BAD OMENS - Just Pretend (Official Music Video)

The strangle hold this song has on the community cannot be stressed more. Top tier.

I’m a grown ass man and I can’t listen to this without crying

This song completely shot me back into the 2000's and as a millennial, I couldn't be happier. This music right here not only makes you hear but you FEEL this music.

Can't remember when a song hit me this hard. Absolute perfection

bad omens never fail to deliver us something amazing

"Will you wait me out? or will you drown me out?"
Brilliant lyrics.

There is nothing in music history that hits as emotionally hard as that last "would you say im worthy" as it fades out

Spotify shuffled this song while I was bench pressing and I had to re rack the bar mid set to see who this was because I was HYPED. Ended up listening to their music for my entire workout. New fan here.

"Don’t fall in love with the idea of someone that you’ve planted in your mind."

The level of emotion in this song combined with this new video is so unadulterated. It somehow divulges a deep, nostalgic pain yet still manages to be the most addictive and captivating melody that I've heard in decades. Absolutely phenomenal.

I lost my young husband 3mo after getting married. The memory flashback scenes is the perfect representation of how I live as a widow now. The only thing I have left of him, of us. When I look at places he sat, or stood, I visualize him right there just like I did when he was alive. Almost like I can reach out and touch him but I can’t. This song and video just hits me so hard. ♥️😭

When my girlfriend passed away in 2008 i felt pain suffering from losing her she was my meaning of life i still miss her

The storyline is hauntingly beautiful. These boys are a force to be reckoned with. This song was made for a video and it did not disappoint

Finally, this song deserved a music video

Congrats to the boys, been listening to them since their debut with Glass Houses. 👌🏻

This video is so painstakingly beautiful. It's honestly scary to think that this could be our future and how people choose to live in memories that'll never happen again. Such a good song.

I think the most underrated lyric is “we’ll try again, when we’re not so different”. Maybe it carries a heavier meaning to me cus breaking up with someone you love so badly sucks but it just hits the core.

LYRICS
I'm not afraid of the war you've come to wage against my sins
I'm not okay, but I can try my best to just pretend
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out? (at the bottom)
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you
I know the pain that you hide behind the smile on your face
And not a day goes by where I don't think I feel the same
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I could wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you
We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
Till then I'll just pretend
Weigh down on me
Stay till morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
Weigh down on me
Stay till morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I could wait four years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you
We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
Till then I'll just pretend
Weigh down on me
Stay till morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
Weigh down on me
Stay till morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?

I love that bad omens didn't make this song a single. The fans made this song a single.

I discovered this song while I was in a psychiatric residential after almost dying in a hospital from a suicide attempt. My boyfriend waited for me to come home and never left me. ❤️

I can't explain the sadness and happiness this song brings me. And the official video really is everything I thought it would be. Truly a masterpiece.
