I cannot stop replaying this song. It's perfection to me, and I cry every time I listen to this. I swear, Brian Fallon has this ability to write a song and it feels like it was written for me. Almost every song he writes feels so very personal. This one just gets to me.
This isn't just one of the greatest song i've heard by Brian, it's one of the greatest songs i've ever heard period. That beautiful chorus knocks it out the park. Sleepwalkers really is a masterpiece.
In 5 months I turn 21. I always hoped I’d meet my person at the age of 20 so the “20 long years away from your heart” line could be ours. But life has different plans and mostly I doubt there is a “my person” out there at all.
Did you spend most of your life waitin' On a fairytale read between pages? Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio Is somebody waiting on the same song? And we sold our souls on the fantasies we found in records and black and white movies And I used to beg June to burn me alive, if that would get me anywhere but here Now Etta James, hit that symphony 'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone 'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars Twenty long years away from your heart Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms My love is in my arms And it was impossible to hold on to anything In my chest was a lonesome, growing cyclone I kept pictures tucked up into the rear view above to the sirens all lost in the ocean And all we wanted was absolutely everything Like foolish, hungry young lions I was lost and alone, a million light years from home It was nobody's fault but mine Now Etta James, hit that symphony 'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone 'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars Twenty long years away from your heart But finally, finally, my love is in my arms And was there a hole in your life? Did you kill to keep warm but somehow never quite satisfied? Do you feel like it's always time to go? And it's always wrong, and it's always off, and it's hard to know, which heart to hold Now do you lie to someone, is someone else, on your mind? Do you lie to someone with me on your mind? Now Etta James, hit that symphony 'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone 'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars Twenty long years away from your heart Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms My love is in my arms Etta James, Etta James Etta James, it's been a long time coming Etta James, Etta James Etta James, it's been a long time coming (At last, at last) Etta James, it's been a long time coming (At last, at last) Etta James, it's been a long time coming I could've said my love was coming 'long
Instant tears! This may just be one of the greatest songs Brian Fallon has ever written! He really does a great job of reaching into your chest and touching your soul with “Etta James.” This song touches almost everyone in some way.
I got to meet Etta James! She was was one of the most beautiful people I have ever met! She said to me and my friends as young men what do you boys know about the blues as she laughed! We didn’t know much but we knew Etta🌹💔☠️🙏
See You On The Other Side is definitely my favorite, but first I though second will be Watson, and for the last few days I've been listening to this repeatedly, and, I'm having doubts .
I'm always amazed that Brian Fallon can fit so many winding and intricate lyrics into a 4 minute song without sounding wordy or long winded. He can pack more emotions and thoughts into each individual song than many musicians can put into an entire album.
You know those songs you find that just have so much emotion and soul that you find and it changes the way you think if for only a short time, and you just never want that song to end? Its like a religious experience almost. This is that song. I've loved TGA ever since The 59 Sound came out and changed my life. Keep it up Brian!!
Chills went down my whole body as that final note rang out. Brian has never been short of amazing. His music has always stung in the best of ways and hit me like no other band ever has.
It MADE me cry! He just sings it with so much emotion it literally just like hit me in the soul with all the feels. Absolutely one of my favs on this album!
oh my god!!! Just cruising through some brian fallon and the gaslight anthem and I come across this music.. @BrianFallon your voice gives me goose bumps brother! Definitely my favourite male voice!
This chorus fuckin kills me inside but i love this song its like that phrase about watchin a wreck but you cant look away.. It cuts deep. The dying alone part
Sure do! Love the horrible crowes version. I've heard Brian ghost writes and I like to think teenage dream may be his. Probably not but I just like to think in my ignorant little head

Every once in a while an artist comes around that breathes new life into a dull music era. Brian is that artist.
Saw Brian do this live in Birmingham OMG 😭 And i am 62 ❤
I can confidently say I've never heard a song by Brian that I did not love.
Me too!
Maybe one or two 😂

Daniel Selberg the beginning reminiscent of his Teenage Dream cover. Exceedingly outstanding.
Yes yes yes.
wooooppyyyyy
Completely agree, Daniel Selberg, Sleepwalkers is a complete masterpiece. His greatest work!
thank you
Wow, time to check Brian and his discography. I'm speechless.
Such a powerful and beautiful song... Just this one is enough to make the album a classic.
