Honestly, I'm religious and I agree with most of the points he made in this song, life shouldn't just be endured, it should be lived, when you're just waiting for death you're actually putting your faith in death rather than Jesus and focusing on this life

@@rohe1790some Christians are so caught up in despair and only await the saving of Christ, but forget to try living the lives they were blessed. We are all so lucky to be here, and treating that like nothing because there is a greater place in the future is not what He wanted for us.
Yeah, alot of the stuff mentioned in the song prove the guy didn't know real sh!t about religion so he shouldn't even be talking. You're not just waiting for the afterlife or something in religion. And besides the life there isn't even "lavish" like every average person out there may believe about heaven. Not even close, since there won't be death in heaven we'll all supposedly be vegan. Not to mention, he's acting like you don't quite do anything for this good afterlife; acting like it's only heaven, that there is no hell you have to avoid.
That's true we all forget about living we all should focus more on it its not the dark ages anymore humanity has more to offer if you see it with your own eyes.
I think it feels nostalgic because of the beat. I read between the lines that its a man who just sings about living life without the thoughts of what happens after. This explanation video was just peak comedy for me and I clicked because of the "you idiots " part 😂
I would say the point is to live a life that we or others can be proud of and to try and make a positive impact on the world around us, even if it's just slightly. I would say the same to anyone who asks "if there's not an afterlife and we're all going to die eventually, than what's the point?"
i'm also pretty stupid but i think i get a LIIIIITTLE bit of slack. it's flipping 2024 and this song has been overused too much i mean it's a great flipping song but i mean when it becomes an overused stupid ass fuck tiktok song then i hate the world. i agree with this but i'd like to point out that a song can have multiple meanings at once, no matter how the artist wrote it to be seen as. then at that point we have to determine what the artist wrote it for. people can have different views and interpretations, but we can't exactly say they're wrong and that ours is right unless it's what the artist wrote it for. till then all meanings are correct. i think this could be the intended purpose. but the lyrics can also be supporting nostalgia in a way. i'm not sure if "a nostalgia song" is how to describe Notion, but "a song referring to life and the world when it was simple and great" which IS Nostalgic so well i kind of just unproved my point but what the Notion would be that is a lie is "Everything will be OK" CALMING BUT THATS NOT TRUE AND THATS NOT HOW THE WORLD WORKS. anyway my point is that well i support and love this video and appreciate the... Enthusiasm XD LOL and the PASSION for this song and the explanation to us idiots. thank you so much and well ye that's all
For my case, I was too stupid to actually listen to the lyrics but now I think after seeing this it just makes it more of a lovable and comforting song for me and SO MANY other people.
I js thought it was about nostalgia because I had like no idea what the guy was singing and I only heard it in edits but the lyrics make it super obvious
wait people DIDN'T understand this?? "If you could pull the lever to carry on forever, would your life even matter anymore?" WHO WASN'T GETTING THIS???
dude this video was in my feed and im telling you this is the most awesome breakdown ive seen of this song. I've used this song to help tell a story about my lil character thing from it's meaning and like im also really frustrated how people arent really digging the whole futureproof album and like the message it tells and shit man. awesome work
I think it's the beat that makes it nostalgic, not the lyrics. Like how Outkast's Hey Ya is considered upbeat despite being about breaking up - "Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance." The music feels nostalgic and that's what it's used for.
Unironically, this explanation made the song a ton lot more beautiful and poetic. Not because I didn’t understand it before, but because reading your explanation while listening to the song just triggered something in me. I’m not exactly atheist, but I don’t bow down to a god or anything. I believe in the existence of gods and stuff, just not like that. I think this song invokes nostalgia because of the tune and beat, but also because inheritly, even if we all share a collective brain cell, our brain naturally decipher the words into the deeper meaning. We just don’t consciously know it, so we call it nostalgia. It makes us feel deep emotions that we can’t place or otherwise explain, let alone have experienced. Hell most of the ppl who use this song in edits probably aren’t over 20 (I’m not). We don’t have a lot to be THAT nostalgic for yet. I loved this video. Good job.
well this song is nostalgic but not because of the lyrics but because of the fact that this is a song from my early childhood and I get reminded of the good times even though there were not many good times (I had a bad childhood, and parents were not the best gave me mental problems
even though im a christian, this song and the whole live your life to the fullest part, is great. i do believe we're here to live our lives greatly and take it all in, while also never forgeting and departing from God.
