Spanish Sahara
Foals Lyrics

So I walked into the haze
And a million dirty waves
Now I see you lying there
Like a lilo losing air, air

Black rocks and the shoreline surf
Still dead summer I cannot bear
And I wipe the sand from my eyes
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here

Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust

Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust

Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
But I'll find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands

So God damn this boiling space
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here

Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust

I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust, it's future dust

A choir of furies in your head
A choir of furies in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

A choir of furies in your head
A choir of furies in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

A choir of furies in your head
A choir of furies in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

The greatest friendship I have ever seen. Finished BTS and LIS last week and I have been beaten over the head with emotions, still reeling trying to process the meaning, morality.
I was lucky enough to play BTS before playing LIS even though I was aware LIS is where most of us started. I ignored this game for years because I was not in the head space to play and when I did mess around with it, I only journeyed a few mins into it, completely unaware what this story held and completely getting the wrong impression what I was in for after deciding to fully play.

I decided to play in chronological order instead of release and that was a combo of pain back to back.

The last set of games to grab a hold of my conscious this profoundly was Mass Effect 1-3 but LIS is in a whole other category because it's realistically relatable.

We all know it's a game but after being immersed in a world where the characters feel like family, growing attached to their personalities is equally enjoyable as losing one.

This song is a flurry of emotion bringing back that final scene we all know so well and dread wishing it could be changed one final time for the better and giving a girl some peace instead of sorrow.

[[ Lol I love the bit about the past. Yes, welcome travelers from the past. ]]

Thank you Dontnod Entertainment for creating this Masterpiece.
I smiled, laughed and cried. This is the Best Game i've ever played in my Life.
There are to less games then "Life Is Strange" Definitly my GOTY 2015, 2016 and so on.
Just a beautiful Game with great atmosphere, voice acting and a lot of feelings. For now i don't even want a Season 2.
I'm happy with it like it is.

"Don't you forget about me, Max Caulfield !"

"NEVER !"

If Chloe lives,Warren dies,David still lives because he stayed in the Dark Room,but Joyce is in heaven with William. Kate is still alive because I believe hospital she was in was outside of town

After reading some comments, I’ve come to realize this song isn’t just a sad song for me. This song is one I listen to when I need to accept life moves on and nothing ever stays the same.

I’ve moved states because of covid, jobs, schooling and other complications. Each time, I’ve had to face life head on and embrace my feelings. This song reminds me of those moments when you’re thinking of all the people and change coming your way. Maybe when you’re sitting in the airport, as you begin your next journey — or when your close ones have all moved away.

Beautiful song. 10/5

@DafPJ literally it's the best ending. Sacrificing 1 person instead of the whole town of thousands? Seems right to me. And if you haven't noticed... Sacrificing Chloe is basically canon.

I remember listening to this song during an extremely dark time, I felt so numb inside that I had to hurt myself and see the pain physically in order to still feel alive. As long as whatever I inflicted on myself was stronger than the suffering I felt inside, I knew I could survive. Interesting to see how different my outlook on life is while listening to the same song, just years later. As much as I hate the memories this song brings back, it helps remind me how strong I’ve gotten and how much I’ve overcome since then

I'm not even kidding when I say I get goosebumps everytime I listen to this song. I have a personal attachment to this song because of the game life is strange. I completed the game on 17th may of 2021, earlier in the same day my dog had passed away so when I chose to let go of Chloe it hit my extra hard for some reason, I guess I related too much. I was only 8 years old when he came into our lives and I was 18 when he passed away. More than half of my life he was my best friend.

LIS is one of the most cliched, stereotypical and awkward games I've ever played and god I loved it. That's why when it was realistic, it really hit me in the guts. Before, you could always travel back in time to get a good ending but here.... here, you have to make a choice. They say you die twice. Once when you're buried and again when someone utters your name for the last time. Rest in peace chloe.

AgarWorstPlayer

@_Unseenhunter _ yes you are right. There is a theory that when young Max left Arcadia Bay (when she and her parents moved out to Seattle) that Max was hospitalized for many years because of headaches and nosebleeds. Because of Max Caulfield's time travel powers rising. Also, we know from Nathan that his headaches and nosebleeds were really heavy and of course from the story we know that Nathan shrugs it off because he thinks they come from his 'illness'. Taking drugs lead Nathan to think that his visions were just that, visions and hallucinations from his coke usage and doctor prescs. Seattle is a much bigger city than Arcadia Bay so could Nathan have been to Seattle hospital for 1 or 2 major operations where the nurse accidentally mixed the potions of Max and Nathan? Maybe the dad of Nathan experimented his time travel potion on other people, because the Prescotts want power no matter if they die. For example, maybe both Nathan and Max got the time travel potion from Nathan's dad, but Max instead got the expermental version (which is more heavy and dangerous) which would explain that Nathan only had visions and Max had more control (for example photo jumping). We will probably never find out if this theory is true unless the writers come out and publish it which I doubt they will. Next Month Max and Chloe return, then comes Life is Strange 3 and Life is Strange remastered, hope they added more ending choices this time

