THE POISON TREE
If you’ve got dreams you keep and you’re leaving me
I’ll see you in the next life
I’ll set you free
To find your promised land
If you’re leaving me
It’s really sad
It’s really sad
Because our love is lying on a fallow field
It’s the seed that you sowed
And scattered with the fallen shields
If you got dreams you keep because you’re leaving me
I’ll see you in the next life
Don’t follow me
To the poison tree
That grew up next to me
It’s really sad
It’s really sad
Because our love is lying on a fallow field
It’s the seed that you sow
That’s scattered with the fallen shields
Of a last crusade to save me from myself
The Good, The Bad & The Queen are managed by Eleven Management
As I get older I find this music more and more relevant. I've lost both my parents and said goodbye to more than a few beloved friends, the sadness in this song speaks to me more than ever. We are powerless to stop those we love from leaving us eventually, all we can do is wish them farewell as they go, and hope for the best. Cherish what time you have with those you love, treasure every second, because everything is finite. Everything has an amount attached to it. There's only so many times you can say 'hi' to a friend, "I love you" to your partner or "see you soon" to your mum and dad until they leave your life forever. Be slow to anger and quick to love and never let a dispute get in the way of a relationship. I've learned this through bitter experience, because you'll regret it if you do. 😢
RIP Tony Allen, an absolute legend with an unmistakable sound.
yes
Reast in peace tony
Damon Albarn is definitely the greatest talent from his generation, he just has more humanity to work his than someone like Thom Yorke, who's undeniably great, but cold.
Damon is definitely much more versatile and prolific than Thom is, at least stylistically. Thom deals more in the abstract topics and themes of alienation. I love both for their own unique artistic talents.
Damon is able to touch a more mainstream audience, which is why I find him more comparable than Thom Yorke to former greats such as David Bowie. I _love_ Thom's work, but he fulfills a different role.
Them, plus Sufjan Stevens.
how can you even compare them
My favorite song by Damon, with a little help of other giants
When the violin kicked in, I lost it, simply beautiful.
You're here too? Nice
You mean the strings?
I wonder how you came here,
anyway
Luv you, bye
Wait WHAT... HUH YOURE EVEN HERE...?!
Holy shit does Damon know how to end an album. Why are his album closers always so stunning? After an initial listen-through I'd already say this is among his best albums ever.
I guess We Got the Power is an exception to this statement. But yeah, I agree. The man can close an album beautifully
@@adapah7019 I think that isn't the official ending track of the album. It's Circle of Friends
@@monihaque2929 Yeah but the standard edition
@@adapah7019 Oh I see. He was definitely going for a different vibe though, making a different kind of music.
It's just that our preference might be to a certain style, someone else will tell you different but I agree, this is some of his best. But at times my preference will shift to Humanz, or certain tracks.
I think it's best not to compare too much, though we all have favourites hehe
I don't really like this album because most of the songs sound same as other and are really repetitive how can you tell which song is which
Those dubby basslines are back... all is right with the world again
Exactly what I was thinking. I missed them so much.
Pedro Chavez same here
PAUL is christ, Allen is god
omg im out of fcks. Damon is the holy ghost
@@pedrochavez1337 Simon are the prophets and Mike the virgin mary XD
This one and Ribbons are my favorite so far.
Same! ❤️
Same here...but this video slice my heart in half. What a wonderful song ❤️
Merrie Land and Lady Boston are really good too
Me too!
El Nato you are right💕
NOBODY does melancholy and bittersweet quite like Damon! Album of last Year AND this year!
Music doesn't usually make me cry, but this song touched me in such an indescribable way that I just started bawling. Damon's voice just sound so... Sincere? Broken? I don't know.
Edit: I just lost a friend today and came back to this... Yep. It definitely struck me.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Music like this can help so much. God bless
During my first listens of this song, I had been experiencing my grandpas slow decent from cancer. This song will always make me think about my grandpa during those times since he passed two weeks ago.
I remember my grandpa too listening this song, specially when Damon says "I'll see you in the next life, Don't follow me", papa waits for me... but he doesn't want me to go... not right now.
