The Stills - Being Here

Artist: The Stills
Song: Being Here
Album: Oceans Will Rise
Year: 2008


"Somewhere singing songs about a girl I hurt, I've been everywhere enough, I've been torn apart by the world, but there's apples in the trees and diamonds in the earth, I've been losing my mind, somehow it can't get worse..."


*A QUICK COMMENT: Today as I was running and this was playing, I began to think that with the right amount of pyrotechnics or the right light work this could have been an awesome song for a stadium-sized gig. 

For me the song, as the title states, is about being alive, here, and the perks of it, and I don't know why but to me it goes beyond the mere fact of our existence as individuals in this time, it goes far behind, to the cavemen. I know, it sounds weird but I could easily see this song on a short video with a collage of humanity throughout time, depicting the perks of being alive.
