Iheard this song for the first time about 25 minutes ago. By the end of it I knew this was my favorite song. It resonates within my soul. I've listened 3 times to it now and will continue for a while. It's inexplicable how such a song can emerge out of nowhere and touch me so deeply.
I have listened to this song, on repeat, so many times. I forward the link to my teens, just so they know..." It's still alright". This song is a quiet banger.
You really help me get through the hard times. My father killed himself, my best friend, my brother died from heroin OD. The rest of my family won't talk to me. But the music helps. Thank you sir
Hang in there friend and keep on fighting your battles. There is beauty, friendship and love in this world as well, never forget that. I believe in love and kindness.
I may have posted thus before but I am dying, and I am getting my funeral arrangements made so my kids don't have to. I have decided to tell the story of my life and send messages to my loved ones through the music played during the visitation. the people receiving messages will know when they hear certain songs. This song was chosen tell tell my story and to help apologise for who I am.
I'm in a very similar situation, and music speaks volumes about life. Don't be afraid and don't apologize for who you are/were. Live in the moment and love hard. Love and blessings to you and those you hold dear.❤
@@jimeesueboltz3307 I have lived my life and I won't make excuses. You live with other people who shouldn't have to suffer because of your "free spirit". I have lived in the moment my whole life and have hurt a lot of people. I want them to know I am sorry and that in spite of my actions I loved them and app
Tomorrow I’ll be a month sober, days are up and down and I thought sobriety would be more clear but it’s not, but with bad moments come many more good ones and this song is telling me to stick with it, thank you friend
Hit 7 months yesterday so it looks like we’re on the same timing. Former heroin/fentanyl/cocaine/meth addict. Had a great first few you months and spent the day before hitting 7 months crying my eyes out and wondering if I’ll ever be able to just wake up in the morning without wondering if I’d be better off dead. But I got through it that day with the help of people who love me and spent this morning snuggled with the woman of my dreams that I have been chasing for 10 long years. I don’t know if life ever gets more “clear” or easier but I think if you stay on the right path you at least get occasional moments like I had this morning where it could not possibly be any better. Whether you hit 7 months sober, fell off and restarted and are back in the battle of active addiction I hope you’re still out there and doing alright!
i'm married man with two kids, i just lost my mom from battling pancreatic cancer, have anxiety......but it's still alright.......love you nathaniel rateliff. this song is very wonderful.
I hope things are settling a bit now. You sound like a very wonderful, loving man. This is an incredible song. Best of all good wishes to you and your family.
My condolences to you and your family. Lost my mom to complications from Alzheimer's in 2011. While her slow demise was heart wrenching, her passing released her from the pain she suffered in the final stages. I still think about her several times every day. The images of her that I hold in my mind are when she was vibrant in her 20s, as well as when she'd laugh. So when thoughts of missing her arise, I reason that now she is whole and happy again. The heartache never leaves, but one way or another one finds a way to cope. May the good memories of your mom take you to your special place of solace.
I lost my Dad, brother, and a dear friend within two years and I've been listening to this song for a while now. It hits me in the soft spot, to say the least. Makes me cry every time. Thank you to Nathaniel and Pickathon for posting this.
Sitting with a beer and my fathers ashes in my pocket. One day after Father’s Day, 15 years on the road with no family. I was standing on the ledge of a 40 story building and thinking about it. Guess I was praying for wings to grow. Where would I be without music. Thanks for writing this brother.
@@jondufrene5873 Amen brother, it’s helped me out of a lot of dark places as well. I bet Nathaniel really used his song writing and playing abilities to get out of them too.
It was a bittersweet Pickathon. We’d lost Richard Swift the year prior. Swift produced and played on many of the records by performers from that year. Nathaniel was real and raw.
I have been divorced for one year and have sole custody of 7 beautiful children. This song strikes me with so much truth, and when I feel alone, I still feel that there are others who feel an understanding to this song and I feel so much less alone. I am so grateful to Nathaniel Rateliff (my fellow Coloradan), and although he will never know this, I wish him the best for what he has given me with this song.
I only discovered these guys this past weekend on Austin City limits and I can't put it down turned my brother on to it also but you worry me is really nice
To me this song is about being so low in life, but then realizing all the beauty that's still to be discovered. Using that as your strength.... Keep your head up, and keep smiling. Find the strength of the energy of the Earth. For it is a living entity that can give and take 🌎
I've seen Nathaniel three times live. Each time I'm moved. He is so talented. I'm pretty sure my Alexa is tired of hearing me say "play Nathaniel Rateliff". This song, the farm, the guitar...amazing.
Just discovered Nathaniel. Some great music coming out of the US these days, maybe because of the state of the world but what a talented man. Thank you UA-cam
This is one of the most honest performances I've ever seen. His pain is palpable and you can tell that while he is playing (very well BTW) he is reflecting on his own words as they were seemingly (or definitely) life experiences.
What is kind of scary about Nathan’s songs is you know he has lived them. Take for instance SOB, he graphically describes DT’s. He said that he wrote it after a bad spell in London.
My grandpa used to wear a lot of turquoise jewelry and even left me some when he passed that I wear from time to time even though he wore it much better than I ever could. Every time I see Nathaniel sporting his it takes me back to memories of my grandpa. Glad others appreciate it as well.
Nathaniel is such an important musician to my soul. So many early mornings, late afternoons and dark nights I've spent with his music. Happy moments and heart breaking memories. He's been there. He'll never see this, but I wish I have the opportunity to tell him one day.
His set at The Woods Stage last year was one of the most special music moments of my 46 years here. See you in August for more memory makers. I appreciate Pickathon big times!
"Start praying for wings to grow" As a 52 year old middle aged fuck who doesn't really care for this life anymore, I've had my loves and my grace. I have one dog to take care of then I'm done. That being said, really, really love this song.
@@matthebert007 appreciate the inquiry. The first 4 I had were Poms, this last one is a goofy haired , long hair Chihuahua. He's got hound in him as well, as he is about 25lb's got the goggley eyes and a body built like a sausage. He's doing well, as I hope you are as well. Take care.
@@70Slinger Well that's good. I was really asking how you were. you know, as awesome as your dog is, there will be more to live for. Have faith and just help others along to way to get peace.
53 is young ❤ keep moving forward, find something that helps you smile, when I'm down I take time to do something nice for someone. Call a friend, make someone smile, find an AA meeting even if you're not ❤ 😊
@@evalampman761 I appreciate that, I posted that when I was pretty depressed, Nathaniel and his band are just great. Finding people on the internet who actually care enough to reach out and post something as well is very cool. Thank you.
As a musician this song is such a pleasure to play, just sitting here on the deck strumming away with a cold brew feeling so relaxed. Cheers brothers and sisters!
'Your idle hands are all that stands from your time in the dark...but it's still alright' This hits home so much and I thank you from one musician to another for this line. Discovered you recently and listened to all your material. Everything you've produced is from the heart and you can hear it. I smell longevity for your career and I hope I'm right. Take care and keep it up.
It ain't alright, the hardness of my head Now, close your eyes and spin around Say, hard times you could find, it Ain't the way that you want But it's still alright Late at night, do you lay around wondering?

