- I love this song and personally believe it to be better than the studio version.
Lyrics:
Lonely are the free
'cause there ain't that many of them
they don't walk like you and me
They just tumble in the breeze
lighter than a feather
all together, separately
That's how it's s'posed to be
no matter where they wander
from post to in between,
from here to over yonder,
there's no place for them to land
Lonely are the free
The silent are the strong
not so much as a whisper
tells you anything is wrong
You've known all along,
but you can't help but listen
and now the moment's gone.
It keeps you hanging on
until the stillness signaling
the breaking of the dawn,
is shattered by the sirens
singing sacrificial songs
The silent are the strong.
That's all they used to see
a violent shadow passing 'cross
the sun so fleetingly
that if you have to ask you miss it
(?) you see
Lonely are the free
Lonely are the free
This song is awesome, as soon as i heard it at the end of "Leaves of Grass" i was captivated... I can't seem to get enough of it.
when I've heard this on leafs of grass. made me cry so hard. I've been "free" way to long. always going left, when left is wrong. always to late, or just missed you living alone isnt the life for me... forever a fan of Steve Earle
silent are the strong
as so much as a whisper
tells you anything is wrong
you've known all along
but you can't help but listen
and now the moments gone
keeps you hanging on
until the tears are signaling
the breaking of the dawn
and is shattered by the silence
singing sacrificial songs.
the silent are the strong
thats all there is to see
a violet shadow passing across
the sun so fleetingly
that if you have to ask you miss it
anyway you see
lonely are the free
lonely are the free
I love this song so much. It bears such strong meaning. I don't like any of Steve Earle's other music and I typically despise country music as a whole, but this is amazing. I'm thinking about getting 'lonely are the free' tattooed somewhere. I really don't like the studio album version, however. I'd love to find a rendition of this without the rain at the beginning.
Lonely are the free...INDEED! Beautiful in so many ways.
Thank you Mr. Steve Earle.
Best fucking movie
Heard this song just now when finished watching that movie, thanks for the lyrics too. Gonna grab that guitar here and be learning me a song now. Cheers
So inspiring..
Wonderful movie.
This is one of my favorite movies and introduced me to John Prine Townes Van Zant the Flatlanders and of course Steve Earl.now i play and sing their songs.
I was thinking of a way to phrase that. thank you Timpetuyt, this song did speak to me as well at the end of the movie.
lonely are the free
cause there aint that many of them
they dont walk like you or me
they just tumble in the breeze
lighter than a feather
all together separetly
thats how it's sposed to be
no matter where they wander
from coast to in between
from here to over yonder
there's no place for them to land
lonely are the free
love it
god bless youtube.....
ndf2d, Glad to have you still with us. Steve Earl is just TOO honest to ever miss out on no matter what. Cheers
Em muitas fases da caminhada já curti esse som .( Lonely Are the Free) eu conheci no filme irmãos de sangue (Leaves of Grass) no fim do filme !
me ativa varias memorias diferentes, tempos diferentes sempre a mesma vibe!
uma onda boa de euforia de pensamentos de VIDA varias delas .
e em todas elas eu mudo um pouco sendo sempre o mesmo no meio da fumaça .
Wanting chords? Real easy.. c major, a minor, back to c.. then c to a minor to f, back to a minor then c.. add first string first fret between transitions of c to a minor and back.. you'll figure the rest on your own.. cheers!!
You come into this World alone. You leave it the exact same way no matter who holds you hand in your final moments. I will embrace it, don’t need no one to hold my hand, I’m a mans man. Just my dog because at the end of the day I have come to realize that animals are better than people!🐕🐕⛄️❄️🐕
We are free. Free of drama and stress. Just chill. Peace and quiet. Play some Steve Earle.
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 you are not alone ! there are plenty of men left.Just like us
@Brian J. Carnevale U are not alone ! We all are
So good Song.
Leave you sad but happy they just don't make songs like this anymore ❤❤❤❤
The lonely are the free...
I am not a person who usually likes music like this, BUT I will say that this song make me feel warm inside. A warmth I haven't felt in a long time. Thank you "Tomwolff0" for posting this song for everyone to enjoy and thank you Steve Earle for creating this Masterpiece =). Loving this tune a lot.
သည္ဇာတ္ကားကို ကၽြန္ေတာ္ဘ၀ႏွင့္ ကိုက္ညီတဲ့အတြက္ အလြန္ပဲႀကိဳက္ပါတယ္။
regarding the two (?) the last one is "any way you see"
as first the first, it's tough. it sounds close to something like "until the stillness' signaling the breaking of the dawn"
hope that helps!
thanks much for the post. it was beautiful in the movie and just as so here. much appreciated.
thanks a lot for this. amazing song...
My song totaly
Beautiful lyrics. Powerful song.
Lonely are the free
There ain't that many of them they don't walk like you and me
They just tumble in the breeze
Lighter than a feather altogether separately
That's how it's s'posed to be
No matter where they wander
From post to in between,
From here to over yonder,
There's no place for them to lean
Lonely are the free
The silent are the strong
Not so much as a whisper tells you anything is wrong
You've known all along
But you can't help but listen and now the moment's gone
Keeps you hangin' on
Until the silence signalin'
The breakin' of the dawn
Is shattered by the sirens singin'
Sacrificial songs
Silent are the strong
That's all there is to see
A violent shadow passin'
Cross the sun so fleetingly
That if you have to ask
You miss it anyway you see
Lonely are the free
Thanks for adding a copy of the song to download. I really wanted this song, and I think this is the ONLY place to get it
Thanks again!