_Unseenhunter _

@AgarWorstPlayer dude... this is nowhere near the canon of the actual events but I fucking love it. I mean the Prescott's being timetravellers may explain their richness and dominance in the community and max accidentally stole their power and allowed the events of lis to happen

AgarWorstPlayer

my new theory is:
- Nathan's dad drugs Nathan to give him time travel powers
- Nathan tells his psychiatrists that a storm is coming and everyone will die because of a teenage girl. Nathan's dad hears this from the psychiatrists. His dad now understands that a girl will destroy Arcadia Bay
- Nathan's dad hires someone that can talk with teenage girls to find out who the time travel girl is that will destroy Arcadia Bay. (Alyssa is a girl that you save 5 times, you don't get a reward in the game. Alyssa probably told Jefferson that Max is 'strange' because she knows exactly when a football or toilet paper will be thrown at her)
- Nathan's dad has a motto: kill anyone who seems a threat. It will happen on Friday. Kill innocent bystanders
- Nathan's dad finds a popular photographer who can do the job and is stronger than a soldier (David who gets defeated)
- Nathan's dad builds a storm bunker

This is a beautiful song but I can’t listen to it without feeling waves of hopelessness washing over me. When Chloe died in my first time playing Life is Strange, I felt like a piece of my soul died as well.

Hi everyone! This is quite possibly one of the best Foals songs ever - and great for Life is strange. However, regarding the meaning of the song,
*Philippakis said: "It has no real relevance to the Spanish Sahara, which none of us have been to. It's kind of an imaginary place - somewhere that's quite nightmarish and ravaged. It's like a desolate landscape and the whole song is like getting over a trauma, but the trauma doesn't go away and it multiplies from one into a bunch of furies which was kinda to do with the GREEK MYTHS OF THE FURIES, who would haunt families and generations."* I hope this helps! Your loving Foals fanatic.. =)

@Liura Baum - Thank you! My boyfriend of 10 years has no appreciation for this obsessive wealth of knowledge in my brain—all allotted to music and medicine. I appreciate those who cherish and genuinely love all things music.

" It's like a desolate landscape and the whole song is like getting over a trauma," Oh my God so is this why Dontnod chose this song for the Chloe ending in LiS? :( Now I get it and I'm crying again. goddamit

@Kyle Lussier No, you're right. I'm a big Fallout fan and I was in denial about how bad of a game Fallout 4 is. I played Witcher 3 and it's way better.

So I walked into the haze
And a million dirty ways
Now I see you lying there
Like a lie low losing air, air
Black rocks and shoreline sand
Still that summer I cannot bare
And I wipe the sand of my arms
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
Though I find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands
So goddamn this boiling space
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am

I heard it in 2013. It's the magnum opus of my anxiety. Every time I feel it creeping, I try to forget the horror here. Thank you, Foals, for this masterpiece.

This is one of the best songs ever written. It just builds up and then explodes and then it calms you down again. An emotional rollercoaster. Can't wait to hear it live.

Just watched my gf through her first walkthrough since I just introduced her into gaming.
She cried so many times, but when she sacrificed Chloe she was crying, boogers and all, asking me how could I do this to her, honestly I only know this song for the game and that game, since years ago, I will never forget.

Gabor

2y↑21

Couldn't sacrifice Chloe on the first instance. I'd sacrifice a whole county if it meant she didn't have to die alone, thinking nobody loved her, in a dirty restroom for no real reason. (Especially after Before the Storm - god damn this girl went through hell a couple of times.)

But I did play that ending as well. And it is brilliant. It broke my heart in half a minute.

And I'm glad, I listen to this song whenever I'm a bit down for whatever reason.

I played through LiS twice. I honestly think sacrificing Chloe is a better option gameplay wise. It’s more of an actual ending. Also, I don’t think I would be able to live with myself after knowing I was partially responsible for the death of a whole city (including my family) and I think that Chloe felt the same way, that’s why she wanted Max to sacrifice her. I will say, I cried SO MUCH at Chloe’s funeral.

@`` I know- I meant I myself couldn’t live with killing my family, and i don’t think chloe could either, which is why she wanted max to sacrifice her instead.

@Dinosaur Ruler totally, I didn't want to kill every single person in the town. But I couldnt make myself sacrifice chloe. I just sacrificed the whole town for her. And I'm not regretting my decision.

I honestly agree but its so hard to bring myself to sacrifice Chloe. I just love her sm

When I'm mad or sad. It calms me down.... But when I'm just fine, it makes me sad. Just the whole vibe of the song. Every note played and word said digs me deeper into a state that I feel sad but I am really happy. It's joy. The song is great. For some reason it reminds me of such great heights by the postal service. They are very different songs.
