[Intro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Love's the madness on the breeze
Just one look, I'm falling like the leaves
Laying tender at your feet
I think it'll be the death of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Seasons melt away
Constant change, nothing feels real
But laying face-to-face
Life's upside down, head's over heels
[Chorus]
Is this real love I'm falling in? Keep falling in
Is this real love? I think it is, do you think it is?
You never suffer no fools, can't help, but feel that gives me hope
Ho-ho-ho-hope, is this real?
[Verse 2]
It's a greedy, selfish love
Just don't care about the world above
Let the voices echo on
'Cause your reflection's all I want
[Pre-Chorus]
Seasons ebb and flow
Life rolls by, while we waste away
Let the flowers bloom below
'Cause you're every night, and I'm every day
[Chorus]
Is this real love I'm falling in? Keep falling in?
Is this real love? I think it is, do you think it is?
You never suffer no fools, can't help, but feel that gives me hope
Ho-ho-ho-hope, is this real?
[Bridge]
Don't understand it, oh
Don't care that time just keeps on marching on
Can't comprehend it, oh
Bad news and voices just ain't sinking in
'Cause nothing around me seems to get me down
And I'm the type who always seems to get down
Don't understand it, oh
But I kinda like it, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Is this real love I'm falling in? Keep falling in?
Is this real love? I think it is, do you think it is?

Bastille released Seasons & Narcissus on Fri Jul 26 2024.
How to visually represent a famous mythological figure who fell madly in love with his own reflection? How to capture Narcissus – the original godfather of vanity – in his self-image obsessed craziness? Good question. I don’t love being on camera or in music videos, but it felt appropriate, logistic...
Dan Smith:
The Narcissus myth has been retold in so many ways because it’s so relevant to the way we live our lives now, constantly being confronted by our own image on phones or Zoom calls. I wanted to tackle that obsession by writing an earnest love song that we come to realise is between Narciss...
