Love this... he is my inspiration to learn guitar. That Guild is the guitar he travels with and uses to write songs. He's cool... looking forward to the new album.
Well since it's on the album... And there was a clip of people playing strings... There is basically a 100% chance that there will be some kind of arrangement with strings in it.
Josh Homme himself, about 12 feet away, playing a new song, and the fucking room can't even put their gibber on hold for 5 minutes. Where's he playing? A goddamned steakhouse?
I already loved the lyrics, I think they're even better now. Not sure if I prefer the way he strikes the chords though in the verse. And I'm not sure I like the end.
There are times when I find Josh getting a little snotty with rock bro vibes and antics and then I hear some song come out of his mouth that melts my damn heart... I guess I love it
Verse 1] I miss you now, oh woe is me We're hostages of geography I gotta wait this long, I'm happy to Despite what you're accustomed to I know life moves on, that's what scares me so I'm not afraid of letting go Only us, only us No one in the world _______ something, _______sky ______ is sweet, open my eyes [Pre-Chorus] I sing only for you To the beat of my footsteps in the night [Chorus] So close your eyes And dream me home Forever mine, I'll be forever yours Always, evermore, and on and on Always, evermore, and on and on Always, evermore, and on and on Always evermore [Bridge] To the beat of my footsteps in the night [Verse 2] No magic bullet, no cure for pain What's done is done 'till you do it again Well life in pursuit of an aimless prey I've been so close, I'm so far away It's so hard to explain, and easy to feel I need you now, nothing is real Save me from the villains of a circumstance Before I lose my place [Chorus] So close your eyes And dream me home Forever mine, I'll be forever yours I'll be forever yours, I'll be forever yours Always, evermore, and on and on Always, evermore, and on and on Always, evermore, and on and on Always evermore
Callum Wallace well considering when he wrote Vampyre of Time and Memory he was seriously considering quitting music, he thought no one would listen to it because of all the shit he went though, Brodie encouraged him to keep going and while I'm sure they miss each other when they're on the road I'm happy that she encouraged him to keep going. I think he lost a lot of friends in recovery as well (fair weather friends) but you can totally tell he's changed a lot since 2012/2013
I realize this is a super random comment but if you're a big game of thrones fan: I was working through the chords on the verse and randomly found that the lyrics of 'the rains of castamere' work really well with pretty much the same chord progression and meter.
On the original record, the bass at the beginning of the song Villains of Circumstance so similar to the beginning of Lou Reed's - Walk On The Wild Side
I think Stella Artois should hire Josh as the next most interesting man in the world..."I don't always start a song three times in a row, but when I do..."
Yeah I remember when he first played this back in '14 and the version on Villains sounds nothing like how I imagined. I do find it neat how different it turned out though.
Hard to pick, but my three favorite moments from last night: Spinning in the Daffodils EoDM covering Moonage Daydream Petra's voice on The Stations What were everyone else's?
Don't know if he's just jamming with the lyrics or did he change it, but it makes the song a suprise. And im wondering how's it gonna sound the next time I find a new recording of it on RUclips, or even better - hear it live. ;)
you know how i know the surveillence started in iowa city i was at a bar with a girl and got into it with a guy jesse and then saw him at the burlington ymca when i moved back then sportsworx and he signed his name jesus on the log before me when i saw him there and i showed colter and asked him what it said and he said jesus not jesse
+Annan Hildebrand well, there's two types of people: the type of people who like Josh and everything he makes, and then there's the people who hate him for not play in stoner like everyone else... I wasn't sure either.
thats what im talking about do you know how long its been since ive gotten a fuck jerry or 9 gag post on fb til now i havent seen them for a while what happened today because that means they didnt tell you the whole story and if thats the case depending on how much you do know theres a lot to tell
A big part of me hopes he gets this finalized with QOTSA and released as an actual song. It's so good I'd hate to see it never get officially released.
LYRICS AS HEARD IN THIS VIDEO - Please thumb this up for other people who wanna sing along.
