I love this song...the way it turns the longing for someone and something unrequited and instead of tumbling into full on insecurity, it rises from the muddled mire with "someone will" love me when you can't. Good on ya solider....tread on.
Amazing songwriting. So perfect. Reminiscent of Paul Simon too, in the best way. The lyrics really tell that story, when you fall for someone, that you or her don't want for forever, but for now, but you love her so much, it feels like forever, and you want to take her to that feeling too, or else, someone else will. Kind of like some songs about loving the 'in between' person, when it comes along, and either you are falling for her, so you have to have her, or someone else will, or you're so lonely, that you have to have her and feel she's special in her own way, or someone else will. Been there, a lot! So beautifully and expertly expressed & played. This song is in the WOW zone!
"The guy you say you're looking for sounds like the kinda guy I want to be..." I remember feeling this way when I was in high school decades ago and not knowing how to live up to what I thought girls wanted. When you hear an adult say that they wish they could have the body of their high school self and match it with the wisdom of adulthood, that's what they mean. A beautiful lyric that captures a sliver of it all....
Thank goodness we get two Taylor Goldsmith's with this great band. The one who can play guitar like this ... and the actorly one on stage who often uses his picking/strumming hand more for gesturing than for actually playing notes! He's great at both styles!
This is pretty much pure perfection, the performance that turned me into a superfan. No moment greater than at 0:57 when he gets his left hand stuck a little bit and just smiles.

This performance makes me cry, it's so moving.

Well said...
"The guy you're looking for, sounds like the kind of guy I want to be." What a line. I love Dawe's sad songs, they are so relatable.
I wish someone would have. ;) Thanks for this. :) I was looking for Rhob Cunningham's song with the same title.
Nothing like Dawes’ short stories; narrative matters.
A beautiful song paired with a wonderful performance! Great lyrics, too. Very real. Dig down to the soul.
that last verse, holy shit

I resonate with you so much!!!

nice video but it would be nice to see his hands and how he's playing
I will. You're incredible. Please stick around or move out of Los Angeles. The connection there is foggy at best, like June gloom.

All you have to do is listen!
Sounds like Golden by My Morning Jacket

Folks...Please stop comparing them to anyone else...except maybe Jackson Browne meets the Avette Bros. LOL.
Better not compare him to Ryan Adams; you might incur the wrath of Mandy.
