    not killed to be made into taxidermy. Typically the animals die of natural causes before being handed over to the taxidermists.

    LYRICS :
    are you thinking
    is she close
    do you struggle with umbrellas
    are you leaving
    are you home
    have you timed this badly
    have we met before
    are you staying
    did you fall
    can you count to ten in German
    can you whisper
    can you lie
    did you design your own website
    have we met before
    are you sleeping
    are you wise
    what can you see from your window
    are you hungry
    are you calm
    are you on a great adventure
    have we met before
    are you reading
    did you choose
    can you see into the future
    are you listening
    are you scared
    will you know it when you see it
    have we met before

    This song and its lyrics always made me think of The Little Prince :
    "They (the grown-ups) never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand: "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him (...).
    But certainly, for us who understand life, figures are a matter of indifference".
    So now tell me, do you struggle with umbrellas ? Can you count to ten in German ? What can you see from your window ?

    Tom Rosenthal songs were the only one that i'd sing in the car when I was driving with my ex girlfriend. She bought all of his albums and would make them play each time i'd be the designated driver, she said the ride would be 10x times better. Even tho a lot of his songs were sad, they would make our ride full of love and hapiness. Since we left eachother, his songs became 10x better. Each time i'm now listening to his songs, i feel love, sadness, hapiness and nostalgy all at once. Thanks Tom for making me feel alive, and thanks for everyone here in this comment section for helping him to continue being who he is, an awesome guy, with an awesome talent and an awesome heart. 💗

  • @duykhanh9174

    I just heard on Spotify yesterday and gave me goosebumps. The lyrics give off a book story, from their first meet to their next meet again. I didnt watch the mv at that time yet so there was a lot made up in my mind. Now I watch this and realize it's 1000 more poetic vibe, two figures that at first are two living beings, meeting by chance and clumsily catching each other attention go like "do you struggle with umbrellas", "timed this badly", or some awkward conversations as "can you count to ten in german", "can you whisper", "did you design your website"... These are all the beginning of something blossom and youthful. Those two animals went on dates, "are you calm" when staring into the sunset, "on a great adventure" flying above the golden bridge, so close to each other that they asked "have we met before" lying on the meadow looking up to stars.
    But then, Squirrel did something strange, "are you reading" when not reading the warning sign, "did you choose" question whether that's what it chose, to cross the street without looking around, or did Squirrel know how it would go "Can you see into the future". "Are you listening", "Are you scared", Owl rushing to Squirrel but they werent scared. They knew it when they faced the car, Squirrel knew the future "will you know it when you see it".
    So after that, they became figures, for taxidermy animals. Go back to the start of the video, have they met before? "Have we met before?" they asked again on the last video as they closed toward the other. Well the whole story is about their past lives, they have met before, and now they are at it again

    @mr_earwig6477 5 років тому +15

    "Are you scared?" (at 2:21) - the way the light hits the owl as they both realize what's about to happen is tragic and quite poignant. THIS is why Tom's music is so great - because when he makes something, he knows how to make it memorable. Keep being you, Tom.

    This song makes me cry because of the situation I’m in. I fell in love with my best friend in our early teens and they liked me too. But immaturity and miscommunication broke our friendship. After nearly 5 years and both in the same friend group we see each other more regularly than before. We know so much about each other yet ask questions in a shy way. People who know us see it too, and many people have predicted us being together in the future.
    I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving him, and I'm glad in a strange way. He deserves so much love. And I’m at peace with the idea that he doesn’t see me the same. Love is a funny thing.

    I always find myself asking: "have i met you before?", when listening to any of your songs. And I feel that is symbolic of just how comforting and special your music is... Familiar yet perfectly executed to be new and refreshing, like the perfect hug from someone you just met. For sure, one of my favourite artists.
