The acceptance of a man, although he continues to struggle with letting go of someone he still holds so deeply in his heart. Stumbling upon their song, as he reminisced moments of the love they once had, manifested and sealed with a tune that they were all too familiar with, as he wonders if she still sees the light, the faint tune of a hum, of everything that they've had. Her departure, once left him in a pool of darkness. He eventually climbed out of it, as he woke up one day, seeing clearly why things had to be this way. She loved him, she knew him better than he knew himself. You shouldn't change someone you love, but accept them for who they are, and she couldn't. Perhaps with time, with each passing season, may it inevitably lead to profound changes, personal growth or transformations in their lives, a much needed change in him. Standing the test of time, he still remains conflicted with whether he should fight, or let go, as he realizes that it must have been true love, that's still allowing him to see the light, through it all. He knows he still loves her, he isn't going to give up.
What beautiful and touching words Benjamin! These words resonate with me. Although I haven't had tons of heartbreak in my life yet, this still rings true. Many people have left my life in many different ways and I still love them all. The trick is to let go and still remember them for who they were.
I still absolutely adore this song, and this performance is beautiful. As long as I live, these words and melodies will reverberate throughout my house
I just cant get enough of this song. I still come back to this when I miss that one person. The lyrics of this song is the most heartfelt. This is Nov 2024.
I showed my girlfriend this song a few months ago...today she mentioned that she hopes this is our wedding song. I’ve never been more in love with her than that moment...
Saw these guys live last night (10/29/16) at Belly Up in Solana Beach. They did this song and at the end they stopped playing and let the packed house finish the chorus. Awesome.
I love how he radio-edits himself... "til kingdom come you're the only one I want to see me for all the stupid *shit* I've done" turns into "for all the stupid *things* I've done." ........ That original line is what makes this my favorite song
They're playing our song They're playing our song Can you see the light? Can you hear the hum? Of our song I hope they get it right I hope we dance tonight Before we get it wrong And the seasons Will change us new, but you're the best I've known And you know me, I could not not be stuck on you If it weren't true I was swimming My eyes were dark 'til you woke me And told me that opening is just the start It was Now I see you 'til kingdom come you're the one I want To see me for all the stupid shit I've done Soil and six feet under Kept just like we were Before you knew you'd know me And you know me Blooming up from the ground Three rounds and a sound Like whispering, "you know me You know me" So this was our song This was our song I still see the light I can see them And the criss cross Of what is true won't get to us 'Cause you know me, I could not give up on you And the fog of what is right Won't cover us 'cause you know me I could not give up a fight Soil and six feet under (criss cross, of what is true won't get to us) Kept just like we were ('cause you know me, I could not give up on you) Before you knew you'd know me (wouldn't feel true) And you know me Blooming up from the ground (the fog of what is right won't cover us) Three rounds and a sound ('cause you know me, I could not give up a fight) Like whispering, "you know me (wouldn't feel right) You knw me
I swear I teared up in the beginning of the song. This man is so beautiful. And I'm a straight male. My mouth was just open in awe. 3 Rounds and a Sound is one of my favorite albums in a long time. And the instruments. Oh god, the instruments! I love when i can pinpoint which instrument is making what noise, you can really see their talent. Just.. oh man.
absolutely amazing- I heard this first in the background on Californication! It hit me like a ton of bricks- instantly fell in love with this song! Well done Blind Pilot! I'm definitely a fan!
Have to say i liked this song before Californiacation, however, that show has made me love it even more! I've seen Blind Pilot live twice and they never disappoint! An overall great band!
"And the criss cross Of what is true won't get to us.. And the fog of what is right Won't cover us 'cause you know me I could not give up a fight" This was our song... I wonder if I'll ever speak to you again. Regardless I know I'll never stop trying and I certainly will never forget you and how you made me want to carry on just for another glimpse of your smile. Okay?
Beautiful, so meaningful to me. My wife, Marsha (RIP), and I had one true love. We knew each other. My day for leaving is coming soon. I hope to see her again.
They're playing our song. They're playing our song. Can you see the lights? Can you hear the hum of our song? I hope they get it right. I hope we dance tonight before we get it wrong.

