[Excerpt]
"We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

[Verse 1: Dan Smith]
Now there you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should play it the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness

[Verse 2: Gabrielle Aplin, Dan Smith]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

[Chorus: Gabrielle Aplin]
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know, you'll know

[Verse 3: Gabrielle Aplin]
Now here I go again I see a crystal vision
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness

[Verse 2: Gabrielle Aplin & Dan Smith, Gabrielle Aplin]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

[Chorus: Dan Smith]
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know

[Bridge: Dan Smith]
All we had and all we lost
All we had and all we lost

[Chorus: Gabrielle Aplin & Dan Smith, Dan Smith]
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know, you'll know
(All we had and all we lost)
You'll know, you'll know
(All we had and all we lost)
You'll know, you'll know
(All we had and all we lost)

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
