I know a lot of people interpret this song as a love song due to the video, but it's about Amber's close friend dying, and having to come to terms with never seeing them again.
I heard this song for the first time the day I found out someone close to me was terminally ill. It's exactly how I interpreted the lyrics, but I 100% thought it was due to the circumstances when I first heard the song.
Yeah, that’s what I got from reading the lyrics. My grandma passed away at the beginning of the year, and this song is exactly how I feel when I see her in my dreams. It’s a beautiful song.
I come here to read the comments just to feel the comfort of other who are mourning their loved ones. My sister passed away at a young age February of this year, and some days it feels like the first day it happened again. Today is one of those days.
After my mother died I had an awful time coping. I dreamt of her the morning after she passed. She looked absolutely radiant and healthy. She was very sick before she passed. She floated down to me and asked me if I was okay. When I woke up I had tears running down my face. I tried to go back to sleep so I could see her again. It took me years to be okay. I don’t dream of her anymore, but I feel her all around me. This song when it comes up in my other playlists makes me think she’s saying hello ❤️ If you still have your mother, hug her tight. Look at her and understand that no matter what, she’s yours and you’re hers❤️
I think this song can be interpreted to whatever you need it to be in time. Whether it’s grieving a best friend or a soul mate you haven’t met yet. There is no right or wrong answer here. Super underrated and beautiful song.
It was a good breezy sunday when i decided to take a nap midnoon, put on some good music to sleep, dreamt of my late wife, smiling to me with her cute eyes,in the midst of the nap and woke up to this song on roll via Spotify. I had the best Sunday of my life. and today,marks 2 years of her eternity rest. May Allah bless you always, Farah Najwa binti Zakaria ❤️ 1994-2019
my bestfriend and I loved this song, we would listen to it all the time. a few weeks ago she passed away and this song holds even more meaning now. this explains exactly everything that I feel and I never payed attention to the lyrics this closely until now.
A great friend of mine died in a car wreck 8 years ago. A few times I’ve had dreams we were back in school. Sometimes I realize he’s dead while I’m talking to him and have to hold back the sadness and terror so I don’t upset him. This song makes it easier to deal with.
i lost my grandma to covid 19 last year and there were times that she would appear in my dreams. she's there, smiling as if everything was alright and whenever i wake up I would ask myself, "why was she in my dreams, does she want to tell me something?". then, i heard this song. i lost it when the lyrics "but you came and left so fast". i sobbed the whole night, i miss her so much. this song will forever remind me how much i loved my grandmother and i'm glad i came across it and listened to it.
I loved this song even before my Mum died, but now every single line hits. I can only rarely dream about her and I cry every time I wake up. 'but you came and left so fast.'
I lost someone I was very close to in January this year, and this song basically describes the exact feeling I’ve been having. It’s so beautiful but makes me weep every time I listen to it. Thank you so much for this.
Ive been dreaming of someone i know but have never met in real life. We are lovers in my dream. And i dedicate this song to her. Real life is lonely, and having her exist in my subconscious is bittersweet. I know i should be focusing on what is real but i still do wish for her to stay.
culota omg dude this shit is crazy i met the boy that would appear in my love dreams we are currently dating and the weird part is he would have love dreams of me before even meeting me
3 years later and I still listen to this song frequently. Can we appreciate the absolute perfection in your writing and song progression?! Beautiful storytelling 🥺❤️
I used to wish for this all the time after my dad died, to see him in a dream. I never did, but recently I saw a random person who looked exactly like him in clothes he always wore, and I think that that was enough. I always hope It will happen again, that I confuse someone for him, and it probably won't, but the idea that it might is what comforts me, because then he's not really gone if I forget he is, even for a second
This song means so much to me. I had a falling out with my best friend and nearly every night during that time I dreamt of her, we would make up and be sobbing, then I would wake up feeling so empty. I can vividly remember listening to this song in my car during Christmas time looking at all the lights I passed by crying and thinking about how much I missed her. We patched things up and our relationship is stronger than ever now.
