When I first listened this song I couldn't make out any of the lyrics over the instruments, now I can hear them very clearly. I guess this song has improved my hearing.
i have listened to more then 12.000 music albums. and i can tell you this is one of the best bands !! rulezzz and respect!!! jovan from belgrade ,serbia, europe
@@LukasPrimeEdition h-how.. ? They are so dissimilar to me, like, they're both lo-fi indie classics, other than that I don't think there really are any direct similarities? I will admit the trumpets in this is very VERY similar to Holland, 1945
The lyrics I drove up to the city at night and found the place where you grew up and then where you stayed and then we walked around and stayed up late under city lights and I spent the night next to you in the house where you grew up. next to you I miraculously woke up in your parents' house I lied in bed with you I went back to feel alone there. I went back to wipe it clean. I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams. We went all the way up to the small town where I'm from with foggy air and the wind and the mountain top and we clung to rocks and we looked off. You held my hand you almost got to start feeling me. I finally felt like I was breathing free. And under swaying trees we fell asleep and had the same dream. The stars were bright. We dream the same every night. On my island home I spent some time with you. I went back to feel alone there. I went back there by myself and gave up on everything that we'd felt. We found a precious place in the sand right out in the wind and lied under a blanket and heard the furious sound the roar of waves, the pounding surf. two bodies on the earth: it was intense just getting to be there next to you. and you were trying to get me then. and I was happy let you in. I went back and wished I hadn't. I went back and felt regret. I went to the beach and I stared west. Every night when the sun went down in the town where we live the empty streets were lit up by reflected light from a distant sun bouncing off a glowing ball of rock. We just lied on the roof and watched the moon. The moon! The blue light of the moon! We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful. Like the moon my chest was full because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock and we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft. There's nothing left except certain death and that was comforting under the moon. I went out last night to forget that. I went out and stared it down but the moon just stared back at me and in its light I saw my two feet on the ground.
microphones...just..amazing. look up mount erie bro its the lead singer of microphones in his own acoustic project. its very.very.awesome. thanks for posting i neeeded to hear this song lol
What's up with all the idiots commenting on this? They're a lo-fi project for a reason, idiots... Love this song, love this band. It's real music without all the studio crap that ruins a lot of other music. Don't get me wrong, studio editing is great but these guys can rock lo-fi. Anyway, thanks for posting this. It's awesome.
yo, idk if anyone got back to you on this or if you found it on your own, but this is his official store: www.pwelverumandsun.com/store very reasonable prices, if you ask me. i was looking for this too and the cheapest i could find it was $56 on discog. he sells it for around $23, i believe.
The moon is in front of the clouds lol.
uhhhmm1 it's also fucking huge
maybe its the moon from Majoras Mask?
That’s just how the moon is sometimes man. Bro think about it

nelson mandela? or laptop speakers?
Thank you my hearing has gone worse but you make it feel better
You can't hear the vocals because that's how he produced it. It's purposeful.
Holy shit, this is the first time I've heard this, I got heavy chills at like 1:12, the layering of the synth over the acoustic is just fantastic
Me too, just heard it. Singer resembles New Order.
OMG I HEAR IT NOW
i have listened to more then 12.000 music albums. and i can tell you this is one of the best bands !! rulezzz and respect!!! jovan from belgrade ,serbia, europe

I HAD to watch a full 0:20 sec ad for this....BUT it was worth it.....
THE ONLY GIRL I'VE EVER LOOOO- oh shit wrong song
XD

