This is my favorite song of all time. I never really associated it with love, heartbreak, or even another person. I always found it to be about feelings. One being nostalgia. I think it’s about the negative feelings. Sadness, anxiety, etc. I attributed it to my personal feelings. I have an anxiety disorder. I feel like the ‘oh simple thing, where have you gone?’ Bit is a nod to how life used to be more simple. Or a longing for the past. ‘I’m getting old and I need something to rely on’ Saying that as you get older, you stop looking at things through rose tinted glasses. And you realize that the world isn’t what you thought it was. So, you might try and grip onto things, and have vices. This version gives it a bit of a different feeling to me. I feel it’a about reflecting on those negative feelings. Sort of finding a new hope, in a sense. It seems sort of melancholy, but at the same time, you get a feeling of acceptance. Accepting that life isn’t how it was, and instead of wishing for things to be how they used to be, accepting those feelings as they come to pass. Not grabbing onto the relics of the past, and instead, coping with the feelings and emotions and recognizing them as human. And, finding comfort within that. That’s how I see the original and this cover. I’ve loved this song for a very long time, and connect with it on a deeply personal level. I love how this gives it a new feeling, and another perspective. Because, there are multiple ways to look at something. Whether it be a positive outlook or not, is up to you. And that feelings are fluid and human. I’ve always loved this song because those hard to describe feelings are portrayed so perfectly. And it’s comforting, in a way. Knowing that those feelings are understood.❤️
