It's my 29th birthday today (growing old) and I'm sitting at home, alone with no family or friends around ( I confess a bit of self-pity here)... and listening to this. This song is the water to quench my throat. Hugs to everyone who's growing old.
+Fares Marek Basmadji I completely understand your sentiment. I am turning 19 this year, and I know that's technically not 'that old', but it sure feels like. I also know what's it like to be away from friends and family and I recently moved to a new country for my college. This song, and music in general has been my mechanism to fight all the loneliness and everything that comes with something that has been so drastic. Cheers! I hope you're doing good and are happy with the way things are.
lol.. 3 years later, and still not 40. I hope that you have had more birthdays and it has gotten better each year. I am 43 and just got put on Jack Garratt this past Sunday and I have fallen completely inlove.. I also shared him with my 25 year old SUN who is a music lover like me! We are never old.. just get older/wiser.. Much love from the US, Fares!
Well this comment was made 3 years ago. I hope you had a great 29th birthday, Fares! I still have a few more years before I turn 29, but I’m already feeling kinda old right now. And it’s not really a pleasant feeling to me.
Hi Fares, I turned 60 last year and can tell you nothing changes unless you make it change. I remember the youth of my day was exactly the same as it is today. Maybe less violent crime back then. The days are the same, the nights are also the same, the weeks, months and years are the same so please don't just think you are old and lonely as you have many years to do something about it for the better. For me, I did nothing about it so it is my own fault. This video brings it all home to me when I was just like those boys enjoying and discovering their own self with freedom and wonder in mind. Go on now, push yourself to meet new people and change the coarse of your life as before you know it you will be 60 like me.
I've been waiting for this dude to come out with an album for what seems like a life time. He is so fucking talented, and his EP's are amazing. If he ever does release an album, I wouldn't be surprised if it blows up BIG. Jack Garratt is pure creative class.
This song got me through the simultaneous deaths of both of my best friends from childhood. It still does. They'll remain forever young in my heart till the day I join them
did something similar for me weirdly 2 of my closest friends ever. one hung himself, the other died of a heart attack in august 2019 because he had a coke problem, ill never forget any of my friends that have passed, im probably next
I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. Both my parents are gone and it's just me and my big brother now. This has been our song since it came out. Being the youngest in the family sucks should nature take it's usual course. My brother means the world to me. Until that day I will cherish every moment from the endless parties and camping trips with our kids to every little stupid squabble ❤
Listening to this song after like 4 years. I still remember the first time when I heard it. I was getting ready for school and saw it on TV. A lot has changed since then but this song still strikes me like it did when I heard it the very first time. This song deserves to be heard by every single human being out there. Absolutely love it!
When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke Like I did when youth stayed, youth stayed 'Til the second round When I grow old, the sun will coat Shine on every youth stain, youth stain Never settling down And no wonder I keep you close You're the water to quench my throat And if I never let you go Will you keep me young Keep me young When I grow old, my weathered soul And memories recluse, elusive Help me take them out So keep me young and call my bluffs And help me out when you say, you say There's no room for doubt Say I'm stronger and keep me close And be the water and test my cold And if I never let you go Will you keep me young Keep me young Oh, when my heart stops beating And my blood turns cold And oh, when my heart stops beating And my breath won't flow And oh, when my heart stops beating When you go, oh no, I know Oh, when my heart stops beating And my blood turns cold And oh, when my heart stops beating And my breath won't flow And oh, when my heart stops beating When you go, I'll know I'm... When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke But just as long as you stay, you stay I found a way out
Man I can't get enough of that deep bass line and clean guitar intro....then those meaningfull lyrics...that raspy guitar bursting on to the scene at 1:41...those percussion pauses...aah fuck it everything about this track is just epic!
i love this song!! it's one of those songs that makes me have visions of memories that never happened of a time and place i've never even lived in. ^.^
