i love how pompeii has always been a melancholy song because of the text but now the effect is double because the times when you used to listen to this have gone by as well
For me it was when I heard "Things we lost in the fire" on the radio. I was never a fan of Pompeii when it was first released and it was kinda overplayed at that time too. Now I think the song is pretty okay.😅😅
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like you've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settled around us And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like you've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? Eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh Oh, where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh, oh, where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

Charlie Barnes is their touring guitarist (he's the one with the one keyboard and the drum thats used in this song) but this song doesn't need him on the guitar so it's not used.

Discovered Bastille quite by accident......caught this performance on Sky. I've been hooked ever since!! This actually makes me cry.
For me it was when I heard "Things we lost in the fire" on the radio.
I was never a fan of Pompeii when it was first released and it was kinda overplayed at that time too.
Now I think the song is pretty okay.😅😅
Such a classic, damn this song has and always will be good
When a band proposing new music came down. Then, Imagine Dragons set all down to the drain. THIS IS A FREAKING GOOD SONG!
still incredible!
This song (and all the others) just gets better every time I hear it
These types of vocal sections always make music 100% better
So refreshing to get to listen to this again after so long 🥰
After all this time the song and lyrics still hit
Oh 😍 they're so talented 💗

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh, oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-oh

Amo essa música
A band without guitarist, quite unusual, but really unique and wonderful!
Charlie Barnes is their touring guitarist (he's the one with the one keyboard and the drum thats used in this song) but this song doesn't need him on the guitar so it's not used.
Damn, Woody's got some spin moves
