My only sibling and brother died of suicide on January 11th of this year.
It has been devasting to my parents. However people have shown up en masse to support us.
I heard this song about two years ago. It was incredibly moving. However it has taken on New meaning in my life.
Thank you for sharing it with the world.
RIP Cory Matthew Lambert. Sept 25th, 1981 to January 11th, 2024.
You will be greatly missed.
🥺🙏🏻🤍
I am so sorry for your loss. I took the liberty of looking up your brother's obituary. Sounds like he positively impacted a lot of lives and left the world a better place. To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson: " ....to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. ". I am a survivor of suicide x4; I can't say I know how you feel, but I think I have a clue. Take care of yourself and your family, while you keep him in your heart. My condolences and best wishes to you.
So sorry for you and your family
@@likingpa Thank you. 🙏

Greatest lyric of all time. Glad Lizzy is bringing it to bigger audiences
Who is Lizzy? It's amazing and perfectly written as it is, who is Lizzy and how are they bringing it to bigger audiences?
Nevermind, after a bit of googling it's another artist with no capital letters in their song names and covers being shoved in people's faces
@@ssrrss321
Agreed. It’s only a good thing IF it inspires people to listen to Dawes’ version.
@@screwyootube1agreed, and Dawes is doing just fine without generic covers of their songs
Lizzy McAlpine's cover is beautiful. I believe her target demographic is different from Dawes, so it's a great chance to share their music with a different audience.
amazing how much more i like this song solo and acoustic. i already liked it quite a bit. so lucky i finally get to see him with the avett brothers at red rocks this summer. it will definitely be a highlight of 2024… brilliant lyrics, dawes!
it is absolutely incomprehensible how every time you listen to this song, you realize how much more and more enlightening it is. The first few times, I thought, "eh," but now I am dumbfounded. This song is literally a masterpiece.
❤
Well put and completely agree
Spot On!
I totally agree that the more I hear this tune the more I am humbled. They have a few songs like this
They are a rightous act. They deliver in their live performance as well
Agreed!!!!
that's the best lyric writing I've heard in a long time.
Brought tears to my eyes. Do you have any recommendations on bands with a great lyric writing?
Ali Hanif I know this is kind of late but look up Bright Eyes! They’re pretty depressing but the lyrics in most songs are great.
Nic Gibson I watched a dude play this at an open mic on Tuesday and had to check it out. You took the words out of my mouth. Mind blowing lyrics.
Vestiges and Claws is an album w good lyrics
One thing I love about Dawes is that lyrically it’s unapologetically sincere. Every song I’ve heard is just describing very real very human feelings
this has immediately become the most important song in my life
I feel like this song is about getting up after you fall down and accepting that life is hard but too beautiful to give up on.
Adalberto Rodriguez - To quote Morgan Freeman's character at the end of _Se7en…_
"Ernest Hemingway once wrote: 'The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.'
"I agree with the second part."
1495RTS why didn’t you just quote Hemingway 😂😂😂
Though it doesn't literally talk about this, it sure does feel like it
@@take1994 because Hemingway didn’t say “I agree with the second part”. That was from Morgan Freeman.
I agree. Thank you for your so simply stated and accurately, beautiful comment.
When a song writer can put a picture in your head with a small number of words and bring a tear to your eye...... that's a rare quality these days.......and this guy's got it.
The only person that does that for me is John prine and now this guy, just goes to show
@@zakaryheinemeyer4881Go hear yourself some Noah Gundersen
Jackson Browne
The last verse reminded me of something I heard on the radio: "In my humdrum life, the daily battle hasn't been good versus evil. It's hardly so epic. Most days, my real battle is doing good versus doing nothing. ... I've come to believe that while I wait to make a grand heroic gesture, I should just stick to the small inconveniences that let me share in life's inevitable, occasional calamity.
It's been years and years but I still come back to this video. It's pure magic right here.
I suffer from depression and regularly consider suicide
I’ve been in therapy awhile and my life is good
But a dark cloud follows me
And that first part really hit me so heavily
I "liked" your response, because I am glad to see you talking about this. I hope you are in a good place now and you and your therapist can keep chipping away at your dark cloud to keep you balanced. Take care and always be gentle with yourself. Signed, A 35+ Year Vet of Depression
I haven't considered suicide nearly as much as I'd prayed for immediate death in the height of my disabling chronic illnesses; but otherwise, I can relate.
