    "It's really hard to hate anyone/When you know what they've lived through" is pretty much the best creed that I've ever heard in a song. Thank you, Dawes.

    Perhaps the most poignant ballad ever composed, a succinct chronicle of the human condition. Taylor Goldsmith is unmatched as today's preeminent American songwriter. This song brings me to tears each time I am blessed to experience it. Best wishes to you and Mandy in your union.

      Since my original post, I have listened to this song at least four hundred times and still feel like this is the most profound musical expression ever recorded. The lyric "Punish him for the life he chose / But forgive the past that he did not" is a testament to the conundrum of poetic justice and poetic redemption in the same breath. And in spite of Taylor's genius, Lee's symphonic keys couple with Wylie's and Griffin's perfect and tender underpinnings to elevate this masterpiece into a much greater whole than any of their individual contributions could have ever envisioned. Kudos to Dawes!

      I don't know Josh Ritter's pretty good, Tom Waits hasn't put out an album in a while he's off the charts, Dylan rough and rowdy ways had its moments but still overrated. I can't believe I'm saying this I'm saying this but the Lumineers have their moments it's all subjective I do really enjoy Dawes

      Dawes is the favorite band in our home as well. The masses won't ever have a clue and the industry peddles filth, but Dawes is the freshest of air. I actually formed a tear in verse two, coupled with it's relative chorus.

    I saw him play this live as a new song in Milwaukee. I love this band as much, if not more, than I have loved any band. This song is beautiful. I was so enthralled watching him play it live and solo that I never heard the lyrics. They are, once again, incredible. I do believe this will be my favorite album of 2018 as well. I am very excited for the new album and headlining tour.

    I grew up with a player piano in our house. My mother refinished it when I was in my 30's.
    My sister ended up with it in her home and when our mom died in 2016, I dismantled the piano and have made several pieces of furniture from it which will survive through my children. This video flooded me with those thoughts.
    Thanks.

    I understand that the lyrics are on screen, but they are a challenge to sing along to. So. Here you go. You're welcome
    [Verse 1]
    I will do your interview
    try to explain what I'm going through.
    Give you something to read into
    In a million different ways
    A sick version of telephone
    starts at the clip of the microphone
    A game we though we had all outgrown
    But still everybody plays
    [Chorus]
    Ignoring all of the remedies
    Believing all of the rumours
    With their endless database
    I wanna sit with my enemies and say
    “We should've done this sooner.”
    While I look them in the face
    Maybe that will crack the case
    [Verse 2]
    I got a friend who's been thinking 'bout
    Finally kicking her husband out
    His second life as a talent scout
    Finally got him caught
    While she was throwing out all his clothes
    She heard a voice from beyond the throes
    “Punish him for the life he chose
    but forgive the past that he did not.”
    [Chorus]
    It's really hard to hate anyone
    When you know what they've lived through
    And once they've given you a taste she said
    “This is for you to overcome
    But I will always love you”
    In her perfect state of grace
    Maybe that will crack the case
    [Verse 3]
    Now that we're through with formalities
    What is it you wanna ask of me?
    I'll answer open and honestly
    Whatever that means finding out
    We occupy somebody else opposing side
    On the banks of some great divide
    Two versions of the dream
    [Chorus]
    Countless revisions of history
    trying to tell us the future
    Between each commercial break
    I wanna call of the cavalry
    Declare no winners or losers
    And forgive our shared mistakes
    You can pick the time and place
    Maybe that will crack the case

    • @dawsonschulenberg4589
      @dawsonschulenberg4589 6 років тому +3

      Yeah man, no problem​ here's living in the future for you too!
      [Verse 1]
      I know all of my exits
      I am always planning my escape
      It's the most aggressive symphony
      Of this collective found pain
      And the more that you ignore it
      The more it makes you go insane
      Just look around
      It's the battle of the passwords
      It's the trumpets on the hill
      It's that constant paranoia
      It's that final fire drill
      And if you won't sing the anthem
      Then go find someone else who will
      Their crackin' down
      [Chorus]
      We're livin' in the future!
      So shine a little light
      It may not make it any better
      I'm just hopin' that it might
      I'm not talkin' 'bout forever
      How 'bout just gettin' through the night
      We're livin' in the future!
      So shine a little light
      [Verse 2]
      I'm always lookin' over shoulders
      Not knowing what I'm lookin' for
      Now that the feelin' that someones watching
      Isn't just a feelin' anymore
      Now that both sides of the isle
      Are as good as keepin' score
      We've crossed our line
      But there's a madness to the method
      There's a muckit for the fear
      It's that dance out on that razor's edge
      A wolf held by their ears
      It's the man behind the curtain
      It's the way of all frontiers
      Since the dawn of time
      [Chorus] x2
      We're livin' in the future!
      So shine a little light
      It may not make it any better
      I'm just hopin' that it might
      I'm not talkin' 'bout forever
      How 'bout just gettin' through the night
      We're livin' in the future!
      So shine a little light
