Nickel Creek performs "Love of Mine" off their new album, A Dotted Line, available now on Nonesuch Records. NickelCreek.com iTunes: smarturl.it/nickelitunes
The deepest emotions evoked by the saddest songs on earth. This is one of those songs. Delicately poignant and reflecting the emptiness and loneliness the body, the mind, and the heart sometimes feels. I weep every time I hear this...
This could be the most beautiful Nickel Creek song I've ever heard about being in love with being in love. It's too perfect. I've listened to it on repeat at least 100x by now.
I've been in love for years with Nickle Creek. The synchronicity & perfection is addictive. Just everything about them brings out all my emotions. I cry, laugh, get angry... But mostly Love... God bless you guys and all you do moving forward. Cheers from Calgary, Alberta, Canada!
God, the upload date got me. I remember as a little kid when this album came out and a few years later when Nickel Creek came to our town and we got to watch them sing my favorite songs live.
Holy god, sat down and transcribed the lyrics to this and then just sat here and then just basked in melancholy. So, so powerful, and so good. Talk about a self-indictment.
I was never into Country or Bluegrass, but you guys add this twist that makes it so nice to listen to. It has so much ear candy and it has lyrics that I can relate to! Love love love.
The fiddle plays such an important part of the musical tapestry of the Firefly series and Serenity film. The music of the TV show is a wonderful soundtrack in itself.
As a drummer who enjoys playing a variety of musical styles I find myself addicted to applying drums to Nickel Creek material. I enjoy playing to NC more than anything else. This group does something that no other group has ever done for me. They combine technical wizardry on their instruments while also playing truly beautiful music that isn't compromised by all of that skill. I hope Nickel Creek keep churning out great music for years to come! I certainly appreciate them...
Saw them live in 2006ish in grand junction CO. very talented and excellent live!!! One of the best concerts I've ever been to! I believe they are two brothers and a their sister. They have a good sense of humor- very entertaining for sure
I've waited 5 years for this, I have enjoyed the solo careers of these members in the meantime very much but I'm excited all over again that they're back again.
can you believe they waited another 9 years to put out another album?? XD I know it was almost a year ago now, but I really enjoy listening to Celebrants :)
My sister got me into NC just after they went on hiatus... needless to say, I was heartbroken. But, I understood their reasons, and am overjoyed at their return. So much love from my ears, heart, and mind to you wonderful people. :)
Boy...I sure hope Allison Krause is as happy as I am for this. Thanx for sponsoring such great talent. I find myself in tears. cheers and thanx so much to everybody
This song, this music- it's got this effect on me unlike any other music. Transports me somewhere else, and it's got very little to do with the lyrics- it's Something very beautiful and magical, and probably my favorite song. Will probably be for a while which is a big deal considering my song favorite changes often. All in all this song is something akin to -is not more than- soul wrenching. Just so perfect.
Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die And I throw my arms around the girl who finds you ‘Cause the world is rosier, through your eyes I don't suppose you caught her name Never mind I'll just name her after you, love of mine I'll fashion her into a sweet long legged icon making all praise holier Satisfied Oh, but she gave us to each other The only thing she's done for me that you could never do For that she'll always be remembered After she discovers I don't love her half as much as you Love of mine when she goes why can't you stay Here with me Love of mine when you die I tell myself that you'll never live Even as I curse the girl who says she'll find someone worthier of the gift Someone who wants to share it with her Far away from those who take you, to have and to hold Now I'm stuck here trying to not remember For all these pretty words it wasn't her but love that I adored It's my love I adored Love of mine when you're born I tell myself, that you'll never die
My crush on Chris was crushed when Twitter was invented and I kept reading all his grumpy tweets :( but I'm still super excited about this new development
I heard that you were back together and putting out a new album!!! OH I'm soooo excited!!! I per-ordered the vinyl!!!! SOOOOO excited!!! WELCOME BACK NICKEL CREEK!!!!
There are so many "Reasons Why" I'm excited. Even if it takes a while for the whole album to come out, I "Can't Complain." I never thought they'd even think to make a new album. "I Should've Known Better."
I'm so glad Nickel Creek realized it - "Why Should the Fire Die"? I'm sure that many fans have been looking for "Somebody More Like You" in today's music, but I'm also sure that we're ecstatic to have YOU back!
kerzibelle Chris Thile is cunning like "The Fox." And looks so "Young." I wish Nickel Creek "The Best of Luck." "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" away, and April 1st is further away than tomorrow.
This song is so beautiful, I mean Damnnnnn!!!!! Could you write a more enchanted song, in all of songwriting I doubt it. Makes you want to just ball your eyes out. I'm a freaking dude too, gah!
for a long time now inside ive felt so empty and worthless. broken even but now after listening to this song i feel so alive. i feel happy and like i have a meaning and idk why. this song is so fucking amazing.
