It&#8217;s definitely music for introverts, like myself. One of my favorite shoegaze bands is Slowdive. I&#8217;ve never heard this Slowdive song before until tonight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just reading the comments in this video from people whose lives have been touched by this song has moved me to tears. It&#8217;s beautiful to read how this song has affected people. One person spared his life from suicide. Another regretted all the time spent in youth feeling sorry for himself and regretted not spending more time with others. Another commenter urges others to become a better, positive part of others&#8217; lives, even strangers. It&#8217;s amazing what an affect such beautiful music can have on others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">I can see you laughing<br>Through dreams of perfect sleep<br>Sleep away from me<br>You know what&#8217;s in my mind<br>When you go, I&#8217;m crying<br>Dream, dream away from me<br><br>Let the Lord embrace you<br>Bow down, spare the reed<br>When I close my eyes<br>Your fate shall be free<br>When I see you drowning<br>I&#8217;ll dream, dream away from you<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God bless.
