First time I heard this song was this weekend while in the middle of a very dark depressive episode.... Honestly it's what helped me emerge from the darkness. There's nothing to fear once you accept our reality. All we have is this moment. Breathing deeply in the forever now.....
Hey, you doing ok? Sitting here in Kentucky, grooving on this groove at 5:04
Truly a work of art. Love Lee's keyboard strings and the arpegiated vocals at the end. So Dawesesque!
As someone who has never listened to Dawes, this is a pretty bangin' little ditty.
There's nothing wrong with exploring and evolving. The only constant is change.
You guys are incredible songwriters and musicians. Big thumbs up.
I've been a Dawes fan for a long time but this is the first time I've been truly stunned by one of their songs. Never mind the courage it takes to take a risk - it requires immense gifts even to come up with something like this. BRAVO Dawes. Keep at it!
I had just discovered Dawes before I heard this song. When I found it. I knew my Father was dying. Aside from the denial this helped.
Plus it was the album title 😂
These kids are the best lyricists to hit the music scene in like at least 5 decades. They are brilliant songwriters.
marni marin I just discovered them and in my opinion the writing is novel like accompanied by good music. I don't think I've noticed that about a musical group before. So I dig it.
big fan of Dawes
however (with respect) please expand your horizons
This is s great band. Wonderful words and music. The kind you’d put on in your living room with the widows opened. They gave words a lot of thought for this album.👏🏽👏🏽💕💕
The strings and that guitar tone together is just something else. The way the over-lapping vocals have been captured is beautiful. Great track!
Shout out to the string section during the guitar solo.
It is refreshing to see a band exploring its musicality...expanding in not so obvious directions and making music for the sheer love of the craft. This is great music.
I can say it now. My pops was going through ALS when I discovered this song. And it kind of eased me. Tears included... I'm good now.
Very Steely Dan. Love you guys. Can't wait to hear the record in its entirety.
Steely Dan… Lol -- NOT.
Ever heard "Can't Buy a Thrill"? Thanks for the comment dinosaur
my friend said the same thing! i don't particularly hear it though
Love this song. Like most Dawes, it's like a quality beer. The more you sip it, the more you like it.
Well said!
great comment.
You said "like" three times in two sentences.
Rusty Nickels I really like it, bro!

Hey kid at the show tonight..
The face beyond the barricade
How ya dance and ya sing to every single line
Like it was you up on that stage
I mean to know your secret
I'm asking you for help
How do I fall in love with anything
Like you seem to do so well?
I gotta get back to when it came out
The way it was supposed to sound
Before money was ever changing hands
And my feet were on the ground
When I could feel the wind's direction
When I knew what songs to sing
And he said, "Try not to get upset
Let it all go by
Because how can it be that bad
If we're all gonna die?"
So I started to think about
That girl that disappeared
And if really was the road that pulled me away
Or if I'm still a victim of my fears
As she showed me, the machine ran
That our words protect us from
How she could keep me in the moment
How that's all there ever was
As she called, I asked to see her
Even if it's just a couple days
I could meet her out in Georgia
She could fly out to LA
And if the plane goes down on her way to me
I think I know how she would react
She'd smile and close her eyes..
Think about her life..
While some voice screaming in the back
"We're all gonna die."
So try not to get upset
Everything is fine
Hey, it's not that big a deal
we're all gonna die
Love it Dawes! Good job taking musical risks. Matching the strings and fading it into the guitar solo was beautiful
They sound like everyone else now. Come back Tay!
Discovered this song through a good friend a few days after my wife of 40 yrs had passed away. Helped me through the most difficult time of my life. Love this song.
All of the greatest bands in rock history didn't chase commercial success...their greatness transcended the pop trends of the day and that created the popularity that lead to songs landing on the pop charts. The first two songs released sound very much like strained attempts to go more commercial. I just saw them live at Amoeba in Berkeley and they were still fantastic live...they do seem to be trying to fix something that was in no way broken...I do hope there's something more to latch on to on the rest of the record...perhaps these songs will grow on me...but the reason why I latched on to Dawes in the first place was when I first listened to "Nothing is Wrong" literally every song sounded amazing to me on the first go round and I found myself singing along halfway way through...now that's greatness!