Here you are..ready to take the plunge, making that big decision that will change your life probably forever. You have met your girlfriend's parents several times but this is different. This sounds like forever. Everything is set up, everybody knows. She's young but then so are you. She's perfect, she's all you need to finally get out of your darkness. She's the one. You know it. Here you are. Future is finally knocking at your door. You're about to open that door but suddenly you realise. You're too young, you're not ready.You're not living the life you're meant to live, you're not meant to live an ordinary life. You know faith and fear cannot exist together. You feel paralyzed and terrified and your heart is racing out of control. Suddenly, you find yourself running away. Running away from responsibilities, from yourself, from the life you could've had if only you'd dared to...
I discovered this song in 2016 and it kept me afloat for a while. Life fell apart, picking up the pieces, never felt whole and might never feel it.. But always learning to be a whole other melody. The constant is the existence of rhythm, what flows through you as we flow through it all. When we listen to things like this we're more in tune. That's all we need, and all there is to it. Who knows what another 7 years will do to the individual notes or which melodies will have stopped, but me I'm going for another play.
this song made me cry it's very nostalgia inducing and also when he was burying the rat it reminded me that i'm still grieving over my ratm nimh, who recently died so thanks jack
So happy Jack Garratt finally gets more attention. When I first saw him life as an opening act (I had never heard of him before) my jaw actually dropped. He's so creative and seriously talented.
One of my all time favorite songs!! Don't understand why it makes me feel so many different emotions all at the same time. Jack, this song is genius ❤️
I have no words to describe the love that i have for Jacks music. This song is just amazing and the video is great. Cant wait to see him perform live at Positivus.
The talent of this guy never ceases to amaze me. Unbelievably gifted. I hope he continues to show his musical genius off to the world for a long long time
When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke Like I did when youth stayed, youth stayed Till the second round when I grow old the sun will cope shining on every youth stain, youth stain Never settling down Chorus And no wonder, I keep you close Your the water to quench my throat And if I never let you go Will you keep me young Keep me young When I grow old my weathered soul And memories reclusive, elusive Help me take them out So keep me young and call my bluffs And help me out when you say, you say There's no rules foretold Say I'm stronger and keep me close And be the water and test my cold And if I never let you go Will you keep me young, keep me young Oh when my heart stops beating And my blood turns cold And oh when my heart stops beating And my breath won't flow And oh when my heart stops beating When you go oh no I Oh when my heart stops beating And my blood turns cold And oh when my heart stops beating And my breath won't flow And oh when my heart stops beating When you go oh no I When I grow old I'll drink and smoke But just as long as you stay, you stay I found a way out
“And if I never let you go, will you keep me young?” My God that line just gives me so many emotions getting older is so bitter sweet all we have are the memories not wanting to fade away
I'm so happy to see Jack Garratt getting big! I went to go see him at the Samsung Studio Live last year and he was somehow better live! I recently heard his song Worry playing on the radio at where I work and it was the highlight of my week. I'm going to go see him soon at the San Diego House of Blues and honestly cannot hold my excitement.
Jack Garratt keep it up man, I love your music! If you read this comment, please come out to the Bay Area again, I would be eternally grateful to catch you live. Cheers
Oh this makes me weepy thinking of my siblings and how they make me feel like a kid forever when I'm with them even though I'm in my late thirties. Just beautiful beautiful song writing. Lovely film clip too.
ahh i swear this song is so beautiful its like you can hold it in your hands and put it through your skin into your heart, where it just sits and creates a place in your heart full of comfort and love. ahhhh
I first heard this song in 2016 when travelling 5000 miles to meet the love of my life. Unfortunately things didn't work. But I heard it again today in the gym changing room and it took me right back to that moment. It felt suffocating, my stomach became flooded with butterflies, tears in my eyes. Thank you for taking me back to the best and worst time of my life.
I remember seeing him perform the most incredible set at Bushstock Festival 2014 in a church, so many vibes!!!! Tried to buy him a pint at the after party and my card got declined, so he kindly bought us both one. Top fella!
Oh Jack! You are such a wonderful and creative singer. My favorite song is Water, it's so powerful in so many ways! You're getting better and better. I'm waiting for you to come to Portugal. Love you!
Walked out to this song on my wedding day, and could barely keep it together . . . I tie it so closely to big, beautiful turning points in my life now. Thanks, Jack.
my gosh the more I listen to it.......it's my tune of 2015......he's amazing live.......seen loads of amazin bands but he's the best by far.....1 man band xx
was watching Me before You and heard the song surprise yourself...i didn't know who the artist was so got the soundtrack and found the song from that point I was hooked...two weeks later saw him in DC..lol...love him..awesome artist