I would think Chris Thile would be relieved to be back with Nickel Creek for a while and embrace a more simple more beautiful style. With his other projects he always has to be the fastest gun in the land, and the most esoteric.
Here’s my best attempt at the lyric. Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die. And I throw my arms around the girl who finds you, ‘cause the world is rosier through your eyes. I don't suppose you caught her name. Nevermind I'll just name her after you, love of mine. I'll fashion her into a sweet long legged icon making all praise holier. Satisfied. Oh, but she gave us to each other. The only thing she's done for me that you could never do. For that she'll always be remembered. After she discovers I don't lover her half as much as you. Love of mine when she goes why can't you stay, here with me. Love of mine when you die I tell myself that you'll never live. Even as I curse the girl who says she'll find someone worthier of the gift. Someone who wants to share it with her, far away from those who take you to have and to hold. Now I'm stuck here trying to not remember, for all these pretty words it wasn't her but love that I adored. It's my love I adored. Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die.
I've got pretty much the same as you (and thanks for "long legged icon," couldn't get that for the life of me). The big change I've got is "Love of mine, when you die, I tell myself that you never lived." Where you have "Oh, but she gave us to each other," I have "The love that she gave us to each other," but I'm not sure if that's right.
Thaddeus Carpenter I did a transcription and put it on Song Meanings. It's pretty much the same as yours, but with more line breaks and some differences in punctuation. songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859477558/
killmoms Yeah, I think yours are perfect and now I actually understand the song, more or less. But I'll continue this discussion on Song Meanings. Thanks!
how did i miss this. 2015 and I'm just now knowing about this release. I'm looking for some real fans here to give some true feedback, is it as good as their early records?
Yes it's right up there. There is one tune "Hayloft" that really breaks tradition but I find myself enjoying it more and more. This album is no let-down!
I'm trying to find a song I heard while sampling"beats" headphones @ a place that is long gone.it was on "a dotted line" it was Amazing & I wish I could describe the song with more detail but only heard it once. anyone have any ideas? guess I'll just listen to entire CD.🎼 ? I Absolutely Love JULEP , which is nothing like the one I'm searching for🤔😉
Alex Nuttall this is two years old but I'm working through this record on guitar. it is! dropped 3 half steps down. mainly in C, B, and G (relative to the tuning) I have the chords for it.
It seems like Nickel Creek wasn't inspired for this album. The "Light House" seems like a song inspired by a story told to NC or a member in the group, and then wrote a song. Maybe I have to listen to the songs again! MPBWY S
Just have to say its a different time of life for these guys. The energy and enthusiasm of youth will generally lend a more vibrant feel. Is that what may be different here for your ears?
Russell Charlton Not so! the band "tears for Fears, released a new album in 2013. Listen to this song, you may not have lost faith in the old guys. Tears For Fears - And I Was A Boy From School
A)Clearly you haven't listened to the entire album. Destination, Rest of My Life are both kickin' songs, and the cover Where is Love Now is just a gorgeous song. B)The body of work of these "kids" both together and side projects affords them not to be compared to Tears for Fears.
Noel Ransom I wasn't comparing Nickel Creek to tears for fears. TFF or mostly Roland writes a lot. Everybody loves a happy ending, but it never got the attention. Now I don't know where" a boy from school" came from. Was in a Lowes Hardware store and it was playing. Would'nt NC be considered country?

The deepest emotions evoked by the saddest songs on earth. This is one of those songs. Delicately poignant and reflecting the emptiness and loneliness the body, the mind, and the heart sometimes feels. I weep every time I hear this...
Me too. This is such a powerful song.
This is just one of those songs where every note seems like it's exactly where it should be. Can't get enough of it :)
This could be the most beautiful Nickel Creek song I've ever heard about being in love with being in love. It's too perfect. I've listened to it on repeat at least 100x by now.

HEy I just tried to transcribe them too but i have trouble with some spots… share with me?
kateamericana I posted mine to Song Meanings, you can find them here: songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859477558/
Thanks a lot !!
Freaking love that violin solo omg
I was never into Country or Bluegrass, but you guys add this twist that makes it so nice to listen to. It has so much ear candy and it has lyrics that I can relate to! Love love love.
This is up there with their best songs. Just a great track.
Nikel Creek is back, go crazy!
Pre-ordered. Now I wait for the next Punch Brother's album.
yup
I totally ADORE Nickle Creek!!! One of my favorite places to be is wherever they are playing!!
The absolute best band of all time !!! Harmony can't be matched !!!
By far, my favorite part of all of these songs is the fiddle.
Also, for some reason, this song gives me intense, bittersweet Firefly vibes.
The fiddle plays such an important part of the musical tapestry of the Firefly series and Serenity film. The music of the TV show is a wonderful soundtrack in itself.