"The silent are the strong..."
Amazing lyrics. Amazing music. Amazing voice of Steve Earle. I thought, at first, it was
Tom Waites. This is a great version. Thank you for sharing.
Nostalgia kicking in this is great song and movie
Great song, really spoke to me at the end of the movie. Doe asyone have the chords to this song?
beautiful
*_Welcome To The World || It's Really Windy_*
No it’s like we woke up in a dream. A dream full of wonders and rules and pain and senses.
I find this place very uncomfortable while others shine and wander in wonder and fly and sore and don’t want to go back… no more.
Gravity is like a ten ton brick and when it breaks your back your done… that’s it.
You live and survive to die. In the mean time trying to figure out why.
Everything you have and know will be lost… some things are priceless, such things have no cost.
Welcome to time and the mortal soul, one by one … watch … them … go.

צדקה "the world is broken we have to fix it." quote from movie. good song. sorta Dylany and i REALLY appreciate the lyrics, thanks very much, tomwolff0, nice photos above also.
Happy Succot, good film for thinking about at harvest time, has many unanswered questions, but they are all good ones. Ed Norton's Bill/Brady is a bit like Jekyll & Hyde, music is similar to "O Brother, Where Art Thou" music.
Tim Blake Nelson and Ed Norton are understated partners here, good film & sound track.
I bought the album today.. I gotta tell ya, though I appreciate the artistic value of the studio version- this one has it all over it..
@boy2btoy
"Lonlier Than This" is on his 2000 album "Transcendental Blues" album - well worth buying the whole album.
@tomwolff0
Steve Earle just recently released the track listing for his next album, which comes out in April. "Lonely Are the Free" will be on it, so the track should be available as an mp3 and I am sure the lyrics will be available with the liner notes.
Thanks a lot, awesome song, saved me some work!
Muito bom!!!.obrigado por compartilhar
awesome upload buddy, i was searching for this - thank you :-)
It’s true.
We come into this World alone, and we leave it the exact same way. No matter who holds your hand when you leave. We go out the way we came in Bet.
@drewactual to answer my own question above,, it is: "until the still is signaling the breaking of the dawn" and "and is shattered by the SIRENS singing sacrificial songs".. which makes the meaning of this part of the song some strong shit yo... and makes me like it that much more..
Thanks for that! "'Anyway' you see"
The ol' man has done it again! I'm amazed! Now... when is the OST of this movie available, and where can we get it? Must have this song as soon as possible.
@Qwentin99 hey, hope you know by now that this jewel is on Steve's new album, I'LL NEVER GET OF THIS WORLD ALIVE, a wonderful thing to have in your own little hands!!!
About the rapidshare link, on click he said: "This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times."
This song is not on any of his albums, nor is it in his discography yet. I don't know why - my only guess is that the website is rarely updated. As far as I'm aware this is the first copy available anywhere on the internet. The movie starring Edward Norton, "Leaves of Grass", hasn't been released yet onto DVD either. I was privileged enough to get a sneak peak. I assume that when the movie is released onto DVD, this song will be available on some type of soundtrack.
Why is the soundtrack not for sale? I have searched high and low and cannot find it. Ugh
+Kelly Mercuri-Behr I only see it on u-tube.
though you guys would appreciate the lyrics in full.. I'm having trouble understanding the line between the lines "keeps you hanging on" and "the breaking of the dawn"... and also, does he say (in that same area) is it "and is shattered by the silence singing sacrificial songs" or, maybe "and is shattered by the sirens singing sacrificial songs"?? could go either way..
cool
The missed word is "anyway". Great song!
Thanks m8, Wish i could find out what album it is on because it is not listed in the discography :(
May be a slow song but dang turn volume up
@Peterdidit Fuck this song is incredible.does anyone know when the leaves of grass ost comes out?
@cicadaano use Tubeminator! copy url and download as mp3 :)
@Aeglyn *Silent are the strong *You've known all along
@tomwolff0 Ditto
@Peterdidit If you finish tabbing the song out I'd be interested in getting a copy of that.
I do not understand the song. Can someone please tell me more about it? Please
@@loploisecrumbsy103 you ain't lyin. Especially nowadays.
is it possible to categorize this particular sound into a certain country (?) subgenre?
really love it
The correct category is... STEVE EARLE - in a category by himself!
is this song new because i can't find it in his discography?
@Peterdidit I woudl also liek a copy of the tabs if you have them...
"violet" shadow not violent, thanks
According to the sheet music published in the August 2011 issue of _Acoustic Guitar_ magazine, with all the copyright info, etc., it's _violent_ shadow. I guess you could sing it either way. If you growl it like Steve does, who'll be able to tell?
He clearly says violet... Magazines make mistakes and typos too...
This song obviously didn't inspire you that much if you still don't know how to spell "write"
I strongly suggest you do not.
