I discovered him this year( behind on my listening, way behind ) so for me 2019 will be the year of Isakov and The National :) Isakov is a once in a lifetime talent !
Lyrics: coffee burns, the stomach churns chemicals and caffeine you saw her bathing in the creek now you’re jealous of the water now babe, if it’s alright i call you that i’ve been running solo, but it ain’t all that they say it’s the take and give but emptiness knows just where i live and emptiness knows me was it just chemicals in my head tell me why all these pages are flying round in the yard how my hands can’t seem to find your hands in the dark tell me, tell me how the hell did we get all the way up here how gravity’s gone
Yeah, Chiappi, but songwriters don't write songs in a linear fashion. He may have wrote it one way, and decided to sing it another, but didn't correct the lyric on paper.
This is one of those songs that just makes you stop what you're doing and close your eyes and you feel every second of it. One of my favorite songs. Pure genius.
Was literally sitting in a favorite coffee shop contemplating when I saw the album and single announced. Musical poetry sent from the heavens this guy.
I just finished reading Sid and Arthur the same day this came out. It was a book on the extraordinariy friendship between Sid Vicious and Arthur Askey.
Songs like this make my Sunday bearable... sitting in my couch with a book a cup of coffee and songs from Gregory, villagers, hollow coves etc on repeat as I watch the day turn to night.
Amazing, beautiful voice that touches my soul....flying from Florida to Red Rocks end of Sept to listen to this man. I'll be sharing this experience with my 26 year old daughter. I love every single song this sweet human being sings....
This is what Damien Rice quit feeling; this is what Ryan Adams and Ray Lamontagne have forgotten about...this is what music has needed. Big time is coming for Isakov, and I actually have hope that he doesn’t bend to it’s will.
I haven't given up on Damien Rice yet....His last CD was AWESOME....he spills his guts in his music....Gregory Alan is right up there too in my book! Everytime he comes to Red Butte Gardens, the tickets sell out before I can buy one....I guess I am going to have to volunteer there to be able see/hear him play!! I am glad more people are discovering and appreciating his music though....does my heart good!
Perfectly said! Gregory is my Musical crush, since I heard "The Universe" He has it all. He is THE Bonus Package!! And now, this! He is a Genius. Thank you, for being one of the very best!!
Seems like we always have to wait for the new guy to come along. I would add to your list Josh Ritter, David Gray, and, tragically, Iron and Wine. They just seem to lose the poetry for some reason, who knows why. Speaking of Ryan Adams, wonder if Isakov has ever heard La Cienga Just Smiled. Because this has exactly the same riff.
Your music is light to dark!! Every time i turn on your music i feel totally relax and all my anxiety and depression is gone!! Your voice is smooth as butter can't stop it once it started it got be keep on playing!! Thank you!!... san luis, chemicals, 3 a.m i listen every day!!
It wasn’t just chemicals in your head. It was a higher form of knowledge. You’re so close if you haven’t figured it out man. Love your music. Thank you so much.
The new album is coming out 3 days after my 5 year anniversary of seeing him live for the first time, which was about 3 weeks after discovering and falling headlong in love with his music. What timing.
The lyrics: "I’ve been running solo, but it ain’t all that They say it’s the take and give But emptiness knows just where I live And emptiness knows me" It describes me perfectly.
Great song from a truly excellent album. Added to the best music of 2018 and best folk & acoustic of 2010 to 2019 playlists with a future spot on the World United Music podcast. :-)
Sounds like he’s staying true to what has made his past albums so beloved by his fans, instead of branching out and giving us an “experimental” album like so many artists do
Dziś jest nasz ostatni wieczór w Gdyni, Ty się wreszcie poszłaś kąpać, a ja ścielę łóżko na Ciebie czekam. Nie wiem kiedy i nie wiem czy w ogóle to przeczytasz, ale wiedz że mocno Cię kocham Kaja ❤ Jędrek
I can´t wait to see him for the second time in a few months! Plus having Joe Purdy playing as the opening, two of my favourite artists in one night. Life is complete.
