I don't think it's intended to be the nicest thing you can say to someone. There's songs that try to do that but end up sounding cheesing or contrived. I think it's instead an innocent expression of nostalgia, and wanting things to stay the same but knowing full well that they cannot. Or prehaps it's saying to someone dear, "I'm not the person I once was, or the person I thought I'd be. But that doesn't mean you have to change too."
Well, I think the statement is actually a joke, but it's meant to be a light hearted way to say I love you, and I hope your life will always go well. It's a sweet sentiment, and an original lyric that is very adorable to me, and to those who love music, I think. "I hope you're brother's El Camino runs forever" is another line in this like it, it's absurd, because of course it won't run forever, but it's a sweet, funny, light hearted way to say, I still love you & want the best for you. Very nice lyric, I love it.
The day before he died, this album came out. Dawes was my favourite band at the time. But after losing one of my best friends. I didn't want to listen to this album until I was ready. This song will forever be yours Duncan. I love you brother.

Just went to a concert in which this band opened. It didn't take long for us, ( having not been familiar with them), to be thrilled that we found a new band that we very much like! Harmonies great, guitar solos great but wanted more, lyrics right up our alley, demeanor of the atmosphere was beautiful. Front man and singer, was so gracious and humble with the huge crowd. Connected with the audience beautifully. Most of all the band gave us a great night and we will be seeking them out to hear more.
Never listened to it with my old man, but he texted it to me quite often. Life without a chaperone is not what I ever wanted it to be. The Heavy Chevy will run forever in spirit. I see my Dad as no one ever saw him as he was to me...#1. STP broke up too often. I miss you and love you Dad. Thanks for giving me Dawes from FUV.
I am sorry but English is not my first language, I couldn't find an accurate description, what does the quote 'life withouth a chaperone' actually means?
I heard this song for the 1st time today, on a local college station in St Louis Mo. as I'm loading up my trailer to go camping with my wife and kids...one of which is 19 and drives an elcamino. Life is good..
I am a songwriter for life. Its through me like a cities name in a stick of rock . I get so jaded listening to bad writing and then there is Dawes. One of the best bands out there . I keep returning to the power of their words first and then the music takes me. It is seldom in that order with music nowadays as the lyricist seems be down the food chain in bad collaborations. Dawes explore who we are beyond the lens of love or loss .There is so much more to be open to and opened by.
Taylor is one of the best songwriters out there, and I love how this song has become a singalong at the end of most of their concerts now. Gets to me every time.
How many more times can I hear this and "A Little Bit of Everything" and NOT have it bring a tear to my eye? Songwriting dosen't get any better than that in my book!
Sitting in the dark, March 27 2021 and this is still my go to song that always brings a smile to my face. Congratulations on the new baby, Taylor and Mandy.
One of my good friends recently passed away. He was a musician out in Nashville, but before those days we played in a band together for many years in the Twin Cities. Before me moved out there we went to see Dawes in concert. I'd never seen them and only knew a handful of tunes, but I left a fan for sure. This song has been an incredible source of comfort right now and I don't know if the band will ever see this, but in case they do I want them to know how much this tune means to me and how much they're music meant to him. Also, they're officially never allowed to break up.
Saw these guys live nearly a year ago, they were opening for some guy my girlfriend wanted to see in concert. I was absolutely blown away, a few of the songs they played actually made me tear up a bit. Great fucking band.
A friend recommended Dawes to me; the first video I tried ( the official "When My Time Comes" ) just didn't do it for me. On the hottest night of a 2019 eastern Canadian summer, I couldn't sleep, so I checked out this video; I'm a fan for life.
This song seriously brought tears to my eyes. Brought back a flood of memories of the best friend I've ever had. (Only it was her brother's old Firebird). Miss her and those days more I could ever say, but you managed to write a song to say it for me.
Last week I stepped away from my band. Toughest decision I've made in a long time. We've worked so hard to get to the point we're at now but there's a voice in my heart that is leading me another direction. They'll be getting a replacement. Here's to touring the country with my best friends. The late night drives, the hot french fries. The National Parks, you're my favorite band, and may you always stay together.
Thanksgiving 2016. My Husband introduced me to this song and we both cried like babies. Getting up there in years this really hits you about how fast your youth passes you by. Awesome Song and Video !!!!! Hope my Daddy's Chevy Runs Forever !
First saw this band when they opened Aug 2nd 2018 for Jeff Lynnes Elo. Very impressed, loved this song especially. I'm 60 years old, am i too old to appreciate young bands? I think not cuz my fav bands are fading away with age.
Oddly enough Brandon Flowers of the Killers brought me here and honestly watching this video a year after falling in love with Dawes is just beautiful finality.
This video makes me feel so warm inside. Been following them since North Hills and when Tay left the band this song got a sad, deeper meaning. Still one of their best jams
I never said a thing about "one note". Building a crescendo should be in the first chorus, not the last one. Sounds like a crowd pleaser....Hope you figure it out.
Rarely does one come across a song so authentic and genuine. Saying the artist should have worked "building a crescendo in the first chorus" seems really silly.
I loved this song from the first time I heard it when it originally came out, but somehow it took eight years for me to finally see the music video. Glad to see it was worth the wait.
Love how you guys channel Zevon, Browne, and Dire Straits. You have a great and original sound. Pumped to be seeing you in concert for the second time.
I just love this song- no matter what...these guys came to me through Jordan Zevon's mention- and wow, what a steller addition to my playlists. It's definitely a blessing and a hope song.
Thanks for this song...it just compelled me to reach out to my best friend in high school that i haven't seen or talked to in probably 35 years...made me sad and happy at the same time. My new favorite song. (I wonder if changing "always been to me" to "always were to me" was intentional. )
This is special. You guys have a lot of great songs, and you've for sure got the lock down on Desperadoes under the Eaves, as well as Lawyers, Guns, and Money, but this tune right here- this is one of the great ones that don't come along often, and it's really amazing to hear something so beautiful, powerful, and kind. Also the Deer Tick sign was hilarious. Those guys are great too. They're from my home state! Anyway, thanks for making this tune. I lost one of my best friends about a month ago, and this song really has meant a lot to me.
Sometimes I think this song sounds like a fathers last words to his baby girl. She’s young, but not an actual baby, and her coming of age story started rough. And despite this he knows she’ll come out on the other side a better person.
This has to be Dawes signature tune.i also like how they gave a shout out to Charlottesville.
seriously though, is "I hope all your favorite bands stay together" the nicest thing you could say to someone or not?
+cfiore 2012 I've thought that exact same thing!
There's no climax in the chorus...just a nice melody.
I don't think it's intended to be the nicest thing you can say to someone. There's songs that try to do that but end up sounding cheesing or contrived. I think it's instead an innocent expression of nostalgia, and wanting things to stay the same but knowing full well that they cannot. Or prehaps it's saying to someone dear, "I'm not the person I once was, or the person I thought I'd be. But that doesn't mean you have to change too."
Probably the nicest thing you can say to somebody is "I hope the world sees the same person that you've always been to me."
Well, I think the statement is actually a joke, but it's meant to be a light hearted way to say I love you, and I hope your life will always go well. It's a sweet sentiment, and an original lyric that is very adorable to me, and to those who love music, I think. "I hope you're brother's El Camino runs forever" is another line in this like it, it's absurd, because of course it won't run forever, but it's a sweet, funny, light hearted way to say, I still love you & want the best for you.

