White Lies - Farewell to the Fairground

Title - Farewell to the Fairground
Album - To Lose My Life...
Artist - White Lies
Year - 2008
Lyrics:
The light still in our eyes
We're leaving this old fairground behind
It's a dream that's growing cold
The circus never dies
The act forever haunts these skies
I know we cannot stay
Farewell to the fairground
These rides aren't working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw
This place used to gleam
I'd see it in my hopeful dreams
Now I have to get away
We move towards the stars
And all that we touch becomes ours
Let's keep warm 'til it's day
Farewell to the fairground
These rides aren't working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw
We'll head south just hold my hand now
I feel like I'm casting off my clothes
And I'm running through the snow towards the sunset
And I'm always with you
Keep on running
Keep keep on running
There's no place like home
There's no place like home

This song never got the appreciation it deserved😭❤️

[@soupcool1858]

This song like old expensive wine - even better with each year. With each year it becomes more and more relevant in my life❤‍🔥

[@1993Kezabell]

I can't quite believe that this song is 13 years old!!! Love it just as much now as I did back then, if not more.

[@rvega8038]

i remember being 19 from england and boarding the plane to canada for the last time without looking back to start a new era. this song rings true to that time, what a fucking choon man

[@RoxxaneDuck007]

your a fucking hero buddy

[@uncovidvaxxforthestrongand3582]

where in canada did you move to? the only good thing about canada is that its next door to the united states. lmao i live in a city in canada where people accidently stumble upon after driving and driving and driving lmao.

[@Raskalica]

beautifully put, "every note vibrates with longing", that's exactly it, it almost hurts to listen to it.

[@Bassdriver]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my entire 43 years long life. Every sound, every note vibrates with longing. And longing is what I feel now.
Yet another song for the "why wasn't that me who wrote this one" file.

Anyone recognize this from Forza Horizon?

[@alinacalm]

No

[@capitaoqueiroz942]

Yes

[@dawnslayer]

i've been replaying Horizon 1 lately. very nostalgic, but kind of upset that I had to start a new save. in any case this was one of my favorite songs from the game (others being by Nero) and it brought back a ton of memories.. just wish the servers were still fully operational.

[@s7c841]

I've never made the connection before, but this is very Hot Fuss-esque.
