    When this song came out it had been 6 months since the death of my little brother. It was a horrible car accident, and I showed up at the scene… The first time I listened to it, I broke down, I listened to it in a loop for hours. I cried and cried, I never listened to it again. Here I am over a year later, and it still so hard to listen to but it’s such a beautiful song.

    I cried like a baby when I heard this song for the first time. I haven’t cried in years, certainly never because of a song I have no real connection to. It speaks to Alt J’s ability to write beautiful music.
    The reason I love these guys so much is that they stay true to their authentic selves when they write; it’s not always an instant fix when you hear a new song but when you take the time to really listen, it ends up pulling you along on these just really brilliant, delightful rides. One of the most important groups of all time in my world. Thanks Alt J.

      "Your look defined my 2009'" just reeks of glorious poetry too though, right? As much of this song does. Almost therapeutic.

      This lyric reminds me of a poem called “Death is nothing at all” by Henry Scotland Holland.

    Hallelujah
    I'm listening to a recording of you sleeping next to me
    A cappella
    I'm listening to you cover Elliot Smith's "Angeles"
    It's these times I'll need if you go
    It's these times I'll need if you go, so
    Get better, my darling
    I know you will
    Get better, my darling
    I know you will
    Get better
    I'm drawn to the motorway
    The cold whoosh of trucks passing
    This nighttime under sodium light
    The orange spread is soul-quietening
    A younger you and a younger me
    Meeting at The Serpentine
    I am yours, you are mine
    Happy birthday
    Staff smuggled in a card I made
    It rests under your pillow
    When out of ICU
    You'll cringe at all the 'I love you's
    The card retired the life of one biro
    At this time, I wanted you to know
    At this time, I wanted you to know
    Get better, my darling
    I hope you will
    Get better, my darling
    I hope you will
    Get better
    I'll start the day with tiramisu
    Raise a spoon to frontline workers
    An underfunded principle
    They risk all to be there for us
    A younger you and a younger me
    Meeting at The Serpentine
    I am yours, you are mine
    You were the baker
    I'll christen this new era
    With the smell of freshly baked bread
    Your Nutella, I'll keep it in the cellar
    You were always a fan of that spread
    Six months on, there's a car crash outside
    The fire brigade using the jaws of life
    No flush at night to sound your return
    I still pretend you're only out of sight
    Front garden bouquet, I threw it at the fire brigade
    I was admonished and told to go back inside
    From the living room window
    I stand and watch the white sheet go
    Over the family car and I close my eyes
    I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
    Smiling at your phone
    I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
    Smiling at your phone
    I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
    Smiling at your phone
    I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room
    Smiling at your phone
    I still pretend
    A younger me, a younger you
    Meeting at The Serpentine
    The beginning of spring, you wore those yellow ripped jeans
    Your look defined my 2009
    Your shyness stoked my boldness
    "Shall we go in?", I smiled
    Your hand warmed walking through the gallery
    I know I will
    (Get better)
    My darling, I know I will

    Dancing and hugging in the kitchen in soft morning light with the love of my life. I am currently relapsing in my eating disorder, whilst trying to navigate our relationship healthily. We’ve been in a dark space since we had a car crash in February, us both going through hell in man ways. We are both sobbing in hope and hurt and warmth.
    Thank you for this.

    The day this was uploaded/ released was the day I found out someone I loved deeply died of an overdose. It has been a difficult time coping. But today I heard this song and for some reason, some how it brought me a smile and feeling comforted. Your voices are so comforting! So thank you for this moment of smiles and good memories.