@popgrubbs yes, great series, and the fiddle is great!

It’s one brother and sister (The Watkins) and then Chris Thile is the mandolin player :)
Like a sponge soaking up the new material! Thank you SO MUCH for reuniting!
Absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic.
Ki we fv NJ nb b NOT
I've waited 5 years for this, I have enjoyed the solo careers of these members in the meantime very much but I'm excited all over again that they're back again.
9 years is a long time.So very cool that they are back! Didnt know if they ever would again...A great favorite.
can you believe they waited another 9 years to put out another album?? XD I know it was almost a year ago now, but I really enjoy listening to Celebrants :)
So glad to see NC back together!
Aaaahh, they're back! I'm so excited to see them in person this month! Phenomenal, just like everything else they've ever done.
My wife: Nickel creek? Who are they
Me: music of gods
Nickel Creek is back! So exciting, c'mon up to Maine!
this cd will probably not leave my car all year!
I can't wait for the album!!! I grew up listening to Nickel Creek, and I'm in college now! Good music never, ever goes out of style.
My sister got me into NC just after they went on hiatus... needless to say, I was heartbroken. But, I understood their reasons, and am overjoyed at their return. So much love from my ears, heart, and mind to you wonderful people. :)
Boy...I sure hope Allison Krause is as happy as I am for this. Thanx for sponsoring such great talent.
I find myself in tears.
cheers and thanx so much to everybody
This feels like 2 songs in one, really great building of intensity. Great harmonies as always .
I love this song! Everyone has their own image in their head but, I picture a man falling in love with a Burlesque dancer
Big love for this group, so good to have them back! Beautiful, love the harmony and that mandolin in this song...so sweet ⋰⋱⋰⋱❤
This song is yet another beautiful masterpiece presented by the heavens above.
Presented by hard-working SECULAR musicians 😊
I have been waiting so long for this!!! My dream has come true, new music from Nickel Creek and it's amazing!!
I always come back to this song.. so many memories 😭🔥🤌🏿
I had an excitement attack when I saw them listed in a concert list thats close to me. Loving every second of this!!
Can't wait to hear y'all together again! I'm so happy!
This song, this music- it's got this effect on me unlike any other music. Transports me somewhere else, and it's got very little to do with the lyrics- it's Something very beautiful and magical, and probably my favorite song. Will probably be for a while which is a big deal considering my song favorite changes often. All in all this song is something akin to -is not more than- soul wrenching. Just so perfect.
So excited! This sounds beautiful, the perfect blend of melancholy and thoughtful words and haunting melodies that I always love from Nickel Creek. :)
The good ole Nickel Creek music! Thank you for making music again guys! :)
I totally agree. Love this band so much. I thought they had split up, so imagine my joy finding out they have a new album!
Brazil!! Listening!! Amazingggg!!!
Another great song, very high hopes for this album.
Truly so pleased you are back. Thank you for once again sharing your talents with us!
This is absolutely beautiful. Can't wait for the tour!
Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die
And I throw my arms around the girl who finds you
‘Cause the world is rosier, through your eyes
I don't suppose you caught her name
Never mind I'll just name her after you, love of mine
I'll fashion her into a sweet long legged icon making all praise holier
Satisfied
Oh, but she gave us to each other
The only thing she's done for me that you could never do
For that she'll always be remembered
After she discovers I don't love her half as much as you
Love of mine when she goes why can't you stay
Here with me
Love of mine when you die I tell myself that you'll never live
Even as I curse the girl who says she'll find someone worthier of the gift
Someone who wants to share it with her
Far away from those who take you, to have and to hold
Now I'm stuck here trying to not remember
For all these pretty words it wasn't her but love that I adored
It's my love I adored
Love of mine when you're born I tell myself, that you'll never die
Importantly, I think, the lyric in the final verse is “to have and to hoard,” not “hold”
To have and to whore
'Tis a bittersweet memory of love lost while taking a lonesome car ride on a tree tunneled country road at sunset.
Loving this! Feels so good to hear some new Nickel Creek again! Thanks, guys! :)
This is a wonderful track - I'm really stoked for the new album. :)
I'm not sure if it's uplifting or depressing. Amazing.
Wow. That's talent right there
2.6k likes. That's a crime. From the first 2 seconds, I loved this song.
Love it so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My inner 13 year old with the huge crush on Chris and Sean is so Excited for this album. Love love the song :)
Umm... My outer 21 year old with a man crush on those two and a crush on Sara is very excited for this album! haha
My crush on Chris was crushed when Twitter was invented and I kept reading all his grumpy tweets :( but I'm still super excited about this new development
I heard that you were back together and putting out a new album!!! OH I'm soooo excited!!! I per-ordered the vinyl!!!! SOOOOO excited!!!