Teared up brother.... Great song, great voice, great guy.
Every time.
He finds a piece of all of us, handles it delicately, and returns it. And we are better for that. Thank you Mr. Rateliff.
What a lovely and poetic description of a lovely poet!
1:40 you can see the sadness enter him in the next 10-15 seconds. Very good song from the heart and soul
It was a bittersweet Pickathon. We’d lost Richard Swift the year prior. Swift produced and played on many of the records by performers from that year. Nathaniel was real and raw.

Almost looks like he tears up while singing...hair on my arms stands up while listening. Pure gold
At the end you can hear him swallow the lump in his throat
" I'll be damned if this old man don't start to count on his losses " . That line hits me straight in the soul man !!!!!
me too
fav line of the song
I was born in the 60's great tunes and still listening. Still here August 2024!!! Put them ear buds in blast that music. Lock the world out side!
I think I’ve listened to this song at least 50 times in 4 days. I was sitting on my couch crying and it just came on. It’s helping through it.
I just put it on repeat... makes me cry, makes me happy, makes me brave.
@@andyeis923 I really love it and the song time stands still also.
I only discovered these guys this past weekend on Austin City limits and I can't put it down turned my brother on to it also but you worry me is really nice
We saw him and the Night Sweats at Redrocks last summer, it was SO FUN!
❤
I think 2/3 of these views are from me replaying and replaying. And replaying. This song saves lives. Saves faith. Saves joy.
I want a Chris Stapleton and Nathaniel Rateliff collaboration. Two amazing voices and song writers.
To me this song is about being so low in life, but then realizing all the beauty that's still to be discovered. Using that as your strength.... Keep your head up, and keep smiling. Find the strength of the energy of the Earth. For it is a living entity that can give and take 🌎

