alt-J - Hunger Of The Pine (Official Video)

The definition of pine used here is not the tree, but the verb meaning to “suffer a mental and physical decline, especially because of a broken heart.” The lyrics mainly suggest the idea that missing someone — pining — can be a physical pain much like hunger."

for anyone wondering, the background vocals at the end are singing 'une immense espérance a traversé la terre, une immense espérance a traversé ma peur' which means 'A great hope has crossed the earth , A great hope has crossed my fear'. it's a quote from Alfred de Musset’s poem L'espoir en Dieu (Hope in God), it's a really nice poem, i recommend reading it

Alt-J isn't meant to be heard ... it's meant to be felt.

"You Never truly defeat your inner Demons, you only learn to live among them" The arrows symbolize the pains and injuries, some hurt him, others don't, but no matter what, he keeps going. In the beginning he has places to hide behind the trees, but as he grows, he leaves the forest to enter the grassland, leaving him without cover. That's where he gets most of his wounds. He ultimately choses to stop running and face his fears. He accepts his fate, surrenders all of itself, and stands up tall, making him invincible. The arrows of fire symbolize the rebirth and purification (by the fire). The end is a new beginning... (Notice that you never see the inner Demons (the archers), they don't have a personification.) A Masterpiece

This guy: gets shot through the chest keeps running Me: gets cramp in a toe gets ready for death

Bruh what did you do to piss off every elf in middle earth.

"realization grew on me as quickly as it takes your hand to warm the cold side of the pillow" it hits everytime.

Such a good song, really made the Light No Fire game trailer shine. Absolutely hyped for this game, and so happy to have found a new favorite artist!

"Archers hate him! Watch what simple trick he used!"

Lesson of the day: Never steal shit from Legolas.

This is what I felt surviving a mental illness. Manic depression from a brain injury. Every emotional blow was ten times the emotions it should have been and I felt like I was constantly wounded. I was always pouring compassion into others while I tried healing my incredible pain. My heartaches created constant sufferings, from others who betrayed or tried to hurt me and childhood. I would cry for hours regularly and then I made it all stop. You feel very triumphant when you heal something that severe. Like a king or a great warrior pulling yourself through every devastating experience. Every arrow a emotional wound aimed to break you down. But you keep running to survive to be strong to give your soul strength. To end the suffering. Until you're not afraid of death and rebirth anymore. You're not afraid of it. You have conquered the suffering. The arrows don't scare you and you're willing to feel them through and you won't let them take your soul. You'll go down by your own strength not any others. In other words no one gets to take you down only you. Therefore you are victorious. You'll fight until the end and you'll reach release on your own terms.

Who's here for light no fire? 🔥🔥

gets shot in the heart ... "i don't need that anyway" Keeps moving forward

Rickon could learn something from this guy...