agreed✌
recently went to a mumford and sons concert in Calgary and Jack Garratt opened for them, they said he's got an album on the way
+Chris Johnson His performance at Glastonbury this year was beautiful. Fucking passion coming out of every orifice. T for talent.
This aged so well ❤
This song got me through the simultaneous deaths of both of my best friends from childhood. It still does. They'll remain forever young in my heart till the day I join them
did something similar for me weirdly 2 of my closest friends ever. one hung himself, the other died of a heart attack in august 2019 because he had a coke problem, ill never forget any of my friends that have passed, im probably next
same for me, lost my little sister and brother and this was one of the songs for me, I liked the beat like a heartbeat, great song ❤
I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. Both my parents are gone and it's just me and my big brother now. This has been our song since it came out.

Just found out about this guy tonight because of Tevor Noah and the daily show. So glad I tuned in, this guy is the real deal!
same, dude
Good stuff boys...Theres plenty more goodness here too
This guy opened a brand new curtain of music for me. Fresh and new, raw and humbling.
Unbelieveable. Been a very long time since I've fallen in love with an artist at the sound of one song.
Listening to this song after like 4 years. I still remember the first time when I heard it. I was getting ready for school and saw it on TV.

Agree! Another great video with similar message:
Mumford & Sons - Lover Of The Light ruclips.net/video/nMJUbZrNnA8/видео.html
When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
Like I did when youth stayed, youth stayed
'Til the second round
When I grow old, the sun will coat
Shine on every youth stain, youth stain
Never settling down
And no wonder I keep you close
You're the water to quench my throat
And if I never let you go
Will you keep me young
Keep me young
When I grow old, my weathered soul
And memories recluse, elusive
Help me take them out
So keep me young and call my bluffs
And help me out when you say, you say
There's no room for doubt
Say I'm stronger and keep me close
And be the water and test my cold
And if I never let you go
Will you keep me young
Keep me young
Oh, when my heart stops beating
And my blood turns cold
And oh, when my heart stops beating
And my breath won't flow
And oh, when my heart stops beating
When you go, oh no, I know
Oh, when my heart stops beating
And my blood turns cold
And oh, when my heart stops beating
And my breath won't flow
And oh, when my heart stops beating
When you go, I'll know I'm...
When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
But just as long as you stay, you stay
I found a way out
coat not cope (4th line)
I always like to think it's "when you go I'll know i'm old"
He is absolutely unreal live. If you ever get the chance to see him, do it. You will not regret it.
It's been 7 years... turning 25 this year makes me feel weathered for sure
Man I can't get enough of that deep bass line and clean guitar intro....then those meaningfull lyrics...that raspy guitar bursting on to the scene at 1:41...those percussion pauses...aah fuck it everything about this track is just epic!
this guy is 1 of the most talented musicians ive ever experienced because listening to this man is an experience. never gets old
i love this song!! it's one of those songs that makes me have visions of memories that never happened of a time and place i've never even lived in. ^.^
... lmao
Maybe we have in a previous life.. ✌🏻
That’s so true
Maybe u have.
Weathered and Worry definitely best songs on the album
+Ollie Brown totally agree!
IF THIS DOESNT GET YOU ALL IN YOUR FEELS YOU HAVE NO SOUL
this guy is fire, His voice as such clarity, range and control, but then he also has power and ferocity. Top quality ear candy
Here you are..ready to take the plunge, making that big decision that will change your life probably forever. You have met your girlfriend's parents several times but this is different.

If you just made this up, it's cool, js you should make short movies, it's cool ;)
..and if not hope you find what your looking for :)
Are you a wizard? You just described my situation and it really sucks
+Rafael van der Hoeven Me too brother hope it works out in the best possible way for you!

F Trost that's what i said
Oh sorry I thought you said their was nothing likeable about it!
this song made me cry
it's very nostalgia inducing and also when he was burying the rat it reminded me that i'm still grieving over my ratm nimh, who recently died
so thanks jack
So happy Jack Garratt finally gets more attention. When I first saw him life as an opening act (I had never heard of him before) my jaw actually dropped. He's so creative and seriously talented.