This song changed my life and my perspective on life thank you so much. I will never forget the first time I heard this song for as long as I'm alive

What a wonderful use of space, sound, rhythm and heart.
Exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. Thank you.
I dig it! They are evolving. How can that be a bad thing?. For me the albums have gotten better and better. Can't wait for the new one
I don't get all the hate. This is a beautiful song. It may be a bit of a stylistic departure, but it's not some crazy left turn. Nice work, boys.
Man, I guess I just didn't scroll down enough to see any hate because that would've bewildered me just as it did you. Yes, it's a departure, exactly, but still a beautiful song with great lyrics (and I'm getting the feeling Taylor has a thing with airplanes).
Guys dont get upset . Its the production approach that makes you feel like that . It will sound like dawes if you listen to it in a live situation. i promise .
I really like this one. Listen to the npr stream everyone. The rest of the album is real good as expected.
Fantastic group. Fantastic lyric.
I'm absolutely in love with this song...
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
I like this song, I listen too so many different genres of music, and cross over to so many types of music with an open mind. Remember, every one has different tastes, and we're all critics!
Great chill-mood song with a killer hook! But you have to look deeper than the tone and hook - with a sense of levity and humor - to really get this song. It's one of the best Dawes songs to date imhu. As for the truth behind the lyrics, I was immediately struck upon hearing the first verse of this song song and was reminded of experiencing Dawes live at Red Wing Roots Festival in Virginia last year. There was this young kid next to me - just behind the barricade - totally entranced with the band. He knew everything about them and could tell every song that was coming up just by the look in Taylor's eyes. He sang loudly, and with tears of a wise old soul this college freshman from UVA must have been like countless others that have impacted Taylor and the other band members as they do show after show after show after tedious show. It's like I could see inside the songwriter's inspiration. Got goosebumps.
Who's here because of the coronavirus?
I was looking for a good death song. 😈
This has been on my likes videos for a year now, but it hit differently 🤧
Just found these guys last nite, late to the party, but glad I showed up! Love their style
If you hold your breath long enough it feels like you're on the weed
@@scottcook740 it's nice to discover new music. When I first found them, this was the song.

Just a beautiful song.
I like it. A lot.
Really puts things in perspective. I needed this today. Anyone interested in similar ideas to those expressed in the song, look into stoicism.
Bang on with everything they do
This is a great song.
The more I listen the more I love it!
So excited to see then Oct 23@24! I like they are experimenting. I like the atonality a lot.
My new favorite song
Anyone who's making anything new only breaks something else
Interesting new sound, I think I like it
Just heard a version of this (the first I ever heard of this band) on Prairie Home Companion (a new, music-centered version of the radio show) that is different from the studio version and I think very wonderful also. Thankful for this discovery!
This song has HIT written all over it
First time i ever heard this song was on a 16 ish hour flight 😳
This is the coolest most face it song about dying I've ever heard.
I appreciate that Dawes is going for something different, all I can say is the tracks I have heard so far, I don't care for. Just sayin'
He wrote this as a joke the whole band chuckles when they play it. Blue eyes hole
Not all that into this band, but this is a really great song.
5 minutes alone!!
Is it me or can anyone hear the 70s in this at times? I heard the Carpenters and R@B and a bunch of stuff while that guitar is still raunchy. I love it.
Ok these comments are mean but it does show the passion of the fan base of this great band
How are they mean? This isn't cheerleading, it is just someone's personal opinion. I've been a fan of this band but the last two albums have been really weak and while I like the experimentation with this track, it is a pretty bland song that I don't plan to listen to again.
I honestly like it....
Super awesome. 😍 😍 😍
Dear Dawes, all of you listen to your first album, North Hills, and use it for inspiration, then hit the studio quick and record another album. Thank you. Signed, Concerned Fan
Wow. What a departure. But I kinda like it!