I used to have terrible dreams, nightmares actually, where I usually get chased and murdered, except for that one time. I had an extremely calm dream with this guy in it, idk him! I have never met him in my life. We were reading books and he was showing me his journal, it was black with a red stripe. We were just chatting about nothing and everything, and I for once was happy, but a thud startled our momentarily peace and the second my heartbeat started racing he touched my forehead gently and said with the most calming voice I've ever heard "it's ok, nothing is gonna ever happen here. you're safe here, you'll always be safe" and I just felt protected and safe, he was so sure that I had to believe him. He pulled away and told me that he has to go for now but he'll always protect me. that same day I went shopping for school supplies and found the exact same journal!!! THE BLACK ONE WITH THE RED STRIPE!!! I bought it immediately and have been using it since. it's been 3 years and I haven't had a nightmare since. I think about him a lot lately, and this song is mainly responsible for that lol
Maybe it’s a former relative when they were young (most likely a dead relative of yours.)And maybe they saw that you were having bad dreams and came to your dreams to calm you down.I believe it was a sign 👀
I also have only nightmares of me getting murdered and killed in my dreams. I didnt get any dream then suddenly I again started getting nightmares for 1 month straight. Still havent got a happy or calm dream. But your story is anazing!
HOW DOES THIS NOT EVEN HAVE 2 million views??? That's crazy. Amber is crazy talented, I've absolutely fallen in love with her style and music!! THEY NEED TO BLOW UP!
I love this song probably more than any other song... like ever. I'm beyond words in love with this song - just like the guitar and the lyrics, and ugh it's great
idk, this song reminds me of a feeling that i had long forgotten, a feeling of joy and mystery i found in everything when i was a kid which is lacking so much nowadays. Idk how to describe this feeling but wish i could start feeling it again.
I honestly listen to this every night before I go to bed. I've been really crazy about this specific girl for a while and I keep dreaming about her and the lyrics to this song pretty much sum up my situation and it makes me happy that I'm even able to dream about her. Worst part is I feel like she may have feelings too but I'm afraid I'll ruin the friendship we have if I make a move. Hopefully, I'll gain courage soon. (Thanks for hearing my rant people of UA-cam)
@Chance Joseph Phipps I'm in the same situation except I'm a girl, I feel like I might ruin the friendship too if I tell him how I feel. I don't know if he feels the same way. I like to think he does tho but I'm not forcing anything. I'm not sure if he doesn't feel the same way I feel about him at all or if he does feel the same and just isn't saying anything. We've been talking for like 10 months everyday nonstop till like May because I got tired of feeling the way I do for him and him not knowing about it. We give each other our undivided attention and literally talk about everything. He tells me things he doesn't tell anyone else...... It's complicated. I just want to know what I mean to him.... if I even do mean anything to him. He mean's a lot to me tho. We started talking again May 24th but oh well.
you know, going past that friendship barrier is a brave thing to do, but if you really like someone you shouldn't be afraid to say what you feel and you shouldn't be forced to keep in your feelings. i did that for a while and it made me lose my mind, and even though they may not feel the same way, it makes you feel better to tell them, and if they dont reciprocate then now you know you need to move on and find a new healthy relationship. you can still be friends, but putting yourself first is always the right thing to do. do whats best for you :)
There is something about the lyrics of this song that hits differently every time I hear it. I just cannot describe how beautiful the music and the lyrics are, they’re too touching. It has been one of my all time favourite. It’s sad and deep yet still calming in a way. I am attached to it somehow.
