Reminiscing the old time, when this song uploaded life been crazy. But never thought now im grown up and life is good, but just lonely on this ghost town.
Lmao, coming back to this video, cringing about my old comment... these tones will never get old. For every now and then when you feel like shit. 3:45 something there happened inside of his head, whatever it was, the emotion in his face and voice still gives me shivers
I watched John play at Tape Deck Fest in Melbourne on Sunday and omfg. I listen to trophy eyes but hadn't heard his stuff. And while he was playing I was standing there doing everything in my power not to cry. I failed. The emotion and effort he puts into his music is moving and the lyrics seem to get me every time.
[Verse 1] I've held my breath For twenty fucking years And hesitation brought me here It makes it harder to believe That I'll see you again I'm so scared of growing up I still act like I'm fifteen years old Too early to give up But too old to come home I found myself at a distance Empty highways and freezing train carriages I never thought I'd see myself like this Starving to death in this fucking city apartment Well, I'm twenty-one And so alone [Chorus] Well, this distance it gave me an option In the form of a shiny red apple In it's dark red skin I saw my reflection But I couldn't take it I sunk my teeth in [Verse 2] I watch your tail lights fade over this stale town Your arm's still waving from your windows I can barely make it out Barely make it out It'll be a cold and quiet month To spend alone in my head But when you finally return We'll be stronger for this Stronger for this [Chorus] I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I The one that we took At our friends engagement Sometimes I catch myself swimming in your smile And the crease over your eyes If I try I remember what they look like [Guitar interlude] [Chorus] I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I Folded and creased like a bill In the paper compartment of my wallet A worthy home For something that comes and goes Oh, I know now why I've never felt at home I'm happy and healthy in my head But I've never felt so alone I spend my days counting the lines along the road They disappear right under me Like all the places that I've been Just thinking of you
I’ve held my breath, For twenty fucking years. And hesitation brought me here. It makes it harder to believe, That I’ll see you again. I’m so scared of growing up, I still act like I’m fifteen years old. Too early to give up, But too old to come home. I found myself at a distance, Empty Highways and freezing train carriages. I never thought I’d see myself like this, Starving to death in this fucking city apartment. Well I’m twenty one, And so alone. Well this distance it gave me an option, In the form of a shiny red apple. In it’s dark red skin, I saw my reflection, But I couldn’t take it, I sunk my teeth in. I watch your tail lights fade over this stale town. Your arm still waving from your window, I can barley make it out. It’ll be a cold and quiet month, To spend alone in my head. But when you finally return, We’ll be stronger for this. I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I, The one that we took, At our friends engagement. Sometimes I catch myself just swimming in your smile, And the crease over your eyes, If I try, I remember what they look like. I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I, Folded and creased like a bill, In the paper compartment of my wallet, A worthy home, For something that comes, And goes. Oh, I know now why I’ve never felt at home, I’m happy and healthy in my head, But I’ve never felt so alone, I spend my days counting the lines along the road, They disappear right under me, Like all the places that I’ve been, Just thinking of you.

