You do need to be saved by Jesus Christ. We don’t even know if we are gonna wake up tomorrow, how can You save yourself? Most people walk in darkness and don’t even know what they stumble upon, Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life. Don’t be afraid to seek the truth! God bless
@@jaimelannister3515 I'm almost 35 and it still hasn't happened for me. Did that happen for a reason? Or did I screw up my youth and miss out on "the one"? What if no one else is designed for me?
@@andrewenglish3493 Just have faith man. I'm 30 and I've been with my wife since we were like 14. We have 9 children. When you know, you know. Don't try too hard mate. It just happens.
The ending when she's saying, "It's alright," reminds me of when someone is at their limit and they're just repeating It's alright over and over again in hopes of it being true
Whenever I have failed in something and totally ashamed of myself.. The lines 'Its alright Its alright' is so soothing..When am in bed, I hear this, get tears in my eyes and eventually go to sleep believing"Its alright"
mumble weed I am listening to it now and trying not to cry.. meanwhile i think of my distant love (i met him on fb and he lives in another continent) he treats me like summer treats tom but at least tom can say that for once she was his. i mean they layed down.. i had nothing real with him, and if i never get to know him? :( life has no sence if i think of it. but he is always breaking my
im so in love with the movie 500 days of summer. the soundtrack is amazing (hello, it has this song for starters) and its not like other rom-coms with fairy tale happy endings, its really realistic. its not about them being in love, its about him being in love with her
Makes my heart heavy and sink everytime, this film came out when I was around 17 first proper girlfriend just a couple of Indie kids, wow time goes fast huh?
I needed to hear this, I want so much for my life and I get trapped in my thoughts at times. But just hearing "its alright" and "No one's got it all". I keeps me present and happier
I always imagined this song was Summer singing to Tom and letting him know “I don’t need you to save me”. He never saw it coming because he was more in love with an idea than the actual person. That’s why it was played during the party scene when he finds out she’s engaged. One of my favorite movie scenes ever. This song is the soundtrack to my failed engagement. She was my Summer and the worst part is we went to see the film when it released in theaters. I never saw any of it coming at all lol. No worries, I’m in a happier place in my life now because of it
@@silexsilex43 it was hard at first. We were together for almost 5 years and giving all of that up isn't easy. I broke down when I first realized it was over but time heals all wounds
@@rahiememclaurin4725 I'm going through a break up with my first real love. I can't get her off my mind. All I think about is her, and if shes thinking about me. I miss her and I wanna tell her but I know I can't do that anymore. Some days I get this nauseous feeling in my stomach and I dont wanna eat. Your a stronger man than me. This is hard, I can't imagine how painful it was for you
In my opinion this song is about how when we are little we aren't given the right information and we become corrupt. The song starts with "He never saw it coming at all". And then she sings "its alright" as if comforting a baby. Saying that we are fed these ideas. "Open wide, here comes original sin". "Now we're going to these meetings But we're not doin' any meetin' And we're trying to be faithful but we're cheatin'," - may imply that some people who go to church just go to go, but arent actually taking it seriously. We want pleasure. And we tell ourselves "its alright" "I'm the hero of the story, don't need to be saved" may mean that we are so self-centered and see no need for God, but then Regina reminds us that "No ones got it all"
Close Reach Maybe I'm just saying this because I'm an atheist but I think it's more about how Christianity is being presented in our society. I can't really explain it but if you go on songmeanings the second comment explains it really well
Nice interpretation, I also think that the extended pronounciation on "sin" with it resulting in "sin-zzzzz" mimicks a hornet's buzzing sound, reflecting how people are injected with these false conceptualised ideas of religion, just as a hornet injects people with poison, people are corrupted by the poison as much as the injection of religion into the minds of society. "Open wide, here comes original sin" may imply that families who are indeed religious, then try to feed these ideas to their children, but "original sin" may also reflect how religion was a conceptualised idea that was conjured creatively by people, hence "original" possibly to manipulate people in the way it does today.
Also the echoing "oh, oh, oh, oh - oh" at the end may imply that society is too arrogant to listen to the voice of truth, hence the gradual suppression of volume may reflect that society blocks these conflicting statements out about religion to live a normal life.
I had a similar thought process. Someone struggling internally with doing what they know is the path of the righteous but also liking being a sinner. And they keep reassuring themselves that what they are doing is okay as long as they are inbetween. But we all know how that works out...
It sounds like someone who thought that they were above everyone else and that they couldn't be brought down by the same things that brought down others, but found out that they're human too, imperfect and corruptible. Especially towards the end, it sounds like someone trying to be consoled, coming to terms with their own weakness. (Btw run on sentences are my specialty)
This is gonna sound really dumb, but even years later, the chorus of "It's alright, it's alright" really calms me down. I swear it's on repeat in my head in my worst moments, and it helps...a lot, actually. I couldn't remember where it was from for the longest time, I thought maybe Chris Garneau? But I finally found it again.
this song is talking about original human sin and the natural impurity of humans... what does that have to do with hopeless romance.... Are you talking about 500 days? because 500 days is about how you can't get hooked on one person and nice guy logic is bull...