so jealous! It's a dream of mine to see him, and with the way the world is going now? will stay a dream ,I think...
😹😹😹😹😹😹
‘It ain’t alright, the hardness of my head’ it’s beautiful songs like this that saves lives.
You are right, and I'm so grateful to find someone to sing to my soul
The amount of talent this guy has is astonishing. He blows my mind consistently. He doesn't create songs, he creates museum worthy pieces of art.
Prophetic song in light of the current state of things. Especially the line, "the glass is clear but all this fear
Starts a-leaving a mark."
Idol hands are all that stand from your time in the dark, but it's still alright.
This song left a bruise on my soul
Maybe a little wound where the light comes in (as Leonard says)
My favorite version of this song. The optimism of life and the despair go together. Beautiful song.
Once every decade or so , a song comes around that really makes you take a good hard look at your life . This here is one of those !!!!
I Am not the only one whom you wrote this for, it shall go all over our globe. And with tears it shall heal hearts💕
Thankyou from the bottom of mine.
I, also, just found this gem…..and just like that, my world has changed. And it is beautiful….thank you, NR.
There's no bad version of this song, but I really love this one in particular.
This is the most beautiful sad song.I have ever heard.I am sixty five
Sober or 3 sheets in a Bush this song brings a tear to my eye. One of the best writers of our time
Certainly one of the best songs I’ve heard in the past 20yrs. He’s a brilliant songwriter/poet.
You sacrament; I couldn't put it better. Cheers man
What a talent, what a voice. Brilliant.
Just discovered Nathaniel. Some great music coming out of the US these days, maybe because of the state of the world but what a talented man. Thank you UA-cam
Beautiful song. Guy has endured some pain and hurt!
Incredible to watch him picking. He’s incredible
Love this song forever & the expression on Nathaniel’s face while he’s playing/singing. Beautiful man , beautiful heart. Thank you.
The best raw country music.
AMERICA. Has had in generations.
Thank you for the music..

This guy. And John Mooreland... my Lord. Modern day poets..
Exactly 👍🏻
Oh man, this gets me deep every time I play it. What a masterpiece.
- to sit through a solo acoustic song and be entertained... priceless...
You made me cry a little, Nathaniel. The truth hurts a little. I love you. Thanks for being you, Nathaniel.
One of my favorite songs I've ever heard. Have listened to it daily since I first heart it a few months ago
I welcome the tears this brings to my eyes every time I hear it. 10 seconds in to it I'm sobbing....
This song is just wonderfully, weary, stoic, sad, well phrased and beautifully played by a master.
I keep coming back almost daily. It's pretty damn excellent 👌
The fingerpick/strumming in this song has so much depth. Love that sound.
This is my favourite video on the whole of UA-cam
Me too
The only thing I appreciate more about this man than his taste for turquoise jewelry is that GODDAMNED VOICE 😍😍😍😍😍.
I LOVE that turquoise jewelry.
Jade, nice
My grandpa used to wear a lot of turquoise jewelry and even left me some when he passed that I wear from time to time even though he wore it much better than I ever could. Every time I see Nathaniel sporting his it takes me back to memories of my grandpa. Glad others appreciate it as well.

Love it :)

This song could save a lot of souls/lives in 2020. These lyrics just get to me. Incredible song.
It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Now, close your eyes and spin around
Say, hard times you could find, it
Ain't the way that you want
But it's still alright
Late at night, do you lay around wondering?
Counting all the lines, ain't so funny now
Say, times are hard, you get this far, but it
Ain't the way that you want
I'll be damned if this old man don't
Start to count on his losses
But it's still alright
They say you learn a lot out there
How to scorch and burn
Only have to bury your friends
Then you'll find it gets worse
Standing out on the ledge
With no way to get down
You start praying for wings to grow
Oh, baby, just let go
I ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead
It was cold outside when I hit the ground
Said, I could sleep here, forget all the fear
It will take time to grow
Maybe I don't know
Hey, tonight if you think about it
Remembering all the times that you pointed out
Say, the glass is clear but all this fear
Starts a-leaving a mark
Your idle hands are all that stands
From your time in the dark
But it's still alright
Thank you
thanks
Thank you for the words to this awesome song!!!
Been sending this to my loved ones during these crazy times. We'll be alright.
His music warms the soul!
Brother man i feel ya every time i hear this i see it on his face....it's still all right, miss ya.....?
I Cry and I Heal in the most beautiful Way Every time I Listen to this song . Much huge Love and Proper Respect to you Beautiful Brother 🖤🖤

This song came up on autoplay while I was sleeping.... Was stuck in my head all day ... Finally found it!
It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Now, close your eyes and spin around
Say, hard times you could find, it
Ain't the way that you want
But it's still alright
Late at night, do you lay around wondering?
Counting all the lines, ain't so funny now
Say, times are hard, you get this far, but it
Ain't the way that you want

Start to count on his losses
But it's still alright
They say you learn a lot out there

With no way to get down
You start praying for wings to grow
Oh, baby, just let go
I ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead
It was cold outside when I hit the ground
Said, I could sleep here, forget all the fear
It will take time to grow
Maybe I don't know
Hey, tonight if you think about it
Remembering all the times that you pointed out
Say, the glass is clear but all this fear
Starts a-leaving a mark
Your idle hands are all that stands
From your time in the dark
But it's still alright
I first heard Nathaniel singing in the soundtrack of the movie Palmer. I was hooked from then on.
This is one of 3 songs that I've chosen for my memorial service
What are the other 2?
I have heard this man make incredible music that all sounded like cover songs. This is straight from his soul.
Just a very underated musician. What a beautiful song. Hits deep in the soul.
This song 🎵 is absolutely beautiful. It has brought me to tears. One of those tunes that touches the soul. Thanks nathanial for sharing your art.
