    "If I can't get the things I want

    Whenever I see people travelling late at night in buses or trains alone, I always think where are they going? Do they have families/friends? I don't know but I think this. I just wish people to have what they really need in life.
    I was sleeping on these amazing artists and songs, I never knew before. I am finding some underrated artists and they feel at home for some reason.

    I took a girl to see them live with me in Austin this last year. We had originally met at a cafe. She was dressed in a beautiful blue/white striped dress. We talked briefly and exchanged information. It was the best conversation Id had with someone in so long, I didnt want to leave. We kept in touch over the weeks and I finally worked up enough courage to ask her out. From what I understood from her she was in a healing phase. And so I wanted her to have that moment and me just there to support her. After the show we walked and talked for almost an hour. She told me she wanted me to hold her at one point in the show. And I wish I had.

    Someday, when I'm in New York, I'll wake up at 6, get dressed and get some coffee. I'll go walking and let the roads lead me. I'll watch the sunrise, have breakfast on the window seat of some diner. I'll take the metro, walk around, people watch the entire day and listen to music.
    I'll watch the city lights late at night at the terrace of some building, and return home content, alive and tired.
    Best day of my life.

    my first time i was in new york city, i was newly sixteen and not sure about anything i wanted in life. i remember strolling for hours through the freezing air of brooklyn, down through williamsburg and over the bridge into manhattan. i had never been on the subway before and took the wrong train a couple of times. but when i realised i was headed in the wrong direction i would stay in my seat for a while and then get out at the next most lively station to do it all over again. it was a strange feeling to have nowhere to be and to watch all the people rushing past, each leading a different life. this song makes me feel the air and lights of the city.

    Sometimes I want so much happiness for other people in my life and then I get depressed at the fact that they won’t be as happy as I want to see them.
    Sometimes I’ll see past all the smiles and see in their soul that they aren’t where they want to be. Lost in what everybody else is doing.
    Sometimes I just want to sleep and not feel what everybody else is feeling.

    This song is for all the lost lonely souls up at 2am considering texting that ex or that crush. Praying that the feelings will be reciprocated. Longing for that feeling of warmth and love. A love that helps you sleep at night. The kind that when you feel it you sigh with content. And relax knowing that you are loved that you are special to someone. It makes those moments you dont forget. You cling to them. You want them to last for forever. There is no greater feeling. So for all the wandering souls out there. Take that chance. In the end no matter if they outcome goes the way you want it you'll get what you need.

    • @siamulislam8213

      Yeah. I took the chance. That was over a year ago. We never got back together. I dont think she even loves me anymore, I dont know for sure how she feels about me. But I could never stop loving her. She's the one girl that I truly loved and I never felt the way about anyone else as I did for her. The aura that used to linger in her presence, that's something I can't put out in words. I really wish I could stop loving her and clinging to our history or her memory, but I can't un-love someone. It hurts. It hurts a lot at times.

    • @siamulislam8213
      @siamulislam8213 4 года назад +13

      But this is not meant to discourage someone from taking a chance. Its completely opposite. Take the chance if you have it! Even if the probability of rejection is 100%. At least you wont have to live with any regrets for your old age. Go talk to that person, see how they react. Dont miss out on chances in life. There's room for mistakes, but there's no room for regrets. Besides, even if you get rejected, you can sleep peacefully knowing that you are now free.

    A scenario i picture in my head that id like to live someday when I listen to this song:
    I live in a big city alone with no relations, family & friends live in another country, i work full time with 1 day off every week but nobody knows about that one day, its a secret day all to myself, so i put my phone on do not disturb, grab my earphones, some money & my jacket then head out of my apartment, no ID no license nothing that can label or identify me, no one knows me and i know no one, its the afternoon and i step out of my building, the low sun's weak rays hit my face and reflect off my eyes as i start to walk aimlessly, i take a different road every week, and always get of on different bus or train stops, i meet random people and share a cigarette with them while exchanging life stories, then we say goodbye with no commitment between us, i walk around drinking coffee here and there until my legs are sore, but i still continue walking, trying to hold on to this liberating feeling, this thing that makes me feel like i have no attachments, no responsibilities, like im not part of anything, just peacefully observing the world through a window, taking in everything slowly, until the city streets start to get empty and the lights start to go out, thats when i head back home to my apartment building, and go to the roof to have a few cigarettes & a great view of the city infront of me, sometimes i see the janitor and we share a cig and talk about his day, i go back to my apartment, wear my pajamas, open the window and tuck myself under the blanket & fall asleep, wake up to work early in the morning and look forward to doing all of this again next week

    Waiting down at the station

    I think it was late then
    Standing, always so quiet
    We’re like elevators
    Filled up with strangers
    [Chorus]
    No sound, no Hallelujahs
    Still I was praying on the train ride home
    If I can't get the things I want
    If I can't get the things I want
    Just give me what I need
    [Verse]
    Our words fill up the pages
    Fill up the days with
    Songs for the ages
    Still those vows that we all speak
    We break them like concrete
    And just make our words cheap
    [Chorus]
    I want someone to grow with
    Songs I can sing to
    And a family to cling to
    But if I can't get the things I want
    If I can't get the things I want
    Just give me what I need

Everything changed, and I always try to convince myself that things have changed for the better future, even if it hurts a lot to realize that some of the old feelings are never getting back. There’s no one to blame. Hearts are broken and healed, and there are often moments that show true beauty in people around me, and I’m also deeply loved and in love. However somehow I just miss the old time, the time that I barely knew anything about this world and lived with a golden, care-free heart. This song brings me back to this time like a train.