Man this song has a double meaning to me right now. Lost my father a very short time ago, now my relationship is ending and this song reminds me of both just in different ways
This is one of the best songs from Damon ever. I think this is up there with The Universal and To the End.
Albarns vocals on this track took me far away into my memories and emotions of my broken heart and failed loves and made me shed a tear here on my lonesome........and it was beautiful
If youve got dreams you keep
and youre leaving me
Ill see you in the next life
Ill set you free
To find your promised land
If youre leaving me
Its really sad
Its really sad
Because our love
Is lying on a follow field
Its the seed that you sowed
And scattered whit the fallen shields
If youve got dreams you keep
Because youre leaving me
Ill see you in the next life
Don't follow me
To the poison tree
That grew up next to me
Its really sad
Its really sad
Because our love
Is lying on a follow field
Its the seed that you sow
And scattered whit the fallen shields
Of a last crusade
To safe me from myself
small correction, it's fallow field as in dead, but great lyrics thank you.
It's actually fallow field. A field that is ready to be cultivated.
Dang, Damon is so good at closers. He ends albums with such beautiful ballads and the band as a whole just knocked this album out of the park. So beautiful💖
the imperial is the closer for me (not even available on spotify)
What a good surprise, not just all the music at once, but the fact that they all have a video to go along with them
I've already reached the end. That was wonderful.
"If you’ve got dreams you keep and you’re leaving me
I’ll see you in the next life"
After Tony Allen's passing, I see this as a beautiful goodbye to him.
It fits so well in that it's one of the last songs released in his lifetime that includes his drumming. The only song featuring him more recent than this that I can think of is How Far by Gorillaz.
i see you in the comments all the time, you've got great taste man :)
Merrie Land 2018, Tony Allen's death 2020
Touches me right deep in my soul.
Even to the darkest parts.
Me siento tan vivo y triste escuchando este Tema!
Secundo la moción
What a Christmas present to the world from Damon Albarn. Take a bow sir 👏
Tony Allens drumbeat is so cool in this
Another masterpiece from a genious mind. I grew up with Parklife, and listening to this album reminds me times have changed, such feelings.. .
It almost makes me smile to think of the Oasis-Blur saga back in the 90's. If you think what Damon still writes and produces today, when he's 50 years old, and what Noel Gallagher is doing instead, which is not worth a billionth of this stuff. And hey, I was a MASSIVE Oasis fan back in the days, much more than Blur.
And retrospectively too, I must say Blur music has aged so much better than Oasis', at least for me.
@@gmmgmmg Always prefered Blur to Oasis (even though I love Oasis too) I agree with you, Blur has aged better
I cried with a happy face when I discovered this song
After I got on my phone I jsut get BLASTED WITH NEW VIDEOS amazing
Una canción totalmente exquisita, muy hermosa y especial; tiene una tonada muy dulce y una letra muy profunda ♥️ simplemente, pura perfección
That sound in the first 4 seconds was heavenly
I haven't repeated a song this much for a very long time, if anything I'm sad more people won't hear this absolute gem
my ears have been blessed. thank you damon.
Damon sounds so good I this!!!!
RIP Tony Allen.. 😞
This whole album gives me indescribable goosebumps
Stunning. This is how you close an album.
Everything that Damon makes, is holy.
Aun no eh visto la letra pero escuchando la canción ya se me hace hermosa, LOS AMO
From 0:19 onwards... that's not an organ, that's Simon Tong on guitar. Genius.
You know I gotta say that once more I cannot be with you my dearest son, and this song simply transmits the feels going through my heart. Might be the poison tree boy!
I was angry with my friend
I told my wrath, my wrath did end
I was angry with my foe
I told it not, my wrath did grow
And it grew both day and night
Till it bore an apple bright
And my foe beheld it shine
And he knew that it was mine
And into my garden stole
When the night had veild the pole
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree
"Souk Eye" of Merrie Land
It’s the way he sings “save me from myself”....killer.
this is beautiful
Damon no nos ha defraudado nunca
Hable en inglich marrano >:v
@@genehayes7370 xdxd
@CafiSHiosSH lo mismo conmigo lo único salvable fue Andromeda y Busted and Blue
Defraudó con Humanz, pero con the now now y Merrieland, logro volver
How the position of the light really helps show the ventriloquist dummy emotions even on an emotionless face.