So I’m not really sure what love feels like, but I guess this was the closest I got to falling in love. He was my classmate in high school. I hated him in the beginning. He wouldn’t stop picking up on me. He’d irritate me every instance he had the chance to. Slowly, without me really noticing my change of feelings towards him, I started finding him endearing instead of intruding. I’d look forward to the next time he’d hide my books or fight with me. I still couldn’t figure out my feelings towards him. But I did know that fighting with him left me restless. It fazed me more than any other thing at school. He’d make me so angry and frustrated but the minute he’d smile, I’d forget everything. I’d tell myself I shouldn’t let him have that kind of a power over my emotions. But he did. It was a roller coaster. When he did care for me, it was as if he could read my mind and pull out just the right trick to calm me. When I was nervous before going on stage for that play, he held my hand and told me I’d be fine. When I was worried about my exam, he looked into my eye and told me I was the smartest girl he knew and that I’d kill it. I swear, looking back, maybe it is the nostalgia, maybe it is my brain tricking me into looking at him through the filter of the sepia toned good memories, but we were perfect for each other. He figured me out like no one else could. We couldn’t get together. By the time we realised we both liked each other, school came to an end and I accepted my college offer from a country on the other side of the globe. There wasn’t any time left and we were smart enough to understand, without the redundancy of using words, that being friends was the wiser choice. He moved on, and has been with a girl who I wish would give me one chance to hate her. She doesn’t. For some reason, my heart has been dangling in limbo, hung up on him, hoping that someday, we will be together. It seems unlikely, if I were to be rational. I haven’t seen him since graduation. It’s been 3 years. We talk, occasionally. But I can see how her connection is fading as the pages of the calender flip through. But in my dreams, we still have the same dynamic. He doesn’t need the obligation of words to figure out what my mind tries to bury within its coves. He’s still there, just as he was 3 years ago in school. My romantic life is as dry as Arizona in August. But the nights when I see him in my dreams, it’s akin to walking in the rain with this song playing in my mind. It isn’t the same, but it is enough... :)
This whole paragraph was so beautiful it brought me to tears. I know that it's been a year since you left this comment, and things can change, but I promise life moves on to something more meaningful. The heartbreak hurts for a long time, and it feels like it will last forever, but it's important, because it makes you stronger in the end. Sometimes it shows how you need to love yourself and focus on you, and sometimes it just gives you hope for the future. One day you will find yourself happy, whether it's with someone or by yourself, and that's all that will matter in the end. 💛💕💛💕💛
A few months ago my brother passed away. It used to be that when I dreamed, I would dream of a family member dying, and then I would wake up and be relieved that it isn't true. But now I can only get that relief when I dream that he's alive again. Every time it happens, when I wake up, this song is stuck in my head the following morning. It's the most bittersweet thing I've ever experienced, but I know he's where he wants to be.
No need, the more people get to experience this the better, Amber makes beautiful music that needs to be shared everywhere. Go for 100% over the moon!!
I feel silly sometimes, listening to this song and tearing up, but it's painfully relatable. I still have dreams all the time about a person I haven't seen in nearly a decade. I know I'm never going to see them again, but they continue to appear in my dreams. Sometimes, nothing has changed and no time has passed, we're exactly like we used to be. Other times, the dream is about us meeting after all these years. In those dreams, half the time we rebuild our friendship. In the other half, they hate me for falling out of touch. Whichever it is, they all hurt the same when I wake up.
I saw you in a dream You had stayed the same You were beckoning me Said that I had changed Tried to keep my eyes closed I want you so bad Then I awoke and it was so sad Haven't talked to you in months And I thought that I might cry But I'm not that kind of guy I saw you in a dream You came to me You were the sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision There was no reason, no explanation The perfect hallucination All good things come to an end But I thought that this might last But you came alive so fast And when I'm awake I can't switch off It isn't the same but it is enough (It isn't the same but it is enough) I saw you in a dream Then it came tonight I wonder if you'll come and visit me again You take your time to reappear I'm starting to believe that when I call your name You just don't hear me anymore And I know that I shouldn't even try It's a waste of time And when I'm awake I can't switch off It isn't the same but it is enough (It isn't the same but it is enough) And when I'm awake I can't switch off It isn't the same but it is enough It isn't the same but it is enough
This song reminds me of my middle school best friend. Dreamt of him last week. Where ever you are now I hope you're happy. And hopefully we meet again someday. I was looking for something to listen to and I haven't had a song explain my situation so vividly.
