I could say so much, I'm 62 and what this song means to me may differ somewhat from what it means to others. But I guess that's the point and the miracle of music isn't it? To find yourself in the words of anothers meaning. Isn't that the truth of my life. How I discovered myself in what I discovered about others. Both versions of the song are excellent, because the song is both beautiful and bitter sweet, which is how it seems to be with truly beautiful things. And I thank you for helping me discover more about me by listening to you.
Absolutely amazing just makes me look at my kids and wife as they sleep and break inside as I cannot possibly express how much love them and pray I am never in this world without them
Reading your comment, I instinctively said a short prayer for you. Never, ever, ever forget how that feels. Not when you are angry, or when you are beaten, or when the mountains rise up in your path and the earth shakes under your feet, or when the day has simply been long and your patience is short. If you can remember that, at least you will have the comfort, small as it is, that you did not forget to cherish what you had when you had it. Three years ago when you left your comment, I would have echoed it. Today, my whole life is just echoes. Never forget. Not for one moment. I can reflect on so many times at the end of a long and tired day when it felt like work to play lazer tag in the snow or to help a kid play mad scientist in the kitchen or to read a book or to just sit and listen to a teen talk about teen worries, and I take some comfort in all the times I consciously chose to be present. Yet, the prominent memories are all the times I said, "Hey, I'm kind of beat. Can we do it tomorrow?"
LYRICS. I signed the papers for a lifelong lease I rent the earth where I stay and the air I breathe Then you forget that deal you made with God While busy finding yourself being young, being dumb, and in love It's all too easy and you're easily bored Never once has it crossed your mind that life's too short And there's a third person walking behind us A tap on the back and it's there to remind us Life is a blink of an eye 'til you are no more So I stand back and I watch us fall As we break everything inside these hotel walls Life's for rent and it called us out So I hand back the key as the door man bows They greet you welcome with roses and champagne When you walk through the lobby they all know your name But all beautiful things come with edges and thorns And the body you borrowed is starting to look kinda worn So I stand back and I watch us fall As we break everything inside these hotel walls Life's for rent and it called us out So I hand back the key as the door man bows We're just grains in the universe I let that comfort me when I'm anxious This life is beautifully ugly at times We're just grains in the universe I let that comfort me when I'm anxious This life is beautifully ugly at times It's beautifully ugly at times It's beautifully ugly at times It's beautifully ugly at times It's beautifully ugly at times So I stand back and I watch us fall As we break everything inside these hotel walls You know that life's for rent and it called us out So I hand back the key as the door man bows Source: LyricFind
Some people waste their precious time arguing, fighting all for nothing. It's good to be unhappy sometimes but one should not dwell in it for long. Move on,cheer up, be happy 😁
That's the best song I ever heard in my life. I had to watch it 5 times and I cried after 4. The lyrycs are ... brilliant (and more), the music is ... impossibly good (and more) and the rythm is... perfect (and more). One world: WOW! :) Thank You!

Woooooowwww!!! A ja stoję z boku i w dalszym ciągu oglądam upadek mojej szczęki, która wypadła mi z wrażenia po odsłuchu tego genialnego utworu! Niesamowite wrażenie zrobił na mnie ten utwór - aż zdrętwiałem... Nie mogę przestać słuchać! Wielkie brawa!
I've always loved lyrics first, and music second. A song can be a masterpiece musically and have meaningless or horrible lyrics, and I can't listen to it. It is so very, very rare to encounter a song like this where every single element of it overflows with such beauty, creativity, and depth of meaning.
What lyrics, what a melody! Great voice! All in all, it is a masterpiece. I've just discovered you and you have become my favorite band! Thank you for this song!
