We will call this place our home, The dirt in which our roots may grow. Though the storms will push and pull, We will call this place our home. We’ll tell our stories on these walls. Every year, measure how tall. And just like a work of art, We’ll tell our stories on these walls. Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind. Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide. Settle our bones like wood over time, over time. Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine. A little broken, a little new. We are the impact and the glue. Capable of more than we know, We call this fixer upper home. With each year, our color fades. Slowly, our paint chips away. But we will find the strength And the nerve it takes To repaint and repaint and repaint every day. Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind. Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide. Settle our bones like wood over time, over time. Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine. Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind. Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide. Settle our bones like wood over time, over time. Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine. Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine. Smaller than dust on this map Lies the greatest thing we have: The dirt in which our roots may grow And the right to call it home.
As I listened once again to this soulful piece, I couldn't help tearing up at the line, "Call this fixter upper our home..." This body of ours in just on loan. We try to improve, upgrade, lose weight as well as gain. We botox this and that, we pollute it, cleanse it, but do we truly have the ability to fix it up to perfection? I've said this, to say that it is our soul that we must purify. It is our spirit that we can work on, improve, bring to the best that it can be. It doesn't matter about the outer shell. It is what lies beneath that truly matter. Yes, for 10 years or 100, we will call this body of ours our "home". But when it's all over, do you truly believe that this broken, frail body that we housed is what is really important..."...be kind...let our hearts be opened wide..." And when necessary -" repaint, repaint, repaint everyday".
You know you have found someone special when you lie on your bed at 2 in the morning feeling overloaded and inept at wording the emotion their music gives you This is the music I want to be played when I look at life for the final time
One of my biggest wishes is simply to sit next to you watching the marvelous things of nature while listening and singing along together... Sleeping At Last: you completely touch my senses ❤️
I've always love Sleeping at Last's songs since young because the musics are calming. But as I grow older, my love for the songs deepened as slowly I understand more about the lyrics.
You're one of my favorite singers. I am so fascinated by the lyrics, your voice and basically everything. You are the type of artist that I never truly want to forget.
Everything I have heard you do just reaches out and not only touches the heart but reaches in and strokes the essence of the soul. Thank you for being and creating such lovely music.
i listen to this song when i’m happiest and when im sobbing. this song has been my favorite song for over a year now. and i think it will forever be my favorite song
This was the most beautiful song I've ever heard, and I'm serious. Your voice is so soft and mesmerizing, it made me want to cry. Thank you for making this amazing song.
bread, salt and wine .... wedding blessing/house warming gift ... beautiful sentiments in the lyrics so wonderfully intertwined and expressed in a soft melody by a warm voice ... thank you for sharing your talents
Ryan's music is masterpiece of the Soul. His music is like soul work. I feel my own being nourished by his words, voice and beautiful melodies. Thanks brother for all your music. You are one of a kind!💚💙
How is it that I find myself tranquil and content when I listen to this song and other songs by you? You have been gifted, and a beautiful gift at that; transforming through the sharing of your soul. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is soooo beautiful! I listen to this everyday. Like a prayer, like a vow, like a mantra. Thank you Sleeping At Last for bringing this song to life. Love you!
"This place is home. And for years it will be. We'll tell our stories on these walls. Just like a work of art. Let our hearts like doors open wide. Settle our bones like wood over time. We are capable of more than we know. We will colonize this north and thrive here. Away from them. We will find the strength it takes to repaint our image. One day they'll know us as exceptional. Wonderful. Peaceful. Human. For now we fight. For now we will show them what it's like to live. What's it's like to be family. What it's like to live. In this place we call home. We are the light, we are the warmth, we are the heat. We are the Flame!" -Caldríe Thuaildh story quote from one I wrote
I just want to curl up in a comfy corner and cry. This song is so amazing. This band never ever seizes to amaze me and make me gasp in awe. I just love the music. I want to live in the music, I want it to take me away to the beautiful world I create in the madness of my mind when I hear the songs.
wow. I was listening and so touched and the song turned so gentle and delicate in the end, I was holding my breath. this is so beautiful, thank you so much for your music, @Sleeping At Last! :)
I will forever be indebted to this one person who edited a video about Rick and Michonne of the Walking with this Masterpiece of a song! 🙌🏾🎶💕 I had an instant massive musical crush! 🙇🏾♀️😭 I barely can express the way Sleeping At Last makes me feel, bless 'em ❤
+Vanessa Coelho Saturn is my favourite. It's just such a beautiful and moving piece. Ryan is one of the most unique and talented artists out there for sure.
Thank u so much ! I feel the name sleeping at last , is perfect .( you have amazing voice and excellent music ) you really help me to sleep and calm me .
This is so beautiful, and so sad at the same time. There's so much talent and beauty and in thi voice, and the choice of instruments is perfect, not too much but still, it let the emotions comes slowly and that's the thing. That's beauty, simplicity. Thank you !
I love this song it has made me feel something so powerful and emotional that’s how you know this is a good song I want to dance to it for my senior solo that you for making such beautiful music
This song makes me feel like everything will be the way i dream of some day, and its such a settling feeling to have for 4 minutes.. or more like one hour cause i keep this song on repeat hehe ;-)
This is made for 2020.. for the people and families affected from the Beirut blast, the lost of wildlife in France and Turkey, lost lives due to COVID-19, suicide and mental health depression. The list could go on and on. This very song is needed for a HOPE in every human kind. Thank you SAL.
We will call this place our home The dirt in which our roots may grow Though the storms will push and pull We will call this place our home We'll tell our stories on these walls Every year, measure how tall And just like a work of art We'll tell our stories on these walls Let the years we're here be kind, be kind Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide Settle our bones like wood over time, over time Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine A little broken, a little new We are the impact and the glue Capable more than we know To call this fixer upper home With each year, our color fades Slowly, our paint chips away But we will find the strength And the nerve it takes To repaint and repaint and repaint every day Let the years we're here be kind, be kind Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide Settle our bones like wood over time, over time Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine Let the years we're here be kind, be kind Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide Settle our bones like wood over time, over time Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine Smaller than dust on this map Lies the greatest thing we have The dirt in which our roots may grow And the right to call it home
Love your voice, love the fact the I thought it was Nina Simone the first time I heard you (which was yesterday). I hope that does not offend you. Art is infinite when there is talent. You are a living proof of that.
What this song says Imo - You go through days of bliss and hell in your life (home) or literally within your home and within that moment everything seems horrible. As you grow you learn and realize a lot of things in life but the one that matters most is to cherish what you already have. Weather it be family, relationships-anything. Cherish that and always move forward with the knowledge of what was in your past. Take care of you and your home. Whatever that may be bc it is a very rare and precious thing.
We will call this place our home,
The dirt in which our roots may grow.
Though the storms will push and pull,
We will call this place our home.
We’ll tell our stories on these walls.
Every year, measure how tall.
And just like a work of art,
We’ll tell our stories on these walls.
Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind.
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
A little broken, a little new.
We are the impact and the glue.
Capable of more than we know,
We call this fixer upper home.
With each year, our color fades.
Slowly, our paint chips away.
But we will find the strength
And the nerve it takes
To repaint and repaint and repaint every day.
Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind.
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind.
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
Smaller than dust on this map
Lies the greatest thing we have:
The dirt in which our roots may grow
And the right to call it home.
Thanks, bud.
Thank you
How are you so underrated? This is honestly the most calming, beautiful music I've ever heard
are perfect
Because no sex/boobies/money/drugs/cars... media logic..
Esta música no se entiende con la mente sino con el corazón y el Alma
Yes my dance solo is too this song
As I listened once again to this soulful piece, I couldn't help tearing up at the line, "Call this fixter upper our home..." This body of ours in just on loan.

