Listener - Falling In Love With Glaciers Lyrics

🙏🏻♥️

Buffered for a commercial then again for the video. Fuck you. Youtube do you pay this band?

So many years later... and this song still chokes me up every time.

Hey, Hobo Johnson called. He asked if you could give him some pointers on how to make music that doesn't make him sound like a shallow asshat.

i like the passion but i don't understand a thing about the song

This is the beginning
The start of the ending
You can’t die from a broken heart 💔

He’s MY Pablo Escobar.... what a cute, sad, and intelligent song...😭🖤💔

This is timeless.

I met a shell of a mountain who knew she was finished
Claimed she grew up from a grain of sand
With every year wider she bloomed a little bit longer
To the roof of the sky with outstretched hands
She made friends with the sun, shared enemies with no one
Counted weeks like she should of counted days
And swallowed handfuls of night so she could sleep tight
And turn her thoughts from its stone cold ways
And this was the beginning, the start of the ending
You can't die from a broken heart
But from the time the sun rose
To the space where it fell away
She would love, and it wouldn't take part
And every every day she would echo echo
In every single way she should let go let go
But it had her in its sights cupids icy arrows
But so, so what
So she caught every one with her heart like it was her duty
It walked the wrong wrong way down her one way plan
She was surrounded by forests, rivers and beauty
Until that glacier froze over the land
And so she blamed herself hated her wealth
She was born at too young of an age
And every night her dreams were touched by witches fingers
Until her heart was caged.
With every morning spent not caring if she cares or not
Sleeping in the melt and mud, waiting for the earth to rot
Burying herself alive she scrapes the hole that it left open
Empty as her very heart, that mountain was all broken
All broken, that mountain was all broken
Now I can see that her
Her blood's red and she's got feelings
And they always get spilled both without thinking
Without thinking, without thinking,
Without thinking, I can see that her
Her blood's red and she's got feelings
And they always get spilled both without thinking
Without thinking, they weren't thinking,
Without thinking, I can see that her
Her blood's red and she's got feelings
And they always get spilled both without thinking
Without thinking, I wasn't thinking,
Without thinking, I can see that our
Our blood's red and we got feelings
And we always spill both bloods without thinking
Without thinking, what were we thinking,
We weren't thinking, what were we thinking of

The chariot song with him is sooooo good.

<3 Straight to the feels <3

This is the type of band I could see Anthony Bourdain palling around with #rip

⚘⚘🤘

Didnt know the pringles guy made music

AYE MELLO SQUAD REPRESENT

just seen you guys in wichita at riverfest. You are Kickass!

I saw listener at a small bar in tempe arizona and he was litterly hitting a washing machine with a bat lol. This is a little more production but his lyrics are so unique . a true individual.

May 2018. Still listening.

Is this the singer from mewithoutyou?

Dan Smith is a god.

God bless you, Dan.

Is that officer doofy

2017 still listening

2018. Still here. 😂

Amazing!

fckin broad horizons

"You can't die from a broken Hooart."

Tell that to Johnny Cash

@PsykedAlex We know. He would love and she wouldn't take pooart.

Listener is better than all your petty hipster post hardcore bands so don't come onto here with your shade go back to your non mainstream dog shit

this has been on replay for dayz now

art in motion

Seeing them live in California was something else, like.. amazing!

Chomo stash strong

how does anyone take this shit seriously

John Straszewski How does anyone take a cowboys fan seriously, lmao.

OOOH GOT 'EM

11 months ago I was crying over this song. Today, I still miss her.

Ghosts never go away, at least we have feelings. I think it's better this way.

Fernando Olmedo
sad truth is... you'll always miss her

who is "her"?

hope your heart has mended a bit

If it helps, I'm pretty sure I found my soul mate a few weeks ago after leaving someone I'd been with for 2 years. There's Hope out there.

talented

wish i found you guys five years ago, this is amazing :c

do they have any more song like this one

+Michael Mendoza yes, several. One you should check out is Wooden Heart.

yeah wooden heart is my fave poem, falling in love with glaciers second fave poem

Seatbelt Hands is great

Michael Mendoza wooden heart

I'm fucking crying over here.

where's bass and drums mister

+Marcos Nila This was back when they were artistic and not a garage band yet.

not to mention there are drums....and bass isnt needed, this is simply a poem put to simple and beautiful acoustic "campfire" music

beautiful incorporation of the mellophone. you don't see that shit often

If I ever were able to put as much of my heart and soul into one single piece of art as Dan Smith puts into every one of his songs and performances, I swear I'd be content the rest of my days

SOOOO MUCH YESSSSS

This dirty unaesthetic balded guy destroyed the whole song experience. Like wtf is he wearing? Did nobody controle his outfit before shooting the video?

while I do disagree, this is hilarious.