In 5 months I turn 21. I always hoped I’d meet my person at the age of 20 so the “20 long years away from your heart” line could be ours. But life has different plans and mostly I doubt there is a “my person” out there at all.
This should be released as a single. Like Brian and GLAs best songs, it drips with the perfect blend of passion and nostalgia
This is easily my favorite song off this album.
"If your prayers dont get to heaven" is a close second.
Did you spend most of your life waitin'
On a fairytale read between pages?
Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio
Is somebody waiting on the same song?
And we sold our souls on the fantasies we found in records and black and white movies
And I used to beg June to burn me alive, if that would get me anywhere but here
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Twenty long years away from your heart
Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms
My love is in my arms
And it was impossible to hold on to anything
In my chest was a lonesome, growing cyclone
I kept pictures tucked up into the rear view above to the sirens all lost in the ocean
And all we wanted was absolutely everything
Like foolish, hungry young lions
I was lost and alone, a million light years from home
It was nobody's fault but mine
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Twenty long years away from your heart
But finally, finally, my love is in my arms
And was there a hole in your life?
Did you kill to keep warm but somehow never quite satisfied?
Do you feel like it's always time to go?
And it's always wrong, and it's always off, and it's hard to know, which heart to hold
Now do you lie to someone, is someone else, on your mind?
Do you lie to someone with me on your mind?
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
'Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
'Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Twenty long years away from your heart
Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms
My love is in my arms
Etta James, Etta James
Etta James, it's been a long time coming
Etta James, Etta James
Etta James, it's been a long time coming
(At last, at last)
Etta James, it's been a long time coming
(At last, at last)
Etta James, it's been a long time coming
I could've said my love was coming 'long

This song touches almost everyone in some way.
I LOVE this track. The lyrics cut deep in that way only Brian Fallon has ever been able to.
I got to meet Etta James! She was was one of the most beautiful people I have ever met! She said to me and my friends as young men what do you boys know about the blues as she laughed! We didn’t know much but we knew Etta🌹💔☠️🙏
I am the only robert mcvoy around here!
You can hear the pain of in his voice as he breaks into the chorus!
Gotta slap this song on the wedding playlist for sure
See You On The Other Side is definitely my favorite, but first I though second will be Watson, and for the last few days I've been listening to this repeatedly, and, I'm having doubts .
I really loved Painkillers but this album hits it out of the planet, maybe the universe. It's just amazing through and through.
I've never heard a song by Brian I did not love.
I watched Brian play this song from his home last night. You guys would love his sets.
You just don't hear songs like this anymore. This record is amazing.
I'm always amazed that Brian Fallon can fit so many winding and intricate lyrics into a 4 minute song without sounding wordy or long winded. He can pack more emotions and thoughts into each individual song than many musicians can put into an entire album.
Well said. If I had to sum it up you hit it. He's the one artist that surprised me at every turn.
You know those songs you find that just have so much emotion and soul that you find and it changes the way you think if for only a short time, and you just never want that song to end? Its like a religious experience almost. This is that song. I've loved TGA ever since The 59 Sound came out and changed my life. Keep it up Brian!!
It’s official sleepwalkers is out and ready to be put on repeat!
Thank you for introducing me to this song. I miss you, B.
Chills went down my whole body as that final note rang out. Brian has never been short of amazing. His music has always stung in the best of ways and hit me like no other band ever has.
Damn!!!!! So many emotions! This is one of his best.
No words can describe my feelings for this song except love love and love:-)
This song instantly made me wanna cry and I don’t even know why.
It MADE me cry! He just sings it with so much emotion it literally just like hit me in the soul with all the feels. Absolutely one of my favs on this album!
Haha, I relate to this on another level. Typing this with a lump in my throat.
This is fantastic, you can really hear that Springsteen influence in the chorus
I´m without words...this is so beautiful! Thanks Brian for an awesome piece of art.
Still gives me goose bumps every time :)
Damn, Brian. Damn! Thanks for the music, and a soundtrack for the headaches.
i mostly listen to metal and hardcore but how not to love fallon voice and lyrics
Can agree, punk is my thing but how could you not like this guy's stuff
The Magician of Words! love ya Brian!!!!
oh my god!!! Just cruising through some brian fallon and the gaslight anthem and I come across this music.. @BrianFallon your voice gives me goose bumps brother! Definitely my favourite male voice!