Sad condolences, kind stranger. I hope you've found some modicum of peace. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. May this sweet song forever be a tribute to him! 🥃 It always makes me cry. Hang in there!
This is just one of those songs that is impossible not to like. Really sweet tune:)

Oh god I missed that 'see more' button, and you got them all too!! Sorry about that!!
You da real MVP.
Such a sweet sentiment. Reminds me of an Irish Blessing.
Kind of like "The Parting Glass."
Favorite Dawes song and video, but have many on my playlist.
Just went to a concert in which this band opened. It didn't take long for us, ( having not been familiar with them), to be thrilled that we found a new band that we very much like!

Great story. Was it the ELO concert?
Never listened to it with my old man, but he texted it to me quite often. Life without a chaperone is not what I ever wanted it to be. The Heavy Chevy will run forever in spirit.

I am sorry but English is not my first language, I couldn't find an accurate description, what does the quote 'life withouth a chaperone' actually means?
@@daniclas12 life without a chaperone, means in my opinion, without your parents (your guides), chaperone being someone who guides you.
Very well put Matt, from me to you, cheers mate.
How can people dislike the thoughtfulness and joy in this video? This made me cry. Wow!
Don't ask me why but this song makes me cry every time. Timeless ❤❤❤
This hit my feels,.. then I listened too Rachel price cover Tom Waits, 'Take it with me '@ live from here
Next level vibe ✨️
@@chillyb4346 I'm going to take a listen.
Me too. And the little shit sticking his face out cracks me Up!
Ugly crying right now.
Me too
I heard this song for the 1st time today, on a local college station in St Louis Mo. as I'm loading up my trailer to go camping with my wife and kids...one of which is 19 and drives an elcamino. Life is good..
Still listening in st.louis..take care
The peaceful stillness,
The gentle breeze through the trees,
Love this fucking band
I hope my Beloved Dad's Chevy runs Forever 🏃♂️❤

Absolutely love this video, this song, this band...
This song brings me to tears since it's so nostalgic and sweet.

Just saw Dawes at All In music festival. Subsribbled
How many more times can I hear this and "A Little Bit of Everything" and NOT have it bring a tear to my eye? Songwriting dosen't get any better than that in my book!
Amen.
These guys, Avetts, Jason Isbell; I think one of the reasons I love them all is that they're criminally under- rated.
Both of those songs bring me to tears during their concerts now.
I love that this came out right after I moved to santa fe
Sitting in the dark, March 27 2021 and this is still my go to song that always brings a smile to my face. Congratulations on the new baby, Taylor and Mandy.
maybe the greatest friendship song ever

Brandon Nelson so sorry for your loss but I’m so glad you will always have this memory. Dawes puts on an incredible show! 💕
This song is one of my favorites you guys have ever written. This lifted me up, and reminded me what matters in these dark times. Thank you.

