Had a wonderful woman that I took for granted call me on a weekend playing this song on guitar for me. She was a gifted music teacher and just said hey I am going to learn guitar. She called at like 3 AM playing this song for me. She worked on it in one day and played it for me. I just blew her off because I was scared of commitment. Now she's married and I can't help wonder about her. Glad she was able to find someone that made her happy. This is a beautiful song and it's so fitting to our situation.
I don’t think so thanks for sharing. This song brings back so many memories for me while I was in college. If I could only go back in time.
"Its funny how the words we never say,can turn into the only thoughts we know" damn thats an amazing line
How is it possible for a human to create something so beautiful?
For me, it reminds me of my dad. We were estranged for the majority of my childhood. We briefly reconnected in my early 20s but I still had bitterness and resentment. I turned my back on having a relationship with him. He passed away 3 1/2 years ago from stage IV bladder cancer. He listed no next of kin and it was months later that we found out. For me, personally, this song describes our relationship...
A letter for the things that never start (our relationship)
Funny how the words we never say turn into the only thoughts we know...and I cannot believe I let you go. This is the deepest lyric for me. Everything I never said out loud, I say in my head over and over. I had the chance for a meaningful relationship and I turned by back and let him go.
The restless dream we left behind, I never will forget...what we could have had, will always be in my heart.
He is not a memory. He is my restless dream because I will never forgive myself. He wanted a relationship. He tried to make up, as best as he could, for lost time. He tried to live in the present. I couldn’t let the past go.
One of the best songs i've ever listened to.....Simply Amazing
Sometimes I think Andrew knows me and writes about my life cause I could swear this is straight from my own mind
There's definitely a much more melancholy tone and inflexion about his tunes compared to previous albums. To me, it just reveals the toll of what had been dealt to him. A reflection of his hollow success of returning to normalcy.
That's what makes the music beautiful, because things will never return to how they were, and we'll always momentarily have painful reminders of what once was. This is what makes us strong. It's what makes his music so powerful, the hollow reality of his mournful music.
i actually just discovered that there was a studio version of this song... for the past week straight i've been listening to the field recording live version... wow... learn something new every day!
my restless dream. So simple, so beautiful. I'm sure everyone can listen to this song with someone in mind.
this song reminds me of my friend. we still live in the same town and go to the same school but she hasnt talked to me for two months and it feels like she is a thousand miles away. she is a great friend and this song makes me think about how close we are but how one little mistake makes us so far apart.
It's 2022 and this song still hits hard..
This music really make me cry. How can be so nostalgic?
Never has a song more perfectly captured my feelings then this. I don’t think I could think of a more perfectly written song!
woah. what a combination. that video and that music - took me somewhere. far far away, and it felt good. I can sleep now
God I love this song. Hits me right in the feels every time I listen to it.
I loveeeee how much this video makes me think of The Little Prince!
i searched "prince" in hopes of finding such a comment
This song makes me cry. Such a beautiful song!
So weird to not have the piano on a song, but it is SO beautiful. Absolutely breathtaking...
These videos should have way more than 80,000 views.
Beautiful.
this film personifies the honesty of its lyrics
i love every song on people and things but i think this is my favorite
I came here because of that line :) It's nice to see i'm not the only one who appreciates it.
Favourite? Quite possibly.
This is one of those songs that I believe almost everyone can relate to.
I am loving this playlist!!!
I’ve loved Jack’s Mannequin and Andrew McMahon since I was in college and someone introduced me to Something Corporate. This is the song I love most. It’s always the person who you’ll never see or talk to again that you want to share this song with the most.
I know I’m late to the party and likely no one will read this but here’s how I interpret the video.
The guy in the desert is a metaphor for your memory. It wanders around finding random things and then firing off memories connected to those things, signified by the flares into the sky. Maybe it’s a place or an item but randomly his memory will fire off whatever is associated with it and it seems so real for just a moment.
In this video I think the photo is a photo of a girl that he once loved and maybe they were never together or it ended badly but he’s tried to bury her memory away. But every once in a while he finds, or sees, or hears, or even smells something that reminds him of her, symbolized in the video by his memory finding a photo of her. When his memory fires up the flare it is met with other flares or memories because of all the times he shared with her. But she’s out of his life now and it keeps him awake at nights thinking of all that was and could have been.
Anyway that’s my interpretation. I find the song nostalgic and heartbreaking. Maybe it’s because I’ve experience more loss than love in life but this song will forever be on my playlist.
This song seriously needs more views. Wtf?!!!
Stunning.
wonderful
this album is growing on me, but i think Glass Passenger is my favorite..big Jacks Mann fan regardless, looking forward to all his music! :)
Beautiful song! Love that Brandi Carlile is doing the background vocals
My girl lives in Austin, and yes, it is quite far away :) sigh
Who heard this song and was reminded of "Oh My Sweet Carolina" by Ryan Adams? Both beautiful, such a great melody, and Andrew's is different enough that I can appreciate both songs separately but I have to think that Andrew was somehow responding to that song, whether subconsciously or not.
I look back at the time this song came out and think about all the things I would’ve done differently...
There are windmills in the desert, meaning civilisation must be pretty close. Haha, either way, best music video I've seen in a while.
well said
What's going on in this video? So confused..
wow.
this video just killed my soul.
If you see Jordan, tell him he's forgiven.
I am Jack's missing hemorrhage.
you hurt me. killed me. ripped my heart out. you made me feel like never living again.
but i forgive you.
i will always love you...
Bob Dylan is still alive...
@taylorbranchcovers 'and never will forget'
it's like the human version of Wall-E how presh.
funny you mention that, cause it is better and has been for a couple months now.
beautiful,but its castaway in the desert
is it even necessary to mention the one dislike
One, two, three, four
I write you from this grounded airplane
I wonder how you've been and where you are
A letter to the one who slipped away
A letter for the things that never start
Oh my imagination running wild
Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met
Crazy, this fascination makes a sound like a twister in my mind
The restless dream we left behind I never will forget
It's funny how the words we never say
Can turn into the only thoughts we know
But Austin's just so very far away
And I cannot believe I let you go
Oh my imagination's running wild
Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met
Crazy, this fascination makes a sound like a twister in my mind
The restless dream we left behind I never will forget
This restless dream
And so I called you from the darkness of my room
You'll never be a memory, now you're a restless dream
A restless dream
And so I write to this address that I don't know
You said you had to leave and we lost track
So if you hear this on the radio
I've said it now and there's no turning back
Oh my imagination running wild
Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met
Crazy, this fascination makes the sound like a twister in my mind
The restless dream we left behind I never will forget
Anyone notice how this sounds like green days time of your life
this video makes me cry t.t
fuck dis shit! huhuhuhu xD
When I type "R" into the search bar this should be the first thing that shows up not fucking Rihanna.
