I hear this song everywhere....and ok...I get it. Some hipster that's semi-british with a voice that sounds like Randy Newman's long lost offspring sings a song.

That's just fine....but I wish this song had more mixed lyrics or was simply 30 seconds long so the same verses don't repeat so much. It is too repetitive to last. It's about to make me stop listening to radio because it's already way overplayed. The ultimate was the other day....I was in a business lunch a few weeks back and it started playing on the radio in the restaurant....then a lady at another table's cellphone rang. (guess what her ringtone was...)

I can't wait for this one to die. What makes me sad is that it's going to be played in song mixes for years to come even because of its short-lived popularity.
 
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
Will you let her go?

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

I had no idea what the hell you were talking about. I thought this thread was about some traffic accident.

Son, you need Mavis Beacon.

Unless you actively listen to the song yourself on your own radio/phone/computer, seems to me like you wouldn't actually hear it all that much.

Aaand once again AT incorrectly uses the term hipster.

The problem is that hipster-isms have crossed over, and there's a lot of pop shit that is derived from hipster stuff (seriously the last like 5 years it seems like pop culture has largely been trying to ape hipsterisms). Of course hipster is a fairly meaningless term in that its fairly arbitrary to begin with (especially if you consider there's two distinct ways to view it, in the normative sense of what hipster means and in the ironic sense that most people use as the hipster label for those that are trying specifically to shun what's popular) and changes over time.

I'd agree that this guy isn't hipster, but I could forgive the OP for feeling that way as that indie style was very hipster ish a few years back, now its just normal. There's quite a bit that I'd say is (or rather was) hipster-ish (skinny pants, buttoned up but not really "dressy" shirt, not manicured beard paired with disheveled hair, nothing special acoustic guitar and keyboard paired with distinct vocal). Plenty of that wouldn't be hipster at all (and has been around forever), its more the cumulative effect. But since that's become popular its not hipster in either way as its not trendy since that's already trended, and its not ironic as its still popular. Now if the guy went out in gold chains and a track suit and sang like that, yeah that'd be hipster.
 
I haven't heard the song on the radio in several weeks. I think this post is a bit late. I must admit that I am sick of it at this point, though.

I meant no disrespect. I just didn't know another word to express a dude wearing a pink shirt, capri pants, and flip flops in an alleyway that isn't Andy Dick.

You think that song is too repetitive? Try that damn "I'm so happy" song or whatever it's called. There are only like 10 words to the song and they repeat the same line for the whole damn song. So dumb.
 
I think I've only heard this once before, and it was during the Superbowl. But man, 240 million views on Youtube...
