever. Believe me.
"I'll do anything to be happy"-----Line made my start tearing up. It's a beautiful song.
It's a line that I almost can't hear, because I can't help but cry
This song really helped me when I lost my car keys, I found them eventually but it was a really difficult 45mins
Hahahha!
🤭😁😁
I needed this giggle
How’d it help? Lol 😂
Bro I lost mine this past Halloween, it was an hour before I realized I lost them
This song saved my life
Found from the end of Ambulance. Made me very emotional. Rest in peace to those killed by knife crime 🙏🏻
Same
Same here 😊
Omg same!!! Had to shazm it to know the song
I remember when I was living at my grandparents house looking for a job just sad lonely and depressed and this song along with prayer always gave me hope to know that things were gonna get better and now a few years later I'm in a completely different situation and much happier I just came back from my First trip to Paris! So too anyone out there wondering if it's worth it to keep going believe me IT GETS BETTER! MAKE GOOD LIFE DECISIONS AND IT WILL GET BETTER! DONT GIVE UP
The Downtown Cat Thank you, honestly I needed that
This song is just the loveliest. I remember listening to this song when I was in high school when things in my life were bad and getting out of bed was an awfully difficult task to achieve. Now I'm 23, have travelled more than I ever dreamed I could and I live in an amazing city on the side of the world. Blue skies really did come after all.
This album is everything to me at this moment in my life.
Mine too! I heard one of their songs years ago but never listened to any of their music. I rediscovered the song and then the rest of their music. It's so relevant!
+Mallory Cm I miss them so much.
Here from the BBC show Ambulance...truly touched my heart. RIP to those taken by knife violence. Watching from NZ...
This is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I feel love for this song, the arrangement, production, lyric, vocals. This makes me well up each time I listen to it.
So, I will send u that reply hoping you receive 10 years later and come back to listen that music again!
"I'll do anything to be happy"
Pretty much my mantra right now. Its been a long time since I've had a moment of pure happiness, not weighted down by other emotions like sad, anger, or guilt.
this song cleans your soul . it's like clear cold water entering your body and spreading all over you.
Completely misinterpreted this song the first time I heard it by not actually listening to the lyrics. It's one of the most hopeful and optimistic songs I've ever heard. Inspiring.
This song keeps me going
this is just one of those songs that make you feel like everything's all right :)
This is a song for anyone
With a broken heart
This is a song for anyone
Who can't get out of bed
I'll do anything
To be happy
Oh, 'cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard
This is the last song that I write
While still in love with you
This is the last song that I write
While you're even on my mind
Cause it's time to leave
Those feelings behind
Oh, 'cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard
I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going
I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going
But blue skies are calling
Oh, yeah, blue skies are calling
Oh, blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard
Thanks!
Isn't it "blue skies are coming"?
Elfwald I thought it was Blue skies are calming
This song makes your heart heavy.

WTF! How many years I miss this beautiful song.
when I first heard this sing I cried so hard. I dont know how to explain it other than I felt validated, and understood.
Ten years later and those blue skies have never come for me. Not really.
But to this day, hearing someone tell me they know that it's hard to wait, is such a fucking comfort to me.
If I could thank you guys in a way thar was meaningful, or with a grand gesture I would. But all i have is the youtube comments section.
Its not enough.
I love this song. It's quiet, beautiful...so beautiful.... Thumbs up if you are still reading this and you agree!!! :) I hope you all have blue skies all your life, people out there!
I never can forget this song. This song is a part of my life. Thanks
Why did Noah and the whale never become a big international artist?:( they're music is beautiful #obsessed
Sometimes its better to stay underground.
this song means so much to me right now
One of the first songs I listened to with my girlfriend six months ago. Now that she left me, I've had it on repeat. I don't listen to it because I'm sad, but because it's beautifully written and cheers me up. Thanks Noah And the Whale :)
the drums at the beginning... ah. :-) pure bliss.
Even though i broke up with someone...i feel like this.. cause i didnt want to. ugh. it makes me want to ball my eyes out. this is the best song
This songs makes me want to run through a wild, golden grass field during a warm, summer sunset while screaming at the top of my lungs!!! I might even want to cry
I’ll always come back here when my anxiety get pretty bad ☺️ this song comforts me so much
The First Days Of Spring album was all I listen to two summers ago when all I had was blue skies, corn fields, and the very best friend I could ever find.
Any of the people that I know that are having struggles I always tell them to listen to this song and they always thank me for it. Thank you Noah and the Whale for helping people out.
So many years have past...
We're still here
This songs makes me want to run through a wild, golden grass field during a warm, summer sunset while screaming at the top of my lungs!!! I might even want to cry :)
Just imagine listening to this song, when its sunrise and you need hope to keep on going
Even though this song may not have deep, introspective lyrics
the simplicity and the way almost anyone can relate directly to it is amazing. It always helps me through hard times.
Feeling so nostalgic with this song *.* I love it
redemption/break up/depression song anyone?
my last goodbye by Trading yesterday
Birds of Tokyo - Circles
It's a song about making a fresh start. It's the last love song cuase he is gonna take his backpack and leave forever chasing blue skies and the sun, and he'll soon discover he doesn't even miss her so much as every steps he takes will take him far away from her memory until she fades into nothingness.
Redemption
This song kills me inside, its beautiful.
I wish I had enough heart to cry when I hear it.
Redemptive, soul destroying, but more importantly a song that will keep you going. I've really needed this song the last year.
I haven't listened to this song in a few years.. Damn 😢
this album really conveys the power of words and music.it makes you feel a million different emotions.for me it was like "i'm gonna travel".."i'm gonna start doing this and that"..its inspiring and gets you really deep..for me it makes me think of my mum who passed away a couple of years ago.she loved music..she would of loved this and this album reminds me of her because she was beautiful and so is this..x

