Augustana - Boston (Video)

[Verse 1]

In the light of the sun, is there anyone?

Oh it has begun

Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed

This world you must've crossed

You said

This is one of my favorite songs.

Written by Dan Layus, Justin South, Jared Palomar, and Josiah Rozencwajg.

Below is my personal interpretation of its themes (paraphrased, not quoting the lyrics):

The opening evokes someone searching in broad daylight, as if asking the world to witness them.

It sketches two people on a shared journey—crossing distance and difficulty together.

A sudden flash—like a camera—suggests clarity breaking through the haze.

A question about “anyone” reads to me as a hint of hiding or retreat, a fear of being seen.

The turning point signals that feelings have started and can’t be undone.

A face that seems lost and tear-streaked signals exhaustion and overwhelm.

Finally, there’s a flush of feeling—blushing, infatuation, the early heat of love.

My hope is that this post adds appreciation and value to the artists’ work by engaging with it thoughtfully and encouraging others to listen and support them.

The image depicts a scene set in a crowded environment, likely an outdoor event or gathering. In the foreground, a man dressed in a light-colored coat stands to the left. He has dark hair and is holding a cigarette between his fingers, appearing contemplative. His facial expression is serious, and he is looking towards the right side of the image.

To the right, a couple is engaged in an embrace. The man, wearing a light gray coat, has his back to the viewer, while the woman, who has short, curly red hair, is facing the camera. She is wearing a dark coat and brown gloves, and her expression appears to convey affection or longing as she looks up at the man. The man’s arm is around her, suggesting a close relationship.

In the background, a crowd of people is visible, with various individuals dressed in coats and hats typical of a mid-20th-century setting. Some people are smiling or waving, indicating a lively atmosphere. A few women in the crowd are wearing fur coats, while others have hats adorned with decorative elements.

The setting features a wooden fence in the foreground, with a blue structure behind it, possibly a stage or platform. The background includes a building with a grid-like structure, suggesting a fair or public event. There are no visible logos, trademarks, or readable text in the image. The overall color palette is vibrant, with a mix of warm and cool tones, contributing to a dynamic visual composition.

[Chorus]

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah

And you said

You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah

It just means, that, they are stilling storming

They are wearing "chains" like their baggage

They are both engaged to other people

So they do act like they don't care

And are playing around

Although, they clearly have fallen in love

Essential yet appealed

Carry all your thoughts

Across an open field

Over here, this fiance is worried

The open field, for thoughts, is scary

He aso, is feeling insecure now

1:15 AM (d)

When flowers gaze at you

They're not the only ones

Who cry when they see you

Oh, you said

I will am just a lover of music

I am just a writer of my diary

Like 8b people write their own

I will go ask for permission to share

I can pay $0.01 or whatever price is fair

But I am not selling this on its own

I am just applying that music to the movie

It's got a totally different, renewed meaning

I'm just celebrating the music and movie

These lyrics don't belong to me

But they are words and songs I love

I have sung them to myself for years

I don't want to explain what they mean

I think you need to decide for yourself

The flowers, remind me of Rosie

And her friend, Meg Ryan

And the way they cried seeing this

They are the audience, like God

They are feeling empathy for her

And also for him, and her, and him

And feel very saddened by it all

This hook, is key

The bit where she says:

"I think I'll go back to Boston"

It's this, that triggers me to share it

Nobody else, has put that song to this film

It's what gives the song weight here

If I was director, I'd add it to this scene

Or use the musical score by Augustana

Well you said

You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah

And she is trying to break loose of this one

[Bridge]

She said I think I'll go to Boston

I think I'll start a new life

Well, obviously, it is my diary

So I am thinking of Pauline

But -- it's also echoing how I'll earn

I have earned $0 dollars since 2017

So it'll be the first time I'm earning

And I think the thrill of earning that

FIRST DOLLAR is going to be cool.

It's also, about how, how I want to start anew

How it's a breath of new life from God

A life, freed from the Eye of Sauron CCTV

Which reigned terror over me for 23+ years

1:30 AM (c)

I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name

I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather

I think I'll get a lover and fly 'em out to Spain

Over here, I imagine myself in his shoes again

The shoe leather cost isn't very high

As he does a good job as a painter

He is a artist

I also, set up AngryPages Inc in California

Out of respect for my former publicist in CA

He gave me a lot of confidence

And those people are very cool over there

I am tired of the weather, it means to me

Oh it's sweltering hot in Sri Lanka, humid

And I want to leave the place

The lover, fly out to spain, is wishful thinking

And look, lo n behold, the guy's first dollar

1:30 AM (d)

Oh yeah and I think I'll go to Boston

I think that I'm just tired

I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind

I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset

Sunrise, has a special meaning for me

It represents God to me in human form

And in my many defeats in Sri Lanka

I often viewed leaving as an "escape"

Oh yeah

Or during the snow

So, it's interesting they show it here

And then, the song is overlapping on top

And singing about how snow would be nice