This song really makes me sad because i see it as a song about someone who is to proud to ask for help when they are in desperate need of it. They are so proud that they try and convince themselves over and over again that they are fine repeating the same haunting lines "I'm the hero of this story I don't need to be saved," "Its alright, it's alright, it's alright," and "No ones got it all."
dick sledge, It's not always pride, It's fear, loss of faith... You might never be able to open up again after what happened to you, You'd rather let the pain destroy you than everyone else.
Just watched (500) Days of Summer and now I can't stop playing this song because I realized I was in Tom's place with my own Summer. I adored this girl, she was truly my first love and maybe even the love of my life. Now, I did have relationships before her but none made me feel like how she made me feel, I just went along because they liked me and I didn't know how to reject people. She changed that. Our relationship was absolutely blissful, just two teens who seemed to be in love. I was the only one in love. She broke up with me four or five months later and it completely tore me apart. I was so upset after that everytime I tried to move on I would be reminded of her. Hell, everytime I saw her I would have to stop or leave the room if I was in the same classroom as her. She broke up with me during the summer of last year, which is ironic now that I think about it. This song also made me realize that I'm not fully over her. A couple months ago I found out she had a new boyfriend, one of which she actually did things with and would be completely compatible with. I was a bigger mess than I was, so much so that I completely blocked the envy out of my head so I could feel better. That can only work for so long however, and listening to this song made me realize that. I'm her Tom, and she's my Summer.
the last it's alright it's alright.. is like trying to convince yourself you're okay when you're not. my goodness, i'll never get over that 500 days of summer scene! heartbreaking!
this is the most beautiful song ever in my opinion. The lyrics, the melody fits perfectly and this song never gets old. It can make you feel sad, nostalgic, even maybe a bit angry. I love it. Wish there was more music out there like THIS.
It's alright, it's alright, such a peaceful refrain. A fantastic reminder everyday. My girlfriend sang this to me when I was super sad, cheered me up and I've been a fan ever since!
Whenever i feel depressed I listen this song This song has actually mysterious power you Know it's not alright but it's feel to that everything is ok in bittersweet way ❤️❤️500 days of summer ❤️❤️
"open wide, here comes original sin". I thought of people who shove old stories and religion down your throat. "I'm the hero of this story don't need to be saved." Aka, this is my life I'm the only one who's going to save it and hell and heaven are the ups and downs and consequences. Also we're trying to be faithful but we're cheating, explains how so many people are hypocrites and treating faith like they will get brownie points the more they preach but they go around and cheat. Perfect song in my opinion. love it.
People just hold heaven and he'll over our heads, like as a reason to behave. I'm going to live my life while I'm alive and worry about what comes after when I get there.
omg. exactly! (sorry for this being so long) I think everyone has a right to their own beliefs. I do not believe any region or beliefs are correct or incorrect. I personally do not take on any label because it personally just doesn't matter to me. I am not an atheist nor am I muslim, or catholic. anything. I do not put down any beliefs because I personally believe we are only human and part of only a small fragment of life itself. Although, I think people take the bible to seriously and literally. To me living with faith is living in fear. Hell and Heaven? are the consequences of who you will be in the end. God is us. And if I'm wrong when I breath my last breath and am at the gates and am proved wrong, then so be it, I will deal with that then. But this life is the only thing I'm truly sure of. I believe common understanding, acceptance, love and respect is what we should truly focus on.
I always end up here after crying like a fuckin baby I didn't know that a heartbreak could do all of this ! I'm broken, lost, angry and sad No one around me can understand what i really feel They just keep saying "get over her" I wish it was just this simple . It's been a long time since she left and it still feels like it was yesterday, nothing has changed My heart still hurts and i never stopped thinking about her Screw emotions screw love I wish i knew the consquences before i got my self into it It just never stops 💔
ahmad basil, I feel you brother, Don't get over her, Let the pain hurt you 'Til you can hurt no more. After all, we have to get worse before we can get better.
ahmad basil how are you doing nw? I want to know if it gets better? Im in a similar situation. My hearts is shattered in a million pieces. No one understands. Getting over someone is not easy

The chronicles of narnia Prince Caspian brought me here. Ever since I heard The Call at the end of the film i had been searching for hours just to find it. And now i know its Regina Spektor i have been listening to every single song i like. :D Music is my everything.
Thanks to that same movie I started listening to Regina Spektor's songs. The Call was the first song I heard from her and I didn't even know at that moment xD
This song makes me think about life. She's right because no one in this life has it all. You may have the fame and the fortune, but you're still not happy. In this world, everyone wants to be something they're not. People feel helpless, but they still try to do their best to save themselves. We think we're something we're not, but we have to accept the fact that we're imperfect.
watched 500 days of summer last night,get that expetation/reality scene,hear this song get chills and cant stop pressing replay button since then...O_O great fuckin song!
Summer's not a "bitch" pls. She actually helped Tom figure out his life. Tom decided to become an architect because of what happened with him and Summer. Summer just doesn't see Tom as a boyfriend, that doesn't make her a bitch. She's just another normal person.
"I'm the hero of the story, don't need to be saved" Thats what we all think, even when we're sunking down, when everything is falling apart, we still think that we're the main protagonist. The hero. That we mean something. And that by the end of the movie we are gonna be fine. WE ARE NOT. We are nothing. No one gives a fuck about us. We are not special, we are not the main of anything. Please. Seek help. Alone we are nothing. Together we can to a lot.
