Hits me hard - square in the heart. Beautiful, vulnerable, powerful - what Tim does best. Love the video too - creative people, inspiring atmosphere, sweet pup. Thank you for bringing us this music - looking forward to the rest.
I just talked to one of the band members when they stopped in Sonora, KY to refuel on their way to play in Louisville. Cool band! Good luck tonight fellas! -Sean from Sonora
spectacular! just discovered him/them this past weekend and am listening to all of the recordings. my tiny world is lovelier. thanks to all involved. 😘😘😘
I listened to this song so much when I broke up with an ex-girlfriend a few years ago that I remember listening to it endlessly for days on end as I got over that girl. Today after another break up with the one I considered the "love of my life" due to the distance and other stuff , I had to go live in another country, it comes back to me to help me heal again, with another meaning, with another value, in another time, in another place... God bless Strand of Oaks
Never cease to amaze me how great SOA can be. Channelling a higher power of some kind, they become so much more than the sum of their parts. How could you make this better? Exactly. As timeless as music itself.
My wife and I were briefly hugged by this bear of a man at Newport Folk Festival after his set. We then saw him open for MMJ at the Orpheum in Boston. Love to hear the direction in which he is pointed. Cheers.
I saw him in Columbus when HEAL came out. He did the same thing after the show - came into the crowd and hugged everyone. I had a chance to briefly talk to him after. What a humble, grateful dude.
I still remember the show they gave on Best Kept Secret Festival (2015) in Europe, at that time I didn't know anything about the band and all I knew was I was just missing METZ on another stage... but just in front of me Timothy Showalter was givin' a kinda speech about the facts that american people love to talk a lot and sometimes just for saying nothing much. But that time Timothy was just true, deep and full of love and gratefulness. So he just let the words flowin' and quietly started playing "Heal". My eyes and my heart were just stucked... I cried without knowing why. The song, the words, the power, the resiliency... I don't know. Strand Of Oaks deserves more than love and rock'n'roll
Back once again, much water has flowed under that good old proverbial bridge. Great production and a steady flow to the crescendo, hits where it hurts.
Awesome song, i play it on repeat since the release of the album, thanks you for what you did, thanks you so much for your music, you are incredibly comforting and encouraging. Keep giving me the hope of making some music one day !
I heard about these guys just now on Late Show with Stephen Colbert and wanted to learn about them and listen to their music. This song is amazing and I can't wait to hear more.
Just listened to this song for the first time!! Sure does describe me as I was a few years ago, but not so long ago! Gives me inspiration to hear it now and know That I have grown,.. Just now know , when I sit here. Doubting myself......!👍🌈
I - I don't feel it anymore Somehow I see clearer than before I hold on to the bastion of light I turn my back to the meaning of life And the scene isn't my scene anymore I dug too deep and was crawling on the floor It's what you make and the people you love The more I burn the less I've got to show What's calling enough Jumping in line at the store Keep racing ahead There's no value in the score Grind your teeth And cut off all your sleeves A few good riffs And a sticky bag of greens You said before It's not as bad as it seems A grownup kid Gets to live out on his dream No self control You keep singing through his stream When you wake up It's closer than you think There are cause in our places you can't find It's a weird way of saying goodbye It's a weird way of saying goodbye It's a weird way of saying goodbye There are cause in our places you can't find It's a weird way of saying goodbye It's a weird way of saying goodbye It's a weird way of saying goodbye
Amazing song, Pleas visit Leffinge again (de zwerver Belgium), It was great to meet you after the show in Lafayette (bar in Ostend (together with Eppo etc)
For those of you who don't know this is pretty much the entire band of My Morning Jacket minus Jim James. This is actually incredible. Loving the new album.

Love this song so much. I miss everybody. This is the supergroup I didn't know I needed!
Where the hell has this band been all my life!! The music gods shined down on me today!!

