This release is dedicated to and written for all the people I have never met but have only read about. The innocent people who were out living their lives and one day, without warning, had them taken away from them. People who liked to laugh, dance, and love in the way that we all do, but cant anymore. All those names and faces, all those beautiful strangers...
So here are two songs, "Beautiful Strangers" as well as my cover of Townes Van Zandt's "No Place To Fall" that I have been closing my live show with over the past year. Any purchase of these two songs will go to support the work of Everytown For Gun Safety - an organization I have followed for quite some time. I believe in and support them in their efforts to make the world a safer place. So if you wish - you can donate as little or large as you'd like and I do hope you enjoy the songs. Do it for the kids.
Love and peace,
Kevin Morby

Heard this on a Commercial had to find it glad I did this is beautiful .
Fuck VRBO but they did pick a good song
Same sandwiches here
Me too 😂😂😂
That commercial and this song is gold!
That's crazy that's why I'm here. I love this song ❤️
I just heard this on a commercial and had to hear it again...dope as hell
Same.
Everytown For Gun Safety is nothing more than a vehicle for Bloomberg to promote his personal gun-control agenda. Everytown For Gun Safety's agenda is more than ridding felons of illegal guns. Under the guise of helping towns facing a crime and drug epidemic, Everytown For Gun Safety promotes confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens.
Hella Dope Ken. 100% Lou Reed...

My dear friend just passed from cancer at 40. His third bout with it. His body couldn’t do chemo anymore. I watched this with him before he passed and he loved it. He was the musical director for his church. Thank you for posting this so I could I could share it with him. 💜💜⭐️⭐️
Bless Your Heart! PS My first GF was a Patricia. You're all Lovely!
Send our love to your dead Friend! From Poland.
Ed: Sorry for Your loss. Pardon me please for being a bit facetious here. May Your Friend rest in peace.
God gave us music. He's truly in heaven.
I'm so very sorry for your loss, It's hard to know what to say when someone dies, ( especially anyone young ). I hope your friend is Resting in peace, safe in the arms of Jesus 🙏.
@@ShoJ369 Thank you for your kind words
💛💛
Massive Lou Reed/early Leonard Cohen vibes. And that’s a huge compliment
Great song, beautiful vibe
Yes. I thought a bit Dylanesque.
My hearts in the Highlands
In myself 👍
Jonathon Richmond
Loves me a bit of Lou Reed...✌😎
JJ Cale vibes too
Since 2020 almost every night i play this song to fall asleep my baby. Still works and we still love this song just like day one. Love you Inês ❤
This song is AMAZING! I heard it on the Airbnb ad….BRAVO!!!
Hell yeah
I heard on airbnb also...
I did to that’s the exact reason I wanted to hear this song lol
Same
Same!
LYRICS
If you ever hear that thunder
Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather
Oh, and whether you're gonna get our name is up to him
If you ever hear that crying
In the distance like some siren
Maybe there's a singer
With no ring around their little finger
No love
And If I lose my voice
If I have no choice but to go quiet
Won't you sing for me a melody into the night there
Well, if I die too young, if the wolf he comes
Fee-fi-fo-fum
If I die too young, oh, if the locust come
Well then, run, run, run
Free
If you ever hear that gunshot
You may think 'bout what you do but you don't got
Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock
If you ever hear that sound now
If the door gets kicked in here, they come now
Think of others, be their cover
I am what they're not
Pray for Paris
They can not scare us
Or stop the music
Your sweet voice, child
Why don't you use it?
If I die too young, or the gunmen come, I'm full of love
So release me, every piece of me, up above
(Up above, ooh ooh ooh)
Love my mama and my papa
Love my sister, can't stand the coppers up in their choppers
Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home
Oh, my Lord, come carry me home
I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my Lord
And if I die too young for something I ain't done
Carry my name every day
Oh, I'm sorry
Oh, I'm sorry
Freddie Gray
But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger
Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger
Oh, beautiful stranger
If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered
And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger
And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger
Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
Oh, beautiful stranger
thanks !
@richard weston lol
The most beautiful lyrics!
Thank you for that😊
Thank you beautiful stranger!
I woke up a 2:54am on the east coast and I'm listing to this song. I am obsessed. I just can't stop hearing it
If it takes this long to hear good music just because I heard it on a commercial. My mind is blown
Just found this via advert
Stunned. Hauntingly beautiful.
this song needs to be 3 hours longer.......