I was in grade 1, a new girl took admission named Shivanshee. She became my bestfriend in no time, we used to eat our lunches alone and gossip and laugh a lot. She was so pretty. She left the school after grade 5, and went to a different state to study. We only talked twice after that, phones were not so famous back then. Got to know from someone that she died of blood cancer, when we were in Grade 8. Couldn't believe it, called her parents and they affirmed. Cried so much, my stomach ached. I so so miss her. I have this thing, when I think about someone a lot, I see them in my dream so whenever I want to see her in my dreams I think whole day about her. Dang she really comes, she looks so beautiful in there. I never got a bestfriend after that. I hope she sees this. I'm gonna name my kid someday after her.
This is one of my high school teachers daughters and her daughters best friend Died from drowning 💓give her and everyone in that video a thumbs up they deserve it 💓💓
At first I thought this song was just another heartbreak song. It makes me cry now that I know what it's really about :'( Is that why the video starts and ends with a beach, and why the cover art of Saw You in a Dream EP is a picture of a beach with a lone person (presumably Amber)?
I’ve loved this song since the first time I heard it a few years back, but it has a new meaning to me now. My childhood cat passed away two months ago and I’ve been miserable ever since. For the first time since then, I saw him in dream last night. It was brief but it was the happiest I’ve felt in a long time. It isn’t the same as having him back, but it’s enough.
The only “someone” that Ive been consistently dreaming is my ex crush. Even after I have fallen for other people, she keeps appearing. Always in these dreams we are flirting and laughing and having butterflies in my stomach. Last August I dreamt about her for 2 weeks straight. It was so weird because when I don’t sleep I forget about her and then when I dream, I am reminded of her again.
i was really close with my grandma, and she passed away earlier this year. i've been listening to this song everyday for like 2 weeks bc it really spoke to me, but i just realized the meaning watching this today. i wonder if i liked the song bc of the meaning, even if i didnt know the meaning.
Lol here’s my story: During the fall semester of my physics 1 class I saw this boy and immediately had a crush on him. Unfortunately we sat on opposite sides of the room so I never got to see him and I soon forgot about him. Cut to spring semester he is in my class again. One day, he either sat next to me or I sat next to him. We sat in those spots pretty much every day. We would talk during the class about the material when asked, but I was so nervous to talk to him in general because I had a crush on him the first day I saw him. By the end of the semester I got his name but that was it. Last summer (I’m sorry this is a long story but bear with me) I randomly found him on Instagram and he followed me back. That night I had a dream about him and when I woke up the next morning and I couldn’t stop thinking about him. So ya, that’s it. It’s crazy how dreams can shape what we want most in life. And if this dude ever happens upon this comment and knows who I am (cause I believe we listen to the same music) please reach out to me because I am too shy. Ok that’s all :)
Discovered this amazing song soon after my first girlfriend and I broke up. It's been a few months now and I've come back to give it a listen after she appeared in my dreams again recently :( break ups suck...
I dont know what makes this song is so 70ish, but it certainly is, and I really love to hear this song on late afternoon. 4pm on my office, looking outside the window at the warm sky. Perfect.
i used to listen to music before i went to bed and when i woke up it would still be on. And you know how spotify will play songs similar when the whole playlist is over. So when i would wake up sometimes this song would be playing. Now every time i hear it i get that dreamy feeling of when you first wake up, when you have no thoughts or emotions, and your at complete peace with yourself. This has been my favorite song ever since the first time i heard it. I could go on and on about how amazing the lyrics and vocals and meaning is but that would never end :)
One weird night, I dreamt of a previous lover, and I felt confused, and empty to realize they weren't in my life anymore. Such a sinking feeling to be exposed to such sensations that are not real, just 'hallucinations.' Anyway, I hadn't found such an accurate song as this one to what I felt when I had that dream. Such rad concept and art
This song reminds me of my uncle Dave who died from throat cancer last year. I just got a Snapchat reminder of me with him at the smokey mountains. Don't take anyone for granted because they're not going to be there for very long.
this song came in my life at the perfect time. it gives me the kinda hurt that you are sort of addicted to. but every time it gets me. this song is a masterpiece in putting lyrics to actual melodies.