Soil and six feet under, kept just like we were before you knew you'd know me. Now you know me. Blooming up from the ground, 3 rounds and a sound, like whispering, "you know me. You know me." So this was our song. This was our song. I still see the lights. I can see them.

Une been to two or three blind pilot concerts in Telluride coming and they are still extremely memorable. I was a young middle schooler but so worth it
A great performance of a great song by a great set of musicians. This is the only version I know. A woman I met, & got involved with, asked me to learn this song for her - but I don't think she'd ever really listened or understood its words & meaning. Having never heard it before, & then listening to the lyrics, I realized that this wonderfully poignant song is about a break-up. I learned the song and the relationship only lasted about 5 months - fortunately....! But I still have the song & perform a version of it which is mostly appreciated - even by audiences hearing the song for the first time & who have never heard of Blind Pilot. My advice to anyone would be to be wary of getting into a relationship with someone who doesn't listen to the words( of a song or otherwise...)& maybe not to choose a break-up song, no matter how beautiful, as the one to which you walk down the aisle or to which you have your first dance...
This songs makes me sob missing my boyfriend who is living in another country for now. It became "our song", and it's funny to see how other couples in the comments think of it as their song, too hahaha but it is not surprising.
I hope you ended up making it to bonnaroo or sasquatch I saw bon iver for the 3rd time and blind pilot for the first time. both of them were too good for words to describe
One of the most beautiful, and to myself, more important songs from my earlier years. I had always hoped to get married to this song. It's a song I hope I never forget about.
My wife and I had our first dance at our wedding to this song.
Small world; same here.
Me too
Me as well :)
I got chills thinking abkut that. Congrats I hope you have a long happy life together!
awesome ;)

Exactly
This is one of the best well written, well performed, heartfelt songs I have heard in my 44 years of living. Thank you.
I feel blessed to know this song
Me too. It's pretty ridiculous how beautiful it is.
"before you knew you'd know me,and you know me." the suspense of the heartfelt chorus kills me every time...so beautiful.
Meg Wagner. Same, kills me each and every time. Paper Kites - Bloom
Yes, indeed! I always find myself closing my eyes and smiling at that part
Probably my favorite song of all time. Ever. It's the best.
Me too!
One of the most lasting songs in my library that has aged like a fine wine. Still packs the emotional punch it did over a decade ago.

Been in love with this song for like 5 years now... and to hear it live, wow. I didn't think it was possible to love it even more!
Here a reminder to listen it again :)
This song is a masterpiece. Its beautiful
I showed my girlfriend this song a few months ago...today she mentioned that she hopes this is our wedding song. I’ve never been more in love with her than that moment...
Are you guys married? :)
I hope you made it.
Update ?!
literally fell in love with this as soon heard it. I could put it on repeat all day.
“You know me” speaks much more meaningful than “You love me”. At least thats what this song taught me.
Saw these guys live last night (10/29/16) at Belly Up in Solana Beach. They did this song and at the end they stopped playing and let the packed house finish the chorus. Awesome.
I can still see the lights, my friend. Thank you. This song means a lot to me. Thank you.
I love how he radio-edits himself...
"til kingdom come you're the only one I want to see me for all the stupid *shit* I've done"
turns into "for all the stupid *things* I've done."
........ That original line is what makes this my favorite song
Sometimes I forget how much I love this beautiful song. They sound awesome singing it live.
One day I will dance this song with my future husband on my wedding night!!!!! 😍😍😍😍#agirlcandream
let's set a date
🌸🌸
lucy terrazas the dream did it come true babe??? wish it is
did it come true?
someday i gonna play this song on my wedding night
Brought tears to my eyes.
It's hard to find a band capable of performing a song live as well as what it sounds like when recorded on the album. Their music is simply beautiful.
They're playing our song
They're playing our song
Can you see the light?
Can you hear the hum?
Of our song
I hope they get it right
I hope we dance tonight
Before we get it wrong
And the seasons
Will change us new, but you're the best I've known
And you know me, I could not not be stuck on you
If it weren't true
I was swimming
My eyes were dark 'til you woke me
And told me that opening is just the start
It was
Now I see you 'til kingdom come you're the one I want
To see me for all the stupid shit I've done
Soil and six feet under
Kept just like we were
Before you knew you'd know me
And you know me
Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds and a sound
Like whispering, "you know me
You know me"
So this was our song
This was our song
I still see the light
I can see them
And the criss cross
Of what is true won't get to us
'Cause you know me, I could not give up on you
And the fog of what is right
Won't cover us 'cause you know me
I could not give up a fight
Soil and six feet under (criss cross, of what is true won't get to us)
Kept just like we were ('cause you know me, I could not give up on you)
Before you knew you'd know me (wouldn't feel true)
And you know me
Blooming up from the ground (the fog of what is right won't cover us)
Three rounds and a sound ('cause you know me, I could not give up a fight)
Like whispering, "you know me (wouldn't feel right)
You knw me