@@OmniKit yeah, dude appreciate it. some of us are TOO religious and think we can't do anything else other devotion. like what are here for other than worship dude?
It's such a meaningful song for atheists like me, it makes me emotional thinking of all the peer pressure and family pressure or even media influence when our existence is diminished. But I agree with it so much, afterlife and eternal life is scary to me, I want to treasure every moment of the life I already have because there's just 1 life we've got❤️
@@iExist543 the funny thing is in the bible it basically says your here for a reason and if God wanted, he could put you in this afterlife an the even funnier thing is Jesus tells people to live their life and don't dwell on the mishaps or what is to come after you die and btw this song is nostalgic but not because of the lyrics but because of the fact that this is a song from my early childhood and I get reminded of the good times even though there were not many good times (I had a bad childhood, and parents were not the best gave me mental problems)
Same fr (exept luckily my parents aren’t religious either) I only have one atheist/agnostic Freind, and because of where I live EVERYONE ELSE IS SUPER RELIGIOUS. It’s lowkey annoying because they always push it on me super heavily, and while I still love my friends, they need to chill with the preachy shit. I fully respect religion, but when you make it your whole personality it gets annoying af (which is ironic because a lot of those people say they dislike when gay people make that their whole personality but they also do the same) holy shit I just yapped and wasted like 3 mins damn
This song is relatable for me. As an ex-Christian (now atheist) when I was a little kid in catholic school I had a lot of people tell me I’d go to hell. When I left the religion I ended up having existential crises and had trouble coping with the atheist concept of death which made me more depressed than I already was. Actually I’m still depressed and am still struggling with coping and I don’t like thinking about death but maybe if I live a happy life I won’t feel scared or sad about it anymore.
What I’m boutta say is kinda long but trust me, just read it. Brother/sister please go back to Christianity. I understand u are depressed rn but your life will piece right back together if you put your faith in god. Trust me, and if you don’t, it’s fine, not much people are Christian nowadays sadly and I’m not gonna force religion on you. Also, if that catholic school you went to was telling you that you will be sent down to hell, that was NOT a catholic school which fits perfectly into the Bible verse of “Beware of false prophets”. Pls, rejoice with your savior Jesus, and you will overcome depression.
Its not like choosing christianity an answer for him, its really to find meaning in life. And religions is just some guide on how to live one thats good, thats why its important to have a religion no matter which god you believe in.@@JustinSantisgp-or5un
Honestly, if i left my religion i would have more trouble with the concept of death that it just goes black. Thats why i recommend you go around and try what people with religions (no matter which) do, see the benefit and the negative, then try to feel which you feel the most connection with. Im a muslim so i would recommend you do some of the practices (dont join any religion if your unsure to, because its not permitted to randomly quit the religion and join another one just for benefit) you need to really believe in it. Anyways i hope you overcome this trial brother. ❤
Here’s the thing; people often choose or reject religion to fix one problem in their life and that is it. The concept of death is frightening, but believing what you want to believe is not going to make you better. Religion is a way of life that honors God and all that is good, but some are so caught up in despair and fear they forget to love each other, and instead hate spread Christianity. Christianity is a loving and accepting life, but so many twist it.
HOW DID I NOT UNDERSTAND THE LRYICS IN THE FIRST PLACE 😭😭😭 Also thanks for the explanation, although I’m probably not gonna listen to this song anymore given that the meaning behind it contradicts with my beliefs 😅
Same bro it was my favorite song but now after I know the meaning of it. It kind makes me sad, I am religious and learning that one of my favourite sons is just telling that everything I belive in is a lie is kinda sad
Yay I like this I hate how people think it’s about nostalgia I’m Christian but I very much like this line. I agree with it in the context you explained it, 0:53
I genuinely love this song so much, I listened to it a lot while I was going through my journey of deconstruction and discovery. Thank you for setting the record straight with this video
Hozier is my favorite artist and since I live in a predominantly Christian country, this is what I'd sing cuz not a lot of people notice the lyrics, much less know the music video lmfaoooo
When people hear the line “OH BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGERRR” they think, “oh this song is how he’s reflecting when he was young and the good times he had, songs have deep meanings and these little lines may not mean it’s about that one thing, but perhaps the entire song talking about something different.