+Jeremy Buxton I feel the same Jeremy. Six of the best years of my life ended last month. This too, is my break up song, a song that I never thought I would need so much.
I clicked on this randomly, this is awsome, his voice is amazingly beautiful. °0°
I think he perfectly described his broken heart. He got all his inspiration out of it and made an amazing album. That proves again that a broken heart is the perfect inspiration for a song. In this case a very beautiful song!
And I totally agree with the people that want to run and scream when they hear this song.
"I'll do anything to be happy. Oh, cause blue skies are coming, but I know that it's hard."
Noah and the whale write the most beautiful,creative music around today. You cannot classify them they are in a league of their own. Marvellous

reddit brought me here. i needed this song so much and i didn't even know it.
They're so unique, I don't understand why they're not bigger than One Direction.
Maybe that's just how it is. They're not 'big' because most people do not understand their music. Most just want music with superficial lyrics.

this song means a lot to me, it really does
30/06/2020: the sky, too, was blue this morning
This song was shared with me on a playlist .... he did break my heart ........ I treasure the playlist now, 10 years later - great song!
I had this song on my iPod but I had never listened to it. I put it on shuffle and this song came up. Suddenly, everything around me became so peaceful and all I could hear was this song. Amazing.

Lovely comment!
this song helped me get out of bed when my bro had a tumor
i just love this song so much
A very nostalgic song for me....reminding me of the times where I was so down. Time flies and sometimes it does mend the broken heart
This song has really helped me and my (recent) ex stay close as friends and we're working towards the potential of getting back together again. Love this song.
you know a song is good when it makes you cry.
this album? masterpiece! :)
First time ever hearing this song tonight. Soul food 🫶🏻
Thumbs up if you think all the songs of Noah and the Whale are like medicines for life.
Reminds me of summer and the ocean. The nice breeze, the sounds of seagulls, the waves crashing on the beach. Good times.
Such pure amazing music. This song has saved my life and many others
My sister used to play this so much when I was a kid and I forgot all ab it but I just remembered it on the toilet so I’m here lol
This songs for me...brokenhearted. This band is just epic, so much better than all the crap at the top of the charts, their music creates emotion and just touches my heart in their prue true of lyrics. x
the best music ive heard in a pretty long time.
This song is just so perfect for any situation anyone could possibly be in.
This song got me over my first breakup. I was in so much pain I thought I was going to die. The day I heard this song, something changed. It helped heal me and it's been very special to me ever since.
i love noah and the whale.
i cant go a day without listening to this song
@MrWhoaXThere Same by me. My mom had cancer like 2 years ago. It was tough, but this song reminded me that there's always a light ind the dark. Love from Czech Republic!!
This song is exactly how I feel at this moment and it's a relief that I heard this song today.
This song makes me feel so blissful, I can't even put it into words. I'm so glad I found it.
And I love how its like a continuation of "Our Window", except with a more hopeful outlook.
the first line and i'm crying! this is beautiful.
I love how their music speaks to everyone and makes people feel better. Noah And The Whale is amazing
This song has brought me through a lot, without Noah and the whale i probably wouldn't be alive today.
The First Day of Spring -> Blue Skies
Best melancholy combo.
This song always makes me feel like I could cry. Strangely, it always calms be down too.
The only song that actually brings me to tears, great song.
i'm in peace
This is magical. It's the best.
beautiful song
This song is honestly amazing, I could listen to it forever and not get bored!
recently im in the mood for all this uplifting moody music. i just finished listening to arcade fire wake up. so good!
i woke up today with this song playing in my head, B4 i actually woke up...
i guess today is going to be a great day..
his voice.. is so unique. i love it.
i woke up today with this song playing in my head, B4 i actually woke up...
I'm in the same boat as you. I found Noah and the Whale, Laura Marling, and Mumford & Sons...but I want MORE!!!!!
This song always makes me feel happier.
best band, song and album ever!!!!
I listen to this every evening, while I'm writing.
this is a beautiful song...
i am in love with this song.
the opening lines to this take on a whole new meaning laying in intensive care after having a coronary infarction
This song is so beautiful.
It's ok, I just broke up with my boyfriend of almost 3 years. I didn't want to, either, but I know I had to. I don't deserve to be treated the way he was treating me. But sometimes when you're with someone so long, you look past the bad things to stay with the familiarity of the relationship. I'm almost 20 and single for the first time in a long time. He was my first boyfriend, my best friend. I feel completely alone right now, but I know it will get better eventually, even though it's hard now.
any updates in 2018? :)
2020