Thanks H&M, I didn't buy anything but I got this song✊🏼💁🏻♂️
what h&m had to do with this song
@@nickname3116 probably they heard the song and then found it.
that's how i found dua lipa back in 2015
I thought id be the only one here from H&M haha
Me too
I know a lot of people interpret this song as a love song due to the video, but it's about Amber's close friend dying, and having to come to terms with never seeing them again.
yes^^ thank you for bringing this up. It's quite more resonating with grief than just a breakup
I heard this song for the first time the day I found out someone close to me was terminally ill. It's exactly how I interpreted the lyrics, but I 100% thought it was due to the circumstances when I first heard the song.
That's somehow more beautiful than a traditional love story, it's the love of a friend-ship cut short.
When I first listened to this song, I thought about my brother who passed away 🥺
Yeah, that’s what I got from reading the lyrics. My grandma passed away at the beginning of the year, and this song is exactly how I feel when I see her in my dreams. It’s a beautiful song.
My ex boyfriend died of cancer 2 years ago & I have vivid dreams of him. I just discovered this song and it explains everything I feel.
1:26 that low note rly hits the spot
very Lana Del Rey
@Benjamin Nysæter same!!! Also 3:09 *-*
I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE JAPANESE HOUSE
Not gonna lie I had been waiting like 10 years to hear a song this good.
Same, ngl
FRRRR
Waking up to this song playing in my earphones in middle of the night was the most magical thing I ever felt

This is art.
it better be cause if it were not it would suck!
All songs are. But some are better than others.
Who knew seeing someone you can’t have in a dream portrayed as yours could affect you in such ways that hurt in an all new way
Oh my god-
such unbearable, unending ache
This song feels like the end of summer
That’s kind of funny because I just found this song on the very first day of summer break from school
Its so funny because summer is fucking ending
Oh yes this fffffiiiiillliinggg
I just found out this song a few days from the end of my summer :)
omg yup

I've had this song on repeat for the past year and it never gets old. There is something so dreamy and magical about it.
On reply everyday this week. I just discovered this beautiful song. 😭🥺
my bestfriend and I loved this song, we would listen to it all the time. a few weeks ago she passed away and this song holds even more meaning now. this explains exactly everything that I feel and I never payed attention to the lyrics this closely until now.
This absolutely encapsulates what it’s like to dream about someone you’ve lost. I feel this in my soul - love u michelle

Same thing happened to me before. Wanna see him again 😅

This is beautiful!!
My grandma passed away in September and I recently saw her in my dreams. I found this song the following day, thank you Japanese house!
3 years later and I still listen to this song frequently. Can we appreciate the absolute perfection in your writing and song progression?! Beautiful storytelling 🥺❤️
My dad died over 10 years ago and this song put so much of what i feel into words. Longing, hope,and missing someone isn’t just romantic.
I used to wish for this all the time after my dad died, to see him in a dream. I never did, but recently I saw a random person who looked exactly like him in clothes he always wore, and I think that that was enough.

As a dancer/choreographer, I am so star-struck by the direction and choreography from this.
This song means so much to me. I had a falling out with my best friend and nearly every night during that time I dreamt of her, we would make up and be sobbing, then I would wake up feeling so empty. I can vividly remember listening to this song in my car during Christmas time looking at all the lights I passed by crying and thinking about how much I missed her.

I relate to this but I got the bad ending. We are arch enemies now :(

That is insane!
wow
I also have only nightmares of me getting murdered and killed in my dreams. I didnt get any dream then suddenly I again started getting nightmares for 1 month straight.
Still havent got a happy or calm dream.

This is one of those songs. Its sound transports you to a certain space and time. A bit trancelike. I like it.
Song is truly so beautiful. Like yes it saddens me but it also heals me in a way. Missing you sis 🪽

There is something about the lyrics of this song that hits differently every time I hear it. I just cannot describe how beautiful the music and the lyrics are, they’re too touching. It has been one of my all time favourite. It’s sad and deep yet still calming in a way. I am attached to it somehow.