If this ruined the song for you then you aren't listening hard enough

this the type of dude who listens to lil pump because his friends listen to him

mnewithouyuo fans

this is great ....and original....man I love it

This band has so much feeling. Like every song just gets to my emotions.

Aren't we all obsessed with the Never-Ending Story and trying live it? Great song.

I'm slowly falling more and more in love with this band... The brass makes it stand out from Being As An Ocean and La Dispute and Touche Amore... 

Where do you get a trumpet like that

That's a mellophone! Its usually used in marching band

This song is incredible. Where has it been filmed?

The video was filmed in a local church in Gary, Indiana. The City Methodist Church has been in quiet a lot of movies and shows including "Nightmare on Elm," "Transformers" and recent the Netflix series Sense8.

Nice voice

muy buenas canciones .. bendiciones

Mewithoutyou is better

They're.. also great

You're wrong

I only agree with this because I've been listening to mewithoutyou for over 10 years, have seen them multiple times live. I only recently came across listener and I can not stop listening to them, they are fucking amazing! But it's hard to say a band that's been such a huge part of my life like mewithoutyou isn't better. Both bands are beautiful and great in their own ways. But I can't wait to see listener in just a few days! Been looking forward to it for a while now

s.O. o.R.i.g.i.n.A.l.

Hotel Books is better.

@Mike Rat Your comments don't make any sense dude. Just quit.

@Mike Rat Listener were around long before Hotel Books you edjit 

Hotel brooks is for teenies who want to seem deep

+SickMike07 exactly. Hotel Books has nothing on Listener.

Falling in love with glaciers because of Parkinson's.

Tourette's.

This piece has haunted me for years. Glad to see more on the tube. Super glad you're now on iTunes.

this band is amazing. jesus the imagery 

Where was this filmed?

@Stevie Deale this is in gary Indiana

That's pretty rad, I think. I love church interiors.

I really like this, but for some reason I can't get over the way how towards the middle of the song he begins to sound like a southern politician giving a very passionate speech. 

I can't imagine how difficult it would be to match the professional recording with the video. I'm sure it's hard for musicians, but spoken word is a little more loose on rhythm. Anyway, I'm a new fan and I love your work. You rock guys!

listener has insipired me to start a spoken word / acoustic project called Moral Compass

what do you meaaaaaaaaan

got any songs?

findanewgoddd He inspired much of my vocal style for my hardcore band :3 <3

As long as you all use it as inspiration rather than a carbon copy, I'm cool with it.

I'm so glad i found them. This song is really getting into me

This hits me everytime I listen to this track.

Best song ever? Maybe.

they all really let themselves go it makes me kinda sad

i miss the old listener they ll

Dude same here. You should check out MeWithoutYou if you haven't. They're similar to this, and the chariot introduced me to them too :p

listener literally saved my marriage

check out my videos

I love the chariot and heavy music like that. But the chariot introduced me to this band and I gotta say its absolutely amazing I've never heard anything like it and I'm in love

I love individuals, and loathe people.. it takes entirely too long for people to grow up, and gratification halts people. for someone who lyrically has passion to teach, while maybe seeking personal solace, sort of like Listener, then I feel the viewer should at least respect the sincerity. That guy who blabbed about "only hipsters blabla" deserves scorn to the point of self reflection. People avoid it, and find penchants to be a saviour, though it's positively mindless distraction to some..

Judgment? I think constructive criticism is much more needed in this world than judgment,They are quite different.
"Some" people latch on to sexual appeal in music,you shouldn't throw us all in the same box. It's the same as learning the difference between people are racist pieces of shit and some people are racist pieces of shit.We are not all the same and we shouldn't be expected to be the same either. We shouldn't be held accountable for others actions either. Odd,I rather like your thoughts.