I'm not crying.
One of the greatest music videos of all time.
never heard this song before and I cried listening to it like wtf this song is fucking awesome man

@@christrotter3052 Looks like even more people missed your joke.
Spinal Tap breaking up was rough bruh
Just discovering these guys. Best thing to happen to me all of 2020.
Great song in so many ways.
@3:20 I love the bit at the end with the kids singing along.
Oddly enough Brandon Flowers of the Killers brought me here and honestly watching this video a year after falling in love with Dawes is just beautiful finality.
Joel Guerrero cool
Same. Same. Pleasant surprise seeing Brandon multiple times in the video.
Just discovered this,Awesome, been missing out lol
I heard this on my way home today, and I started crying. It's just so sweet. :)
Love the sentiment of this song.
Simple. Beautiful. Heartfelt. Honest. Something we all wish for.
I saw this live in Oakland recently and it's even more amazing live. I love Dawes so much.
Alexandra Clark 😎
This video makes me feel so warm inside. Been following them since North Hills and when Tay left the band this song got a sad, deeper meaning. Still one of their best jams
And this is why I absolutely love Dawes!
It’s all ending. What a beautiful song to remember.
'Favorite band' - sensationally sentimental song stands out as my all time favorite song since the year 2016 !!!!!!
Ojalá
This song. Wow. My heart.
one word......beautiful
I don't know how I haven't watched this yet. I can't stop smiling. (
The lyric is exceptional, very visual...the music could be a soaring anthem, but it never builds...
Change one note to make it a "soaring anthem" and you've lost me.
I never said a thing about "one note". Building a crescendo should be in the first chorus, not the last one. Sounds like a crowd pleaser....Hope you figure it out.
Rarely does one come across a song so authentic and genuine. Saying the artist should have worked "building a crescendo in the first chorus" seems really silly.
ELO/Dawes concert brought me here, and i am SOOO glad! Awesome song, and band!
Michael Norman awesome 😎
Goosebumps emerging....
7 years later, Dawes is still together, but Wylie is gone...
and now Lee is gone as well
@@Sabouma28 yup.. so sad
This song is so beautiful it makes me cry every time I hear it...
I loved this song from the first time I heard it when it originally came out, but somehow it took eight years for me to finally see the music video. Glad to see it was worth the wait.
hey Rob all our favorite bands stayed together and you were and will always be my best friend R.I.P buddy missing you
For both of the Plummet brothers. Love you brother
So good!!!!!!, Great to see the Outlaw from South Dakota
Man I think anyone can dedicate this song to their most loved one.
This song always brings me to tears. Love singing it loud, laughing and crying and loving life all at the same time@ Love and miss you Ruthey!
such a cool, lyric driven band. definitely an inspiration for our music. keep it up!
this song gives me goose bumps.
Wow what a good song
Love how you guys channel Zevon, Browne, and Dire Straits. You have a great and original sound. Pumped to be seeing you in concert for the second time.

I just came across this and it's so, so great.

Damn that song is..... just kickass. man...good stuff..love it
Thanks for this song...it just compelled me to reach out to my best friend in high school that i haven't seen or talked to in probably 35 years...made me sad and happy at the same time. My new favorite song. (I wonder if changing "always been to me" to "always were to me" was intentional. )
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
how cute is the last part with those kids.. ♥ and the way how he was smiling.. pure happiness!!!
The most iconic song!
Brandon Flowers is perfect for this music video
i just got chills

what a fun video of a great song from a great band
Beautiful song!
Well,I sure hope this band stays together.
Their bass player left a few months ago!
and now their keyboard player also leaves.... @@zigner
Sometimes I think this song sounds like a fathers last words to his baby girl. She’s young, but not an actual baby, and her coming of age story started rough. And despite this he knows she’ll come out on the other side a better person.
Great song - takes me back to the '60's!!! Peace, Baby.
That kicked ass
CD92.9 brought me here. Thanks for the memories. :)
Met my person at a Dawes show. This song is pretty important.
Yep. This grown man actually cried at the end when those kids started singing. By the way, the new album? My goodness. Best thing I’ve heard all year.
beautiful. hopefully there will be a return to this kind of form for your next album
I got busy with Uni and forgot to send in a video 😔 This brings back memories of Fargo and Salida. 💙
Dawes se ha convertido en una de mis bandas favoritas, Y este vídeo combina perfecto con la canción.Simplemente hermoso
Llego tarde, pero le abrieron a The Killers en GDL! Estuve ahí y heme aquí!
This video makes me happy
Wholesome.
Love this song. Thank you for wonderful lyrics and the tune
I cry. This song is beautiful 💗
found out about Dawes and this this song on Sirius, I love them now xD
Loved this song from the moment I heard it going to Ocean City. Can't get enough of it
oh. very beautifull
Perfect.
