Lucerin Blue - “This Letter”
"I’m sorry time has hurt you" is a line in this song. Thankfully, that’s not a statement I can make about "This Letter" ten years after it was released.
This is a song about missing a person (possibly more than one person). It’s about being far away from where you really want to be. I’m not gonna try to piece together the lyrics to try to guess a particular situation the writter is referencing. It could be a soldier stationed away from his family. It could be a musician on tour. Whatever the situation, you can feel the pain and longing in both the lyrics and the music.
The song is perfectly beautiful from beginning to end. The guitar parts throughout the song are particularly spectacular. At the 3:30 mark “This Letter” moves from a great song to an amazing display or post-hardcore melancholy.
Take a listen and see that “This Letter” is worth being written about.
