Taken from the album Post-War, out now on Merge Records. Vinyl / CD: www.mergerecord... Download: apple.co/24QjZlk Stream: spoti.fi/1Wvsgt5 Directed by Joel Trussell and Eric Johnson
Had this recomended in a '2000s dad rock' playlist on spotify and while i dont think this is rock in the slightest, it is an extremely beautiful song and the music video makes it 10x better. What a gorgeous video.
I cannot describe how much this song/movie means to me. It seriously is my #1 favorite, hands down. Thank you Joel Trussell, Eric Johnson, M. Ward and everyone else involved that made this epic novel come to life. ~Tucker
Lyrics I sailed a wild, wild sea Climbed up a tall, tall mountain I met a old, old man Beneath a weeping willow tree He said now if you got some questions Go and lay them at my feet But my time here is brief So you'll have to pick just three And I said What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart And how can a man like me remain in the light And if life is really as short as they say Then why is the night so long And then the sun went down And he sang for me this song See I once was a young fool like you Afraid to do the things That I knew I had to do So I played an escapade just like you I played an escapade just like you I sailed a wild, wild sea Climbed up a tall, tall mountain I met an old, old man He sat beneath a sapling tree He said now if you got some questions Go and lay them at my feet But my time here is brief So you'll have to pick just three And I said What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart And how can a man like me remain in the light And if life is really as short as they say Then why is the night so long And then the sun went down And he played for me this song
This song is beautiful; I am not sure if it tugs at my heart strings because of its content alone or the story behind it from Patton Oswalt. Thanks for the music Pat. It's chaos.Be Kind.
I saw Matt and his band in SC maybe like 2016 or 2017, was his first time playing in the state. It was Highwater festival. I was front row and I literally cried during this song. I'm pretty sure the hot bass player saw me but I don't care!
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart? And how can a man like me remain in the light? And if life is really as short as they say, then why is the night so long? Any answers?

what movieee what novel
Lyrics
I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man
Beneath a weeping willow tree
He said now if you got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet
But my time here is brief
So you'll have to pick just three
And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
And how can a man like me remain in the light
And if life is really as short as they say
Then why is the night so long
And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song
See I once was a young fool like you
Afraid to do the things
That I knew I had to do
So I played an escapade just like you
I played an escapade just like you
I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man
He sat beneath a sapling tree
He said now if you got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet
But my time here is brief
So you'll have to pick just three
And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
And how can a man like me remain in the light
And if life is really as short as they say
Then why is the night so long
And then the sun went down
And he played for me this song
It's "played an escapee" not "played an escapade". Listen closely. You don't play an escapade, you GO ON an escapade.
This song is beautiful; I am not sure if it tugs at my heart strings because of its content alone or the story behind it from Patton Oswalt. Thanks for the music Pat. It's chaos.Be Kind.
M.Ward you keep me coming back for more. Well done sir.
I think every piece is a beautiful gem. I'll spend the rest of my life admiring them as I do my best to put it back together.
I saw Matt and his band in SC maybe like 2016 or 2017, was his first time playing in the state. It was Highwater festival. I was front row and I literally cried during this song. I'm pretty sure the hot bass player saw me but I don't care!
Omg! I just now, for the very first time, heard this on WDST, Woodstock radio. Wow. Wow,wow,wow!
Absolutely amazing. I didn't know this guy, looking for some more. Thanks Merge
Tears in my eyes every time.
I'm going to need more!!
This song, like all M.Ward songs tell a story, a story that is diffrent to each person.
Awesome song awesome story awesome tale
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
And how can a man like me remain in the light?
And if life is really as short as they say, then why is the night so long?
Any answers?