Sleepwalker and Local Honey are super Masterpieces!! I can't stop listening
And painkillers. Excellent record too
@@Dicki793 Good album but Sleepwalker and Local HonEy are Masterpieces. Much better
I think there's a glitch with UA-cam - I can only "Like" this one once!
He just knows how to hit you in the heart. Am I right??
yes your right
yes
Well worth the wait. Little teasers of tracks but the whole album as a collective is outstanding. So good and on repeat now constantly.
Listening to this live was a highlight of this year - and yes, I know it's only March.
That chorus man
Wonderful just wonderful. Fallon just keeps getting better and better
Just finished giving the new album a once over, and this is the song I keep wanting to go back to..Hands down my favorite!
The bridge.
Thank you for that Brian
“I used to beg June to burn me alive. If that would get me anywhere to you.”
Paying honor to Johnny and June Carter Cash!
An absolute masterpiece.
one of my favorite songs from the record
This is probably my new favorite song
I love the ghostly voice
Thank you for writing this song - literally my favorite in the whole world right now - amazing
your welcome ?
Today's my birthday AND Brian releases a new record, perfect day!!! Preordered this directly when it was announced ♡ btw this song is so awesome!!!
I think my heart was just punched out of my chest
I dont fucking know how, but this album kinda hits deeper than the ones before.
And the other ones hit deep. But this has something...just....fuck...
Its outstanding mate, I cant stop listening to it, I think its his best work
Another masterpiece.
This should be on Monster Ballads
Born romantic, stay romantic, die romantic 🖤🏴☠️🎩
Who ever thumbs downed this, shame on you! You have no soul.
Officially my favourite song in the past 12months 2nd is forget me not
start of this song is more like something from the Killers, All in All a very good album!
Una de sus mejores canciones, tanto con Gaslight Anthem como en solitario.
Legend ❤️
One word ..class
This chorus fuckin kills me inside but i love this song its like that phrase about watchin a wreck but you cant look away.. It cuts deep. The dying alone part
Oh Brian...
Cant to hear this in Newcastle next month .
Me too ! Brilliant !
I can't place the song, but this connects "Elsie" to Sleepwalkers. It has the same sounding pre chorus, as though it's a sequel.
Song of the year 2018 nominee. Fucking breathtaking.
sweet jesus
Have Mercy, even.
Tu música me inspira un chingo a vivir, somos colegas, gracias a ti tengo un proyecto de Folk/punk acústico llamado Nanuq.
I think I'm in love haha 💘
so am i
Nice ..., very nice 👍
💃🔥💃🔥💃💋
I love how this sounds a little bit like Joey that cover the horrible crowes did.
Whoever Etta is I think I want to marry her
You seriously don't know who she is? Go look up "at last" right now.
i always thought he was saying valerie lol
Bruce? Is that you?
Doesn't sound anything like Bruce
Teenage Dream. Who hears that!?
Definitely agree it's horrible crowes like. Love it
Sure do! Love the horrible crowes version. I've heard Brian ghost writes and I like to think teenage dream may be his. Probably not but I just like to think in my ignorant little head
me
this isnot brian fallon ?
Jesus Christ
Did you spend most of your life waitin'
On a fairytale read between pages?
Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio
Is somebody waiting on the same song?
And we sold our souls on the fantasies we found in records and black and white movies
And I used to beg June to burn me alive, if that would get me anywhere but here
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Twenty long years away from your heart
Til finally, FINALLY, my love is in my arms
My love is in my arms
And it was impossible to hold on to anything
In my chest was a lonesome, growing cyclone
I kept pictures tucked up into the rear view above to the sirens all lost in the ocean
And all we wanted was absolutely everything
Like foolish, hungry young lions
I was lost and alone, a million light years from home
It was nobody's fault but mine
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Twenty long years away from your heart
But finally, FINALLY, my love is in my arms
And was there a hole in your life?
Did you kill to keep warm but somehow never quite satisfied?
Do you feel like it's always time to go?
And it's always wrong, and it's always off, and it's hard to know, which heart to hold
Now do you lie to someone, is someone else, on your mind?
Do you lie to someone with me on your mind?
Now Etta James, hit that symphony
Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
Twenty long years away from your heart
Til finally, FINALLY, my love is in my arms
My love is in my arms
There's the end lyrics he sings I think "My love has come along..."
IMO That last part should say:
"Do you lie with someone with someone else on your mind
Do you lie to someone with me on your mind"
:-)
