Am I here? Of course I am, yes All I need is your hand to drag me out again

Artist- Frightened Rabbit
Song of the day- The loneliness and the scream

I've had this song on repeat today after spending a good hour and 3 half albums looking for what musical mood I was in. And it was a very frightened rabbit mood. The song is very different then most songs about loneliness that are more static and dark where this one has a kinetic feel which is so unique and persevering that always makes my step slightly quicker when I listen to it, like I'm running to get out of it, running towards the scream. And just when I thought I couldn't love the songs lyrics, clapping and chanting more, I saw the video and it just about broke my heart to little pieces and made me want to buy aviator goggles at the same time. It captures something so perfect and tragic and happy and mad in an everyday life that you know you've passed by this person tons of times and though you've never seen their entire day, know this is what they are experiencing just by looking into their eyes. and man old men just kill me. so here's to the loneliness and the scream we run towards or away from.



Can you hear the road from this place?
Can you hear footsteps, voices?

Can you see the blood on my sleeve?
I have fallen in the forest
Did you hear me?

In the loneliness
oh the loneliness and the scream
to prove to everyone that I exist
in the loneliness
oh the loneliness and the scream
to bring the blood to the front of my face again

Am I here?
Of course I am, yes
All I need is your hand
to drag me out again

It wasn't me, I didn't dig this ditch
I was walking for weeks
before I fell in

To the loneliness
oh the loneliness and the scream
to prove to everyone that I exist
in the loneliness
oh the loneliness and the scream
to fill a thousand black balloons with air

Fall down, find God
just to lose it again
glue the community together
we were hammering it

Fell down, found love
but I can lose it again
but now our communal heart
it beats miles from here
