maybe you could hurt me
Hurt me just a little
To help me ease the pain
Or maybe you could kill me
One to the back of the head
Just leave me in the rain
Or what if we decided
Instead we’d hold each other
For a little while
But maybe forever

And maybe we’d be the fifty percent
That didn’t quite make it
Or maybe we could have it all
Twenty kids and a picket
And maybe..

We could live near the beach
In a tall, tall mountain
Johnson and sea grass
Floating like ribbons
Seagulls would fly overhead
We would dance to our music
We would worry about nothing
We have time for that when we’re dead.

Maybe it’s a little
Silly fantasy of mine
But we could build our home
In the thickets and vines
No one around to bother us
No one to bring us harm
Just me and our beach home
And you to keep me warm..
oh..

We could live near the beach
In a tall, tall mountain
Johnson and sea grass
Floating like ribbons
Seagulls would fly overhead
We would dance to our music
We would worry about nothing
We have time for that when we’re dead.

Is it
So
Much to ask
For a ending that isn’t so bitter
As the last?
Is it
Too
Hard
To maintain something like this with getting bored?

not if we live near the beach
In a tall, tall mountain
Johnson and sea grass
Floating like ribbons
Seagulls would fly overhead
We would dance to our music
We would worry about nothing
We have time for that when we’re dead.

One night I was listening to random flatsound songs as I usually do when I get sad and I came across this one. I was never a fan of instrumental songs but as soon as this one started playing I started crying. It felt like a warm hug, like someone was telling me that everything's gonna be fine eventually. I've been struggling with loneliness for a long time. I never found somebody that truly understands me or that cares for me as much as I care for others. And I've been crying a lot about it lately. This song is my happy place now. Thank you mitch.

This feels sad, but a beautiful kind of sad. Like a fading melancholic memory of a happier previous life. In it I’m surrounded by purely innocent love and bliss and a deep desire for it to never end. This life has infinite possibilities of miracles and precious moments. Sometimes I can’t help think of how pointless it all is. Nevertheless I will always be grateful for the here and now.

Always wanted to live near the sea.on a cliff.overlooking the ocean.feeling the breeze standing near the window.dancing to the waves and howling with the sea's roar in a storm.

While I was listening to this, is randomly got me thinking. Thinking about my life. Thinking about how I’m not doing much with it. Thinking about how my friends and family will be sad after I die. Thinking about how nothing with really change after I die. How life will just go back to normal eventually after all of the grief and heartbreak and me being gone. I know this has nothing to do with the song but it just makes me feel sad. It feels like nostalgia even tho this is my first time listening to this song. It some how brings out my younger memories and gets me thinking about my death. It’s a sad topic, I know, but I still think this song is beautiful. It’s a great song and I hope the artist can get more recognition.

I listened to this song on the flight home from visiting my family on the other side of the world. The lights were dim, most passengers were asleep, stewardesses were whispering, had about thirteen hours of jetlag on me. Amazing experience. Such a beautiful song <3

I saved my friend’s life last night and I’m still a kid. I found out some girls that I grew up with got suspended for drugs. They’re still kids too. I haven’t been ok lately but I’ll get through it so will you.

Thank you Mitch for being a cozy peace of mind 💙

this is the most quiet and predictable song i’ve ever heard. no surprising words or crashing beats. just something soft to ease your mind. like a warm fleecy blanket blocking out all of the world.

At one time
She loved me

She wanted to take me to the beach
And hold hands with me
And now
She doesn’t even want to talk to me
That hurts

it's my first time listening to this beautiful song, I'm making a playlist for my bf with songs that remind me of him, and this one is definitely the one that fits the most, It's the one that reminds me of the day I realized that I loved him, I know it's silly to say that here, we're young and we have a lot of dreams, I want our first trip together to be somewhere with a beach

Actually Lollypop

4y↑8

This song reminds me of my favorite game, Nier: Automata. That is a good thing.

It's like looking back on memories, realizing all the sadness and pain you went through was, ultimately, for nothing. But also remembering those few precious memories that came out of that time.

So, a mix of sadness, meaninglessness, but somehow hope. Either way, it's beautiful.💙

danika cruz

I always dream about living near the beach, somewhere alone. I’ve wanted to have a space where I could find peace. But when my ex became part of my life I started to picture our future together. Living near the beach while drinking coffee was one of them . Today it’s been four months since we lost contact and it still hurts but i’m happier now. This song really helped me it feels like a hug when i’m in the darkness, it feels like waking up and the sun was hitting ur face, and it feels like being glad that I wake up again to find something that makes me happy.

I hear I'm alone. I get tears from remembering all those beautiful moments that pass next to wonderful people, many of whom I was just a shooting star. thinking everything could have been better. I am alone in the comfort that gives me the darkness of my room and the bath of memories that brings me this beautiful passion

Everytime i listen to this song, i cant help but think about my friend that ive been secretly in love with for the past 3 years. I wanna move in with him and live near the beach, who knows if we will move in together since he wants to go to our home country to study. I just hope we don't lose contact.

It’s hard to be alone

Ben

sometimes you feel like you’ve made such a huge mistake that you’ll never be able to stop the slow spiral downward. you sit alone and cry for all the times you would have done things differently or wishing those around you had made better choices. there’s someone you miss dearly and would do anything in the world to bring them back but the more time that passes the more you realize the bitter reality you’ve been left with is all you’ve got. you want to run away to a place that reminds you of the way things used to be. that’s what this song feels like to me.

Hace tan solo horas me enteré de que mi abuela tiene un cáncer terminal contra el que ya nada se puede hacer. Cuando recibí la noticia hice todo por mantener mis lágrimas, pero como última escapatoria no pude hacer más que encerrarme en el baño y llorar hasta que mis ojos se secaran. Su sueño era mudarnos todos hacia una provincia más tranquila, donde ella podría vivir más comoda y relajada sin las preocupaciones de una casa cercana a la capital de mi país. Ahora no sé qué hacer, ella aún no lo sabe y no creo poder superar su rostro al enterarse de que sus planes y sueños de los últimos años no se podrán cumplir... si tan solo hubiese tenido unos años más...

Te amo, abuela. Espero que mejores.

I don’t want wonderful people. I’m learning to live with myself. I will be, my wonderful people.

For now, I need to learn to let go.
Of what I can’t love of me
Things I couldn’t forgive of me
and others who deserve more.