Bravo Rob!
So true
I heard it on an advert also and had to find it. Never heard of the artist before but I’m so pleased to have found him and the song!
About a year ago I was having a Late Night Chill vibe in my bedroom after a joint, while Spotify was playing some random songs, and this one started playing. When the lyrics said "take a look in the sky and wonder" i took the advice and started to look to the stars, when a few seconds later a shooting star passed in the sky. It was amazing. The other day i started looking for the song but i never found it again. Today i went out to supermarket and let youtube playing random songs again, and right in the moment i came back home this song was playing, and i knew it was familiar. Replayed the song to find something about looking to the sky and yeah, this was the song.
i'll never let this song again!!
that is amazing
Hey, try out "we killed the moonlight" by still corners
@@luchianno thanks man! new music is always welcome
@@luchianno and try " the trip" by still corners
serendipity at its best.
This song just brings peace to the soul. ✌🏼
Shut up
I heard it on the commercial, and it rang like a bell in my soul. I’m not a child of resistance, but I love the tone of protest, and I hear it here, in every word.
Perfectly said ❤️
Only just started running it in the UK London area.
Absolutely beautiful beyond belief.
I was so happy to hear this on TV! It's a great song and I feel like the media is finally picking up on and giving more credit to less mainstream music, touche.
They’re only acknowledging it because it mentioned hating cops and praising Freddy Gray
I agree 👍 💯 🙆♂️ 👏 👌 🙌
..........
Taking ques from Tarrentino and others
@@MistsOfRaine Cops are psychopaths, weird to be defending them .
This will be seen by very few - Please understand that this is a protest song where all the proceeds were donated to Everytown For Gun Safety. It's a song against gun violence. When he says pray for Paris - He is referring to the mass shooting in Paris. When he speaks of 49 dead - He is referring to the gay nightclub mass shooting in Orlando. When he speaks of Freddie Gray - He is referring to what cops joke about giving a 'suspect' a rough ride where he is handcuffed, put in the back of a van unsecured and driven around recklessly stopping and speeding up to make it a nightmare for the man in the back. Freddie Gray died after his ride from a spinal injury. All 6 officers were never convicted of anything.
It's an awesome, stunning spiritual song. Just make sure you understand what it is saying to you.
I listen to this everyday. I am so happy to have found it. His voice reminds me of a young Bob Dylan. We love the commercial one too. A masterpiece.🌹🌹
Yessss. My thoughts exactly. His voice the haunting lyrics. Bob Dylan for sure.
Yep, defo Bob Dylan, my thoughts exactly 👌👍👏✝️
Remind me of Bob Dylan as well . Found this on a commercial and had to find it.
@@brideys5862 me too! I loved it as soon as I heard it. I searched until I found it. Great song.♥️
Also Leonard Cohen❤
Whoever paired the commercial with this song is genius! At 66 years young I can’t get enough of this Kevin Morby! Originally used in movie El Topo! We are all Beautiful Strangers! More alike than not! 💕
Nothing like El Topo.
@@michaelpreble5062 no! Lol! Just shows music can be interpreted many ways!
a beautiful stranger reading this right now,i hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow
This is one of the most exquisite pieces of music I have ever heard in my life!
This guy reminds me of the soulful singing from the artist Donovan from the 60's who sang "Season of the Witch.". ❤️
I see that. It also reminds me a bit of Jack Johnson, but with more soul.
Just about every time I listen to this song I swell up with tears because of how beautiful it is and it's definitely one of the songs I've listened to the most consistently this year. The writing
One of my favorite songs from all songs of the world 🖤
This vibe! This song! Beautiful! 🤍🤍🤍
I drove my wife yesterday to maternity ward with this song on. We were scared, since contractions haven't started yet, but the amniotic fluid was going low. This song gave us comfort that everything will be OK. Today I am waiting for good news.
Well.. we need an update!
I just asked my best friend who I plan on getting married to to let me have this song played at our wedding in the spring because I want to dance with her to this song as we were once beautiful strangers but now we're going to be a beautiful happy couple together!!!
Congratulations! Wonderful song for your wedding.
@@lisaeischens2352 thank you so much for giving me such a kind response. Im very grateful for all of the wonderful people that I meet everyday whether it's here online like yourself or in person. From me to you and yourself have youia very happy Valentine's day and also may your day be beautiful and blessed. ✌️
So sweet 🤗🌹👌❤️
This was our exit song from the ceremony. Everyone loved it. Good pick and hopefully she agrees
I may need some intervention here. Honestly I can’t stop listening to this song. I JUST! LOVE! It!!
