    the fact that Dan Smith wrote a song about his parents meeting and falling in love in Durban is so heartwarming

    I know this sounds stupid but I honestly don't understand how anyone can not like this band. They're music is good for every occasion, it just fits. They're soothing, yet amazing and exhilarating at the same time, it's the kind of music that makes me want to travel the world, explore do shit with my life.

      “Their!”
      “Doesn’t!”
      **Leaves**
      (I honestly agree, though)

      Yeah, it does sound stupid. People have different tastes. Get over it. Nothing more annoying than a people asking "How can someone dislike something I LIKE?!!!"

    I've been a big fan of Bastille for many years and I've lived in Durban almost my whole life, yet i just discovered this song today. I got goosebumps right now as i was listening to it. So beautiful

    Best part 3:25 when the word 'skies' starts bouncing around from ear to ear. This music takes me places.

    I love when songs are so relatable but still remain fully understood by only a certain group of people such as this one. It makes the music feel more personalised but still unifying.

    All that I've got to be thankful for
    All that I've got to be thankful for
    In the heat, try to love these streets
    In this town, it all went down
    Our chromosomes in sepia tones
    In my mind, in my mind
    Where you lead your lives
    Before from our small island
    Brought right back to these shores
    To these shores, to these shores
    It’s alive, It’s alive
    When I see it through your eyes
    It’s alive, It’s alive
    Now I understand your lives
    When you take me there
    You show me the city
    I see it through your eyes
    When you take me there
    We drive through the city
    Beneath the Durban Skies
    Oh oh oh.
    All that I've got to be thankful for
    On the day you made your vows
    The heaven’s opened, rain poured down
    It poured down
    Down, down
    Grey and brown, the seventies
    It suits you wore, and the ones you loved
    Were so young, were so young,
    Lord, you were so young
    It’s alive, It’s alive
    When I see it through your eyes
    It’s alive, It’s alive
    Now I understand your lives
    When you take me there
    You show me the city
    I see it through your eyes
    When you take me there
    We drive through the city
    Beneath the Durban Skies
    Oh oh oh.
    All that I've got to be thankful for
    Oh, all that I've got to be thankful for
    All that I've got to be thankful for
    It’s alive, It’s alive
    When I see it through your eyes
    It’s alive, It’s alive
    Now I understand your lives
    When you take me there
    You show me the city
    I see it through your eyes
    When you take me there
    We drive through the city
    Beneath the Durban Skies
    When you take me there, ooh
    When you take me there
    It’s alive, It’s alive
    When you take me there
    It's alive, It's alive

    "Grey and brown, the seventies". One of the most dumbest lyrics I've ever heard. I need some Metallica to clean out my ears. Even "St. Anger" is better than this pathetic little excuse for a song. I wish this song was buried deep in the ocean where nobody could ever hear it again. Yes, it's really that bad.
