    • @Macconator2010

      I think it is because of the money in the Australian music industry in comparison to overseas. Due to less money being invested and made there is less corruption and commercialisation in Australia. There is a standard that everyone has to work towards. Australians know their shit when it comes to music, evident by the fact that an Adelaide crowd once walked out of a Brittany Spears stadium show due to lip-syncing. The audience demands a higher standard, so the artists have to work for it. It shows from the shitty talent shows like X factor and the Voice. Contestants in the overseas versions have been successful in one way or another, in Australia though a winner very rarely has any success what so ever. Only a few names come to mind that have actually made something for themselves. Lol, rant aside, I totally agree. Australian music has a high standard, and that is a standard that everyone involved in Australian music can be proud of. Birds of Tokyo leading from the front. Love these guys, from Violet and Wayside all the way through Broken Bones and Train Wrecks, to When the Night Falls Quiet. Lets hope they keep up the amazing work.

    To me, this is a song about coming into your own, gaining your own responsibilities, and deciding where you belong in the world. It's about moving forward towards the unknown, leaving your past mistakes behind, and knowing, no matter how dark the journey may look, that you must go on. We've got our hopes and dreams as a lantern, and the love of our friends and families fuel those dreams, brightening our path, allowing us to move through uncertainty.
    "In darkness I leave, for a place I've never seen. It's been calling out to me. That is where I should be."

    There is always a subtle feeling to this song that’s always hard to describe when it first hits my ears, but I have found that over the many years I have been listening to this song, it radiates hope. It comes along with an assurance of comfort, even in the darkest of times. I guess you could say it’s what makes this song incomparable to most, because it’s distinct and it is always noticeable wherever you hear it.

    This song reminds me so much of nostalgia feelings of my childhood. Right about 0:46 I can just see myself as a young kid running through small walkways like that when we stayed with my grandma. So many memories... To me this song isnt about pride for young people, rather, its about the stupid and wonderful things we do when we're young.

    this is a song about revolution and the struggles of all past, present and future generations to embrace concepts of enlightenment and tolerance deemed unacceptable by the world around them. The beauty of this song is how much it makes you reflect upon the events and people of the past, from the Haitians and their struggle against slavery, the French revolutionaries who challenged european feudalism, to MLK and Gandhi who fought for sovereignty and racial equality. "Lanterns" reminds all of us of mankind's never-ending battle for equality amidst the norms and beliefs of each generational society whether social, racial, or sexual-orientation based.

    Hey there, birdsoftokyo . I'm originally from Hobart, and I've been living in Canada for the past thirteen years. I've recently attended a Youth Conference in the nation's capital, Ottawa for the Canadian AIDS society, and I met so many different youth who are all affected by HIV, and they are all incredible souls with so many different passions with just one aim: To raise awareness and get better. This song, Lanterns, reminds me of our struggle, where we represent people from the past, present and (hopefully not) the future who have been suffering; many since they were born. As the youth, we are the next generation to get up and raise a voice to what maybe going against us in life, regardless if it is stigma/discrimination, refusal of human rights or even still being labeled "the gay disease".
    I want to thank you guys for giving me hope for the lyrics and the soft, calming music that you have given us. It's helping me gain a voice, and I want to raise it. To be the best I can. You've given me hope.
    Kind regards.
    PS. Love the beards. Keep it going!

    Heard this song today, and without knowing what it was or who was performing it, Ian Kenny's voice was absolutely unmistakable.

    Birds of Tokyo will forever remain one of the most criminally underrated bands ever. Next to Starset, these songs deserve to be heard all across the world.

    Certainly one of the absolute best and yet underrated bands. They deserve much more accolades worldwide than they get. Personally I think they are brilliant

    It always brings a smile to my face to remember the times when this beautiful song plays live. Stadiums spontaneously lit by lanterns of mobile phones like a little night sky.
    I remember seeing it for the first time in Melbourne at Margaret Court when they were a supporting band for Muse.

    Even now, 8 years later, this song is still one of the most iconic songs ever to me. It's impossible to overstate just how much Birds of Tokyo have changed my life. I grew up with this band, and now, seeing them at the Perth Orchestra, I can safely say they are one of the best undiscovered bands out there. The fact that so many people know this song is a testament to how well it is written. Even if you've never heard of Birds, you've probably heard this song. over 8 years the band has changed, their music has with them. But the beauty and emotion of this song will never change. It will always be something I can listen to when I'm down, it's a song that I'll live my whole life with.

    This song is criminally underrated. It's sounds so radiantly transcendent and gives you chills. I feel like it's the anthem for Millennials and young people for its themes of going out into the world and showing your true self without fear.

    This song brings back so many memories most of them are good some are bad. I can't not cry when I hear this song anywhere even in public places. Me and my class back in primary school sang this for graduation. I remember all the fun I had there despite being almost a nightmare to handle on my first 3 years there due to Adhd and not being medicated. I made some great friends there. They made me so happy but now I've lost contact with them all. Even though I could have probably prevented it from happening but I was quiet and shy and never spoke up or asked for any contact info. But this brings back so many great memories. Thank you for making the song and thank you to who ever reads this to take the time to. A student from berwick loge primary school