Keep at the therapy, and at the fight in general. Silence the cautious urge not to let yourself get too happy. Stay open; and keep letting others in.
Every second we breathe is full of purpose already, but _especially_ when we make it so.
You are also not alone in this fight, no matter what it may feel like. Idk how the UA-cam DM system works now…but if you can, and you need to, feel free to reach out to me.
I once seriously considered suicide when I was 14. I never told anyone. I found an old gun under my Dad's dresser. I didn't even know how to load it. Or if it would even work. I opened up the case. I was on my knees looking at it. I just started crying uncontrollably and went to my room and crawled into my bed. My families house was 2 stories and my room was in the top corner. Everyone was downstairs getting ready for dinner and doing whatever.
Same here. But PLEASE hang in there! There really are some bright spots
Slippery When Wet, John Hiatt, who has struggled with depression for years, wrote a song about this: "and you can't run away from The Nagging Dark/ it's there with you everywhere, it's in your heart/ it finishes everything that you start/ oh you can't run away from The Nagging Dark....,"
I've always teared up anytime I heard this song but I heard it today for the first time since I lost my husband, and now I'm a total mess. This song is just beautiful and I love this acoustic version.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Life is beautiful then throws you an ugly curve ball. Music will help you heal.✌️
❤
The lyric about the dog plays with my heart strings
Yeah, me too. Losing my last one hit me like a sledgehammer.
Same. I think of my old friend often
Getting ready to become a demographic. Was smooth as well. I bet he rhymed traffic with that. Even though traffic is mentioned first.
I never had a dog growing up. I got married last year and my wife and I got a dog. I can't imagine losing him. That lyric drove me to tears when I heard it driving home.
I heard this song for the first time a couple days after my first dog died and it wrecked me.
Stumbled in here randomly ... wow, instant fan.
Never heard this song & never heard of Dawes until today. Now I'm obsessed. Haunting yet beautiful.
Yeah, that'll happen
Same here, came up on Spotify today, love when that happens 🙂.
Exactly this -- was listening to a Jason Isbell playlist and boom, this. Glad to see Bandcamp's ready to support my new obsession :-) .
I had heard this song probably 50 times, I loved the sound, but didn't really pay attention to the lyrics. Had it on one of my "Favorite" playlists on Spotify. I was dealing with a lot of emotional trauma, and was binge cleaning my basement when this song came on; and for whatever reason as soon as he said "Setting out to join a demographic" I realized what he was talking about. By the time the police officer asks what he is doing it for, I was literally on the ground completely releasing everything I was holding on to. I have never in my life felt so unbelievably vulnerable in my life. After listening to the whole song 5 or 6 times and allowing myself to really let the music speak, and really feel what was happening in the song, and in my life I felt lighter, cleansed almost. As an audiophile and songwriter I am very attuned to emotional energy in music. I just had never had a song impact me in that way.
I cant help but cry listening to this song. I'm 55 and I understand the words through the life I have lived
My favorite DJ Mark suggested this song when I asked him what his favorite band or singer was.
Today is June 6, 2023 ❤❤❤
Love this. I play it in my gig
This is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful, touching songs I've ever heard ( and I have had over 7 decades of every genre of music to choose from.) Just leaves me speechless. Thank you so much for sharing this acoustic version of the song. Nothing to hide behind - just a fantastic voice and great guitar picking.
This guy is a philosopher of our times! What talent. I'm in absolute awe!
Perhaps the best lyrics ever written in a song and I do not say that lightly.
Truth.
This is maybe the most beautiful song on UA-cam. It’s incredible. And recorded in Bristol.
The old man standing in the buffet line stanza is incredible. Great writing. Amazing.
a masterpiece
I am not certain if a better song was ever written and performed at such a level that it digs into your soul so deeply.
Thanks for this song.
My favorite verse is the final one. Especially the end of it:
“So on that day in late September, it’s not some stupid little ring, I’m gettin a little bit of everything.”
I like this line too. My wife and I just celebrated 40 years marriage on a day in late September
Michael Wattie 40 years is huge!
