MrHappyJuice doesnt that make him so special ;) that man can be really glad actually .. his fans are true fans and people who in fact understand what hes trying to say .. or just appreciate his music and work lol :)
Every time I listen to this song, I hear something new. It's one of the most beautiful, poignant songs I've ever heard. I remember when this happened :( The lengths someone will go to, in search of a better life here... "In the houses they're turning on lights, putting blindfolds over their eyes, getting ready for another day at work. This illusion I'm living in, makes no sense to me". It's so true. We're born into privilege here and I believe it's our duty to do something with that privilege, whatever way we can.
I've only just found out about will Varley and absolutely love him! So much depth to all the lyrics, then you read the comments and you find a link to a news article and find a whole other layer. The thought that went into making this video too. Genius absolute genius.
Went to see him live and he explains this song is about a story in the news a while back in which a young man fell from the bottom of a plane as it came to land on Heathrow airport, it was believed he was looking for a safer country, it was supposedly his birthday and all he had was a pound coin in his pocket
This was literally a news story www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/apr/25/man-street-stowaway-fell-plane. Will read it and was inspired, changes the whole dynamic of the song....
Loved this song when I first heard it, but appreciate it so much more after hearing Will explain the background behind it. Thanks for speaking up for the voiceless, Will, and for sharing your talents with the world! California awaits your arrival.
Couldn't believe my luck when I found out Will was supporting the Dead South at Brixton Academy. Two of my favourite acts!! So looked forward to it. Had no idea support acts had to put up with so many ignorant assholes in the audience. Talking drunken shit!! Constantly!! Will, and The Noble Jacks , trancended. They were both excellent.
still think he is one of the most underrated artists out there. he deserves more recognition, so much better than most of the shit in the charts.

We have started falling. We will rise soon....
Is it just me or does he sound like Marcus Mumford from Mumford and Sons? Both amazing mind
This the same kid from King for a King? Is it his son?
Can I have my ball bearing back please?
Kojima brought me here
Dust= mol.
Love the song, and the idea of the video is amazing, but not well executed, I'm sorry :/
Can't agree Anton. The video is so understated it's subterranean. That was kind of the point. However, we are agreed it is a wonderful song.
