One of my favorite songs off of Londinium, Archive’s “Again.”

The original song is a commitment-listen, stacking in at 16:20.  It’s filled with mostly musical interludes, but once it crescendos and gets going, it’s an indomitable piece of music.  The lyrics connect with anyone who’s left a long-term relationship or been broken up with.  The song commiserates with that feeling of lonliness and desperation, especially when that person is just beyond your reach…

Um, yeah, let’s just say that it has really helped today.

Rad video for the single is below, with lyrics beneath that.  Get out your old photo album and whip out the Kleenex.  Enjoy.

LYRICS:

You’re tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
You used to lift me up
Now you get me down
If I
Was to walk away
From you my love
Could I laugh again ?
If I
Walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again ?
Again, again…

You’re killing me again
Am I still in your head ?
You used to light me up
Now you shut me down
If I
Was to walk away
From you my love
Could I laugh again ?
If I
Walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again ?

I’m losing you again
Like eating me inside
I used to lift you up
Now I get you down

Without your love
You’re tearing me apart
With you close by
You’re crushing me inside
Without your love
You’re tearing me apart
Without your love
I’m dazed in madness
Can’t lose this sadness
I can’t lose this sadness

Can’t lose this sadness

You’re tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
Without your love
(you used to lift me up)
You’re crushing me inside
(now you get me down)
With you close by
I’m dazed in madness
Can’t lose this sadness
It’s ripping me apart
It’s tearing me apart
I don’t know why
Without your love
It’s tearing me apart