So I’m not really sure what love feels like, but I guess this was the closest I got to falling in love. He was my classmate in high school. I hated him in the beginning. He wouldn’t stop picking up on me. He’d irritate me every instance he had the chance to. Slowly, without me really noticing my change of feelings towards him, I started finding him endearing instead of intruding. I’d look forward to the next time he’d hide my books or fight with me. I still couldn’t figure out my feelings towards him. But I did know that fighting with him left me restless. It fazed me more than any other thing at school. He’d make me so angry and frustrated but the minute he’d smile, I’d forget everything. I’d tell myself I shouldn’t let him have that kind of a power over my emotions. But he did. It was a roller coaster. When he did care for me, it was as if he could read my mind and pull out just the right trick to calm me. When I was nervous before going on stage for that play, he held my hand and told me I’d be fine. When I was worried about my exam, he looked into my eye and told me I was the smartest girl he knew and that I’d kill it. I swear, looking back, maybe it is the nostalgia, maybe it is my brain tricking me into looking at him through the filter of the sepia toned good memories, but we were perfect for each other. He figured me out like no one else could. We couldn’t get together. By the time we realised we both liked each other, school came to an end and I accepted my college offer from a country on the other side of the globe. There wasn’t any time left and we were smart enough to understand, without the redundancy of using words, that being friends was the wiser choice. He moved on, and has been with a girl who I wish would give me one chance to hate her. She doesn’t. For some reason, my heart has been dangling in limbo, hung up on him, hoping that someday, we will be together. It seems unlikely, if I were to be rational. I haven’t seen him since graduation. It’s been 3 years. We talk, occasionally. But I can see how her connection is fading as the pages of the calender flip through. But in my dreams, we still have the same dynamic. He doesn’t need the obligation of words to figure out what my mind tries to bury within its coves. He’s still there, just as he was 3 years ago in school. My romantic life is as dry as Arizona in August. But the nights when I see him in my dreams, it’s akin to walking in the rain with this song playing in my mind.
It isn’t the same, but it is enough... :)
This whole paragraph was so beautiful it brought me to tears. I know that it's been a year since you left this comment, and things can change, but I promise life moves on to something more meaningful. The heartbreak hurts for a long time, and it feels like it will last forever, but it's important, because it makes you stronger in the end. Sometimes it shows how you need to love yourself and focus on you, and sometimes it just gives you hope for the future. One day you will find yourself happy, whether it's with someone or by yourself, and that's all that will matter in the end. 💛💕💛💕💛
Think it's the most beautiful thing I've ever read. Thanks for sharing
oh my... this made me tear up a bit
Nika wow this was beautiful
hates just negative love
This is so sad and so good at the same time!
This has been my all time favorite song for a while now and it can never get old
I've watched this over and over again. It's so damn good
I love this so much. With every new song and video Amber establishes herself as a true master of her craft and the artistry of music.
I woke up from strange dreams this morning and this song has been stuck in my head ever since. Incredible song writing.
Really loving the 90's flower child, love-longing vibes 💕
ethereal, adj.
1. extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.
I found out that I love writing just listening to you.
dean dong me too. written some of my favorite pieces from listening to her music
omg! same here. . ❤🙆
Right ??? Me too !
"You were the sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision" - I wish someone would say this to me
They seriously need more recognition smh
riGHT i found this song on a random playlist and it sounded cool so i played.

A few months ago my brother passed away. It used to be that when I dreamed, I would dream of a family member dying, and then I would wake up and be relieved that it isn't true. But now I can only get that relief when I dream that he's alive again. Every time it happens, when I wake up, this song is stuck in my head the following morning. It's the most bittersweet thing I've ever experienced, but I know he's where he wants to be.
im gunna be 20% gutted but 80% over the moon for you when you become a huge hit among the public
This is too beautiful to be real
This kind of music doesn't get enough publicity to become a huge hit.
No need, the more people get to experience this the better, Amber makes beautiful music that needs to be shared everywhere. Go for 100% over the moon!!
Why? That's such a selfish outlook.. Maybe question your motives (and don't lie to yourself)
Guy who looks like a hipster in his profile pic makes a very hipster sounding comment.
This was so beautiful to watch. Felt like I was in a dream. I love how everything was in slight slow motion.