When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
Like I did when youth stayed, youth stayed
Till the second round
when I grow old the sun will cope
shining on every youth stain, youth stain
Never settling down
Chorus
And no wonder, I keep you close
Your the water to quench my throat
And if I never let you go
Will you keep me young
Keep me young
When I grow old my weathered soul
And memories reclusive, elusive
Help me take them out
So keep me young and call my bluffs
And help me out when you say, you say
There's no rules foretold
Say I'm stronger and keep me close
And be the water and test my cold
And if I never let you go
Will you keep me young, keep me young
Oh when my heart stops beating
And my blood turns cold
And oh when my heart stops beating
And my breath won't flow
And oh when my heart stops beating
When you go oh no I
Oh when my heart stops beating
And my blood turns cold
And oh when my heart stops beating
And my breath won't flow
And oh when my heart stops beating
When you go oh no I
When I grow old I'll drink and smoke
But just as long as you stay, you stay
I found a way out
“And if I never let you go, will you keep me young?” My God that line just gives me so many emotions getting older is so bitter sweet all we have are the memories not wanting to fade away
the piano riff from 'Water' made my heart soar
this video got me😭 what they did with the aspect ratios and the two styles was so lovely! kudos to the production man. also the lighting fuckin rocked
Still the best ,no idea why. . .reminds me of everything !
So proud I can say I've seen Jack Garratt and Mumford and sons in one night!
I'm so happy to see Jack Garratt getting big! I went to go see him at the Samsung Studio Live last year and he was somehow better live! I recently heard his song Worry playing on the radio at where I work and it was the highlight of my week. I'm going to go see him soon at the San Diego House of Blues and honestly cannot hold my excitement.

This song reminds me of when I lived in the country side when I was a kid in the summer wish I could go back
This gave me goose bumps for some reason. Damn you Jack Garratt!
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to this song, I still get chills every time.
Oh this makes me weepy thinking of my siblings and how they make me feel like a kid forever when I'm with them even though I'm in my late thirties. Just beautiful beautiful song writing. Lovely film clip too.

The first song I ever heard by Jack Garrett and I still LOVE it and listen to it at least once a day!
CLEARLY THE MOST UNDERRATED SONG IN THE WORLD
this song hits me in a way i never thought was possible. breathtaking song writing.

Big things are to come to you Jack Garratt.
I remember seeing him perform the most incredible set at Bushstock Festival 2014 in a church, so many vibes!!!! Tried to buy him a pint at the after party and my card got declined, so he kindly bought us both one. Top fella!
I remember him playing this live acoustic , Jesus, I was crying my eyes out. This guys definitely needs to blow up already !
spotify always suggests me the best music. so in love, its crazy.
Hype to see Jack at Mumford and Sons
I‘ve been listening to it for almost 3 years now and still didnt get enough...incredible artist.
A song hasn't made me cry in a long time. Awesome Jack.
Watching this makes me fragile. So much is said in the imageries and lyrics.
This song deserves way more views. It’s near perfect
Near? Imho it IS perfect. Perfect music. Outstanding.
I still love this
Oh Jack! You are such a wonderful and creative singer. My favorite song is Water, it's so powerful in so many ways! You're getting better and better.
I'm waiting for you to come to Portugal. Love you!
Walked out to this song on my wedding day, and could barely keep it together . . . I tie it so closely to big, beautiful turning points in my life now. Thanks, Jack.
Woooooow! This guy is gold!! Rising star!!
Saw him at the Skral festival two days ago, can't believe I hadn't heard if him before! Melts my heart away.
Wow! So happy to find this amazing artist! The feels :)
when i first saw a video of jack performing i was really flashed. Keep on doing that kind of performance, people like you make me happy :)
Le frisson tout le long du morceau... C'est juste la perfection.
Merci pour ce bon moment, surtout un lundi matin après un wwek-end de randonnée
Bises

loved him since the Mumford Concert this past august. So excited for this to come out.
this song is amazing. It's so relatable.
Going to see this live in November with Mumford & Sons, so excited
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better! I have finally regained feeling touched by music. Something that hasn't happened for quite a while now
This guy has such a mellow creative flow...love it❤️️👌🏾
I absolutely love that switch at the beginning of the song. Works so well 👌👌
This was one of the most beautiful music videos i have ever seen
I can't feeling tired to listen this song. It's art.