I want this to become mainstream. And at the same time I want it to be kept as a precious secret.
I was thinking the same thing, but didn't have the words.
LOVE the track. AND I just love your studio/home/rig - the ultimate environment. Wicked.
This song hit my soul first listen! This is magic! What a beauty!
Ditto!
same
Love the dog.
Pure, and straight from the heart! Wonderfull!
Now I'm crying at work. Beautiful song.
Only 165K views for this incredible song and many millions of views for despacito song!!! How much people become Tasteless
This is the best song I’ve heard so far in 2019. Awesome stuff Tim!
Good song, good vibrations!!
I'd never heard of them, but I heard this song on the car radio this afternoon. I've seriously been missing out all this time it seems...
The vibes I get from this song are just incredible. I can't comprehend why this song isn't insanely popular.
Love the way this just builds and builds and builds
Without a doubt one of the best songs of the 21st century so far. Hats off to you gentlemen!
Tom! Patrick! Carl! Bo! & Kevin! Yes! Killer Song!
One of those songs you listen to with your eyes closed and the music takes you to another world. Easily one of my favourite songs of all time.
I listened to this song so much when I broke up with an ex-girlfriend a few years ago that I remember listening to it endlessly for days on end as I got over that girl.

This is incredible. Absolutely love this song.
Song blows me away. straight to the soul
Breaking my heart. Beautiful song !

Thanks! You are amazing!!!🤗
Great song Tim. Great video concept and execution to all involved.
"Weird Ways" debuted at #18 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

Saludos desde Bogota, Colombia! Beautiful work gentlemen!
What a treat it was to stumble across your beautiful music
The most beautiful song I listened to in 2020. Thank you!
My wife and I were briefly hugged by this bear of a man at Newport Folk Festival after his set. We then saw him open for MMJ at the Orpheum in Boston. Love to hear the direction in which he is pointed. Cheers.

Heard this a hundred times already! Love it!!!
What a great song, a great sound, a great voice!!
Love this song so glad I stumbled upon this 💯💯❤️❤️

Thanks StuBru 4 playing this song, love from Holland ( yes there a lot of StuBru fans up here : ) )
Love this song so much once it finally gets going
Back once again, much water has flowed under that good old proverbial bridge. Great production and a steady flow to the crescendo, hits where it hurts.
What a pity to not have 50m views. I send it to my boss and made the same comment. World's not fair Tim
Got to see him live this past Saturday in LA. Great show! What a voice! Is that the drummer from MMJ?
A powerful, emotional track that took my breath away. Shaping up as one of my favorite songs of the year. 😊
So I’m just hearing this for the first time and fuck, this is a spaceship ride I never want to get off
Wow. Like it. Guys are good.
My new fav song!!!!!! WOW
You got me. Beautiful piece, pushing those cosmological buttons. Bring on the unity, bring on the great peace.
Wow. Amazing
Beautiful
Blijft een prachtig mooi nummer.🎧❤
This song is absolutely perfect, thank you!
So glad to have you back!