I'm in awe with this song and this video it's so beautiful... it's been on repeat, I just keep falling more in love with Amber's music 🌹🌹
Only found this song a few days ago, and I am completely obsessed with it.
all time favorite song. this makes me feel all different kinds of emotions and it’s soothing
paige kalia same!! But I prefer this version of it

I feel silly sometimes, listening to this song and tearing up, but it's painfully relatable. I still have dreams all the time about a person I haven't seen in nearly a decade. I know I'm never going to see them again, but they continue to appear in my dreams. Sometimes, nothing has changed and no time has passed, we're exactly like we used to be. Other times, the dream is about us meeting after all these years. In those dreams, half the time we rebuild our friendship. In the other half, they hate me for falling out of touch. Whichever it is, they all hurt the same when I wake up.
I relate too much to this, it's sad to miss someone that you know there's little to no possibility to re-establish what you used to have.
sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision
You have no idea how much this songs means to me since my friend passed away
love this song, it speak to the heart directly, saw you in a dream, nothing last forever , then i awoke and its so sad
cant believe i havent once got bored of this song (i often get tired of songs fast)
Same
I saw you in a dream
You had stayed the same
You were beckoning me
Said that I had changed
Tried to keep my eyes closed
I want you so bad
Then I awoke and it was so sad
Haven't talked to you in months
And I thought that I might cry
But I'm not that kind of guy
I saw you in a dream
You came to me
You were the sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision
There was no reason, no explanation
The perfect hallucination
All good things come to an end
But I thought that this might last
But you came alive so fast
And when I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
(It isn't the same but it is enough)
I saw you in a dream
Then it came tonight
I wonder if you'll come and visit me again
You take your time to reappear
I'm starting to believe that when I call your name
You just don't hear me anymore
And I know that I shouldn't even try
It's a waste of time
And when I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
(It isn't the same but it is enough)
And when I'm awake I can't switch off
It isn't the same but it is enough
It isn't the same but it is enough
3 years, I can't just stop thinking about you.. I wish I could have you back. 😢
i remember the first time i heard this song i so desperately wanted to relate to it, but now that i do... nothing saddens me more.
Beautiful music video
this song needs to be more popular ITS SO FREAKING GOOD I LOVE IT!!!
I love the breathless quality of this song!!
This act needs more love. There is not one song i dont enjoy. The vocals are always dreamy and calming.
Her and Marika have consumed my life they're absolutely phenomenal and have really changed my life 💓💓
it isn't the same but it is enough... ♡
Sarah Novak my Twitter post rn dawg
Favorite part 💕
For real. Having to be conformitive. But it is enough
this is exactly like a lucid dream, one of the best experiences anyone can go through.
This song reminds me of my middle school best friend. Dreamt of him last week.
Where ever you are now I hope you're happy. And hopefully we meet again someday.
I was looking for something to listen to and I haven't had a song explain my situation so vividly.
I was in grade 1, a new girl took admission named Shivanshee.
She became my bestfriend in no time, we used to eat our lunches alone and gossip and laugh a lot. She was so pretty.
She left the school after grade 5, and went to a different state to study. We only talked twice after that, phones were not so famous back then.
Got to know from someone that she died of blood cancer, when we were in Grade 8. Couldn't believe it, called her parents and they affirmed.
Cried so much, my stomach ached. I so so miss her. I have this thing, when I think about someone a lot, I see them in my dream so whenever I want to see her in my dreams I think whole day about her. Dang she really comes, she looks so beautiful in there. I never got a bestfriend after that. I hope she sees this.
I'm gonna name my kid someday after her.
This is one of my high school teachers daughters and her daughters best friend Died from drowning 💓give her and everyone in that video a thumbs up they deserve it 💓💓
Oh shut up. It's messed up to beg for likes after someone died
Actually I didn't beg for likes I asked everyone to like the video so get your facts right
At first I thought this song was just another heartbreak song. It makes me cry now that I know what it's really about :'( Is that why the video starts and ends with a beach, and why the cover art of Saw You in a Dream EP is a picture of a beach with a lone person (presumably Amber)?
This is crazy because i came from listening to jeff buckley heavily and stumbled upon this.
