i really want to thank you for this song. i've been listening it since I was 13, and now being 16 I'm sill coming back to it. I remember being at lowest point in my life when some terrible things were happening to me, I was sitting next to my window watching the city by night and just listening to this masterpiece. It was helping me a lot, just you and your beautiful voices. "we are not afraid of who we are, but of what we have become". Sometimes I close my eyes and think about all these things that I've experienced and about who I am now. Thank you, Little May.
Four years later and it's still a bop! Yep, their music is so meaningful that it has taught me lessons as a young woman. I wish Little May the best in their career!
thats so cool! that show was so much fun. thanks for listening and for your kind words :) really appreciated. hopefully see you at castlecomer tomorrow night!?
My interpretation: "Somebody told me you were leaving town": You're leaving town to go away, but I'm not really surprised because I am too, and we all have to do it eventually."I swear I never thought you'd be the one to let me down": Even though I knew it would happen some day and everyone else has left, for some reason I thought you would stay with me forever. Saying I've been "Let down" but really you had to go eventually. "Fold this part": Life is like origami, everything and everyone we know or get attached to is trivial, meaningless almost, but essentially impermanent, and will blow away in the wind eventually. Also a reference to poker with a "Fold" meaning I give up and I'll let you go. "Unfold this part": I've undone all we did together, again with the origami reference, and while I've undone my "Fold" (i.e. I've stopped giving up and I want you back) it's too late. "Sticking to the walls sticking to this one way street": We're trying to cling to anything we can to hold us together and keep us tied to where we came from and where our memories are. In the midst of all this we cling to the most trivial, inconsequential things like the road layout in our town. "You could never run but you said you'd run with me": As people we were broken and imperfect, but together we complimented each other, made up for our weaknesses and lived fast and free together. I helped you live a full life and you did the same to me. "Hold this heart": I gave you my heart to keep, to remind you of me, and to keep me tied to you so we wouldn't forget each other and we always could find each other again. You were my reason and ability to live. Also hold as in stop: I'd rather die than have to live with the crushing pain of losing you every day for a lifetime. "And I will not fall hard this time": I've been hurt too many times in the past by falling for people who said they'd catch me, and now that you're not here I have to be strong and keep myself up. Even when I find my way back to you I won't fall in the same way we fell for each other before. "Cause' we are not afraid of who we are but of what we have become": We know who we are underneath, but we're afraid that person is buried under our pain from life and from separation over the years. We almost don't want to meet again, not because we won't know each other any more, but because we don't want to hurt each other by having to leave again. As long as we keep moving and don't look back we can ignore this fear of ourselves and try and live a life without each other. "And we are not afraid of what's to be when this road has just begun": Again, keeping moving forward, no matter what's there, is better than stopping or looking back to what we did, the times we had, and the people we used to be. We have a long life ahead of ourselves and as long as we focus on all the possibilities we will always be less afraid than if we could see the pain within ourselves, that we're not together and we'll never have times like those again. "So we will turn our backs and close the door for the last time": We've made our decisions and we've chosen to turn on our past forever, heading to the future, and shutting the door behind us so our past, and the painfully sweet memories can't follow us through and hurt us anymore. "Give me back what's mine": I'm taking my heart back and moving on because I can't bear to remember you, because of the crushing pain of looking back at who we were, and knowing that we'll never be those people in those moments again. This song is a goodbye to someone who, for all the pain they'll cause, will always be in my heart.
As the writer of this song I feel so amazing reading this, you’ve really hit the nail on the head too. Thank you for listening and for this beautiful interpretation :) xxx Liz Drummond
I've been listening to this song since I was 14. I'm 22 now. This song got me through the worst and best memories of my life and It'll forever be one of my absolute favorites.
I watched the Movie "Twinsters" (Which I Loved!!!).... and this song was in it. I just couldn't get this song out of my head... and I didn't want to. So happy to have figured out who did it. Its wonderful, and so perfect for this movie... so important to it...it just radiates positiveness, hope, unbridled optimism and happiness ... This song, and the movie, just flat out makes me feel good.... Thank you
Omg!I'm fangirling right now haha,thank you so much for replying,I can't wait for the day other people start seeing your amazing talent.It's obvious you work so hard.Thanks again for replying!xxx
I discovered this song today in Spotify. Amazing! It reminds me the farms far away from cities, where the sun can hit your face in a cold winter morning. In love with the song and the memories that it brings me...
This song makes me feel better when I’m at my lowest just a few days ago me and a friend got into a fight ,I went to this song Bc it is literally the best song , after I listened to it , I sent the link to the friend I got in a fight with , she and me are still freinds but she told me she’s listening to this song from now on, little may y’all are the best ❤️
Listened to this this growing up. Funny story I made my crush learn to play it on his guitar so I could “sing along” bc I’ve been singing along to this since forever but I chickened out last minute. At least he learned to play this legendary song on guitar lol🤦♀️😂
those 4/4 at 2:34, with those 4 drum hits (in which the shots change in rhythm) give you an incredible boost and prepare you for that musical attack right after it that fills you with emotions .. great song! one of the most beautiful I've heard in recent times! very good!
The voices handcraft an artful sound, with the tones, the subtle pronunciation and the ensemble in harmonics. It is nice to hear it. But if you really listen to the details, to me this is a little gem.
This song is so beautiful. I listen to this song when my mind goes to dark places and I feel calm. Thank you so much for saving me and a lot of others who feel like your music is the only place we can hide and feel safe. Keep writing songs like this!
Wow! I've JUST heard this song for the 1st time and I love it! I searched it on Spotify and now it'll be played every day for the foreseeable future. I can't believe it's so old and I've never come across it before 😳 It's the closing song on Tim Minchin's TV series 'Upright' which I've just finished 🇦🇺👍🏻
there this app that is karaoke which is i'm using back 2017 or 2018. and ofc it has instrumental karaoke. i didn't know this song that time i found this on that karaoke app, but since the instrumental are just good i tried singing it without knowing the tone of the song if i'm right or i'm not singing it correctly. until i remember it as in right now, and i searched it, and this mv is what i found after searching it. i'm like shocked and happy because i never thought i'm singing the song correctly and happy because i found it by remembering the name of the 'little may' loveya'll, this is so top tier for me. i really really LOVESSSS ITTTT
you guys sound heavenly, the feeling when you listen to a song and it makes shiver all over and it calms you at the same time. I got that. You are amazing. Love yall
Hello, I have recently been listening to your fantastic songs and I have started to do covers of them for school. I live in England and unfortunately am not able to come and see you at any of your concerts 😪 I've shared your songs on social media. I adore your music. You are my inspiration. Thank you for creating such beautiful music. Yours faithfully Fan girl
You guys are absolutely beautiful. The energy you radiate has got my attention intensely like there is a message I need to receive 🙏 I love the whole dynamics and feeling to this, you are all magic and I love you ❤️
Hey, I don't know if you'll see this comment but I first heard this song in 2013 when you released it and it's brought me great joy ever since. It helps me smile and helps me cry when I need to. Thank you x

Twinsters brought me here. Gosh. This song is so delicate and beautiful. I think this song defines what youth is!