Coffee burns, the stomach churns Chemicals and caffeine You saw her bathing in the creek Now you're jealous of the water Now you're jealous of the water Now babe, if it's alright I call you that I've been running solo, but it ain't all that They say it's the take and give But emptiness knows just where I live And emptiness knows me Was it just chemicals in my head Was it just chemicals in my head Tell me why all these pages are flying round in the yard How my hands can't seem to find your hands in the dark Tell me, tell me how the hell did we get all the way up here How gravity's gone Gravity's gone How gravity's gone
I get such an incredible sense of peace with his music. A little melancholy sometimes, but always peaceful.
It makes me think of someone's life reflections after they have died. The free associations and the eerie resonance seem to come from two worlds.
@@silence268 that's a great way to describe it.
@@NCflyfisher1 Thank you.
Dig deeper into philosophy, I disagree very sincerely. He describes the best feeling in the world. Weightlessness.
He’s talking about how did he get this weightlessness with a girl he’s never even touched. Imo
It's so crazy, how big of a part Gregory Alan's music has played in my life. Memory upon memory
He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me...So. Many. Goosebumps.
spot on totaly on you with this
a couple of go-go dancers in Pattaya was the best thing that happened to me. And it wasn't goosebumps that I had.
He is hands down my favorite musician
I discovered him this year( behind on my listening, way behind ) so for me 2019 will be the year of Isakov and The National :) Isakov is a once in a lifetime talent !
Lyrics:
coffee burns, the stomach churns chemicals and caffeine
you saw her bathing in the creek now you’re jealous of the water
now babe, if it’s alright i call you that
i’ve been running solo, but it ain’t all that they say it’s the take and give
but emptiness knows just where i live and emptiness knows me
was it just chemicals in my head
tell me why all these pages are flying round in the yard how my hands can’t seem to find your hands in the dark tell me, tell me how the hell did we get all the way up here how gravity’s gone
I think it's, "but it ain't all bad"
But I could be wrong
I copied the lyrics from the official site =)
Yeah, Chiappi, but songwriters don't write songs in a linear fashion. He may have wrote it one way, and decided to sing it another, but didn't correct the lyric on paper.
"Now you’re jealous of the water" is really "Are", or "Ain't" you jealous of the water".
Yeah, it could be! I was just saying that I didn't transcribe it by hearing. Write your notes down here for any corrections. :D
This is one of those songs that just makes you stop what you're doing and close your eyes and you feel every second of it. One of my favorite songs. Pure genius.
I'm so glad I had a friend show me his music 8 years ago and I'm still here. So peaceful and gets me ready to face things.
Was literally sitting in a favorite coffee shop contemplating when I saw the album and single announced. Musical poetry sent from the heavens this guy.
Can't wait for the full album to be released just in time for the Fall season. His music goes great with autumn temperatures.
weirdly true.
I agree with you 100%... a little cold with a cup of hot tea, intimate lighting, and his music.
I agree. Its likely why he has an album called "Songs For October" , too :)
Sure does! I’ve always thought that!
I just discovered this song and I litteraly started crying at the first note. Only him can do that. Another song another hidden gem.
His music gives me such a beautiful sense of peace. He never fails to astound me with how talented he is both lyrically and vocally.
Can‘t wait until October, this song is so so beautiful
Lalaaa La what’s gonna happen in October? New album?
Finished reading Siddhartha the same day this came out. Now it reminds me of it every time I hear it
Erica Aguirre Oh god,same
I just finished reading Sid and Arthur the same day this came out. It was a book on the extraordinariy friendship between Sid Vicious and Arthur Askey.

This is amazing!! Can't wait to cozy up and listen to the whole record.
I get nostalgic and teary eyed. His music takes me to places I remember.....
Amazing, beautiful voice that touches my soul....flying from Florida to Red Rocks end of Sept to listen to this man. I'll be sharing this experience with my 26 year old daughter. I love every single song this sweet human being sings....
How is it that EVERYTHING he produces is pure gold?
Been listening to Gregory for years and this song still sits at the top of the playlist.
This is what Damien Rice quit feeling; this is what Ryan Adams and Ray Lamontagne have forgotten about...this is what music has needed. Big time is coming for Isakov, and I actually have hope that he doesn’t bend to it’s will.
8Ryanaugust this is probably the most brilliant thing I have ever read in a comment section! Well put, spot on!!