    Often times we find ourselves lost and caught up in our own little world wondering how we all fit into this one big puzzle. Instead of it being a puzzle it’s actually a painting; a painting in which we all control what direction the next stroke the paint brush takes because we are the painter. As true artists we don’t have a specific image in mind we just express how we feel at the time and it takes our minds to a special place. Remember it’s not about the destination or how you get there, however it is about the journey and the experiences you gain out of them. I hope all of you reading this comment have a great day or night and enjoy the journey as well.

Sometimes it makes me feel empty because people around me don’t get it, then I think about it and realize they’re the ones that are empty inside for not feeling those things.

    Just listened to this album on Spotify the other day and I absolutely enjoyed it. The music reminds me of what is unachievable while the visual aspect brings up the curiosity of seeing a stranger in the street or while traveling. To many including myself it can be seen as an unknown story that may or may not be similar to your own and I believe you have captured and recorded that very well. Always glad to see new work from you guys it inspires me and many more. Keep up the brilliant work.

    Only to lose what you came to find.
    Empty your soul in the depths of the city,
    Fill your heart with a longing for the melancholy.
    I'm a train ride away from home.
    A home somewhere in this city.

    City Lights
    We aye value the smallest things in life:
    Talking about mystics of afterlife,
    Having a sip of coffee in cities,
    And staring at stars across the abyss.
    Along a narrow street of a city,
    We're walking under the sky so cozy.
    In that street we saw people moving by,
    And buildings and parlors scatter'd nearby.
    The city was brimm'd with blithe neon lights,
    Enough to supersede the sky's starlights.
    We knew that human civilization
    Already reach'd a far great progression.
    Somewhere there we perch'd in a park seating,
    And calmly we watch'd time for its passing.
    Myriad of moments occuring by chance,
    And ourselves were gone in this circumstance.
    We've to smile even the life is fleeting,
    For our being has subjective meaning.
    There is nothing to do but to accept
    And to cherish gladly the time's precept.
    Our deep talk led us to the life's secret,
    Like in the sky a wandering comet.
    Lost in the city lights we found our hearts
    Being pleased by what fate for us imparts.
    Long hours had pass'd and the time quickly flew.
    You smiled at me and I too smiled at you.
    Though the world has its own absurdity,
    I'll still hold your hand with delight fairly.

    I have penned down a few lines inspired by this song. If it makes you smile, then my job is done :)
    The man plays the trumpet,
    A music, bittersweet,
    At the empty station,
    Surrounding walls of concrete.
    The trains rush past,
    Making a flurry of sound,
    I see the reflections of the stars
    And citylights all around.
    A train stops right where I stand,
    I mindlessly get inside,
    I am too lost in my thoughts,
    To care for that ride.
    I walk alone, on my way home,
    Snowflakes glinting on my hair,
    The world's cold for people like me,
    All strangers everywhere.
    I go back to the station,
    The distant lights are a charm,
    I have found a home in them,
    Citylights keep me warm.

    do some of you guys know this feeling when there is someone you just can't be together with, because it hurts too much and it just doesn't work, but you cannot stop thinking about them? Like, I wonder what this is.. if it is just in my head, or i don't know, maybe we are supposed to be together, one day, when we are ready for it, but i cannot tell.. this song just purely outspeaks what I am feeling, the feeling of not being able to get what you want, but just what you need. I don't know, I don't know who you are, perhaps you still think of me, like I think of you, I am quite sure about that. And I am happy that at least I get the things I need, even if it means growing and being alone, and being able to find myself and who I am and the love I have for myself, and that is only possible if I am not with you. But still, you are always here, and I think about you always, not knowing what this is..

    Lovely song. Listening to it, I am always taken back to 2018, a 23 year old touring Europe alone after saving up. I took the trains/buses/walked a lot, i was just a wanderer for 1+ month. Whenever i took the wrong train (happened a lot!), i always sat back and enjoyed the ride since i had nothing else to do but explore, watching people as they rushed off the train to work/school while I just sat there. It was great. I learnt a lot about myself, understood some cultures better, and met amazing people while on this journey. Although i experienced some low points and prejudices in some countries, I repeated this trip in 2019 for another month. I will do it again, but this time I'm bringing this song with me💜