*SWEET !!!. NICELY DONE ...*
This nails me straight to my heart!!!!
thank you, tim
Looking forward to the record!
Just listened to this song for the first time!! Sure does describe me as I was a few years ago, but not so long ago! Gives me inspiration to hear it now and know That I have grown,.. Just now know , when I sit here. Doubting myself......!👍🌈
Already soundtracked my holiday to the outer hebrides and I'm not even going till August! Love the comparison with twod. Get them on tour together.
Beautifull 😍💯
Just put some headphones on and forget everything else and listen to this, it's fucking magic.
So good!!
I think Strand and MMJ need to tour together...FOR SURE
Strand opened for them on the waterfall tour.
It appears that Scotty DID know. :)
Amazing
Bravo 👏 🎈
Excellent, he's the Neil Young of modern times
Funny after 2 songs I said the same thing aloud
Ck out Israel nash
I - I don't feel it anymore
Somehow I see clearer than before
I hold on to the bastion of light
I turn my back to the meaning of life
And the scene isn't my scene anymore
I dug too deep and was crawling on the floor
It's what you make and the people you love
The more I burn the less I've got to show
What's calling enough
Jumping in line at the store
Keep racing ahead
There's no value in the score
Grind your teeth
And cut off all your sleeves
A few good riffs
And a sticky bag of greens
You said before
It's not as bad as it seems
A grownup kid
Gets to live out on his dream
No self control
You keep singing through his stream
When you wake up
It's closer than you think
There are cause in our places you can't find
It's a weird way of saying goodbye
It's a weird way of saying goodbye
It's a weird way of saying goodbye
There are cause in our places you can't find
It's a weird way of saying goodbye
It's a weird way of saying goodbye
It's a weird way of saying goodbye
Amazing song, Pleas visit Leffinge again (de zwerver Belgium), It was great to meet you after the show in Lafayette (bar in Ostend (together with Eppo etc)
What a Song !! A austrian fan will see you in may in nyc
For those of you who don't know this is pretty much the entire band of My Morning Jacket minus Jim James. This is actually incredible. Loving the new album.
fuck this is gorgeous. GORGEOUS
This is beautiful, really is.
This is awesome guys.
reminded me of Steven Wilson in a way. They are totally dedicated to music.
This is so awesome, Tim. You look good with the boys! This song is great. Can't wait to see you in Chicago! Keep on going. Always.
This is the best song I heard in 2022
So goddamn good!
If this song is any indication, the album is going to be a triumphal towering mass of superlative awesomeness.
Jesse MacDonough it’s out. And it is
Very good song a lot of War on drugs in it and that's all right!! Keep going guys!
Was thinking the exact same thing about TWoD vibe. Already love Strand of Oaks, but that just enhances this tune for me.
love those fuzzed out guitars, just like War on Drugs. great vocals too
@Klaas Vos great song indeed, thanks. I will follow that band also!!!
This song just blessed my soul so much!
Yes!!!!
Wow. Such a strong song.
I, I don't feel it anymore
Somehow I see clearer than before
I hold on to the bastian of life
I turn my back to the meaning of life
And the scene isn't my scene anymore
I dug too deep and was crawling on the floor
It's what you make and the people you love
The more I burn the less I've got to show
What's calling me now is
Jumping in line at the store
Keep racin' ahead there's
No value in the score
Grind your teeth
And cut off all your sleeves
A few good rifs
And a sticky bag of cream
You said therefore
It's not as bad as it seems
A corner kid gets to live out all his dreams
No self control
You keep singin' through the screams
When you let go it's closer than you think
There are colors in the places you can't find
It's a way of (way of) saying goodbye
It's a way of (way of) saying goodbye
It's a way of (way of) saying goodbye
There are colors in the places you can't find
It's a way of (way of) saying goodbye
It's a way of (way of) saying goodbye
It's a way of (way of) saying goodbye
Bastion of light ;)
✌
Wow!!
This is great.
My brain just melted into a Dali clock... Well done gents!
Solo reminds me of Marty Wilson piper.
Yes the Church .what another great band
Carl from Sunday Cool did a really good job here
This song is helping to put me back together after the Great and Terrible Crack Up of the past two years. Godspeed, Strand of Oaks.
hope it's all working out brother!
It has been one hell of a ride, and it continues
Lyrics - please do correct if wrong
Strand Of Oaks - Weird Ways
I - I don't feel it anymore
somehow I see clearer than before
I hold on to the bastion of light
I'm turning my back to the meaning of light
and the scene isn't my scene anymore
I dug too deep and was crawling on the floor
it's what you make and the people you love
the more I burn the less I've got to show
what's calling them now
jumping in line at the store
keep racing ahead
there's no value in the score
grind your teeth
and cut off all your sleeves
a few good riffs
and a sticky bag of greens
you said before
it's not as bad as it seems

it's a weird way of saying goodbye
it's a weird way of saying goodbye
there are colors in the places you can't find
it's a weird way of saying goodbye
it's a weird way of saying goodbye
it's a weird way of saying goodbye
It sounds to me as if he's saying...I hold on to the Bastion of Life instead of I hold on to the Question of Life. Shrug..
@@mountainmanwannabe9495 You're right, thx!
@@jochenphlypo5743 No Problem!
"...live out all his dreams" I think is the correct one.
Bastion of light, not bastion of life.
Nailed it Tim. You fuckin' nailed it.
The shiny, lenticular picture of Liberace took me by surprise.
Stunning when are you heading over to the UK?
Hell yeah
Imagine being that dog just meandering through one of the best fucking songs ever
