I loved this song a long, long time ago. It always made me feel emotional, but when I played it the day my father passed from cancer of esophagus, back in March , it gave me entirely new feelings. He fought it for 3 years, losing his voice due to surgery from removal of esophagus, then his foot due to blood clots from chemo, not caught in time. "Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat" really hit home for me. I'll never recover, and will always feel the void he leaves in my life, but knowing others have gotten through it to sing another day gives me comfort. Thanks for reading.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus yesterday. I have loved this song for years but it really is different now. It is all I have been listening to since the diagnosis. Hope you are doing OK kristy
I'm so sorry about that. Cancer is an absolute bitch. I can also see you're a Lord Huron fan? Good taste, hm? So sorry again about that, hope you're doing better.
The Lumineers have a gift of overloading my emotional state and bring me to a place of powerless acceptance, hope , willingness and submission. Joy and courage. thank you for helping me through so much. music truly is a gift.
I have goosebumps. For the longest time, since I discovered this song on Spotify, it became the anthem of my grieving process for my dad. I had no idea that the story of this song was so similar. He too died of cancer, and this song, and these lyrics resonated so deep within me, they let me feel my grief and sadness in a way I didn't think I could. I truly feel this song played a huge role in my healing process. Music is medicine in many ways. Thank you, Lumineers.
Lost my dad to cancer this year and this song stole everything I felt and things we went through together Especially the hospital gowns, thank u lumineers.
Lyrics (Intro) If only for my tongue. If only for my mouth Find my words to speak. Drivel out, for a while We waited in to see him. Buried deep within And Buried Lilian. And now it waits, waits for me The day has arrived, the Civil War inside Your cells, they multiply, Daddy died, daddy died Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope God and medicine take no mercy on him Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat Enough is enough, he's a long way from home Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt I flew far away, as far as I could go Your time is running out And I'm a long way from home Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed Holding the pain like you're holding your breath I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone You're right next to me But you're a long way from home Hospital gowns never fit like they should We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good More morphine, the last words you moaned At last I was sure That you weren't far away from home.
Bruh the intro lyrics are not accurate We waited in to see him. Buried deep within == n' It waited in his skin, Buried deep within Your cells, they multiply, Daddy died, daddy died == The cells, they multiply, Dah-dee-dah Dah-dee-duh
Yes, the beginning lyrics are incorrect. I may be wrong, too, but the line is more like: "It waited/waded in his skin." That makes a lot more sense considering the context and following line.
This song reminds me so much of my dad. I run to it. I run for him because he passed away of lung cancer and it was brutal like you describe. Your dad would've loved this
This man Is the most authentic songwriter I've ever had a pleasure to listen to.. Thank you for sharing this song.. what an amazing gift you have ..my father passed away on Saturday this song makes me feel so much less alone..
I lost my father to cancer a month ago. The lumineers are one of the few things keeping me together, they make me feel like I’m not alone through all of the shit
I’ve never lost a parent, but I watched me best friend go through it when we were 12. Three days ago was 13 years since he passed. He passed from cancer as well. This song is incredibly beautiful and will forever make me think of Mr. Robinson 🧡
I can't, I just can't listen to this song. My mom's currently fighting from stage four liver and lung cancer. She might not have much time left. Two years ago she got diagnosed with breast cancer and after mints of radiation and chemo she won that battle. And now she has to go through all this again but it's much much worse this time. It is killing me to see her like this and not being able to do a single thing about it. This song hits home, each and every word, about the pain and drugs and sleepless nights. I can't listen to this without crying but I'm also so thankful for the song.
Kinda of late, but i feel thats because of the chords, they use the same in most of their songs, but they somehow make it feel different. i suppose that applies to "less is more" and that with less resources you have to be more creative, i feel thats kinda the idea of the lumineers
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Westley. Truly such a beautiful, powerful piece; it's easily become one of my favourite tracks off the album, and the full length, uncut version adds even more depth. Sending you all my love man. X
I lost my dad 3 days ago and his mother 7 years ago for cancer. This is a such a huge suffering that I don't wish for my worst enemy. I know that now they are in peace and without any kind of pain. But still hurts a lot to think about everything they've been through. Only God to make us strong again and help us to live without the person we loved the most in our whole life 💔🥀 rest in peace Papi, love you forever ❤️
I fell in love with this song istantly the first time I had heard it. I tried to look everywhere for the meaning of the lyrics (although i figured out by myself that this song was about a man who's dying) and then this video came from nothing. I would have never thought it was you'r father's story. Thank you for sharing those really sad, but important moments of your life with such a beautiful song, boy. You guys are true arists.
If only for my tongue. If only for my mouth. Find my words to speak. Drivel out, for a while. He waited in his skin. Buried deep within. And Buried Lilian. And now it waits, waits for him. The day has arrived, the Civil War inside. Your cells, they multiply, Daddy died, daddy died. (if you dont know the song, the studio version starts when he says "held onto hope.."
I live like 2 hours from LA plus traffic but I will literally drive there and sit in that crazy traffic just to go to a Lumineers concert but I have no idea when they’ll be on tour again 😫
If only for my tounge, if only for my mouth, I find my words to speak, dribble out, fall out. And it waited in his skin, buried deep within, it buried Lillian, and now it waits, waits for him. And the day has arrived, a civil war inside, the cells they multiplied, daddy died, daddy died. Held on to hope, like a noose, like a rope. God and medicine, take no mercy on him; poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat, enough is enough, he's a long way from home. Days of my youth, wasted on a selfish fool, who ran for the hills, from the hand you were delt. I flew far away, as far as I could go, your time is running out, and I'm a long way from home. Layed up in bed, you were layed up in bed. Holding the pain, like your holding your breathe. I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone. Your right next to me, but your a long way from home. Hospital gowns, never fit, like they should. We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good. "More morphine." The last words you moaned, at last I was sure, that you weren't far away from home.
Blessings and Peace be upon You and Your Progeny.. word's fail me.. my Father took his own life in the mid '80s; I didn't know why until years later I was told the Truth by his next older Brother (Corporal Stephen A. King, 7 R.AR., Vietnam Veteran), who identified his Little Brothers Tattoos.. "don't worry Vin, your Dad didn't feel a thing.. there was nothing left above his neck bone".. quote unquote.. Uncle Steve had nothing to lie about. He was dying anyway from agent orange, but f___k we put some Stolychnaya Vodka and Winfield cigarettes away. Thank You for Sharing. :) P.S., You are not alone :)