I just got recommended this and honestly your explanation pretty much kinda aligned with my own thoughts on the meaning of the song which correlates to the saying “momento mori” (remember you must die) and just as you did, I won’t say more cause really it’s just common sense + thorough listening, good shit man.
on god those children on gorilla tag are so annoying like "WaAaAaAaAaaAAaA iM SO PIsSEd 😭AT GorIlaa🦍 TAg I wAS iN a COMPEtetiVE ⚔🤺 LoBby aND I GOt CalLED A CHEaTeR💻 BecOUsE I WAs LUCIo RuNNING 🏃♂"
I listened to it purely for the vibes before but now that I know the meaning I think i’ll listen to it w more affection and appreciation. encapsulates how i view life, death & religion so perfectly 🗣️🗣️
2:05 my interpretation (that fits more neatly within the song as a whole) is that the "sunshine" doesn't refer to happiness in life, but rather as life in whole apart from death, and that "this momentary beam of light" refers to this specific, finite life, so that the line as a whole means you won't live forever, but you can live now edit: typo
@@iExist543 no, the interpretation of finiteness of life is likely the correct one here given the nature of the song. "Sunshine" refers to to living another day, in this sense the metaphor refers to living in itself, There won't always be sunshine meaning you won't always be here to live (since sunshine means a new day), momentary beam of light then appreciates this "beam of light" as long as it is. The other interpretation referring to ups and downs of life does not match well with the context of this song since the song talks explicitly about mortality.
I agree with you, to me it was like you won't have this perfect happy days even after death expecting sunshine and rainbows, life isn't gonna be enternal sunshines, it's just going to be another beam of light shining for a brief moment and you should cherish it.
1:26 "If you could pull the lever to carry on forever, would your life even matter anymore?" My intepretation of this line is that if you have the prospect, the promise of living forever and happily in an afterlife or be ressurected to a time of perfection, what would be the point of living here anymore if there's a much better place just waiting for you? Also this is exactly why I hate tiktok. They take short segments of songs, and people will only listen to THAT SEGMENT, and won't even listen to the full song to support their "favorite artist," and would prefer to listen to the lyrics videos or sped up audio edits. And no one actually listens to the lyrics; they just follow the trend. And it may sound odd, but humans have an interesting thing where we are attracted to things others are attracted to (a sadly hence as to why best friends are usually the ones to end up stealing your partners). So if you see a video- or a tiktok, i suppose- that has a lot of likes, you will probably like it too. The fact that so many people will claim that this is their "favorite song/artist" when they don't even actually listen to them fully or support the artists- it's genuinely infuriating. Also, please don't just take up after what other people say and make it your own truth. Discover things for yourself. Do your research. edit: My personal favorite The Rare Occasions song is actually Futureproof. I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves.
0:53 i really just looked the song's meaning up for this line i didn't know people misunderstood at as a nostalgia song and that is kinda funny but the meaning of the line is so beautiful, and its well-put by you too im in awe this is ART. i knew that but thank you for giving me a deeper appreciation for the song
Oh my god. I can relate to your feelings about these types of tiktok songs sm 😭 I hate it when people put actually unrelated songs in their tiktok edits or character playlists GUYS. LYRICS EXIST FOR A REASON. One of my favorite things is trying to understand the lyrics of songs I like, and seeing people just completely misunderstand songs is PAINFUL I have a friend who made a playlist for she and her girlfriend, and it had a song about a toxic relationship about it 😅
This is a swiftie level threat... also people do this type of things with other songs too, you do realize that right? they listen to the instrumental, not the actual lyrics themselves, which is why you catch people dancing to an upbeat song when the lyrics are in german talking about sex or something just as bad. People like the vibes the instrumentals bring, not the lyrics themselves 😭Put on your big boy pants here bucko... Because these "idiots" are people who are enjoying the song damn it 😭
hey,,,, this comment probably won't get anywhere but i hope you know this video saved me, in a way :D ! ! i felt so hopeless and depressed before watching this, and don't get me wrong, those feelings are still there, but now i feel like theres something ahead of me that i can look forward to, like a door that's waiting to be opened, thanks for making this, just wanted to let you know (assuming someone reads this comment ?)