moonlit bike rides in the summer
just listened to this song like five times in a row, looooooove it
One of my top 10 albums
What would be your top 10 ?
The lyrics
I drove up to the city at night
and found the place where you grew up
and then where you stayed
and then we walked around
and stayed up late
under city lights
and I spent the night
next to you in the house where you grew up.
next to you I miraculously woke up
in your parents' house
I lied in bed with you
I went back to feel alone there.
I went back to wipe it clean.
I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams.
We went all the way up to the small town where I'm from
with foggy air
and the wind
and the mountain top
and we clung to rocks
and we looked off.
You held my hand
you almost got to start feeling me.
I finally felt like I was breathing free.
And under swaying trees we fell asleep and had the same dream.
The stars were bright.
We dream the same every night.
On my island home I spent some time with you.
I went back to feel alone there.
I went back there by myself
and gave up on everything that we'd felt.
We found a precious place in the sand
right out in the wind
and lied under a blanket
and heard the furious sound
the roar of waves,
the pounding surf.
two bodies on the earth:
it was intense just getting to be there next to you.
and you were trying to get me then.
and I was happy let you in.
I went back and wished I hadn't.
I went back and felt regret.
I went to the beach and I stared west.
Every night when the sun went down
in the town where we live
the empty streets were lit up
by reflected light
from a distant sun
bouncing off a glowing ball of rock.
We just lied on the roof and watched
the moon.
The moon!
The blue light of the moon!
We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful.
Like the moon my chest was full
because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock
and we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft.
There's nothing left except certain death
and that was comforting under the moon.
I went out last night to forget that.
I went out and stared it down
but the moon just stared back at me
and in its light I saw my two feet on the ground.
I was quiet certain the moon was moving across my screen, but it turns out it was the music moving me
7 people have never been in love.
microphones...just..amazing.
look up mount erie bro its the lead singer of microphones in his own acoustic project. its very.very.awesome.
thanks for posting i neeeded to hear this song lol
Bless and protect Phil
yeh i agree kinda has the same descending brass passage as "holland 1945". both fantastic songs.
I like to think of this as The Glow Pt. 2's version of NMH's Holland 1945.
Does this mean that I Want Wind is NMH's ITAOTS title track
some melodies are similiar, but that's it for me
tannerin it's probably just the horns
Jamie it's not an opinion it's fact
shut up
this song makes me feel terrible but i love it
When the track has changed I thought that a commercial etc. has turned on somewhere on my other opened pages :) nice!!!
Real Indie rock
The horns in this song are... oh my lord I feel like I'm floating on a cloud on summers night above the lights of the city.
+Soloman Falin
bro i didn't even know real or fake music existed
I wonder where he went when he wrote this song..
I was expecting ducktales on nes and instead got this. My feelings are conflicted
did you like it?
why were you expecting ducktales on nes if the title says "the microphones"?
What's up with all the idiots commenting on this? They're a lo-fi project for a reason, idiots... Love this song, love this band. It's real music without all the studio crap that ruins a lot of other music. Don't get me wrong, studio editing is great but these guys can rock lo-fi. Anyway, thanks for posting this. It's awesome.
there's actually a lot of studio engineering behind this
the moon, the moon :)
atmospheric song
I was the 1000th like. that made me feel great tbh
great picture to go with the song! thanks for uploading this!
i was just like Whut? when teh drums came in. lmao.
to all the people to say "it feels like the picture was moving" or something like that:
It is slowly zooming out haha
thank God for phil elvrum.. he's cool God, good job! :]
Moon's full RJ, see you in the morning.
Has vibe of New Order,
like Age of Consent.
Thanks for posting
awhislyle I wonder if this person is still listening ten years later?
@@penguinbedsheets773 I haven't really listened to the Microphones much in years but I'm listening now, thanks for reminding me
awhislyle good, I’m discovering them just now
Penguin Bedsheets me too
@bubs0000 i know what you mean, the whole time i felt the picture was moving but it really wasn't. crazy.
i like this song
Darknesss is to remind you to bless me will love for I live the legacy of the future
@bubs0000 Ironically, the moon does move.
Hoilday by green day is the recommended track for this. Thats a travesty.
Thank youuuuu
where can you get this album on vinyl that isnt outrageously expensive??
yo, idk if anyone got back to you on this or if you found it on your own, but this is his official store: www.pwelverumandsun.com/store very reasonable prices, if you ask me. i was looking for this too and the cheapest i could find it was $56 on discog. he sells it for around $23, i believe.
Matt shit man just saw this after finding out how to find youtube comments ive made, thanks a lot !!!!

@@hihello-sx1sx yes
Una obra maestra del glow pt2
the moon is made of cheese, after all.
It resolves differently though.
@bubs0000
Awwwwwwww :3
pain.
Amazing song to stare at ur reflection to after losing ur virginity as a 15 year old girl and thinking about life and shit
@0scill8r Holy shit. I'd never heard of that song before this comment. This was first though, glad Brand New listen to The Microphones.
@bubs0000 aww! how cute!
Acoustic version is 10x better in my opinion! 3
The moon is beautiful, isn’t it:,))
Do you want some wine with that cheese?
if you wouldn't mind grabbing some for me sure
Yup, this sounds like Sneaky Feelings and The Chills had a musical baby.
@TheCandidemusic The spam?
TheCandidemusic?
Same chords as Jesus by Brand New.
Cheesy and wheezy, saxophones I mean...this is bloody good stuff, but I feel sure it was done 20-30 years ago here in New Zealand...
@Lushhdog11 your just not listening to it right
@hahamontoya no, 7 people don't like this song.
@peterpanmannnn that was the most unfunny thing i have ever heard
@peterpanmannnn i laughed :-)
Brand new also ripped off Built to spill. fuck brand new.
How can any of you hear the lyrics? I hear them loud and clear on the acoustic version, but here it's just mumbling!
@PMID85 HAHAHAHA
