Gorgeous, gilded songwriting, Nick Wilson’s work is worth aligning next to Bon Iver or Ben Howard, with elements of Phoebe Bridgers’ emotional heft in there, too. As Nick puts it, he’s infatuated by the craft of songwriting. “The lovely thing about it,” he insists, “is that you can have these little pockets of space to play around in, but then you can do things really quickly off the back of them because they’re not quite tied in together. They can be separate things.”
Miles Apart
Nick Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rain begins to fall
And the rain begins to fall
Would you still be there standing next to me
With our backs against the wall
With our backs against the wall
But darling, when the sky is dark
Even when we're miles apart
I'll still hold you close
Whenever I walk too far
You'll still be my home
Honey, there's no easy part
No matter what you're told
But even when we're miles apart
I'll still hold you close
For all the times we've had our differences
And the tears began to fall
And the tears began to fall
We've always made it to the final step
To look back at it all
Oh, God damn we've seen it all
But darling, when the sky is dark
I still see it clearly, I see...
Even when we're miles apart
I'll still hold you close
Whenever I walk too far
You'll still be my home
Honey, there's no easy part
No matter what you're told
Even when we're miles apart
I'll still hold you close
Even when we're miles apart
I'll still hold you close
Whenever I walk too far
You'll still be my home

If all the clouds become our enemies
If life becomes difficult and adversarial
And the rain begins to fall
And we encounter obstacles and challenges
Would you still be there standing next to me
Would you continue to support and be with me
With our backs against the wall
As we face difficulties and hardships
But darling, when the sky is dark
However, in tough times
I still see it clearly, I see...
I still have a clear vision of our love and relationship
Even when we're miles apart
Despite physical distance between us
I'll still hold you close
I will continue to cherish and value our connection
Whenever I walk too far
Even if I stray or get lost on my path
You'll still be my home
You will always be the place where I belong
Honey, there's no easy part
It is not always easy
No matter what you're told
Despite what others may say or think
But even when we're miles apart
But our connection is resilient
I'll still hold you close
And I will always hold our love dear
For all the times we've had our differences
For all the conflicts we've faced
And the tears began to fall
And the emotions ran high
We've always made it to the final step
We have always persevered through tough times
To look back at it all
And reflect upon our journey
Oh, God damn we've seen it all
Oh, the experiences we've had
