I’ve always loved writing story songs, and using tales of other people as a way into making music and talking about my experiences in life. Over the last few years, I’ve been working on a whole load of songs about people who I think are fascinating, and whose lives really spoke to me. I wrote these songs at my kitchen table, so they needed to sound homemade, and intimate, and warm. For me, it’s been the most brilliant, fun, and chilled process, while also trying to do justice to the lives and stories of these amazing people. And now, I’m really excited to start sharing it with you.

Eyes by Bastille

This is every use of the word "Eye" and variations in Bastille songs (and covers + Dan's solo work). I may be missing something but I tried my best.

It uses variations of the songs too, but not ALL of them cause that's just much lol. Ironically the song with a music video with a lot of eyes (Blame) doesn't have the word, but I used the picture of eyes from it lol. Naturally the easiest one to compile was Weight of Living Pt. I and the hardest was Starry Eyed with 12 😭

Here they are in order of apperence:

Poet 4x Family Ties 4x Haunt 1x Haunt (Dan's version) 1x Weight of Living Pt. I 8x The Draw 2x What Would you Do? 1x Skulls 1x Run for Trouble 1x Eight Hours 2x Pompeii 6x Irreverence 1x Starry Eyed 12x Bite Down 1x Thelma and Louise 4x Back to the Future 2x Give me the Future 1x Those Nights 2x Joy 1x Laura Palmer 1x Good Lesson 1x Basement 2x Drop it like it's Royal Mashup 1x Fake It 2x Good Grief 1x I don't want to miss a thing / It's the End of the world as we know it 3x Send Them Off! 1x Thinkin Ahead 1x Two Evils 1x Warmth 1x Would I Lie to You? 7x Falling 1x Forever Ever 1x Pompeii MMXXIII 6x Free 1x Love Don't Live Here 1x Requiem for Blue Jeans 1x Sweet Pompeii 3x Killing Me Softly with His Song 1x Beating Heart (Laura Palmer Demo) 1x Laura Palmer Simlish Version (Sims 3 Supernatural) 1x

September 9, 2016: Bastille’s second album, was released.

Our personal favorite ❤️ Love this masterpiece so much (and keep thinking it deserves even more recognition that it already has 🥹).

Happy 7 years to the beauty that is “Wild World”!! 🥳🎊

[radiofreederry]

Pompeii by Bastille is ten years old this year. It’s hard to imagine. So much has changed since then, both in music and the world at large.

…

But if you close your eyes,

Can’t believe it’s been five years of Wild World. Probably one of the best album of all time and I’m not taking criticism on that.

This is your friendly reminder to go and watch Bastille's ReOrchestrated at Elbphilharmonie again

This just blows me away every single time

[bloody-wild-doomdays]

what still fucks me up is that there’s still no Bastille song that’s completely happy. Sure, Admit Defeat and Club 57 are upbeat and about love, but there’s still a tinge of sadness to them, as if the narrator has doubts about an actual relationship forming. The Silence and Flaws are self deprecating and upbeat, but there’s nothing that explicitly suggests that the narrator is speaking to a love interest, it could just be platonic. And don’t get me started on all of the songs about relationships falling apart or the lover beinf unobtainable. There’s something that’s so melancholic about Bastille’s music- even in the happiest of songs, there’s still a nagging doubt or a sad musical note that doesn’t let the listener be in a complete state of romantic euphoria. It’s tragically and beautifully depressing

[bloody-wild-doomdays]

Ok fair point, I forgot about Shut Off The Lights.

But it still doesn’t strike me as a love song? There’s no mention of love at all and he refers to the other person as a “friend”

Sleepsong // Bastille

[of-monsters-and-werewolves]

Give Me The Future (album, not the song) can be summarised as 'the world's fucked, and Dan wants to be too - preferably by an android.'

[urshowercurtain]

Bastille really put their whole basbussy into "Stay Awake?"
