This is when dawes was the best. saw them live at the cavern in dallas. maybe when you see a band live it makes them 10 times better, but i can still listen to north hills front to back all the time and it never gets old.
Many years later after seeing this on the tour after they released north hills and again live after stories don’t end and after hundreds of listens this song still hits different. And that’s why Dawes is the best band of the past decade. 4 consecutive albums that were immaculate and a 6th that was also amazing.
There were moments of dreams I was offered to save I lived less like a workhorse, more like a slave I thought that one quick moment that was noble or brave Would be worth the most of my life So I pointed my fingers and shouted few quotes I knew As if something that's written should be taken as true But every path I had taken and conclusion I drew Would put truth back under the knife And now the only piece of advice that continues to help Is anyone that's making anything new only breaks something else When my time comes When my time comes So I took what I wanted and put it out of my reach I wanted to pay for my successes with all my defeats And if Heaven was all that was promised to me Why don't I pray for death? Now, it seems like the unravelling started too soon Now I'm sleeping in hallways and I'm drinking perfume And I'm speaking to mirrors and I'm howling at moons While the worse and the worse that it gets Oh, you can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's starin' right back When my time comes When my time comes Well, you can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's starin' right back When my time comes When my time comes When my time comes
I love this group, am so thrilled with their harmonies, and this video showcases their voices beautifully. But personally I think this one song needs Taylor's intensity when they're all out, amped up. "You can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back" - there's something missing from that line in this rendition, don't you think?
ahem... Mein Kampf? I think the Bible has less to do with what he's talking about. As a whole it's a much more peaceful and tolerant book. There are other writings we should be quicker to judge...

They should do more acoustic stuff. This is amazing.
This is the most powerful truthful honest song I think I’ve ever heard. And it’s beautiful and I am in awe by it.
I am in love with the video that was released for it

Oh man, I love the fifth album THE MOST!
It's great songwriting but man the voice(s) and harmonies take it to the next level. All their hard work paid off..
The faster, electric version may need the loud emotion, but I don't
agree that this one needs it. This is absolutely beautiful as soft as it is.
Wat
Always works for me,always touches me.Just beautiful.
Band is a breath of fresh air, great performance of the song
I have become amazed by this band. The lyrics are so powerful and the music so simple, but every damn song they make gives me chills. Great music.
Music this beautiful breaks my heart.
them brother harmonies
Caused intense introspection.....thank you. Nice guitar work, solid harmonies.
It really doesn't get much better than this....♪
excellent.the harmonys good too.
This band...this band is good
This is incredible.
These lyrics are amazing!! Love this song
Saw them live, theyre awesome
~I like this song~ Enough said :)

Amazing
how have only 4,500 people watched this?!?!?!?!?!
Love this! But I personally like it better when they belt the chorus.
so good.
this band is so good tht if they were any better they'd be like really good
love it
@Pinkbananasandbasket i agree this song needs that loud emotion to get the true beauty of it.
I think he plays an early 60's D18. They still had the tortoise shell pickguard then. ...sure sounds like one, nice!!
There were moments of dreams I was offered to save
I lived less like a workhorse, more like a slave
I thought that one quick moment that was noble or brave
Would be worth the most of my life
So I pointed my fingers and shouted few quotes I knew
As if something that's written should be taken as true
But every path I had taken and conclusion I drew
Would put truth back under the knife
And now the only piece of advice that continues to help
Is anyone that's making anything new only breaks something else
When my time comes
When my time comes
So I took what I wanted and put it out of my reach
I wanted to pay for my successes with all my defeats
And if Heaven was all that was promised to me
Why don't I pray for death?
Now, it seems like the unravelling started too soon
Now I'm sleeping in hallways and I'm drinking perfume
And I'm speaking to mirrors and I'm howling at moons
While the worse and the worse that it gets
Oh, you can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's starin' right back
When my time comes
When my time comes
Well, you can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's starin' right back
When my time comes
When my time comes
When my time comes
Doesn't get better then these guys.

You're top comment i'm afraid
What make of acoustic is that? Looks very similar to my Simon& Patrick Luthier 12 string.
Great song, my fav is "If I wanted Someone" though.
Yeah, well, its what they wanted to say!
I didn't know Jesse Eisenberg was in this band.
But the right form of logic
well shit. I didn't see that one coming...
Anyone know the chords to this bad boy?
Pretty sure it is a Martin D-16GT, which is actually a cheaper model.
Martin Dreadnought. Not sure which model though.
i need tabs?????????
Best "dislike" comment posting ever! lol
If you think a song has to be loud to have real emotion, please go.
Yeah. Had no idea what they meant....
lol'ed
0:59 : Ahem...The Bible?
Uhuh
the top comment used the wrong form of "their"........
ahem... Mein Kampf? I think the Bible has less to do with what he's talking about. As a whole it's a much more peaceful and tolerant book. There are other writings we should be quicker to judge...
I dont like it. Love Dawes, Love the song, but this is too clean for a live performance. To each his own i guess.
