Back in my highschool years I was at the boarding school, and in my last year I was thinking "those are the best years of my life". My roommate used to put music to wake us up on the morning, and we changed the compil every month. So the last month of the last year, he decided to put this song, and every day I was waking up to this beautiful sound. 3 years later, I still listen to it on the morning, and I remember how life was good those days. Take care of yourself, enjoy moments as simple as the one I just told you about, and listen to music. Great life. EDIT : Thx to all of the people who responded here since I posted the comment, it's kind of incredible to see that I can share with so many people with words and that we can feel the same about this song, even if we live in different places of the world... I wanted to mention that I asked a few month ago to my former roommate if he still listened to this song in the morning, and guess what, after 5 years, he still does, like me !!! Anyway, after a long time of being in different places in France for university, we now both live in Paris and we see each other very often, life is still as good as it was before ;)

Tobie Tripp on the violin!!

When my son is born, this is the first song I will play to him Edit (3 years later): Well, i kept my promise. Yesterday we brought Oskar home and guess what song I put on the speakers :) Thank you Patrick Watson, Tom, Tobie and COLORS „I knew a boy who was swallowed by sky...“

this song feels like a dream

This is a banger. Just imagine a collab with tom misch and Daniel Caesar 😍

Lyrics: I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky By the flashing lights I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue And came out alive I knew a boy I knew a man that looked a lot like you I knew a time I knew a place that felt a lot like you I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky By the flashing lights I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue And came out alive I knew a boy I knew a man that looked a lot like you I knew a time I knew a place that felt a lot like you ~Musical Interlude~

just on the plain about to take off on my way back home from an introspective solo trip. Remembered this song and now I’m crying ❤

much luv!

Toms face is so comforting to me. Like the smile of an old friend

If it's your first time listening to tom misch go listen to his other work I PROMISE you won't be deceived

sometimes you dont want this kind of songs become mainstream and get play in the supermarket, you just want this kind of songs played in your own playlist.

I was having a bad day, then I listened to Tom Misch...

this son is so underated! really, Toms voice, and they way he easly make the gitar sing, is absolutelly amazing!! but really love that you dont hear it in every radio station, in every corner..... makes it still private.

The way Tobie looks at his violin makes me weak in the knees. This is otherworldly.

This was beautiful. Put it on fullscreen, sat backed and relaxed. These lyrics were made for Toms voice. I't all fits perfectly!

this song makes me so emotional. how can something sound so good? the sounds just hijack my brain waves

Song is so relatable to going through stages of anxiety and depression and feeling like your being ‘swallowed by the sky’ but always coming out alive, such a mood.

Tobi looks so lovingly at his violin, and Tom looks so sweetly at his guitar. What a gorgeous song!

This is such a beautiful music piece and a beautiful interpretation. It conveys so many emotions at the same time: A mix of melancholia and sadness, but also a subtle touch of nostalgia and... hope. It feels like the notes remind me of a distant past, where everything was ok, no matter the situation, no matter the sadness, a time where everything felt floating, light, and soft. Like if I were on a distant cloud, observing from afar, and just contemplating without doubt or anxiety all the events that took place all around me. A nostalgia for a distant past that I didn't even experience, and that probably didn't happen. Thank you so much to both the musicians for this incredible experience.

Tom Misch is such a talented artist along with his whole family being musically gifted

What an exquisite experience to have heard this, a fiercely devastating violin - a guitar that keeps the heart beating, bearable, and vocals that spell the inside of my brain, that give breath to my soul. . . Thank you.

The song has such a nostalgic feeling to it, like when I'm reading old messages from an ex, and think of the happy memories. But I cry because it'll never be the same.

7 years later and i still start crying hearing this❤

TOM MISCH!? COLORS BERLIN YALL ARE ON A ROLL THANKS FOR MAKIN A GIRL SO HAPPY

This song is our love family song ❤ we had a crush on it and decided that it will be the song for our entrance on the wedding day . Then when I was pregnant I & our baby were listenning to it all along. From the moment our baby is born, it is literaly his beautiful lulaby ,the only song that make him quiet and feel good. And for ever our love song❤

Not enough people know this guy I feel sad that people are going crazy over people mumbling words that are supposed to"rhyme" that's not even wrote by them and miss out on such a beautiful man who puts soul in his music and even more soul in covers.

Hi I’m in 4th grade right now and my music teacher was showing us this video and was teaching us to play the guitar like Tom .9/11/2018

I cried. I legit cried watching this. I never heard of him before, now I need to know who is this white boy that made me cry. This was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

May 21st 2019. Australia. Still listening. Thank you for the music.

this keeps getting better and better

Spirit flows just right through these two young men wonderfully!

What a pearl - that progressions, harmonics - just, damn

His voice is incredible! Always in my playlists.

i'm writing a text for father's day. In this letter, I said to him to listen to this song while reading my words since this song makes me feel deeply nostalgic. Now, i'm reading my letter again and i'm crying. Thanks colors for musical experiments like this. We owe you so much. If you're reading this, keep your family close and take care of yourself.

if heaven were a sound

i'm absolutely in love, how talented are Tom and Tobie, what a song

This is truly an ethereal masterpiece. It just seems to reach out and lightly touches the Soul. Tom and Tobie you have created a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with the World. Please, please create some more artistic pieces like this.

Why am I crying

This is something that has touched me deeply for a long time. This violin makes me cry. Absolutely great ❤

This is one of the most soothing songs I have ever listened to. Tom Misch is everything!