If you can give yourself to someone then you should
I had tried to cover this beautiful song, but I break down and cry every time I try. That's what great songwriting can do.
I swear I didn't see your post and copy it... I noticed your post after I posted mine and just ... nodded in agreement lol ....
Same here, Chris. I just break down in every verse. I hope I can get through it when performing.
Even just singing it alone on a drive has me tearing up uncontrollably.
@@alejandromagyaroff1222 I can make it to the third verse. Then when the bride responds to the groom I lose it.
I keep coming back to this version of this song. Loving it!!! ❤️
Any version is immaculate!
Damn that’s a great song. Thank you.
I'm speechless, thank goodness there are other ways to find greatness besides the force fed radio and TV. Please keep it coming.
Here's another great song. The lyrics get me every listen. Be well.

Hands down one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Agree
This never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Just a beautiful song with great lyrics.
I just recently discovered Dawes, and the most I find, the more enraptured I become. Coming close to filling the void left by the passing of Warren Zevon. Thank you, Taylor Goldsmith.
I discovered them about 2 years ago, and I think I listened to "North Hills" every day for the subsequent few months. Taylor seems to ooze Jackson Browne for me...
Filling a huge void in the world of music these days.
Years after your comment I just discovered this version and saw this. Funny enough this songs tune reminds me of Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner
I get the Warren Zevon (the god!) reference. But my first thought was a cross between David Bowie's Space Oddity and Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
He sings better like this than when the whole band plays for some reason.
this damn song has haunted me during hard times...during good times,.never been able to find it when i wanted to, but it found me again..synchroninisity at its best.
I just heard this on the radio, quickly looked it up on their playlist.... and was surprised it wasn't Jackson Browne. I just love finding new artists. This was so sweet and such simple yet beautiful chords.
Spend 3 days in the ICU watching your son seizure from a suicide attempt and this song has a new meaning.
Hey @Boxhawk! We at L&B are sending good vibes your way. We sincerely hope your son recovers and finds happiness.
I'm really sorry @Boxhawk. I lost a good friend to suicide 2 years ago, please be well and keep yourself talking to others you are close with.
Hope the two of you are in the best possible places today, all things considered.
It's music like this that reminds me that I'm still young and have much to learn. That all my inexperience and ignorance is not just my downfall but also my upbringing that makes me who I am
So well written, so beautifully performed, so deeply felt
Bob Dylan would like this - it's amazing a song can be this good when there have been so many great songs before it.
He actually told them it was an amazing song:)
The only time he talked to the group while both were on a long Tour.
For me, this is a song about the kind of people we know or may meet or may pass through our lives unnoticed, Everyday people dealing with everyday joys & sorrows. Myself included. You live & you do the best that you can. For some reason it puts me in mind of Thoreau's verse, ' “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation''.
This is an example of a song that "works" so well because the lyrics are awesome. That along with a catchy sounding melody makes it a real winner. He's being interviewed on the Charlie Rose show tonight.
this song gets me every time I listen to it...
Incredible...
As far as the mic, as he says in another one of his songs, "It's like January Christmas lights under billion year old stars"..
This should the version on the album. So much emotion such a powerful song
This has to be the best song ever written. Name another song with such deep and profound lyrics.
The verse about the old man standing in line was beautiful.
Brilliant and evocative poetic lyrics enjoy wholeheartedly.
This might be the best thing I've ever heard. Always makes me wonder how artists get through some of their songs without breaking down into tears.
What a songwriter! He certainly understands the deeper meaning of life!
Maybe one of only 3 or 4 dudes who could pull off wearing that hat. Fantastic song, great acoustic version. Thank you mucho poster person!
I've got to be at least 1,000 of the views here.
This song brings me to tears every time. I had never heard this version....LOVE IT
Makes me cry 10 years later
With all the different stories and perspectives I feel like this song is truly about a little bit of everything
As a teenager, you think the greatest opening line is "there's a lady whose sure all that glitters is gold and she's buying a stairway to heaven." You become an adult, hear this, and you KNOW it's "With his back against the San Fransisco traffic ... "
So glad to find this song again. I've been searching for awhile and couldn't find it under "chicken wing song".
This is one of those songs that everyone identifies with in completely unique ways. Absolutely Beautiful.