i've loved the rare occasions for about a year and a half now, and notion is my favorite song of all time. i have to say that this video perfectly conveys how i feel about everyone's stupid tiktok edits lmfao, although i'm grateful they got the song to be as popular as it is because i would have never found my favorite band. and yes, i did find my favorite band from an unfunny racist meme.
i never really knew this song. only saw the edits of "OH BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER" then i came across this video. my brotha explained it so well dawg. thank you
you’re the kindest person I have EVER met (And tiktok hardly gets ANYTHING right, so it’s not surprising so thank you for explaining this song. And I love the rare occasions! So thank u.)
the fact that this was recommended to me but I've literally been listening to for like 3 days now.. I do understand some of them but I didn't expect THIS. what an idiot I am.. 😭
Actually, correcting the perpetual in motion bit, perpetual motion doesn’t exist, adding onto the idea that while it’s cool to have something go on for eternity, it doesn’t actually exist.
I always was thinking about the second understanding of lyrics "the right one" (heaven bs stuff). But I think that the song still can be interpreted rightly and used as an nostalgia song, but definetly not by the part about being younger, more so by the "pull the lever, to carry on forever". It actually fits many medias, think about all the tvshows that are loved - they ended, in the right time too. When a show/game is going endlessly then its not appreciated as much as other things (I know you can feel nostalgic over old fortnite, or older seasons of a show, but its still in someway here, and doesnt "hurt" as much as the older series never returning (littlebigplanet, tt lego games, club penguin, whatever). As a non-native english speaker im also shocked by the illiteracy of the englishmen. You can literally hear in the "when i was younger part" that it literally is nothing about nostalgia. It could be literally used as a nostalgia song, and with deeper meaning, but some people are just dumb, and when you really think about it the part that is widely used just doesnt fit, and the fact that theres a part that could fit more - and would give an deeper meaning - is out there in this song, makes me feel something unexplainable. Conclusion: in the end, not even english people give a shit about english songs 😂
as a christian, who loves this song, thank you for explaining it i’ve seen so many “nostalgia” videos with this sound and it always makes me so mad when i see them.
My man, i feel sad knowing the lyrics of this song, but also happy? I am confused cause it sounds like a song that makes you feel like in summer nostalgia, but reading the lyrics is smg different.. tysm for this information ❤
A reminder that a song isn't just music or just words, the tell a story or explain something meaningful Some of which can even elighten you and make you mote present it the moment
Thank you for making this. I usually listen to songs but sometimes I don't know the meaning. This explanation helped me understand. Thanks for this explanation for us simpletons.
"It's not a nostalgia song" But if the moments that we have are so meaningless, shouldn't it be us that enjoy all of it before it ends? Isn't _that_ what nostalgia is?
REALL bro as someone raised in a family with major religious beliefs that I ended up rejecting, this is one of my favorite and most relatable songs, NOT A SOMG ABOUT NOSTALGIA 😭🙏
Saying this here hoping other people relate somehow- for awhile ive kinda been struggling with identity. And because of religion it made me think i HAD to belive in some sort of afterlife to find peace. But that made me more stressed, thats when i realized i didnt even belive in it. I kinda saw the idea of heaven and hell as some made up story tale. This song kinda helps me realize its ok to not follow a religion, its ok to think this way. And that i should try to just appreciate life and the good moments as it won't last forever and thats ok.
I already knew that this song wasn't about nostalgia, but I didn't know it had that specific meaning, I thought it was a song about someone who made a big mistake in the past and I was trying to get over it these days (because of the music video). But thank you for explaining this meaning! ❤️
It's just the feeling it gives off, it feels like it's nostalgia if we don't listen to the lyrics because we're used to hear it in nostalgia themed content. Also, the way you explained it was so aggressively funny. Now I can't unhear the atheist meaning.
"if you could pull the lever to carry on forever" is SO easy to guess omg oh, and thank you for explaining this to the numb skulls of this universe. you did god's work.