I still love this video so much, Is still one of my favorites 🤍💧
shoutout to the coffee shop that played this, the coffee was banging and so was this song
I’ve loved this song since the first time I heard it a few years back, but it has a new meaning to me now. My childhood cat passed away two months ago and I’ve been miserable ever since. For the first time since then, I saw him in dream last night. It was brief but it was the happiest I’ve felt in a long time. It isn’t the same as having him back, but it’s enough.
The only “someone” that Ive been consistently dreaming is my ex crush. Even after I have fallen for other people, she keeps appearing.
Always in these dreams we are flirting and laughing and having butterflies in my stomach. Last August I dreamt about her for 2 weeks straight. It was so weird because when I don’t sleep I forget about her and then when I dream, I am reminded of her again.
Thank you for my spotify glitching and playing this after my Playlist constantly
The physical theatre is rly giving me Frantic Assembly , can't wait for you to take over the world
Gemma Stokes lol are you doing gcse drama? we had a frantic assembly workshop
A level drama triggered
The world needs more of you
heard this live first time last week and i cried
This and You Seemed so Happy are my all time favorites
i was really close with my grandma, and she passed away earlier this year. i've been listening to this song everyday for like 2 weeks bc it really spoke to me, but i just realized the meaning watching this today. i wonder if i liked the song bc of the meaning, even if i didnt know the meaning.
The voice, expression, gesture, dance, color tone, & the haze at the end of video aah i'm in love 💙
Lol here’s my story: During the fall semester of my physics 1 class I saw this boy and immediately had a crush on him. Unfortunately we sat on opposite sides of the room so I never got to see him and I soon forgot about him. Cut to spring semester he is in my class again. One day, he either sat next to me or I sat next to him. We sat in those spots pretty much every day. We would talk during the class about the material when asked, but I was so nervous to talk to him in general because I had a crush on him the first day I saw him. By the end of the semester I got his name but that was it. Last summer (I’m sorry this is a long story but bear with me) I randomly found him on Instagram and he followed me back. That night I had a dream about him and when I woke up the next morning and I couldn’t stop thinking about him. So ya, that’s it. It’s crazy how dreams can shape what we want most in life. And if this dude ever happens upon this comment and knows who I am (cause I believe we listen to the same music) please reach out to me because I am too shy. Ok that’s all :)
"It isn't the same but it is enough"
I really needed to listen to this
Discovered this amazing song soon after my first girlfriend and I broke up.
It's been a few months now and I've come back to give it a listen after she appeared in my dreams again recently :( break ups suck...
i cannot explain it how much this song is stuck in my head for months now
i love the Japanese house so much
I dont know what makes this song is so 70ish, but it certainly is, and I really love to hear this song on late afternoon.
4pm on my office, looking outside the window at the warm sky. Perfect.
I cried when I read the other comments here. This song is so sweet...😭❤
i used to listen to music before i went to bed and when i woke up it would still be on. And you know how spotify will play songs similar when the whole playlist is over. So when i would wake up sometimes this song would be playing. Now every time i hear it i get that dreamy feeling of when you first wake up, when you have no thoughts or emotions, and your at complete peace with yourself. This has been my favorite song ever since the first time i heard it. I could go on and on about how amazing the lyrics and vocals and meaning is but that would never end :)
One weird night, I dreamt of a previous lover, and I felt confused, and empty to realize they weren't in my life anymore. Such a sinking feeling to be exposed to such sensations that are not real, just 'hallucinations.' Anyway, I hadn't found such an accurate song as this one to what I felt when I had that dream. Such rad concept and art
Love her voice!!
this song is super important the whole world needs to hear
This song reminds me of my uncle Dave who died from throat cancer last year. I just got a Snapchat reminder of me with him at the smokey mountains. Don't take anyone for granted because they're not going to be there for very long.
This was on my teachers playlist today and I snuck my phone out to try to find it omg
this song came in my life at the perfect time. it gives me the kinda hurt that you are sort of addicted to. but every time it gets me. this song is a masterpiece in putting lyrics to actual melodies.
