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.
the whole album is excellent.....listen to every day!
Same ❤
listen to what a drag that’s my fav on the album
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.
@@fjwheezy4449 headed there, now- thanks!
This song saved my life a few years ago. Still saving me in 2024!❤
Hope you're good homie.
@@Shovelman220 I'm great!
That's nothing but good news. Stay awesome.
Hope you are still good!
Incredible song. Makes me think of my brother. RIP Andrew
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
Look after yourself bro ,we only become battle hardened by battling on✌🏻
Frack your family. Be game! Do not let the 💩 of life get you down. Go out and live each day the way you want.
Chin up man
My condolences… but You’ve got this brother.
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.
Jesus. Just heard this for the first time. Incredible.
The man is a genius. Hits him at1.44 fuckin mad man savage
@@barryomalley6147 that's an awesome moment! He is an amazing artist!
@cookie karamello. Nope. I’m pretty sure Jesus has already heard this.
Absolutely amazing! And it gets better,..... Trek on!
That's what Jesus said.
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.
much love friend. its gonna alright
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.
You Will All Be Ok💖
What I should have first said was,. I'm incredibly sorry your loss. You have all my empathy ❣️ it's been 6 yrs for me.
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.
Don't be afraid, the Universe is amazing. 🥹🪷
Beautiful sentiment… wishing you all that is good♥️.
Ayyy.,.love you ☮️💕🔥
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
Thank you, Nathaniel for giving my heart a soft place to fall.
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.
We here on the internet are glad you didn’t. We somehow survive. ;
@@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.
I think 2/3 of these views are from me replaying and replaying. And replaying. This song saves lives. Saves faith. Saves joy.
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!
Hopefully you stuck with it and life is better now
Stay strong man. I was a wild Scottish booze hound. Jesus helped me chuck it. Almost 7 years without the poison. God bless you and strengthen you. 💪
Stopping by to say thanks to y'all for over 1M views! And thanks to Nathaniel for being such a unifying, healing force in music.
This guy saved my life. Simple and thanks
God Bless You my Friend ☮️
Mine too ❤ he truly is a gift from God
Rober Plant listed this song as one of his 10 favorites. Wow. A beautiful song.
Yeah I seriously just commented that that's why I punched this fellow up.
" 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 want a Chris Stapleton and Nathaniel Rateliff collaboration. Two amazing voices and song writers.
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.
I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve endured.
I have faith in Jesus Christ he loves you brother your a strong person
‘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.
Teared up brother.... Great song, great voice, great guy.
Every time.
This is the most beautiful sad song.I have ever heard.I am sixty five
Is it just me or are we in a renaissance right now? This guy, Sam Beam, Gregory Alan Isaakov... haven't heard music this pure for a long time.
don't know but thanks for the names. good music!
Yes. Ian Noe as well.
@Jb I'll check it out man!
Add Gabe Lee to the list!!
Its what happens when the world goes to hell . Out comes some rather beautiful and amazing people.
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!
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!
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!
❤
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.
Andrew & the Dolls aw that’s great - I love that. Turquoise is magic. ❤️
Love it :)
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.
"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.
how's your dog? "I think it's a Pomeranian"
@@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.
What a talent, what a voice. Brilliant.
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'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.
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...
😹😹😹😹😹😹
There's no bad version of this song, but I really love this one in particular.
Incredible to watch him picking. He’s incredible
The best raw country music.
AMERICA. Has had in generations.
Thank you for the music..
This song left a bruise on my soul
Maybe a little wound where the light comes in (as Leonard says)
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
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 !!!!
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.
I keep coming back almost daily. It's pretty damn excellent 👌
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 🌎
Soul Beautiful
This song is saving me from emotional breakdowns
John Moreland
Ell king
Grateful Dead
The last two years have
Have almost broken me
I welcome the tears this brings to my eyes every time I hear it. 10 seconds in to it I'm sobbing....
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.
🎶🎶🧜♀️🌹Absolutely 🌹🧜♀️🎶🎶🌹🥃
Beautiful song. Guy has endured some pain and hurt!
Love this song forever & the expression on Nathaniel’s face while he’s playing/singing. Beautiful man , beautiful heart. Thank you.
This is one of 3 songs that I've chosen for my memorial service
What are the other 2?
40yr old straight man here. this song is magic...thank you so much...
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.
This guy. And John Mooreland... my Lord. Modern day poets..
Exactly 👍🏻
- to sit through a solo acoustic song and be entertained... priceless...
