The Luminary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't matter in the end
I know it has to be this way
You're leaving me again
So I'll write my little love song
And I'll sing it to the wind
'Cause you're out there on the road tonight
I'm lonely here without you
Miss your breath against my skin
You love me then you leave me still I lie here
Pressing fingers, where your kisses have been
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I'll miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
Know that I should be in bed
It's almost 3 AM
But when I close my eyes I can only see miles of headlights
Fleshing out the distance
Yes I know that it's been calling to you
London, New York, Amsterdam
So I'll sing my little lonely songs
So I'll write my little love song
And I'll sing it to the wind
'Cause you're out there on the road tonight
London, New York, Amsterdam
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I'll miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
The Lumineers' song "Amsterdam" is a melancholic tune about a relationship that is tested by distance and time. The song's opening lines, "Underground or airplane, doesn't matter in the end, I know it has to be this way, you're leaving me again," set the stage for the somber mood of the song. The singer is resigned to the fact that their partner frequently leaves and they must deal with the loneliness that comes along with it. The song's title is a reference to Amsterdam, which is one of the destinations that the partner is traveling to.
The singer's emotions are palpable in the chorus when they repeatedly sing, "And I miss you," emphasizing the void that the partner's absence creates. Their yearning for their partner's return is further reinforced in the lines, "I'm lonely here without you, miss your breath against my skin, you love me then you leave me still I lie here, pressing fingers, where your kisses have been."
Despite their sorrow, the singer tries to maintain a positive outlook by writing and singing their little love song to the wind. They know that their partner is out there in the world, chasing their dreams, and they are content to wait for them to return.
Overall, "Amsterdam" is a touching and bittersweet tribute to the ups and downs of long-distance relationships.

I was in 7th GRADE (2007) I had asked my friend to share some Good house and trance Music on my CD-RW, the next day he gave it to me,
I returned back home quickly from school, and started to play the music on my Dad's JVC HiFi DAC System, and to my surprise most of the trance collection in that CD-RW were so good that I skipped my evening play time, and also those were my First Trance collection back in the days,
and it was at this moment when I heard "Luminary - Amsterdam (Smith & Pledger Remix)" after listening to prev tracks for hours, I was hooked, I played the same track on repeat for at least 10x, ever since that day this track has been, and it will always be my most favorite Trance tunes of all time, I still have the CD-RW copy with me today,
this track is Pure Nostagia and feel good Anthem.
This track was much ahead of it's time and even today.

@Pat Oswald Shadows Movement and Together are Anjunadeep so you can take them out ; )
For what it's worth, mine are:
1. Tranquility Base - Buzz (Buzztalk Mix)
2. Oliver Smith - Nimbus
3. Maor Levi - Shapes (Oliver Smith Remix)
4. Signalrunners - Electric Sheep (Nitrous Oxide Remix)
5. A&B - Good For Me or Home (Club Mixes)
I really can't choose between the last two! Both are incredible. Good For Me slightly more melodic yet Home is more euphoric. Really tough.
@irufushi5998
What an era this was. The greatest, nothing gets near this, nothing. Emotion, feels, uplifting, vocals to die for. I miss it so much.
@irufushi5998
Should add, tracks that weren’t rushed, not 3 mins long with a wee build up and some crappy drop then ends a minute later. This era was 6 mins plus and was perfect.
@Besaid_
glad to know there are others who remember this era of trance and feel similar to how I do. nothing compares and it was trance in it's rawest form. it really bothers me when people use the label trance nowadays as it's nothing like it was before
@Boutros6
This song is pure magic! Im trying to find similar tracks, can you recommend the years I should be looking at? Or even a playlist? Thanks!
@djdogstar7385
Easily one of the most impactful and powerful trance tracks in existence.
@OperculumAudio
This is one of the greatest Trance songs of all time