Greetings from France

Lyrics
(Intro)
If only for my tongue. If only for my mouth
Find my words to speak. Drivel out, for a while
We waited in to see him. Buried deep within
And Buried Lilian. And now it waits, waits for me
The day has arrived, the Civil War inside
Your cells, they multiply, Daddy died, daddy died
Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
God and medicine take no mercy on him
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
Enough is enough, he's a long way from home
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
I flew far away, as far as I could go
Your time is running out
And I'm a long way from home
Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
You're right next to me
But you're a long way from home
Hospital gowns never fit like they should
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
More morphine, the last words you moaned
At last I was sure
That you weren't far away from home.
Bruh the intro lyrics are not accurate
We waited in to see him. Buried deep within ==
n' It waited in his skin, Buried deep within
Your cells, they multiply, Daddy died, daddy died ==
The cells, they multiply, Dah-dee-dah Dah-dee-duh
Yes, the beginning lyrics are incorrect. I may be wrong, too, but the line is more like:
"It waited/waded in his skin."
That makes a lot more sense considering the context and following line.
Don't know how I can survive a year without new Lumineers content
This song reminds me so much of my dad. I run to it. I run for him because he passed away of lung cancer and it was brutal like you describe. Your dad would've loved this

I lost my father to cancer a month ago. The lumineers are one of the few things keeping me together, they make me feel like I’m not alone through all of the shit
I absolutely love this track, made me cry the first time I heard it. It's full of emotionally raw moments and simplistic but so wonderfully placed
My Dad died the same way, thank you for the song it hits my heart.
I’ve never lost a parent, but I watched me best friend go through it when we were 12. Three days ago was 13 years since he passed. He passed from cancer as well. This song is incredibly beautiful and will forever make me think of Mr. Robinson 🧡
Thanks for letting me remember my mother in a different way. Who died of Cancer too....😢
One of the greatest songs ever written IMO. 👍
I can't, I just can't listen to this song. My mom's currently fighting from stage four liver and lung cancer. She might not have much time left. Two years ago she got diagnosed with breast cancer and after mints of radiation and chemo she won that battle. And now she has to go through all this again but it's much much worse this time.