I mean when it said 'when i was younger' i was like hmm then i heard 'torture beneath the earth' as well as 'ive seen the ending and there is no ascending' i pieced it together in my little noggin and realized hey this guy is some atheist that dosent believe in a life after death
Well, I came to this song seeking comfort after being told i was going to "rot in hell for eternity" for telling my family i was atheist and found religion stupid. My family then started to ask me what i believed in , and said "you have to believe something" so this song really helps me knowing im not alone :)
thank you for explaining this song, i personally just used to listen to it when i was 1-2 years younger and thought what the masses thought it meant till this day. i never really gave or thought about deeper meanings in lyrics till recently, and having someone else do the brainfart is pretty nice. thank you again!!
In the part where he talks about sunshine, I think it is meant to be taken more literally; the sun won’t always be here, and nor will humans, but right now, there’s a momentary beam of light (the sun) and humans should live every moment that they have.
thats a really genuinely good take. it can also be taken in another way, death. a common motif for death is seeing a (momentary) "beam of light" before you pass. the line had so many different interpretations, its so interesting to me and i love it so much.
Damn , what a deep and eye opening song , instead of questioning what comes after life ends , spend the time making sure you don’t have regrets when it does end
@@milt513man, this song literally states that the bible is meaningless and foolish as the believers The only way to interpret the song differently it's changing pretty much everything in this song, simple as that It's literally ignoring the reality of this song, Wich is kinda common on christians,thou they call it faith The holy blindfold
@nombre4138 The entire athiest belief system is built on trying to explain why the birth of the universe, or the universe before it, didn't create matter and break the basic laws of physics. We are tiny pockets of flesh that die so easily. and acting like we have any right to degrade other people over ideas our constantly faulting minds can't even fully comprehend nor prove, is what it is, acting. So I simply ask you, instead of insulting people for beliefs you cannot prove true or false based off your own unproven ideas, sit with them, get a drink, and have fun. We all are going to die anyway. Better to hope it's good.
Thanks, now i won’t be able to listen to this the same way again, and I’m so glad for that, I often experience this sense of existential dread of my end, but this video seems to be a little comforting in way when the song basically eludes to such themes. Thank you genuinely for explaining this to us idiots.
I will admit, I was definitely a fool, I think it’s purely because of the line ‘oh back when I was younger’ because it’s usually the part where most people pay attention when listening because the lyrics really sound more pronounced there, and if you don’t know the lyrics beforehand you’d expect it to just be a nostalgia song, I looked at the lyrics one day and paused and realised the song probably isn’t about nostalgia, and now I end up here, thank you for correcting my foolishness 👍
I like this song cuz in a country where Christianity is shoved down my throat by everywhere I look, even having to say under god in school, and having to learn about Christianity and Christian beliefs every single day, this song is a breath of fresh air
THANK YOU i LOOOVE the rare occasions but everyone only knows this song and THEY DONT EVEN GET THE MEANING RIGHTTTTT you are doing god's work even if i am 7 months late
no cause i went on every single little lyric video of notion and none of them even talked about the 'beliving ancient letters' line, for me its very obvious that its talking about religon, and i dont see why people didnt realize it sooner :
I love this song even more now that I know the true lyrics. I always saw the song in edits and things (and don't assume that I wasn't skeptical enough to realize that the song had a different meaning than it was presented as), and I never bothered looking up the lyrics until now! Thanks for making this video :)
I have never heard of this song outside of TikTok, but this video that definitely made me warm up to it. Good job explaining, cut and straight to the point.
That’s what I’m saying!

I've used this song to help tell a story about my lil character thing from it's meaning and like im also really frustrated how people arent really digging the whole futureproof album and like the message it tells and shit man. awesome work
thanks so much bro 🤜🤛
I think it's the beat that makes it nostalgic, not the lyrics. Like how Outkast's Hey Ya is considered upbeat despite being about breaking up - "Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance." The music feels nostalgic and that's what it's used for.
Unironically, this explanation made the song a ton lot more beautiful and poetic. Not because I didn’t understand it before, but because reading your explanation while listening to the song just triggered something in me. I’m not exactly atheist, but I don’t bow down to a god or anything. I believe in the existence of gods and stuff, just not like that.
I think this song invokes nostalgia because of the tune and beat, but also because inheritly, even if we all share a collective brain cell, our brain naturally decipher the words into the deeper meaning. We just don’t consciously know it, so we call it nostalgia. It makes us feel deep emotions that we can’t place or otherwise explain, let alone have experienced. Hell most of the ppl who use this song in edits probably aren’t over 20 (I’m not). We don’t have a lot to be THAT nostalgic for yet.
