Lyrics (some amendments to original):
No one knows where the ladder goes
You're gonna lose what you love the most
You're not alone in anything
You're not unique in dying
I feel estranged every now and then
Fall asleep reading science fiction
I wanna fly in no silver ships
Let Jesus hang and let Buddha sit
Caus it‘s on now, the days are long now
The ups and the sundowns I got a twisting mind
If I have to go first, I'll do it on my terms
I'm tired of traitors always changing sides
They were once friends of mine
Don't hang around once the promise breaks
Or you'll be there when the next one's made
Kiss the feet of a charlatan
That’s your imagined freedom
All the rest is predictable
Oh you said you’d be the first to know
Bought a mantra to concentrate
It sounded like a car alarm, it sounded just like a hissing snake
I know now, how it's gonna turn out
You gotta calm down or I'll lose my place
Gotta get to the center, gotta get to my concert
Run off with a dancer, we gonna celebrate
Welcome the new age covered in warrior paint
The lights from the jungle go up to the sky
Do you see now, a star's born, she looks just like a blood red orange
Don't it just make you wanna cry?
Precious friend of mine
Will we know when it's finally done
This whole life's a hallucination
You're not alone in anything
You're not alone even when you’re trying to be
Brilliant song and performance. Heartbreaking song
How have I heard this song a gazillion times and not felt anything, then I listen to it concentrating on the lyrics for the first time while on my commute to work, and it shakes me senseless. :|
most beautiful
There you go 🤎🖤
This is really beautiful. "In dreams, emotions are overwhelming"
the added guitar sounds so beautiful
I love the guitar improvisions, ty Dawes
They were my favorite backing band of his - their harmonies were fantastic also.
So chillingly beautiful. I have listened to this every day for about a month now and I am still getting all sorts of new angles on it and new emotions. Interesting music, strange days.
nostalgic & beautiful. this song never fails to make me ache, in the best way possible.
sobbing! love this song. RIP Robin williams, i will never forget his last day. there was a super moon that night and i was having a terrible bout of depression alone on a beach. i found out in the morning he left us and it hit me hard. also i heard lorde covered this song and i thought it was pretty good.
RIP to Robin, Anthony, and all our brothers and sisters
Haunting. Thank you for sharing this.
This delivery is absolutely 100%
This is intense, & beautiful!

beautiful, lush guitar adds a lot
❤
Holy shit this is a good one. Thanks for the recording and the upload. Cheers
Edit: okay this just keeps getting better.
CO x Dawes was such an era.
Thanks for thanking :-)
I love the guitar with all my heart and soul ah
Dawes brought a layer of beauty that I wasn't even expecting
I love this song from the bottom of my heart the first time that I listen. My son invited me to listen it after that inspire me everyday
So good
ooh precious friend of mine....
love you so Conor ... ♥
and in your song ...
you answer to the guy who says to you : I love you Conor ...
you answer " the same" ... ♥
thanks babe
Such a great song"-can't wait to hear lorde cover this for the mokingjay part 1 soundtrack..
that guitar oml
wow this arrangement is nuts
Saw him perform this a few months ago. Great damn concert!
wow
When the guy says, we love you Conor, does Conor say thanks babe? At 0:45
I think it's something like: "the same" maybe?
I heard thanks babe.
Awesome xoxo 💋 K
thanks for sharing this video. it was a terrible day when robin williams killed himself...... and the pain still lingers more than 7 years later.
i'll do it on my terms
Re-dedicated to the great Anthony Bourdain
Xoxoxo 💕 K
Sharada Devi, I love you
He looks so healthy here compared to now
Love the added guitar part. I saw the first show of this tour and they didn't even know he would be playing it. Dawes just sat there all awkward.
These comments are wild, that guitar improv STINKS! Save it for the Guitar Center pedal showroom 😂😂😂
So I know now how this shall turn out. But i've gotta calm down, cause yes, i've lost my place. Get to the center.
Anyone else hear "Welcome to ear biscuits" at 0:35 ???? WTF?! Why is someone listening to a podcast there...
Wow. You've got good ears. I will try and figure out what that is...
Miss MoreMusic Lol! One of my favourite podcasts I recognised it straight away...funny :D
That IS funny...
😮
Living people are dead. Death IS life.
You mt Vernon, you Hermitage high, you Eric steigleder, you chenla ou, you comedy store. You're dead right now.
Nobody cares about being alone or lonely. There are people who prey on others just so they can feel alone and lonely. You.
Sweeeeeeeeetheart xoxo 💋 K

He already has wrinkles on his forehead, he is aging, btw such great performance, he begins to be holy!
Bullshit Conor ages like an asain
Keanu Ford Haha, yeah, you are right.
Get beat, resign yourself to Taylor Swift. Horrible, infantile response to a deep and meaningful song. You should be ashamed.
Maja Fenikowska that man will be fine as fuck until he's like 98
He was so gorgeous when he was 20.
Earth is Flat , Awaken to the Truth of our world. Beautiful song Conor, Thank You .
Nope
I would have actually preferred this without that guitar in it...or at least if it was drawn back a bit...its overwhelming the piano too much
guitar part ruins this so much.
Now I have heard this artist with 3 songs - and he can't absolutely not sing. Sorry to say so.
Many people are saying the same about Bob Dylan and he's still regarded as one of the great. All comes down to personal taste
