The Man Who Isn't There
from The Opposite Side Of The Sea by Oren Lavie
lyrics
Look at the sky
It belonged to a guy
That I know
And I thought I forgot
Long ago
Look at the trees
Didn’t stop at the top
Not for him
Used to borrow the wind
For a walk
Look in his eyes for a dying flare
Look for the wind in his yellow hair
And pretend you
See the man who
Isn’t there
Look at the sea
Used to save all his waves
For hellos
Used to climb
Up his highs, down his lows
Look at the birds
Used to flock as he walked
Through the street
Used to fly down
And march at his feet
Look in his eyes for a dying flare
Look for the wind in his yellow hair
And pretend you
See the man who
Isn’t there
Look in his eyes for a dying flare
Look for the wind in his yellow hair
And pretend you
See the man who
Isn’t
There.
It belonged to a guy
That I know
And I thought I forgot
Long ago
Look at the trees
Didn’t stop at the top
Not for him
Used to borrow the wind
For a walk
Look in his eyes for a dying flare
Look for the wind in his yellow hair
And pretend you
See the man who
Isn’t there
Look at the sea
Used to save all his waves
For hellos
Used to climb
Up his highs, down his lows
Look at the birds
Used to flock as he walked
Through the street
Used to fly down
And march at his feet
Look in his eyes for a dying flare
Look for the wind in his yellow hair
And pretend you
See the man who
Isn’t there
Look in his eyes for a dying flare
Look for the wind in his yellow hair
And pretend you
See the man who
Isn’t
There.

I think the most comfort I've felt in this life was being fifteen and playing this game at 2am. Words cannot describe how much this game meant to me

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe.