I loved this video. Good job.

I felt bros rage explaining the meaning of this song
real
Bro was ragebaiting so hard
@@Ahyes1 theres a difference between trying to get people to hate you and sarcastically being annoyed tho
This song is relatable for me. As an ex-Christian (now atheist) when I was a little kid in catholic school I had a lot of people tell me I’d go to hell. When I left the religion I ended up having existential crises and had trouble coping with the atheist concept of death which made me more depressed than I already was. Actually I’m still depressed and am still struggling with coping and I don’t like thinking about death but maybe if I live a happy life I won’t feel scared or sad about it anymore.
What I’m boutta say is kinda long but trust me, just read it.
Brother/sister please go back to Christianity. I understand u are depressed rn but your life will piece right back together if you put your faith in god. Trust me, and if you don’t, it’s fine, not much people are Christian nowadays sadly and I’m not gonna force religion on you. Also, if that catholic school you went to was telling you that you will be sent down to hell, that was NOT a catholic school which fits perfectly into the Bible verse of “Beware of false prophets”. Pls, rejoice with your savior Jesus, and you will overcome depression.
speaking as an ex catholic atheist who never really bought into it throughout their childhood, just do wha you wanna do in life (dont be crazy though)
Its not like choosing christianity an answer for him, its really to find meaning in life. And religions is just some guide on how to live one thats good, thats why its important to have a religion no matter which god you believe in.@@JustinSantisgp-or5un
Honestly, if i left my religion i would have more trouble with the concept of death that it just goes black.
Thats why i recommend you go around and try what people with religions (no matter which) do, see the benefit and the negative, then try to feel which you feel the most connection with.
Im a muslim so i would recommend you do some of the practices (dont join any religion if your unsure to, because its not permitted to randomly quit the religion and join another one just for benefit) you need to really believe in it.
Anyways i hope you overcome this trial brother. ❤
Here’s the thing; people often choose or reject religion to fix one problem in their life and that is it. The concept of death is frightening, but believing what you want to believe is not going to make you better. Religion is a way of life that honors God and all that is good, but some are so caught up in despair and fear they forget to love each other, and instead hate spread Christianity. Christianity is a loving and accepting life, but so many twist it.
HOW DID I NOT UNDERSTAND THE LRYICS IN THE FIRST PLACE 😭😭😭 Also thanks for the explanation, although I’m probably not gonna listen to this song anymore given that the meaning behind it contradicts with my beliefs 😅

When people hear the line “OH BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGERRR” they think, “oh this song is how he’s reflecting when he was young and the good times he had, songs have deep meanings and these little lines may not mean it’s about that one thing, but perhaps the entire song talking about something different.
Finnally some dude knows that this is an atheist(or something) song, like man, 0:25 is already obvious enough.
I just got recommended this and honestly your explanation pretty much kinda aligned with my own thoughts on the meaning of the song which correlates to the saying “momento mori” (remember you must die) and just as you did, I won’t say more cause really it’s just common sense + thorough listening, good shit man.

THANK YOU this take is so much better than what I thought this song was about. I CAN FINALLY LIKE THIS SONG
2:05 my interpretation (that fits more neatly within the song as a whole) is that the "sunshine" doesn't refer to happiness in life, but rather as life in whole apart from death, and that "this momentary beam of light" refers to this specific, finite life, so that the line as a whole means you won't live forever, but you can live now
edit: typo
momentary beam of LIGHT not LIFE, interesting interpretation tho
@@iExist543 no, the interpretation of finiteness of life is likely the correct one here given the nature of the song. "Sunshine" refers to to living another day, in this sense the metaphor refers to living in itself, There won't always be sunshine meaning you won't always be here to live (since sunshine means a new day), momentary beam of light then appreciates this "beam of light" as long as it is.
The other interpretation referring to ups and downs of life does not match well with the context of this song since the song talks explicitly about mortality.
I agree with you, to me it was like you won't have this perfect happy days even after death expecting sunshine and rainbows, life isn't gonna be enternal sunshines, it's just going to be another beam of light shining for a brief moment and you should cherish it.
1:26 "If you could pull the lever to carry on forever, would your life even matter anymore?"