TABS (what I think) are: INTRO: 2xx20x 4xx40x 7xx70x 5xx60x 9xx90x 14xx140x 12xx130x VERSE: 12xx130x 11xx110x 9xx90x 7xx80x 5xx60x 4xx40x 5xx60x 12xx130x 11xx110x 9xx90x 7xx80x 5xx60x 4xx40x 5xx60x 5xx50x 7xx70x 9xx90x 11xx110x 12xx130x 5xx50x 7xx70x 9xx90x 11xx110x 12xx130x and then back to the beginning Picking: B string is always open, the strings E>G>B (6th>2nd>3rd) so you pick those strings the whole time: E>G>B>E>G>B>E>G>B etc...

This is like being covered in a warm blanket (like the really smooth sort of furry kind) when it's cold outside, and you just feel like nothing could go wrong. When you tuck your feet in and it's the perfect temperature.

I want to thank Tom for the most soothing and beautiful voice. Instantly feeling calm when listening to his music.

Isolation Vibes, oh my god i miss going out, but i just want to shout out to all medical workers who, work or die in battle againts this virus. thank you.

Most beautiful song ive ever heard!

These 2 need to make more music together. This cover and "Day 5: for carol" are some of the most soul touching, serene music I've heard in my damn life while keeping elements of sadness, nostalgia and hope all in balance without any emotions overpowering one another. It just makes me feel content with everything.

This is so pure and beautiful

Omg the intro alone nearly had me in tears!

Goldlink, Tom Misch, waiting for Childish Gambino and Loyle Carner now

I am in love with this channel omg.

You GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYS 😭😭😭😭😭😭 THIS IS SOUL MUSIC. NOT THE KIND YOUR THINKING OF FIRST....NOW YOUR THERE. Soul music. It changes vibrations. Im in love ❤

His voice is just so on point, so perfect

this is my favorite song right now

YES COLORS BERLIN!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

Everyone is talking about Tom Misch but me I'm definitely in love of Tobie Tripp

Je n'ai pas les mots. Tout est parfait

I still watch this everyday...Perfection...Tom and Toby are mastering their craft 💯❤

2 years ago and still hit my heart the same

It's incredible, he has so many skills, and an incredible musicality. Seems like it's spontaneous, natural. Sh*t, I think I'm in love

WOW he sounds as good when he's performing live as well. Thank you for sharing, COLORS BERLIN! This totally made my day!

imagine this with a cello.

I get chills every time I listen to this.

i feel like im floating on a cloud imagining a whole film with your song on the background... Your voice Tom is special

As a fan of Tom Misch - so glad he put me on to Patrick Watson - so much good music out there

This song changes the dimension of my life for the time I'm listening to it, the same as it has for the last four years. Thanks for Tabie and Tom.

This song sung by him is so comforting

Absolutely bawled my eyes out. This ripped my heart into pieces. The talent in this duo is incredibly powerful

I swear to god that violin is giving me goosebumps every single time I listen to it!!!

What in the world?! That song is another level music! Have to hear it more than once to assimilate it.

this song genuinely helped me go through the early parts of the pandemic.

Thank you Tom, Tobie and Colors for this moment of beauty.

Feels like I've been dead this whole time and the song took me in the between and brought me back to life the second it ended. It still took effect after so many loops.

Colors Berlin please stop reading in my mind ! My whole playlist is in your channel ! Much love

Every once in a while I come back here and just get lost in his voice

Their instruments are speaking .............. it is breathtaking​ .........

Thanks to COLORS I'm blessed to lead life that has Tom Misch and HONNE in it.....it's a great, great life....

Absolutely amazing, so happy to see Tom on your channel !!

This was beyond beautiful

Tobie Tripp wooooooow!!! and off course Tom Misch love love ..

That clean tone 😀

I don't why but this song makes me emotional.

Peace Be The Cosmic and Earthly Journey..🙏🏾🌍✨❤️

I just wanna cry and laugh all at the same time. What a beautiful paradox this song reminds me of!♥️♥️

How many could listen to this song nonstop? The guitar sound hits me in that exact spot. And then the violin kicks in. This sound. I can't take it. It's so perfect.

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I'm hearing this for the first time under a cloudy grey sky, with thunder and light rain, on the most depressing day of my life.

I didn't know Robert Pattinson and Elijah Wood were in a band together.

This hurts my heart AND fills it with joy. Pure, pure beauty.

This was the moment I discovered Tom Misch and fell in love. I love coming back here and listening to this.

Everytime I here this song I think about my dad. He died when I was 14 and it changed me completely. It has been 10 years now and there’s time when I think I’m out of the big dark blue, but other times when I realize the water isn’t completely dry yet.

I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky By the flashing lights I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue And came out alive I knew a boy I knew a man that looked a lot like you I knew a time you could stand still beside Never rushing by I knew a place you'd go for your head to explode Into peace of mind I knew a time I knew a place that felt a lot like you I knew a boy I knew a man who looked a lot like you Just like you I knew a friend that would hold on to the flames Keep them from burning you I knew a smile like that could see through all of the stones That the world had thrown I knew a smile I knew a friend who looked a lot like you I knew a boy I knew a man who looked a lot like you

been lovin Tom Misch for a couple years now and it's SO GOOD TO SEE HIM ON THIS PLATFORM COLORS BERLIN U R DOING IT RIGHT

the way they look at their instruments, that's deep love

this is flippin amazing I LOVE THIS

fuck yeah! I listen to this at least twice a day!

Everytime he started to sing, his voice made me fell in love over and over again

Colors Berlin ... Making Soundcloud playlists come to lifeeeeeee

This arrangement is hypnotic and is in my liked songs in Spotify - well done!

This song is incredibly valuable to me. I’m a trans guy, and this song is like a dysphoria cure-all. Thank you, Colors. Thank you.

Słucham bez przerwy i płaczę. Kocham.

I can never get enough of Tom! His voice is so rich and calm. Love it!