Tony 💔😢
God damn it all if it doesn't tear you apart.
You kill me, Damon! x
Qué hermosura nunca te mueras Damon
to borrow a phrase from the millenials, Mr Tony Allen simply "slays" all over this album. such a rich musical offering in so many ways.
I now life has slayed him.
rephrase that @K-leb
So this album has been there for a while and I've just discovered it few weeks ago? Unbelievable!!
That freakin' bass line! I can't cope!
Definitivamente TGTBATQ supo hacer un gran regreso con este álbum ♡
No como gorillaz :) ok no
Así es,.. Los nuevos álbumes de gorillaz fueron muy pobres... (aunque uno mejor que otro) invadidos por puros sintetizadores.. Y con Damon convirtiendo a la banda totalmente pop...
Pero con TGTB&TQ no tiene esa libertad... ya q están los otros miembros contribuyendo y obviamente si le hubieran cambiado la esencia del primer álbum pues hubieran caído en la misma situación q gorillaz...
Excelente este nuevo álbum.. Por fin con los sonidos puros de los instrumentos, teclados, violines.. uno q otro efecto por allí y con espléndidas armonías...
My favorite song off the album, this. THIS. They’ve outdone themselves.
this guy is incredible
Beautiful album from start to finish. Damon is a genius!
the bassline of this song is fucking perfect
Thanks for making my life brighter, on the brief moments of songs like that, Damon
This is so fucking beautiful
Damon´s voice made me cry
I’m crying... thank you for such beautiful song and album...
Damon Albarn is the loveliest man in existence. That voice is HEAVENLY
Amazing, melancholy, and a perfect example of good music.
I'm nearly in tears..... this is beautiful. The whole album is marvelous.
thank you for this work, i feel more at peace.
Soooo many good songs on this album. This one the truce of Twilight n merrie land are amazing songs. I just found the new album n damn it doesn't miss a beat after 11 yrs
This whole thing has made me realise I've been digitally living in America for the last.. what, 10 years? I miss England.
The sweetest song of the album💕
So beautiful.
Damon Siempre sabiendo cómo darle el toque final a cada álbum que publica.
Wow, so beatiful, probably my favorite from the album, beautiful vocals, everything ties together so well. What a way to end an album.
Wow I’ve never heard Damon or many people sing like this, I don’t even know what he’s doing, it’s just brilliant. Love the bass lines and drum and the violins just tie it all up so well.
This song is so beautiful
So beautiful, so dark, this is exactly what we need in times like these.
You guys realize this is a band and not just Damon?
People realize that, but he is the most famous out of all the other members and he is also the frontman
Yes, but the mastermind behind this band, who created this band is Damon
Damon Albarn dictates every band he's in
It's more of a collab project or 'supergroup' I think
He wrote the lyrics, chord progression, keyboard parts, melody and harmonies. Even though he didn't write the guitar, bass, drums, or strings, he did have the most to do with songwriting.
I'm melting... in a positive way. Such a beautiful song!
I love you so much for putting the lyrics in the description
Best lyrics in a while. They really make me sad and still I would listen to this song over and over again.
a masterpiece of music
Esto si es arte 10/10
This is just incredible. I have no words, thank you so much for getting back together.
10/10
11/10
12/10
13/10
This album never cease to amuse me!
Damon Alburn you crazy genius!😂😂
Love this song
A true classic....
The best out of the album
RIP Tony Allen, gonna miss the lad and those drums
SO MUCH PERFECT!!!
Beyond beautiful
This song is beautiful
Already one of my favorite Albums of 2018
Finished... Great Job. Every track golden.
i cried.............................. i don't know i just cried...........
Just put it on repeat... Again & again!!
This is definitely the best in the album.
This and Lady Boston
Delightfully dreamy. Damon sure knows how to end an album. ✨
Beautiful album :)
Damon's voice in this is so soft and it makes me wanna fall asleep UwU
Qué brutal.