WELCOME BACK NICKEL CREEK!!!!
Love this song. Reminds me a lot of Punch Brother's "Stay Away"
I love this music
So great! Better than ever!!!
Brings me to tears every time.
Love your tunes!!
It's so good!
I LOVED!!!
Can't wait for their concert in May!!!
So glad you guys are back!
Bravo! A "Brand New Sidewalk" to float upon... i'm "Hanging By A Thread" waiting for the rest of your album. :)
There are so many "Reasons Why" I'm excited. Even if it takes a while for the whole album to come out, I "Can't Complain." I never thought they'd even think to make a new album. "I Should've Known Better."
Ezophlee Squabe :)

^ This is just hilarious. ^_^
I am over the moon about this album!! I cannot wait to see you guys in DC!! :D
The legends live :)
Love it!
Y'all REALLY need to come to Tallahassee or Jacksonville FL.
This song is so beautiful, I mean Damnnnnn!!!!! Could you write a more enchanted song, in all of songwriting I doubt it. Makes you want to just ball your eyes out. I'm a freaking dude too, gah!
+Corben Sutherland dont worry about man, music makes Humans emotional, regardless of gender.
I am insanely happy. ❤️
It's about time! :)
Nice song. There back!!!!
Another classic from Nickel Creek! Love you guys.
I saw them in concert a while back. AWESOME!!!
Instant Unmistakable Chris Thile vocal. God damn is he a good player.
for a long time now inside ive felt so empty and worthless. broken even but now after listening to this song i feel so alive. i feel happy and like i have a meaning and idk why. this song is so fucking amazing.
love Chris Thiele voice and mandolin , Sarah is awesome, too
Beautiful song.
Great song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure they only got back together as a 1 time thing. I went to the dotted line concert for my birthday a year ago and it was fantastic!
kadeyda kook nah they old oldest friends. they will come and go as they please. thiles old jeans and shoes. lol
they good.
I like this much better than Destination. Feels more "Nickle Creek" to me than the other single. Here's hoping the full album is just as good!
NICE
damit, woow!
So glad you guys are back! I was wondering if you guys will do another collab with Fiona Apple, that would be awesome.
I would think Chris Thile would be relieved to be back with Nickel Creek for a while and embrace a more simple more beautiful style. With his other projects he always has to be the fastest gun in the land, and the most esoteric.
linda musica :) parabéns
found them via suggested artists from The Oh Hellos and holy shit how have i never heard of this group theyre phenomenal
Thank shaytards for leading me here
Almost enough to restore my faith in a God. Simply ethereal.
Music will do that. But a person can only be lead so far and then they need to make choices :) Hope you find the way through :)
Amazing song and almost better lyrics
Here’s my best attempt at the lyric.

is it to have and to whore?
LAST myself is my soul????????????????
My gf listens to this it pretty dope 🤔
how did i miss this. 2015 and I'm just now knowing about this release. I'm looking for some real fans here to give some true feedback, is it as good as their early records?
Yes. Anything Nickel Creek is great stuff.
Yes it's right up there. There is one tune "Hayloft" that really breaks tradition but I find myself enjoying it more and more. This album is no let-down!
Hayloft is a cover song from the band Mother Mother. Listen to the original Hayloft and you'll understand Nickel Creek's version.
RedYellow Blue
I only found out about it from HERE. WTF? Are they going to tour? If so when?
Anyone have a tab for this? Would love to learn this on guitar.
Heard Destination and 21st of May - not so great. Then I heard this one. WELCOME BACK Nickel Creek. Fantastic.
OMG its on April 1st, April Fools Day. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME
they already assured everyone that it's not a joke
I'm trying to find a song I heard while sampling"beats" headphones @ a place that is long gone.it was on
"a dotted line" it was Amazing & I wish I could describe the song with more detail but only heard it once. anyone have any ideas? guess I'll just listen to entire CD.🎼 ?
I Absolutely Love JULEP ,
which is nothing like the one I'm searching for🤔😉
THE DASH BY MANDOLIN ORANGE???????????????
IF ONLY ONE THING SHE SHOWED ME WAS TRUE, IT WAS THIS.THO LIE,D IN EVERY BREATH SHE DID.NEVER FORGIVE,
...that intro.
Am I wrong, or is this song 1.5 steps down (C#-F#-B-E-G#-C#) on guitar?
Alex Nuttall this is two years old but I'm working through this record on guitar. it is! dropped 3 half steps down. mainly in C, B, and G (relative to the tuning) I have the chords for it.
who listens ? now lol I do cause I like but who knows
OK.
It seems like Nickel Creek wasn't inspired for this album. The "Light House" seems like a song inspired by a story told to NC or a member in the group, and then wrote a song. Maybe I have to listen to the songs again! MPBWY S