something close to this: Felt my breathe for 20 fucking years it hasn’t taken on me here makes it harder to believe that ill see you again Im so scared of growing up, I still act like im 15 years old Too early to give up, But too old to put on hold Well I found myself at a distance, busy highway and freezing train carriages I never thought id see myself like this starving to death in this fucking city apartment Well im 21 so alone well this distance it gave me an option in the form of a shiny red apple, his dark red skin I saw my reflection but I couldn’t take it I sunk my teeth in I watch your taillights fade over this state of town your arms waving from your window I can barely make it out, barely make it out In my cold and quiet mind spend alone in my head But when you finally return we’ll be stronger for this, Stronger for this I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I the one that we took at a friends engagement sometimes I catch myself swimming in your smile and the crease over your eye, if I tried id remember what they looked like I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I, folded and creased like a bill in the paper compartment in my wallet, a worthy hole for something that comes and goes oh I know now why I never felt at home, im happy and healthy in my head but ive never felt so alone Spent my days counting lines along the road they disappear right underneath recall the places that I’ve been just thinking of you
I know how to play it but cba to tab it out so ill give you a simplified version of it so you can figure out strumming patterns etc, capo on 2nd fret Main riff/verse -320-- -750-- -540-- all these are picked individually in a pattern you can pick up from the video and then for the verse it is just strummed the song doesnt have a chorus but I see this as the chorus part 1 "well this distance it gave me an option..." chords G idk the name but its like a G but on the next string down so its like -32033 verse "chorus" part 2 "Ive got a tiny coloured print of you and I the one that we took at our friends engagement.." same as before, G -32003 main riff Idek if its the last verse or what "I've got a tiny coloured print of you and I folded and creased like a bill..." -32033 G 320033 200233 outro idk how to explain this so I just wrote the picking. Hammer on 2nd fret on the D string, pick the 2nd fret once more after its hammered on and then pick an open G --0h2--- --2--- ---0-- end with -32033 Hope it helped buddy
I prefer this over the album version. It's slightly quicker and the raw emotion is just... man, it's something. Only a few singers really capture emotion like John. Tades from Hot Mulligan comes to mind. And the singer from Microwave (forget his name, sorry) but yeah, what an awesome damn song.
He's the writer, let him be him. People came here for him, what he has to sing and how he sings it. Your entitled to your opinion, but let people be themselves.
I like to come back to this every now and then :)
same here tamz
yep
Back again
Same here .
Forever a masterpiece, thank you John
"Just thinking about all the places I've been just thinking of you."
Holy fuck. I
can relate.
Man, I've never seen someone play with so much raw emotion.
This guy is an absolute legend. A massive career ahead of him.
Danny Gunn turns out you were right
Good call.
I miss this John
Reminiscing the old time, when this song uploaded life been crazy. But never thought now im grown up and life is good, but just lonely on this ghost town.
He plays the guitar so well! The transitions in the measures are incredibly smooth and sound so good!
im ever grateful to have found this music when i did and glad i stumbled upon it again ❤
Lmao, coming back to this video, cringing about my old comment... these tones will never get old. For every now and then when you feel like shit.
3:45 something there happened inside of his head, whatever it was, the emotion in his face and voice still gives me shivers
Was wondering if anyone else noticed myself
He looks like hes about to cry...i dig it....it hits
+knockdownupside i think he iss though this song is very emotional
My favourite song of all time
8 years late but wow i couldnt have found this at a better time
I don't think I have gone 1 day in at least 2-3 months without watching this specific song.
This song is the epitome of heartbreak.
I'm happy and healthy in my head. But I've never felt so alone.
Honestly didn't expect his voice to sound this good. Props man. Love the heaviness he adds occasionally
Here it is 2019 and I still feel this. Heavy.
Luckily some songs never fade. This is definitely one of those.
Same, man.
I watched John play at Tape Deck Fest in Melbourne on Sunday and omfg. I listen to trophy eyes but hadn't heard his stuff. And while he was playing I was standing there doing everything in my power not to cry. I failed. The emotion and effort he puts into his music is moving and the lyrics seem to get me every time.
Still gets me everytime!!
Been my favourite band since they released the demo. This is s side many fans are missing, John is the man!
i can see the pain in my homeboys eyes
Even 2018 me is still emo. Wow.
When you think your Emo phase is over and bands like Modern Baseball and Tiny Movings parts bring back the old sound and you fall back in love.
2019 me is still emo.
nobody gets me like john
i will always love the guy who posts the lyrics
Holy fuck this is amazing
i love how he used some of a line from his trophy eyes song
[Verse 1]
I've held my breath
For twenty fucking years
And hesitation brought me here
It makes it harder to believe
That I'll see you again
I'm so scared of growing up
I still act like I'm fifteen years old
Too early to give up
But too old to come home
I found myself at a distance
Empty highways and freezing train carriages
I never thought I'd see myself like this
Starving to death in this fucking city apartment
Well, I'm twenty-one
And so alone
[Chorus]
Well, this distance it gave me an option
In the form of a shiny red apple
In it's dark red skin
I saw my reflection
But I couldn't take it
I sunk my teeth in
[Verse 2]
I watch your tail lights fade over this stale town
Your arm's still waving from your windows
I can barely make it out
Barely make it out
It'll be a cold and quiet month
To spend alone in my head
But when you finally return
We'll be stronger for this
Stronger for this
[Chorus]
I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I
The one that we took
At our friends engagement
Sometimes I catch myself swimming in your smile
And the crease over your eyes
If I try
I remember what they look like
[Guitar interlude]
[Chorus]
I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I
Folded and creased like a bill
In the paper compartment of my wallet
A worthy home
For something that comes and goes
Oh, I know now why I've never felt at home
I'm happy and healthy in my head
But I've never felt so alone
I spend my days counting the lines along the road
They disappear right under me
Like all the places that I've been
Just thinking of you
Gets me every time
Never forget
I’ve held my breath,
For twenty fucking years.
And hesitation brought me here.
It makes it harder to believe,
That I’ll see you again.
I’m so scared of growing up,
I still act like I’m fifteen years old.
Too early to give up,
But too old to come home.
I found myself at a distance,
Empty Highways and freezing train carriages.
I never thought I’d see myself like this,
Starving to death in this fucking city apartment.
Well I’m twenty one,
And so alone.
Well this distance it gave me an option,
In the form of a shiny red apple.
In it’s dark red skin,
I saw my reflection,
But I couldn’t take it,
I sunk my teeth in.
I watch your tail lights fade over this stale town.
Your arm still waving from your window,
I can barley make it out.
It’ll be a cold and quiet month,
To spend alone in my head.
But when you finally return,
We’ll be stronger for this.
I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I,
The one that we took,
At our friends engagement.
Sometimes I catch myself just swimming in your smile,
And the crease over your eyes,
If I try,
I remember what they look like.
I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I,
Folded and creased like a bill,
In the paper compartment of my wallet,
A worthy home,
For something that comes,
And goes.
Oh, I know now why I’ve never felt at home,
I’m happy and healthy in my head,
But I’ve never felt so alone,
I spend my days counting the lines along the road,
They disappear right under me,
Like all the places that I’ve been,
Just thinking of you.
Hits me in the heart.
A thousand Years reemastered
This man riffs
Soo much talent!
love him love trophy eyes!!
This is so great
Woah, this is so fucking good
love this so much.
mesmerizing...
sooo good
oh man this is good
This is perfect
I've held my breath
For twenty fucking years
And hesitation brought me here
It makes it harder to believe
That I'll see you again
I'm so scared of growing up
I still act like I'm fifteen years old
Too early to give up

