hiii, i just wanted to get this out of my chest, and i’m sure you can put it in words better than me but.. i think the greatest is one of the most beautiful love songs in H&L love songs history. oh god it’s just so pure and gorgeously written about their highs and downs and how they worked on every little thing in their relationship and how far they made it together. it’s like having falling, adore you, habit, sweet creature, walls, we made it, sunflower, keep driving, satellite etc etc all in one song. you see, he talks about all of that and then goes like : “no falling all to pieces we’re the greatest it’s you and me until the end life for us is never over” ughhh everytime i listen to it i wanna cry about how special their love is and how they truly are the one for each other.
i so agree. the first time i heard it i had goosebumps all over, my mouth fell open, i couldn't believe what i was hearing.
circle round my heart where the best of me should start as a link back to walls. we'll never be that cold again referring back to the stories they've told of being deep in the gutter when they were alone. your face reminding me of a love you cannot hide and we had to disappear screams closeting, a continuation of we made it. alone we're only just as good as the rest they've tried doing their shit alone but the way their love fuels what they do and sprinkles their art with magic is incomparable. life for us is never over bc they're making a mark and leaving a legacy. a masterful opener for an album that calls in a new era