This song hits home, each and every word, about the pain and drugs and sleepless nights. I can't listen to this without crying but I'm also so thankful for the song.
This song is pure anguish.
Maybe one day the pain will lighten up a bit but he's blessed to have shared that piece of his life.
All time favourite band... please visit India ❤
YAAAAAAAAAS!!!!
la sit Yesssss
Yus
Yussss
I will
Though every song sounds the same it's different. Same same but different. Love it
Kinda of late, but i feel thats because of the chords, they use the same in most of their songs, but they somehow make it feel different. i suppose that applies to "less is more" and that with less resources you have to be more creative, i feel thats kinda the idea of the lumineers

I heard this extended version live in 2016 and I have waited for this since then. Thank you so much.

He waited in his skin. Buried deep within. And Buried Lilian. And now it waits, waits for him.
The day has arrived, the Civil War inside. Your cells, they multiply, Daddy died, daddy died.

If only for my tounge, if only for my mouth, I find my words to speak, dribble out, fall out. And it waited in his skin, buried deep within, it buried Lillian, and now it waits, waits for him. And the day has arrived, a civil war inside, the cells they multiplied, daddy died, daddy died.
Held on to hope, like a noose, like a rope. God and medicine, take no mercy on him; poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat, enough is enough, he's a long way from home. Days of my youth, wasted on a selfish fool, who ran for the hills, from the hand you were delt. I flew far away, as far as I could go, your time is running out, and I'm a long way from home. Layed up in bed, you were layed up in bed. Holding the pain, like your holding your breathe. I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone. Your right next to me, but your a long way from home.
Hospital gowns, never fit, like they should. We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good. "More morphine." The last words you moaned, at last I was sure, that you weren't far away from home.
Lots of love from Malaysia!!
love form INDIA
Reminds me of my grandma. Rest in peace
amo esto 😢 saludos desde Argentina ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

This song made me cry
Blessings and Peace be upon You and Your Progeny.. word's fail me.. my Father took his own life in the mid '80s; I didn't know why until years later I was told the Truth by his next older Brother (Corporal Stephen A. King, 7 R.AR., Vietnam Veteran), who identified his Little Brothers Tattoos.. "don't worry Vin, your Dad didn't feel a thing.. there was nothing left above his neck bone".. quote unquote.. Uncle Steve had nothing to lie about. He was dying anyway from agent orange, but f___k we put some Stolychnaya Vodka and Winfield cigarettes away. Thank You for Sharing. :) P.S., You are not alone :)

i really do !
i hope that i can listen it live!!
Come to El Paso Texas plzzzzzzz
How could 71 people downvote this song?
Please guys come to Mexico!!! We love your music :)
這個樂隊的特色在於他們會用搖鈴😂應該說真是別樹一幟,無論是使用的樂器,或是很多首歌曲都會出現的「Ho」、「 Hey」的吶喊、又或是每個成員的風格(你會覺得他們是文青俱樂部,表演完之後要回到辦公室工作的味道,總之我不會將他們歸類為搖滾,是比較流行的鄉村音樂吧)可以說他們的存在,在一眾樂隊之中真是奇葩,但他們有一種自信的氣場,不需要模仿其他樂隊的那種酷炫,他們是另一種酷炫。
每個成員都是樂器高手,主唱的唱功又登峯造極,只能說是強強聯手。唯一不足是他們的歌都是自己作的(應該是吧？),聽得多就會發現風格相近,這是樂隊一定會面臨的問題。但就整體質素來評價,我會說是最好的樂手碰上最好的主音,每個人都放在適當的位置。
😇 that beautiful voice
Vos chansons sont magnifiques
His songs are magnificent
This is amazing
The Lumineers come to Fortaleza, Brasil please ! 🙏😍💜🙌🖐️🎵🎶
Can you guys come to Chile please?

One of my favorite band!!!! Very #classic
😢 That moment when he says: "My daddy, my dad..."
is beautiful ❤
Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
God and medicine take no mercy on him
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
Enough is enough, he's a long way from home
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
I flew far away, as far as I could go
Your time is running out
And I'm a long way from home
Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
You're right next to me
But you're a long way from home
Hospital gowns never fit like they should
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
More morphine, the last words you moaned
At last I was sure
That you weren't far away from home
Love you forever Lumineers 😍
Venez au Québec, Canada!
fucking beautiful
wow man , thats beatiful :,v saludos desde bolivia , hailgrasa