Villains of Circumstance - :
I miss you now, oh woe is me
We're hostages of geography
Gotta wait this long, I'm happy to
Despite what you're accustomed to
I know life moves on, that's what scares me so
I'm not afraid of letting go
Only us, only us
No one in the world
I better do something, move earth and sky
And patiently, sweetly, open my eyes
---
I sing only for you
To the beat of my footsteps in the night
--
Close your eyes
And dream me home
Forever mine, I'll be forever yours
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always evermore...
-
To the beat of my footsteps in the night...
---
There's no magic bullet, no cure for pain
What's done is done, 'till you do it again
Well life in pursuit of an aimless prey
I've been so close, I'm so far away
It's so hard to explain, so easy to feel
I need you now, nothing is real!
Save me from the villains of a circumstance!
Before I lose my place...
--
And close your eyes
And dream me home
Forever mine, I'll be forever yours
I'll be forever yours, I'll be forever yours
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always evermore!
Burst Affinity Damn I sorta like the old version better but still a badass song
Burst Affinity .."awsome"
+The Legend yeah definitely prefer the original but its still amazing
this version:
I miss you now more than yesterday I hope somewhere you feel the same Holding hands & a fleeting glance The villains of a circumstance I got a hole in my pocket where I lose my mind The ocean waves, like an endless goodbye I sing only for you 'Till the beat of my footsteps arrive So close your eyes And dream me home Forever mine, I'll be forever yours Always, evermore, and on and on Always, evermore, and on and on Always evermore 'Till the beat of my footsteps arrive Only us, no one in the world Only us, only us, no one in the world No magic bullet, no cure for pain You want what's done, you better do it again Hole in my pocket where I lose my mind It's easy to see, and hard to find It's so hard to explain, and easy to feel I need you now, nothing is real Save me from the villains of a circumstance Before I make a mistake So close your eyes And dream me home Forever mine, I'll be forever yours Always, evermore, and on and on Always, evermore, and on and on Always, evermore, and on and on Always evermore
Love love
Hes the fuckin coolest guy in the universe
Wildzy1st no he's not
Chuck Government officials oh he is
Adam Greenwood no he's a turkey
Love this... he is my inspiration to learn guitar. That Guild is the guitar he travels with and uses to write songs. He's cool... looking forward to the new album.
Agreed, its a damn shame Bruce Lee left us too soon.
"If this sucks, just talk amongst yourselves"
I love you josh
He stole that from Kurt cobain
I hope he arranges this with a full band, I feel like this song needs that to reach its full potential.
Well said. I have visions of greatness. Like the positive comments on RUclips. Sometimes there seem to be so few.
InverseAgonist new album is called "villains", so maybe?
It's on the new album!
Well since it's on the album... And there was a clip of people playing strings... There is basically a 100% chance that there will be some kind of arrangement with strings in it.
InverseAgonist I also saw violins in the promo video for the album and I'm assuming this is the song they'll be on
never realized how much i missed josh's voice. Didn't think i'd be excited about new qotsa material but there's just so much emotion here i love it.
Josh Homme himself, about 12 feet away, playing a new song, and the fucking room can't even put their gibber on hold for 5 minutes. Where's he playing? A goddamned steakhouse?
His falsetto keeps getting better.
Damn. This song gave me feels.
Holy fuck, the feels.
Anyone else here after seeing VoC is on the new album?
MEEE
I am here after their promo video and first single and hoping to hell that this song is on the new album...VERY Clockwork-esque
Yep!
Danny Lopez it is on the new album
+Peefini Love your Era Vulgaris pic!
Confirmed, this song is on Villains, last song of the album.
he really changed the lyrics lol
I already loved the lyrics, I think they're even better now. Not sure if I prefer the way he strikes the chords though in the verse. And I'm not sure I like the end.
Ther is actually 3 versions of the lyrics and the 3 of them are fucking awesome.
The 2nd and final lyrics are almost the same.
There are times when I find Josh getting a little snotty with rock bro vibes and antics and then I hear some song come out of his mouth that melts my damn heart... I guess I love it
Goddamn! I can't wait till the QOTSA record!! :D
THE NEW ALBUM IS FINISHED!!!!!!!!
Don't worry, it will be released soon. They are like clockwork.
Peter Griffin where?? Just the teaser
oh my. I thought this song would get lost. I feel great
Just the best, the best. God, how I love all their albums. Eagles of Death Metal and Them Crooked Vultures too. Anything he touches.
