outside are falling leaves

Since I was a kid, there are two songs by Josh Groban that have never left my head for some reason. The first is "Brave" and the other is "False Alarms". But as much as I love the first, I'm strangely attached to the second one. Even after my first listen when I was nine, there was something about the song that made me like it very very much.


I think one of those reasons is the feeling that I get when listening to it. A strange hopeless yet happy emotion. Like sacrificing something good for something greater. I always imagine a person letting go of the person they love because of, well, love. I think the meaning of the song itself is way different though. Another reason, which is more recent, is because it gives "credit song for a post-apocalyptic/dystopian film/show" type of vibe. I've had my fair share of apocalyptic/dystopian stories but this song makes me imagine something much brighter? If that makes sense for a pretty dark theme. I guess that's where the "sacrifice for something better" part comes in.

Anyway, I just wanted to type this out because I've never really put into words how this song made me feel. Now I can, thankfully, and just did,.

....Okay, I think I'm done. Back to listening to the song for the nth time.