Yeah, and not the first departure on this album - but like you, I still LIKE it.
I'm not going to say they've gone commercial yet. I'll wait to hear the whole album, but I'm nervous.
Jeff Leach Music 1 year later, what do you think?
When I first saw these guys, they were genuinely excited to talk with you. Nowadays, they apathetically acknowledge your compliments (except for Tay before he left). Dawes is business now. To me, these songs are a rekindling of a previous phase of life, Simon Dawes. And with all those same ingredients, why not use that moniker? It's like selling a double cheeseburger with only one patty.
Saw you guys today @ Laurel Live. So amazing and beautiful. I have no doubt you will be too big and I won't be able to $$ a ticket.
This is totally different for me. I love it. Lyrically hard to listen to except for the reasoning and the musicianship.
Great song. Reminds me of Joni Mitchell, one of our greats...
I like this track a lot better than 'Tequila'. The arrangement reminds me a lot of Bahamas, which isn't a bad thing because I love him/them. But the song itself doesn't seem as strong as what I've come to expect from Dawes. Having listened to the new album a few times, I'm warming up to it overall. (I like 'Quitter' best.) I saw the new Beatles movie last night, and in it Elvis Costello tells of how he felt when 'Rubber Soul' came out, how he hated the change of direction, what had happened to his Beatles? I'm not comparing Dawes to the Beatles in any way other than that I love them both, so I'm prepared to give them a fair go. Maybe I'll end up loving this new stuff more than the old stuff one day, just as I love the later Beatles even more than the early Beatles.
As Edgar Allen Po-ish as these lyrics sound the point is life and living ours apart from the distractions that would separate us from that. Life...
We are all gonna die. Hard to argue with that
pretty - thanks
Wow, as Melissa said, what a departure for Dawes - but a good one. Wouldn't have thought of the Steely Dan "Can't Buy a Thrill" comparison if I hadn't read that comment, but I get it. This is a great mellow song and I really like the strings.
Gulp. I was really excited for a change of direction from the band, but this ain't it. The last album was good but a little ballad-heavy for me. Didn't translate into a terrific live album. But it was still moving and melodic, and I hoped their maturation, from the band coming undone and coming back together, would lead to more growl, more rock, more jamming, letting their musicality, their earnest energy, Taylor's raw economical storytelling, lead the way. I hoped they had locked themselves in a room, listened to some 1974 Grateful Dead and Rolling Stones, and let it come out raw. So far, this isn't the fantastic Dawes rock album I hoped to find. A simplistic, repetitive country-pop song first, now a noodling spartan ballad, neither of which hit the lyrical highs or deliver surprises to which we've grown accustomed. I know the bar is set high, but this is a band which CAN reach dizzying heights. As much as I want them to forever come through my town in clubs and small venues so I can point them to the nearest Korean bbq joint or watch them from 20 feet away without mortgaging the house, more than anything I want them to hit the high we all know of which they are capable: America's greatest rock'n'roll band (or at least as good as it gets).
I feel ya, but not willing to throw in the towel on the album yet. These are just two cuts released so far. This one I do kind of like, with the new more vintage R&B feel to it, but I hope it's not the high point of the album. And I don't think it will be (I hope). The first single, I must admit, did not elicit more than a "meh..." from me.
gulp. you don't know what you're talking about
+mynameispolak he does know what he's talking about though doesn't he. it's a well thought out intelligent comment about how poor both songs have been so far. just because it's dawes doesn't mean we should like it. i've been a massive fan of dawes but this is honestly just tripe.
+paul mitchell you don't either. yeah the tequila ditty was a little bit of a let down but hating on this song just because it's a sea change is what it sounds like you're doing. this is a good song.
Very different from Stories Don't End, my fave....this will still grow on me like the other new track.
Sounds like some throw away Hall & Oates thing.