My favourite tune off the new album. His vocals in this song are amazing ✊
I did that fan girl thing and paused and played my way through the lyrics while writing them down. I highly suggest it. It's a mind blowing poem.
Jenna Lin there's any chance that you can give me the lyrics ? I'm not good at English ...
Same, I can only understand some parts of the song as I'm not a native english speaker
Verse 1]
I miss you now, oh woe is me
We're hostages of geography
I gotta wait this long, I'm happy to
Despite what you're accustomed to
I know life moves on, that's what scares me so
I'm not afraid of letting go
Only us, only us
No one in the world
_______ something, _______sky
______ is sweet, open my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I sing only for you
To the beat of my footsteps in the night
[Chorus]
So close your eyes
And dream me home
Forever mine, I'll be forever yours
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always evermore
[Bridge]
To the beat of my footsteps in the night
[Verse 2]
No magic bullet, no cure for pain
What's done is done 'till you do it again
Well life in pursuit of an aimless prey
I've been so close, I'm so far away
It's so hard to explain, and easy to feel
I need you now, nothing is real
Save me from the villains of a circumstance
Before I lose my place
[Chorus]
So close your eyes
And dream me home
Forever mine, I'll be forever yours
I'll be forever yours, I'll be forever yours
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always evermore
Jenna you dont know how much I love you for this ! happy new year !
Jenna Lin wow, awesome!! thanks so much and happy new year!! 😊😀
This gives me goosebumps
you'll crucifix me, but the more the time passes the more it seams Josh has been listening to Thom Yorke.
Claudio Martella honestly I think I remember reading somewhere that he does
Callum Wallace well considering when he wrote Vampyre of Time and Memory he was seriously considering quitting music, he thought no one would listen to it because of all the shit he went though, Brodie encouraged him to keep going and while I'm sure they miss each other when they're on the road I'm happy that she encouraged him to keep going. I think he lost a lot of friends in recovery as well (fair weather friends) but you can totally tell he's changed a lot since 2012/2013
I don't think you could come with much music he hasn't listened to
Claudio Martella nothing wrong with that dude. They're both incredibly talented.
man, this gave me chills. if this is something on the next queens album, count me the fuck in.
jack Harmon you can count me in regardless there fucking amazing. but this is a great song!!!
Me too
jack Harmon It is!!! I'm so excited!! Hopefully this isn't a bad album, it would be their first.
jack Harmon you're in luck
__________ So did you like Villains? I thought it was absolutely amazing.
I'm madly in love with josh merry Christmas. Love love this song beautiful
what a song! genius once again
art is so simple!!!!!!!can`t wait their new album.... this song ..so powerful melody..so calm....so dark!!!!!
How I would've loved a live album to be made out of this performance.
Josh is a cool dude, this tune's melody reminds me of something Cornell might have done.
Beautiful love love!
I realize this is a super random comment but if you're a big game of thrones fan: I was working through the chords on the verse and randomly found that the lyrics of 'the rains of castamere' work really well with pretty much the same chord progression and meter.
Thank you very much!!!!!!
Fuck yeah, can't wait for the new album.
Guys just 25 days till we hear the QOTSA studio version of this and we all die
fuck ok im not the only one that makes a bum note here or there hahaha...fucking great song so don't care how he bloody plays it really..xx
It's ok. QOTSA loves bums and notes equally.
On the original record, the bass at the beginning of the song Villains of Circumstance so similar to the beginning of Lou Reed's - Walk On The Wild Side
Beautiful !
I LOVE It!!!!
He is freaking funny!!!
Thank you!
To beautiful
DIEGO!
BTW... Has anyone found a vid of Spinning in the Daffodils?!?! It was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen!
rennerdesigns "fuck you Diego" haha. I recorded Spinning in Daffodils (except for the last 10 seconds). Check it out!
it sounds more like a comedy sketch than a gig for the first 1 and a half minute
I loved the original lyrics so much but oh well, the new version sounds good too, hopefully the polished version will be amazing!
I think Stella Artois should hire Josh as the next most interesting man in the world..."I don't always start a song three times in a row, but when I do..."