My intepretation of this line is that if you have the prospect, the promise of living forever and happily in an afterlife or be ressurected to a time of perfection, what would be the point of living here anymore if there's a much better place just waiting for you?
Also this is exactly why I hate tiktok. They take short segments of songs, and people will only listen to THAT SEGMENT, and won't even listen to the full song to support their "favorite artist," and would prefer to listen to the lyrics videos or sped up audio edits. And no one actually listens to the lyrics; they just follow the trend. And it may sound odd, but humans have an interesting thing where we are attracted to things others are attracted to (a sadly hence as to why best friends are usually the ones to end up stealing your partners). So if you see a video- or a tiktok, i suppose- that has a lot of likes, you will probably like it too. The fact that so many people will claim that this is their "favorite song/artist" when they don't even actually listen to them fully or support the artists- it's genuinely infuriating. Also, please don't just take up after what other people say and make it your own truth. Discover things for yourself. Do your research.
edit: My personal favorite The Rare Occasions song is actually Futureproof. I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves.
exactly my interpretation, maybe i just didn’t word it well enough. and hey maybe ill do futureproof next if u want 🤷♂️

I have a friend who made a playlist for she and her girlfriend, and it had a song about a toxic relationship about it 😅
This is a swiftie level threat... also people do this type of things with other songs too, you do realize that right? they listen to the instrumental, not the actual lyrics themselves, which is why you catch people dancing to an upbeat song when the lyrics are in german talking about sex or something just as bad. People like the vibes the instrumentals bring, not the lyrics themselves 😭Put on your big boy pants here bucko... Because these "idiots" are people who are enjoying the song damn it 😭

I always was thinking about the second understanding of lyrics "the right one" (heaven bs stuff). But I think that the song still can be interpreted rightly and used as an nostalgia song, but definetly not by the part about being younger, more so by the "pull the lever, to carry on forever". It actually fits many medias, think about all the tvshows that are loved - they ended, in the right time too. When a show/game is going endlessly then its not appreciated as much as other things (I know you can feel nostalgic over old fortnite, or older seasons of a show, but its still in someway here, and doesnt "hurt" as much as the older series never returning (littlebigplanet, tt lego games, club penguin, whatever). As a non-native english speaker im also shocked by the illiteracy of the englishmen. You can literally hear in the "when i was younger part" that it literally is nothing about nostalgia. It could be literally used as a nostalgia song, and with deeper meaning, but some people are just dumb, and when you really think about it the part that is widely used just doesnt fit, and the fact that theres a part that could fit more - and would give an deeper meaning - is out there in this song, makes me feel something unexplainable. Conclusion: in the end, not even english people give a shit about english songs 😂
as a christian, who loves this song, thank you for explaining it i’ve seen so many “nostalgia” videos with this sound and it always makes me so mad when i see them.

REALL bro as someone raised in a family with major religious beliefs that I ended up rejecting, this is one of my favorite and most relatable songs, NOT A SOMG ABOUT NOSTALGIA 😭🙏
Saying this here hoping other people relate somehow- for awhile ive kinda been struggling with identity. And because of religion it made me think i HAD to belive in some sort of afterlife to find peace. But that made me more stressed, thats when i realized i didnt even belive in it. I kinda saw the idea of heaven and hell as some made up story tale. This song kinda helps me realize its ok to not follow a religion, its ok to think this way. And that i should try to just appreciate life and the good moments as it won't last forever and thats ok.

In the part where he talks about sunshine, I think it is meant to be taken more literally; the sun won’t always be here, and nor will humans, but right now, there’s a momentary beam of light (the sun) and humans should live every moment that they have.
thats a really genuinely good take. it can also be taken in another way, death. a common motif for death is seeing a (momentary) "beam of light" before you pass. the line had so many different interpretations, its so interesting to me and i love it so much.

The entire athiest belief system is built on trying to explain why the birth of the universe, or the universe before it, didn't create matter and break the basic laws of physics. We are tiny pockets of flesh that die so easily. and acting like we have any right to degrade other people over ideas our constantly faulting minds can't even fully comprehend nor prove, is what it is, acting. So I simply ask you, instead of insulting people for beliefs you cannot prove true or false based off your own unproven ideas, sit with them, get a drink, and have fun.