I don't know why, but I feel like this and when the tequila runs out will be outliers on the album as a way to generate publicity, and the rest will be more true to Dawes's style ( even if it does have a slightly more pop-y vibe)
The drum machine hits, strings, and buried vocals blend Eagles with the first Willy Wonka soundtrack. I hear Blue Meanies in there, too. Fagan and H. and Oates also feel like muses. I will listen, but man, I miss the storytelling.
Now I know/understand why Tay left the band, I don't mind this single actually I like it more than the first. But wow what a strange direction these guys took.
Don't cry for me. I'm already dead
Finding this song made me believe in fate.
Joe Walsh just announced that this is his song. Google says it’s by Malcolm Middleton. Which is correct?
Good job DAWES. change your style...STILL GREAT!
Some of us sooner than others
Are you ok?
Listen to Aqueous Transmission by Incubus. The exact same feeling to it. Same producer?
Interesting Dawes. Very ethereal feeling. I will need to of course listen to this and give a more comprehensive review. Very much blake mills sounding guitar cuts with falsetto and big strings that almost cut out the vocals at moments. Looking forward to hearing the full album front to back. I almost think this one is over produced. Bringing in strings like this seems like an easy direction to take but not completely necessary. This could be a very nice acoustic song. I do find myself wanting bigger riffs, and more of that punch Dawes is known for. However, I do respect what they are doing and hear Dan Fogelberg and even Clapton in this writing. Bands need to deviate and find a new angle of fresh material. Who would want to hear the same rock album over and over again? Not Dawes fans. I still love hearing new Dawes, no matter what it is. Talented writers, singers, and performers.
I'm unsure. It has good moments, but I'm just not a huge fan of Taylor's soft, falsetto thing. Vocals get better as the song goes along for me.
I like my morning jacket too.
Wow, I gotta say this song is below their usually high standards… WHY release this? Who listened to this and thought that was a good idea?
3:34 :*(
talk about getting lost in a costume shop
Well i mean, in 2120 the water level is gonna basically kill us all
I love listening to moody stuff during autumn, but this just drones on for five minutes and doesn't build up to anything interesting -- a letdown after Dawes' last record for sure.
Wow. This sucks....I have all their albums and Middle Brother...but damn...this is horrible. What the hell happened?
Agree… WTH???
they're artists. They want to keep growing, exploring, and learning, not just keep playing the same old predictable sound until they die, though many fans would like that.
This is not the worst song I've ever heard but it's bland and certainly not a strong piece when considered next to the rest of the Dawes catalogue. If it was not for Dawes' track record, I probably would not have listened to something like this longer than a minute. Between this and "Tequila" I'm officially worried about the new album. I remain hopeful and I'll certainly support one of my truly favorite bands but man there better be some gems on the new album to balance out these oddball tracks. I just watched a live performance of "My Way Back Home" from a little while back. Where is that band?! Pains me to rip on Dawes at all. Can't help feeling like an armchair commando, commenting on artists working at a level I'm nowhere near. However, art is about creating honest real reaction. "You can't throw something out there without watching it fall."
I dont know what drugs they are doing or if its a new production man. They are way fucking off the map, lost in fact. Why fix something that wasnt broken by experimenting? For the 2 releases Ive listened to off this album its sounds to be having trouble getting off the ground. I may lose interest.
its definitely not the producer blake mills he has put out some of the best current day albums but this is just terrible it's like somebody has stolen their identity and changed every bit of their sound
Love you guys, but damn this doesn't do you any justice. Bland song and production, doesn't build up to anything. Sorry, very disappointing I have always tried to turn people ionto you guys, what am I suppose to do now?
I love Dawes. I don´t like the song, not because it´s different just because I don´t like it. First impressions count. I dont like the "may be at the tenth listening I´d like it". This is music, not a dish of food
(sorry for my english, Im spanish)
very poor. we had a good run but dawes seem to be dead. a lot of fans are gonna be alienated by this bland shallow rubbish.
What happened!??
Confused?
Not for me...
Hope the rest of the new CD is MUCH better.
Sorry, its bland