Best song on the new record!
4ever!
Those are different lyrics than when he first performed it.
when he first performed it he said something about coming up with it right before the show
Such misfortune to encounter this song while drinking double G&T's. I love the lyrics.
what an amazing fucking song
I hope there will be a performance on "Conan" or something in High Quality.. Cause this song kicks ass live.. better than on the record..
Yeah I remember when he first played this back in '14 and the version on Villains sounds nothing like how I imagined. I do find it neat how different it turned out though.
can't wait to see you in Minneapolis!!
Love
OMG!
hey! did you filmed him playing Spinning in Daffodils last night?
he played Spinning in Daffodils????? Ok I need to see that asap
Agreed!
started to but then a giant human got right in front of me so i stopped.
FUCKING AMAZING AS ALWAYS!
Christian Kassoff Thanks, great video by any chance do you have the complete performance? Thanks again joe
masterpiece
how early is too early to start crying during this video
its like god damned ear sex
Guild S4CE HG if anyone is wondering.
H.J.W I was wondering and couldn't find it. Thank you.
Hard to pick, but my three favorite moments from last night:
Spinning in the Daffodils
EoDM covering Moonage Daydream
Petra's voice on The Stations
What were everyone else's?
Davey Jo's ear shredding solo on Moonage. Had no idea he was that good.
Why didn't he just tune it?
Dream me home forever
А ті найди того, кто сможет разделить нашу боль и радость..
Burn that flat sounding guild acoustic....Josh kills it
I have this feeling Josh wants to keep this song as an acoustic-concert tune which it really is a shame because the song is wonderful
Damn this is good
Don't know if he's just jamming with the lyrics or did he change it, but it makes the song a suprise. And im wondering how's it gonna sound the next time I find a new recording of it on RUclips, or even better - hear it live. ;)
He is obviously tweeking the lyrics, guess we hear the final version on the next qotsa album ^^
Mirnes Besic Hope so!
hermosa
Does this guy do 50s rock n roll covers or rockabilly?
have done plenty, even on records
Yay, brody and spawn backstage make a cameo lol
oh shit, this is gonna be the last track on the new album!
someone's been livin in my house
What's that little pick he does in between the chords
What did you record this on?
S7 edge
Looks and sounds great, Thanks for posting.
you know how i know the surveillence started in iowa city i was at a bar with a girl and got into it with a guy jesse and then saw him at the burlington ymca when i moved back then sportsworx and he signed his name jesus on the log before me when i saw him there and i showed colter and asked him what it said and he said jesus not jesse
afina esa viola colorado!!
I prefer the original version
this Joshua is fake
+Stereo 6 he's older, he has a new child. he's not fake, he's old
+Bulbo Dix Around I believe this was called sarcasm, but I'm not certain.
+Annan Hildebrand well, there's two types of people: the type of people who like Josh and everything he makes, and then there's the people who hate him for not play in stoner like everyone else... I wasn't sure either.
Bulbo Dix Around You forgot about people who eat bananas. So, three kinds.
and then the guy walking by saying he was a federal agent on the phone at a very suspect time
its a song about Granny Clinton being a total criminal. Awesome!
2:01 piedra libre para Brody!
i need to know the chords on thisss. someone?
thats what im talking about do you know how long its been since ive gotten a fuck jerry or 9 gag post on fb til now i havent seen them for a while what happened today because that means they didnt tell you the whole story and if thats the case depending on how much you do know theres a lot to tell
It's there a recorded version of this anyone?!
you're watching ir
sorry is that your way of saying you don't know!!
i meant a studio version!!..i know theres another version with different lyrics but both are not are not great sound wise!
+Daniel Allan that was my way of telling you that he hasn't released a studio recording
A big part of me hopes he gets this finalized with QOTSA and released as an actual song. It's so good I'd hate to see it never get officially released.
Croon the shit out of it Josh
Gigantic difference between European crowds and American ones, loud and talkative. Ugh.
I despise people who talk during a show like this
Not gonna lie, i like the other lyrics more
Ian Janas what is the other version?
He knows aboit Flat Earth! Hostages of the universe!
Boring ! ... more of the same from him
You are boring.
