I love how this is a whole franchise romance movie divided into sequels that portrays each phase of the relationship yet still keeping that whole story intact, keep it coming! **chef's kiss**
Love how this resonates with my childhood... My house was crazy, there was fights everyday for years growing up, everyone was depressed and it was embarrassing because it would get loud and neighbors would hear it all... 2020 began, the world went to shits but my life changed, I wasn't depressed anymore after 15 years of hell. The world had to go to shits for my life to get better. I'm 24 now and I'm alive. Damn I'm grateful.
I now exactly how you feel, only after 2020 did I realise what I was in, and now I'm better and still getting better and life feels like so much more now
the fact that ANthony has a solo verse on this song tho! Can't wait to hear the whole album i'm already convinced it's my favourite one, and that says alot
My personal favorite trope of this album is that even though it is a breakup album, the songs are not drenched in sadness. There is pain, there is sadness, but there is a larger tone of contention and peace to this music. I know they're ingenious enough to find a way to transfer their true feelings into musical form, which leads me to believe that every feeling we feel listening is exactly what they intended.
Damn this song is deep. I think we all go through these feelings in relationships (especially for those who have been burned or traumatized by a past relationship), but when you know that person is worth the struggle and highs and lows, you'd never give up. (This song really hits home for me. I dealt with undiagnosed depression and anxiety after getting married and moving hundreds of miles away and it made me question myself and if I was enough for my husband. He never gave up on me, or us, and helped me get the help I needed -- now he knows my triggers better than I even do sometimes. Truly couldn't ask for anyone better or more supportive.)
Don't Let The Neighbourhood Hear What if I never told you my name? What if we hadn't leaned in to touch? What if my life didn't end up this way? Would I be set on fire? What if I could be someone you love? Would I be happy now? I wish I had a motorbike Would only wanna race it (only wanna race it) I wish that you could make me smile 'Cause I can't even fake it (never wanna fake it) Fake it, fake, fake it Fake it, now So don't let the neighbourhood hear Just how fucked up it's gotten here Screaming at the top of our lungs "Am I not good enough?" Don't let the neighbourhood hear Just how fucked up it's gotten here Screaming at the top of our lungs "Am I not good enough?" Am I not good enough to be loved by you? Am I not good enough to be loved by you? To be loved by you What if I drew your mouth open wide? What if you loose up, let me inside? What if generations made you this way? (What if I do, what if I don't?) What if we end up doing the same? (Shut up) I wish I had a motorbike Would only wanna race it (only wanna race it) I wish that you could make me smile 'Cause I can't even fake it (never wanna fake it) Fake it, fake, fake it Fake it, now So don't let the neighbourhood hear Just how fucked up it's gotten here Screaming at the top of our lungs "Am I not good enough?" Don't let the neighbourhood hear Just how fucked up it's gotten here Screaming at the top of our lungs "Am I not good enough?" Am I not good enough to be loved by you? Am I not good enough to be loved by you? You gave me all of the dark that I got But I would never dare to give up You put my hopes to the back of a box But I would never dare to give up You told me everything's gonna fuck up But I would never dare to give up Give up on you Give up on me
I LOVE that song…my first time hearing them was when I heard Body Gold playing during a video of some guy making headphones out of bullets lol..been hooked every since. But Technicolor Beat and Dazzle Me are on a whole different level 🤌🏾
If the first two songs are anything to go by, this album is going to be my favourite I think. The idea of hearing this particular tune live excites me so much.
Lisenting to my 3 year old sing the lyrics to an OW song this morning only to find they posted this new song on my birthday...the universe is ...just...thank you
Amazing editing and cinematography. Props to the director. The sharp cuts, close-ups, the shaky camera, and the lighting all create a jarring anxious feeling when you're alone and helpless. Also, the fire+water combo was a great addition.
This video is masterclass in representing the end of a failed relationship. How Josephine is drowning in water, and Anthony is in a house on fire. Fire and water, polar opposites, representing their incompatibility. I'd say the story being told here is the character played by Anthony is the one initiating the break up- as he is, quite literally, the one "burning it down." The character played by Josephine doesn't want it to end- she refuses to leave, and as the relationship gets worse, the water fills the house more and more. She is literally drowning in the end of this relationship. Josephine is in obvious distress, yet so is Anthony. Even though he seems relatively physically safe from the flames, he still screams and cries. They did such a good job in visually representing that while very different scenarios, neither side of a breakup is easy to be on, and both are painful. And all the intercutting to them together is definitely the fact that it is impossible to be going through this and not constantly looking back on the good times, wondering how things came to this. Those flashes are the character's flashbacks. Josephine's head going under, eve after all her fighting for it not to, represents the final end of the relationship. She might not have wanted it, but sometimes life cannot be stopped. What a video. What an album.
the perfect depiction of a break up that's not meant to happen, both sonically and the imagery, wow. You just want to do the right thing but the world is literally imploding and the basic functions of existence seem impossible, so how could it be right to leave? I feel so, so much for you guys and how hard it must have been.
It's just unforgivable how good you guys make me feel with your music. I've been following your work since body gold and have been happier and happier ever since.
You never disappoint! I can't wait to listen to the whole album! Your music has been the best discover during lockdown. Thank you for sharing your art and your emotions with us. 💖
Woah, this gave me the chills. So many times have I had the exact same thoughts in my marriage. Although we always second guess, and are sometimes at our utter worst, it’s worth it in the end. Such a stripped back, raw, emotional roller coaster of an album thus far. Your best work yet. ❤️
Since a part of the song was uploaded I loved it and had to wait to hear the whole song. And I am not disappointed, I loved it much more. Oh Wonder, you're the best ❤️🇦🇷
Another banger 💯♥️ I've been listening to y'all since high school (7+ years now) and I still claim OW as my fav band 💪 Coming to see y'all in DC next year 🔥
could not have came at the right time , like I'm literally crying because this song describes my current situations. aaaahahhh been waiting for something like ths
OKAY OH WONDER! This is my first time seeing an OW music video the on the first day, but it's not the first time I've fallen deeper in love with them.. again.