I'm very happy I came across this video. Heaven is the home we hope to see when we are sleeping at last :)
this song is like crumbling all my burdens into pieces and laying down all my worries on a cushioned rainbow :) simply exquisite
Nothing is more comforting than Ryan's voice. I feel like I'm loved and hugged by his voice everytime I listen Sleeping at last! ❤
I've always love Sleeping at Last's songs since young because the musics are calming. But as I grow older, my love for the songs deepened as slowly I understand more about the lyrics.
I'm listening to this in my last moments at the house I spent most of my life in. I'm only crying a lot, I'm going to miss this dingy old place
You're one of my favorite singers. I am so fascinated by the lyrics, your voice and basically everything. You are the type of artist that I never truly want to forget.
Agreed
Everything I have heard you do just reaches out and not only touches the heart but reaches in and strokes the essence of the soul. Thank you for being and creating such lovely music.
i listen to this song when i’m happiest and when im sobbing. this song has been my favorite song for over a year now. and i think it will forever be my favorite song
I had to fight tears when I heard those last few lines. Made me feel like I don't appreciate anything in life!
When I get my own home this will be the first song I will play in it. Almost like a prayer. Thank you for everything you have given us. :)
This was the most beautiful song I've ever heard, and I'm serious. Your voice is so soft and mesmerizing, it made me want to cry. Thank you for making this amazing song.

wow. I can't believe how this song connects with the deepest parts of my soul. beauty. music, as it should be.
I heard this song on Songza, and went right to iTunes and bought the album. Atlas: Year One is epic. Love your writing, and your musical style.
This is soooo beautiful! I listen to this everyday. Like a prayer, like a vow, like a mantra. Thank you Sleeping At Last for bringing this song to life. Love you!

We will call this place our home
The dirt in which our roots may grow
Though the storms will push and pull
We will call this place our home
We'll tell our stories on these walls
Every year, measure how tall
And just like a work of art
We'll tell our stories on these walls
Let the years we're here be kind, be kind
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine
A little broken, a little new
We are the impact and the glue
Capable more than we know
To call this fixer upper home

I legit jumped up and down when I figured out my choir was singing this.
I don’t have anything else to say just that it’s amazingly amazing
I cant wait to the day when you become a global band you really do deserve it!
The Heaven is in this music. 😢💕
you did this video very well dear Ryan. i do like it. :)
Love your voice, love the fact the I thought it was Nina Simone the first time I heard you (which was yesterday). I hope that does not offend you. Art is infinite when there is talent. You are a living proof of that.
I'm sobbing
Your song is much better than other pop songs in the world for me...
Love it!
:) I love this song!!
This song keeps my feet on the ground. Better than any religion in this world.
lovely song x
Obrigado... apenas obrigado! Posso dizer que esse vídeo me salvou!
This song is one of our choir pieces that has been sung for years. The upperclassmen cried while singing with us.
So good
I’m glad to know sleeping at last :)
Love it man
I wish there was an 8d version of this, but this is beautiful nonetheless!

you're amazing and also can you make an artsy mv for Venus? so good!
This song makes me think that there is still something good inside of me.
this should be world wide.........
I love it (:
You're my idol
"hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home!" ❤
Jesus.
Something about this reminds me of When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2
Just wanted to share this was the song I walked down the aisle to:)