This is a perfect delivery of a perfect song.
i dont know how you made me feel anything any more...but thank you...i was searching for somethimg...anything when i come across your band....WOW... thank you
I always liked the studio version of this song. The lyrics were always what got me but the song seemed dry and almost forced. This version is beautiful. No producers. No added musicians to play around, just lyrics, guitar, and emotion. Absolutely beautiful
This song has kept me alive!
I heard this song for the first time a couple days ago and it has to be one of the most beautiful and emotional songs I’ve ever heard! Simply amazing! ❤
he is an amazing songwriter/singer
It scares me
Thank you dawes, I appreciate this song.
can't remember when I first heard this song, it was the first time hearing a Dawes song. I do remember saying hmmm... that really spoke to me let's see what else they have, the second song was Way back home. These guys really know how to paint a picture with their song writing. I'm a now a big fan not to mention the harmony's and lead vocal and the easy chord progressions which are nice when you play a little guitar.
Heard this song on Lithium on SiriusXM the other day, what a find. Thanks to Tom Morello and his show for putting the spotlight on Dawes, someone I may not have found otherwise. And yes, in Malibu people can write great lyrics 😉
Songwriters and musical artists can make me feel again....Thanks,Dawes...and thank God!
God, I love this song!
I saw him sing this at Beach Road Weekend on Martha's Vineyard this past weekend. He stops the heart. Then Bahamas got up there with him and I realized how lucky we are that they are around to speak to our hearts.
Chills. Dawesone
Whatever helps me to forget about
The things that brought me to my knees ...
definite the most underestimated song, beautiful lyrics!
One of the best written songs... my god, how have I missed these guys!?
Oh, it's a little bit of everything,
It's the mountains,
It's the fog,
It's the news at six o'clock,
It's the death of my first dog,
It's the angels up above me,
It's the song that they don't sing,
It's a little bit of everything."
Best version of one of their best songs. Lucky for us we get get to see this kind of stuff in Bristol more than most. R&R is amazing.
Goddamn, this songs hits just right every time.
Met these guys; they're the real deal. If you're looking for an amazing live show, you don't have to look any further. Any haters are just jealous.
Just came up as a recommended as an addition to a playlist I had built.....1st time hearing it and it literally made me stop and share it with everyone I know..... Fuck me the storytelling. Just sitting here thinking about life now.
My fav' acoustic song in years, came across Dawes a year or so ago. Love this song, Taylor's a fkn amazing songwriter! Love the album "Nothing Is Wrong"
What a beautiful song and such a bitter sweet performance!
This song is so beautiful and meaningful. It makes my eyes water.
This song is fu**ing beautiful.
Such an amazing song. Also an amazing performance of it. Raw and full of emotion.
Nothing better than raw, live music...EVER! thanks for the awesome vids!
What a well constructed song. And the poetry. Bravo sir.
This is absolutely beautiful.
A friend of mine in Second Life sang this song at her show...blew me away .... .. great song ! I love songs that rip your heart out of your chest like this one does.
When I heard this song on the radio today, I had to pull over, 'cause I couldn't see the road. Wow.
It's a powerful song for sure.
Blessings. It's a gift Y'all going on, to feel it. xxo
Radio? This song was on the radio? Where do you live, so I can thank the DJ for playing this?
Wow. Beautiful!! This is what music, what songwriting, what singing is about. 💕
What a beautiful song, made even richer by this performance.
One of my all-time favorites! Brilliant!
I remember the first time l listen to this song my eyes feel like a god damn waterfall
Still happens to me with this rendition and I've heard it a hundred times.
Great song, heard it for the first time a few month's back, and love it...Every once in a while you here a song that instantly you add to your favorite list.
Great guitar/ voice/ lyrics...that's what makes a geat song !!!
Gotta be one of the greatest songs ever written. Just beautiful ❤
It's killing me... I love the song, and I love Jackson Browne, but I can't get over how much they sound the same.
A great great song.
Had the great pleasure and honour to meet these boys in Manchester, UK this year. Great, humble approachable lads, as well as being one the most amazing current bands in the world today. This song is perfect! It reminds me a little of These Days by Jackson Browne, which ain't a bad thing. Can't wait for the album!
That song gets me every time. Great lyrics