Heard this song today for the first time, absolutely beautiful and it just caught my attention straight away
The best song of them. It touches the bottom of my heart.
Still crying when I listen to this… as a grown man
When a song gives you goosebumps. Oh yes yes.
This might be the most beautiful song about heartbreak ever written
Эта самая замечательная песня ИЗ всех, что я слышала. Превосходный, чистый голос!!! Супер
Casually, I was walking nearby The Tokyo Tower when listen this beautiful song and ever since became one of my favorites…
Holy shit I love the first time you really hear the lyrics of a song, and you realize how amazing it is
CALIFORNICATION !

@@psychic_plays huh what?
@@vassileyZ californication
Just watched the series and this is by far the most memorable moment in the show.
Truly great music & he is oh so easy on the eyes.
They're playing our song.
They're playing our song.
Can you see the lights?
Can you hear the hum of our song?
I hope they get it right.
I hope we dance tonight
before we get it wrong.
And the seasons
will change us new
but you're the best I've known-
and you know me,
I could not be stuck on you
if it weren't true.
I was swimming.
My eyes were dark
'till you woke me
and told me that opening
was just the start.
It was.
Now I see you, 'till kingdom come
you're the one I want
to see me for all
the stupid shit I've done.
Soil and six feet under,
kept just like we were
before you knew you'd know me.
Now you know me.
Blooming up from the ground,
3 rounds and a sound,
like whispering, "you know me.
You know me."
So this was our song.
This was our song.
I still see the lights.
I can see them.
And the crisscross
of what is true won't get to us
'cause you know me-
I could not give up on you...
wouldn’t feel true.
And the fog of
what is right
won't cover us
'cause you know me-
I could not give up a fight...
wouldn’t feel right.
Soil and six feet under,
kept just like we were

One of my favorite songs ever. makes my eyes piss on my face everytime
Самая трогательная и душевная песня. Если бы меня спросили, что я бы слушал вечно - то ответом была данная композиция.
wow i can see the emotion behind the song, thats usually last after too many times performing this is beautiful
Жизнь приобретает ещё больший смысл, пока есть такие песни.
He's a beautiful singer. And a beautiful man!
Got that right! Whoa. Quite the babe!
I love this song...its haunting
Favorite song of all time. So good. Goosebumps every time.
Love LOVE LOVE this song.
ugh, listened to this before bed last night and first thing in my head this morning when I woke up and it's still stuck, best day ever!!
just saw them Sat @ the Crowbar in Tampa for dirt cheap couldn't believe it. Best concert I've ever been to. They are even better live.
Not many bands can sing a song BETTER live than on an album, but damn... I'm not even remotely gay and his voice makes me question my sexuality!
A great performance of a great song by a great set of musicians. This is the only version I know. A woman I met, & got involved with, asked me to learn this song for her - but I don't think she'd ever really listened or understood its words & meaning.

I can't get enough of this sound.

Beautiful!
I would love to hear Blind Pilot play at the Wilma in Missoula, Montana
So good, even better than the recording! I love the emotion in his voice near the end of the song
Saw them with The Decemberists and very quickly fell in love.

This reminds me of a time when i was like 5 and my sister was just born it was a great time
Damn, I love this song. Such a great band.