hope he never stops creating and always finds joy in it
This is unreal. Going to listen to this 4,574 more times before October 5th
.
Yay it got re-uploaded! Love the new music as always. He deserves the world for making something like this
Wendy Neverland He really does, all his music is so beautiful
Thank the Lord. I am so excited for this album. I can't wait.
On repeat. He can’t make a bad song.
Everything dude does musically is on point
So exceptionally pleased that there's a new album to look forward to just before the British winter sets in. Do please come back to see us again soon!
You've done it again, Gregory..
I love him and his music so much, it makes me so happy 💛
Isakov's such a magnificent lyricist, but when his words are put to music he's the universe
when ı listen this song , i am feeling like flying with stars .
This is the perfect music when you are hiking in the mountains
Driving to the mountains ⛰️
Your music is light to dark!! Every time i turn on your music i feel totally relax and all my anxiety and depression is gone!! Your voice is smooth as butter can't stop it once it started it got be keep on playing!! Thank you!!... san luis, chemicals, 3 a.m i listen every day!!
A most excellent music artist and song 😊🎶🎶🎶
The image is so beautiful!
So absolutely gorgeous!
It wasn’t just chemicals in your head. It was a higher form of knowledge. You’re so close if you haven’t figured it out man. Love your music. Thank you so much.
What The Beatles and Elvis are to my parents generation, GAI is for me.
I am so passionate about him as an artist and his music is just what I need, daily. thanks GAI can't wait for this new album
It's about god damn time he's coming out with a new album. I'll be waiting with anticipation
Please come to canada!
A legend , simple 👍
The new album is coming out 3 days after my 5 year anniversary of seeing him live for the first time, which was about 3 weeks after discovering and falling headlong in love with his music. What timing.
I can't wait to see him in San Diego in October!! Love his music!
thesetlist same here
The lyrics:
"I’ve been running solo, but it ain’t all that
They say it’s the take and give
But emptiness knows just where I live
And emptiness knows me"
It describes me perfectly.
Oh, wow! New album this October? What a blessing. Thank you, Jesus, for this wonderful man.
Great song from a truly excellent album. Added to the best music of 2018 and best folk & acoustic of 2010 to 2019 playlists with a future spot on the World United Music podcast. :-)
Such a relaxing song
Wow. Just wow.
My music journey has started because of this man.. !! waiting for the time i get to meet him and catch them live
Sounds like he’s staying true to what has made his past albums so beloved by his fans, instead of branching out and giving us an “experimental” album like so many artists do
I honestly don't mind when artists bring those experimental albums out.
So incredible & beautiful as always Gregory! Goosebumps were like mountains. I can't wait for your new album! It's going to be a good October.
Such a simple song, with such a huge effect.

"How gravity is gone " Magnifique !
Goosebums. His voice is so pure i can't stop listening 💕 lots of love from germany ❤
Still got his soothing magic in this song, I hope the Album shares it as well!
I didn't like this song that much when I first heard and now I absolutely love it.
I can´t wait to see him for the second time in a few months! Plus having Joe Purdy playing as the opening, two of my favourite artists in one night. Life is complete.
and all is well again...... Lovely stuff
You are amazing Gregory. I just want to say thank you..............
So happy to see new music from him
This song is growing on me so fast!! lol
Good old Gregory. :') Can't wait for the full album.
IM IN LOVE ALREADY!!!
From the Grammy Nominated "Evening Machines".... Congratulations!!
SO GOOD!! I can't put my excitement into words!!
Oh my soul has been waiting for your new release. Long awaited, much needed
This is music 😍
Coffee burns, the stomach churns
Chemicals and caffeine
You saw her bathing in the creek
Now you're jealous of the water
Now you're jealous of the water
Now babe, if it's alright I call you that
I've been running solo, but it ain't all that
They say it's the take and give
But emptiness knows just where I live
And emptiness knows me
Was it just chemicals in my head
Was it just chemicals in my head
Tell me why all these pages are flying round in the yard
How my hands can't seem to find your hands in the dark
Tell me, tell me how the hell did we get all the way up here
How gravity's gone
Gravity's gone
How gravity's gone
This is breath-taking. Thank you
Anyone else listening to this peaceful masterpiece in September of 2024? 💙🌱🌱