My favorite version of this song. The optimism of life and the despair go together. Beautiful song.
Music / Love = connecting humans on the deepest level of one's soul...youtube does this for us all over the world
I'm always saying to people that I truly believe music is the language of the soul. It doesn't matter where you live, what you look like, what your status, problems, joys or sorrows are...music will speak to each and every one of us. Doesn't matter whether it's accompanied by words or not. It's the frequencies. Even deaf people that have never 'heard' a sound their whole life are touched by it.
I, also, just found this gem…..and just like that, my world has changed. And it is beautiful….thank you, NR.
This is my favourite video on the whole of UA-cam
Me too
Anybody who doesn't buy this man's beer has no heart
So much sadness.. and yet the sorrowful heart smiles
i've watched this numerous times, but just noticed the gold glitter.
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.
Impossible to breathe while listening. So raw.
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
it's a simple and immediate thing when you know a song is true. this song is that.
this song helps me get through 2020
Great lyrically and melodically.!!!
Can’t get it out of my head… So hard!!
This song could save a lot of souls/lives in 2020. These lyrics just get to me. Incredible song.
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.
You thought me to love my family more than I have been. Thank you
Probably the most beautiful song ever written
Glad to see someone can still make music that reaches my soul.
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!
This song is just wonderfully, weary, stoic, sad, well phrased and beautifully played by a master.
He's a great entertainer. This song has a lot of meaning in it!!! 2024
One of those songs you keep replaying and replaying and you still come back for more. This speaks to something deep inside of me
You can see the emotion in his eyes.
This is a great great great song
I can't stop listening to this song, it hits me hard for so many reasons. Thank you Nate
You made me cry a little, Nathaniel. The truth hurts a little. I love you. Thanks for being you, Nathaniel.
This song came up on autoplay while I was sleeping.... Was stuck in my head all day ... Finally found it!
Thank you
I love that guitar. I've seen him playing it a lot. It's really nice.
Yeah that guitar is awesome. I've seen it in other videos. I can't read the headstock though. I wonder what brand it is
Waterloo WL-S Deluxe - Austin, TX
@@rjtiman Sweet, thanks.
It’s a Washburn. Saw him last night in Chicago in that thing sounds fantastic!
I should say it’s the man who pulls the sound out of that instrument that makes it sound so fantastic!
@@MrMetz2112 true, but as Robin Williams said, "You can't make butter with a toothpick!"
The fingerpick/strumming in this song has so much depth. Love that sound.
Recently I lost my house, at the same time my father past away suddenly from brain cancer. I found myself stuck in a career that would not support my family, homeless, and without the one person I could always rely on. This song makes me feel less alone. Maybe a little less stupid and broken. It feeds my resolve to move forward because it's still alright.
Oh man, this gets me deep every time I play it. What a masterpiece.
Man this guy is so good
My latest goosebump song, everytime, resonates with my soul, thank you Mr Rateliff!
absolutely blown away.
WOW. I am so grateful I stumbled upon this gem. What a voice! What amazing lyric and guitar playing too. This hits the feels deep.
Just hear the raw and emotion in his voice. Blessed
Big Missouri fan!! 💞❤️🙏
God hes just as good live as he is produced
This song is more than alright. Lovely!
Amazing! This guy!!!? I say him on the water in Vermont! Revival of Jake and Elwood!! Great Feeling kinda show! Thank you Nathaniel!!
Exact😉😉👍godby Scott🌈🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oooooh Yeaaa😑👌👍🌈🌈🌈🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This song is the only way I can get my 6 month old to sleep. Every nap time, I put it on and he is right to sleep.
I play this over and over again...it never gets old, then I play it again! Can't get enough...👍
Same here!
Just a very underated musician. What a beautiful song. Hits deep in the soul.
I'm pretty proud during the pandemic I was stuck in a rural town when I'm usually a very nomadic music lover seeing everything in the sights so I just hunker down and play music for 4 hours never heard this song Love the band and was able to play along right away got to put this one of my bag of tricks thank you
One of my favorite songs I've ever heard. Have listened to it daily since I first heart it a few months ago
I have heard this man make incredible music that all sounded like cover songs. This is straight from his soul.
...."Idle hands are all that stands between your time in the dark."....Powerful lyric.
Heard it once enjoyed it a bunch and started pickin along. Got the words right and now it feels tight as I sing this song. And it's still all right....
Love, Love, Love!
Great one
Been sending this to my loved ones during these crazy times. We'll be alright.