I spend my days counting the lines along the road
They disappear right under me
Like all the places that I've been
Just thinking of you

"Let it all out man."

I wish I could ❤️ this rather than like

Love this song, need the lyrics.
do u not know english?
something close to this:
Felt my breathe for 20 fucking years it hasn’t taken on me here
makes it harder to believe that ill see you again
Im so scared of growing up, I still act like im 15 years old
Too early to give up, But too old to put on hold
Well I found myself at a distance, busy highway and freezing train carriages
I never thought id see myself like this starving to death in this fucking city apartment
Well im 21 so alone well this distance it gave me an option in the form of a shiny red apple,
his dark red skin I saw my reflection but I couldn’t take it I sunk my teeth in
I watch your taillights fade over this state of town your arms waving from your window
I can barely make it out, barely make it out
In my cold and quiet mind spend alone in my head
But when you finally return we’ll be stronger for this, Stronger for this
I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I the one that we took at a friends engagement
sometimes I catch myself swimming in your smile and the crease over your eye,
if I tried id remember what they looked like
I keep a tiny coloured print of you and I, folded and creased like a bill in the paper compartment in my wallet, a worthy hole for something that comes and goes
oh I know now why I never felt at home, im happy and healthy in my head but ive never felt so alone Spent my days counting lines along the road they disappear right underneath recall the places that I’ve been just thinking of you
Brownian96 i think the first line goes a little like "ive held my breath for 20 fucking years the hesitation brought me here"
the lyrics are on his 'bandcamp' page! :)
Can someone please explain me what are the lyrics precisely about?
theres another video of him playing this song. just as good if not better so go check it out. Eddie Deal. Amazing shit for both videos
that's a 10
This song is so much better than his Trophy Eyes songs
ok cue the waterworks
i like this version better
Anyone got tabs for this? Or at least knows/ can hear what tuning it's in?
Standard with Capo on 2nd fret.
I know how to play it but cba to tab it out so ill give you a simplified version of it so you can figure out strumming patterns etc, capo on 2nd fret
Main riff/verse
-320--
-750--
-540--
all these are picked individually in a pattern you can pick up from the video and then for the verse it is just strummed
the song doesnt have a chorus but I see this as the chorus part 1 "well this distance it gave me an option..."
chords
G
idk the name but its like a G but on the next string down so its like -32033
verse
"chorus" part 2 "Ive got a tiny coloured print of you and I the one that we took at our friends engagement.."
same as before,
G
-32003
main riff
Idek if its the last verse or what "I've got a tiny coloured print of you and I folded and creased like a bill..."
-32033
G 320033
200233
outro idk how to explain this so I just wrote the picking. Hammer on 2nd fret on the D string, pick the 2nd fret once more after its hammered on and then pick an open G
--0h2---
--2---
---0--
end with -32033
Hope it helped buddy
Thanks man
Daniel Lindegaard .Hansen It's cool bro

this
3:27
John marry me please xx
lets fight over him. like real fangirls do. *bitchslap*
Great song! Check us out if you feel like hearing new Alternative/Rock music!
salut moi c’est gally
Anyone know of any artists with a similar style to this?
well if you dont know yet, he sings in the band Trophy Eyes, u could start your exploration there
Yeah, found him through Trophy Eyes, I mean the acoustic style, with the screaming/shout style.
Neck Deep, Enter Shikari
Citizen have an acoustic ep with stuff similar to this.
Man, check out front porch step, island of a misfit boy is a good place to start
Chords?? :(
I need tabs for this song and can't find them anywhere please somebody!!!!!
Ultimate Guitar Tabs! (Theres an app, its great) Hope its not to late
John over here looking like h.p. lovecraft
I am 15
I wish he wouldn't growl as much he has a great voice for this style. Just take it down a notch with the screams. This isn't trophy eyes! Haha
It sounds just fine! It gives a good dynamic and is cathartic in nature, which is what this style is all about. Screams over acoustic is minttttt.
No no no that's what makes it so different and amazing. Best acoustic style I've ever heard tbh.
He's the writer, let him be him. People came here for him, what he has to sing and how he sings it. Your entitled to your opinion, but let people be themselves.
He did advise to take it down a notch
Ben Loftis can't you hear the emotion? Let the passion flow please
