Memorized the mantra confucius said, tried absolution of the mind and soul
Oh and the answer, memorized the mantra confucius said Jake, tried liberation of my own free will
memorized the mantra confucius said
Something as simple as this, memorized the mantra confucius said
tried to find it in a bottle
Tried to find it in a bottle, it only taught me what i should not know, went looking for reverence
Something as simple as this, god knows how i could have missed
oh and the answer well how could i miss
saw all seven wonders
But it only let me down, but it left me looking to get higher still Jake, high on a hash pipe of good intent
Tried to find it in a bottle, god knows how i could have missed
Tried to find it in a bottle, but it left me looking to get higher still Bugg, could be something as simple as this
something as simple as this
but it left me looking to get higher still
High on a hash pipe of good intent, tried liberation of my own free will
but it left me looking to get higher still
Tried liberation of my own free will, it only led me where i should not go
all the while you were stood here waiting
Who would have guessed, could be something as simple as this
God knows how i could have missed, trying to make some sense As, trying to make some sense
and came back again
Saw all seven wonders, travelled to each ocean s end
Could be something as simple as this, tried absolution of the mind and soul
god knows how i could have missed
"Simple As This"
I've been in search of stones
Making up the pavement of less traveled roads
Mining for treasure deep in my bones
That I never found
Went looking for reverence
Tried to find it in a bottle
And came back again
High on a hash pipe of good intent
But it only brought me down
Tried institutions of the mind and soul
It only taught me what I should not know
Oh and the answer well who would have guessed
Could be something as simple as this
Something as simple as this
Traveled to each ocean's end
Saw all seven wonders, trying to make some sense
Memorized the mantra Confucius said
But it only let me down
Tried absolution of the mind and soul
It only led me where I should not go
Oh and the answer well how could I miss
Something as simple as this?
Something as simple as this
I been falling, crashing, breaking
All the while you were stood here waiting
For me girl
Tried liberation of my own free will
But it left me looking to get higher still
Oh and the answer well who would have guessed
Could be something as simple as this?
God knows how I could have missed
Something as simple as this
I don't really understand why some are kind of angry people came here because of The fault in our stars. It's actually a good thing : heard the song in a movie, found it nice, searched for it, discovered an interesting artist. Why be mad ? And if the song is in the movie, it's because it's a good song from a good artiste and it promotes him. So avoid saying "fuck tfios" if it allowed people to hear about Jack Bugg, even if you didn't like the film/book, it's just a question of taste.
This has become one of my favorite songs because of deep emotional reasons. There's something about the lyrics that targets my existential crisis, and makes me wanna continue with life. Thank you Jake Bugg for making this song.
I don't get why it matters if you knew the song before it was in a movie? Why is everyone always have to one-up one other. Very primitive actions. Just enjoy the song.
I heard this song in the movie theatres while watching The Fault In Our Stars (which my girlfriend forced me to watch, which I actually loved after) and once I heard it I quickly pulled my phone out and shazzamed it :D
He reminds me of Bob Dylan. No doubt about it. How could he wrote such a good song like this? He brings 60's back to this era, when pop mainstream dominated the world. I can't stop listening to this. What a brilliant postmodern folk ballad song!! I'm so glad i have his album :-)