You've got to be a liar. either to the world or yourself.. judgment is not acceptable? its childish or immature? people latch on to sexual appeal in music. it started with moronic girls in love with the Beatles.. that's an indication of a lack of concern in society for our fellow people, to let them go crazy trying to be anything but what they are naturally. You're not listening, so do as you pretend you must. I'll be cynical and realize you might just be plain.

"Typical anybody"? i'll have you know I very much enjoy a wide assortment of music and one less band is no better than a more well known and vice versa. It's a matter of preference and disrespecting someone over what they listen to is childish and immature. Immoral? by who's standards? try to think outside of your tiny little world. Fame wears off and it doesn't make good music,it doesn't make bad music either. People make good music and it is people who make meaningless garbage.

You're just the typical anybody who tries to be musically open. Music that can accompany immoral behaviour due to the lyrical content should always be shit on.. Emerson Lake and Palmer was better than any of that "I'm not uncool I SWEAR!!!!!" bullshit, and I'd be fine to hear THAT on the rock stations.. but no, people need garbage... if you knew about Against Me! though, you'd hear how awful it is in comparisson, and realize where I came from is real. Rancid.

Comment 2: by your standard of "music" ozzy osbourne,sabath,iron maiden and so on have no value in your true music world based on the single fact that a specific amount of people praise them and appreciate their music. You are what's wrong with todays music.

So basically a band without passion that creates music is not music?I agree with you there,without passion,that band is just a mix of words without meaning but you're wrong about listener. His passion for singing and making music is more obvious than most bands i've ever listened to and the worth of the band shouldn't be judged by how many fans they have.It should be judged for it's meaning and overall feel when you hear them.To you famous=not music,so wouldnt elvis,johnnycash etc. be non-music?

sagapaw toso poly vlimataki mu. k esy dn me pisteueis....

people who judge others for thinking too hard bother me.. popularity is platitude... very simply put. fuck your positive note, people arent worth pleasing, because the deluded pressure they put on human beings as though they were royalty or some type of champion... a real good band is usually a visceral need to pursue passion, not acclaim. giving in to the music industry is giving up on music... having to play any part other than your instrumentation is not MUSIC. its entertainment - gross

What happened to the version with the girl in it?

Ruined? so popularity increase = ruination? You two fuckwits need to get your heads out of your asses.
Isn't it a good thing that a band gets more support? support means more content and it makes everyone in the band feel more appreciated.

This is the shittiest mindset ever. "True fans" should show some fucking respect to the artist and be happy theres some fame and some money for true artists out there so they can afford to make records and go on tour.

Dude he started Listener back in like the early 2000s...

You do realize Dan Smith has been making music under the name Listener since like 2002, right?

Don't be a whiney little hipster. Who cares that more people know him? You should be happy for him that he's gaining a bigger fanbase. But I guess his success isn't as important as your ability to tell your friends, if you have any, that you listen to stuff that relatively few people know. As long as he stays awesome, anyone can listen to him. Go fuck yourself.
I bid thee farewell.

since you had nothing positive to contribute, I'll guess now that the new fans care more than you.. I realized this same fact with Against Me! in about 2004.. you probably fucked that up for me, so don't even go there! everything is made to be ruined eventually.

If I tried to make a tab for this song, would anyone be interested?

"What were we thinking" - Everytime he says that I think of the world and how things are so bad for some people where others have too much...

hes a poet

you worrying about how pretentious other people are is so pretentious of you. so unbased.

"True fans," you could not possibly sound more pretentious.

WARNING!
Do not do your blablabla here. Listen and be quiet.

Thanks.

Nah. Let's be completely honest here - people who discover little-known bands that later become big usually feel special because they recognized the talent before others.

Some of these people - not all - then start publicly complaining about the band getting big in order to subtly draw attention to the fact that they admired the band first. In doing so, they're trying to establish superiority over later fans.

It's all very counter-intuitive and immature, but people continue to do it anyway.

He deserves more fans, and more people need to hear his lyrics.

All I did was state a concern. I said absolutely nothing about my own opinions. Now get the fuck away from my comment and keep your petty thoughts locked in your pretentious head you bastardized hick faggot.

I just found out about this band and I just love what I have from them this far. I can't find a version of "Not waving, drowning" that isn't a capella though. Is there a whole version of this album with instruments to back up these amazing poems?