A tear, a heartbeat and a thanks man!
I love this song as well as the tv commercial. I had to hear it in it's full entirely. It is so beautiful. BEAUTIFUL STRANGER!
my brother loved this song, he showed me this. Every-time I listen to this song I can’t hold back tears because, my brother and his service dog faith were struck by a car while walking Saturday morning. 12/12/1996 - 3/19/2022 I love you so much kory.
I’m so so sorry for your loss.
I am sure your brother is right near you when you listen to this beautiful song.
You’re in my prayers.
God bless 🙏🏻
I'm so very sorry for your loss, May your brother Kory R.I.P, safe in the arms of Jesus 🙏
❤
Not true.
This songs got the flow of a 60s folk song. Protesting the war or something. Its a nice change of pace vs anything else on the radio
I loved this song right away. I had to look it up and find the entire version. Beautiful song. 👏👏
By far the best songs I've ever heard. It relaxes the mind and soul!
Can’t explain why this touches me so deeply.
That same thought has been puzzling me to no end as well.
It's so thought provoking but simple and easy to understand. It's calming to the ears and soul. Thanks Kevin Morby.
Oh my god! Oh my god! Me too me too! Seems ALOT of us have great taste, we’re ALL BEAUTIFUL STRANGERS!!⭐️⭐️✨✨💋💋
Heard on a commercial and had to look for it; I love this.
Just heard this on TV and it is perfection! Feeling Mazzy Star vibes with soul soothing lyrics and voice. The strat playing is OUTSTANDING!!❤❤
Magnifique tempo, voix caressante, superbe ! Beautiful song !
Le son d'un cheval qui trotte...Ça détend...J'adore
C'est top 👍😊🥰
Ça change de la soupe qu'on nous sert en radio !!
Encore une magnifique découverte grâce à la pub !
It's so good to see Kevin make it into the mainstream. He has been in LA playing for sometime.
"If I die too young, let all that i've done be remembered"
😊
Love! LOVE! FABULOUSY BEAUTIFUL! I can't stop playing it!
I just saw the commercial and like the song. It's beautiful 🎵
Isn't it weird that AirBnB uses a song about cops shooting black men for its cheerful little ad?
@@gyorgyivoros6709 It's actually about gun violence in general
I like most of us here heard this on an ad. So glad I found him, very talented and clever songwriter, and a lovely soul I suspect.
I am an instant fan!
I love this song. Forever puts a smile on my face 💕😊
Ain't nothing like old time music ❤️
An *AirBnB* commercial brought me here.
Me too
Discovered this artist and song last night, and came back.
This 35 year old kid has encapsulated the Velvet Underground sound so much, that I'm starting to think there's reincarnation I'm music.
It's amazing. I'm a huge fan already and cann9t wait to catch one of his concerts live.
Absolutely beautiful song. I listen to this at least once a day. Wish i could play it on the old Victrola for the days we lose power. Wish you would make more songs with this spiritual touching. Love the " look above the weather.... it's up to you". wow that is powerful. So glad the airbnb used this song in their beautiful commercial. People aren't so strange.
Love this song 🎵 my favourite song of 2022. Absolutely amazing 👏
Best song to go mainstream in years! Love it! ❣️
The one time I didn’t skip a RUclips ad just to hear this song & now I found it. Catchy asl😌
It's just a song, but I'm sure it will stay with me for the rest of my life. It does me a world of good. Thank you so much! Unable to explain it, there's a "je ne sais quoi"...
Why the hell did I have to learn about this from an AirBNB commercial?
Lucky you bro better than anything.. I discovered him several years ago I dont remember how...
Absolutely love this song 💗 was so happy to hear it in a commercial ☺️
Sometimes when me and my friends go camping and fishing we just look at the fire and the stars and listen to this song
Love this song, playing on repeat 🙏
Wow this guy rocks the beat and words are magic and that voice I would die for sounds like bob Dylan fantastic music wow guys what can we say
I so thought it was Bob Dylan too
@@michellelaugie5345 thanks for your comment it does sound so much like Bob Dylan it's a great song .
I lost the light of my life in 2022. All the color in my world is gone. This song makes me smile when i think about her. Such a beautifully melancholy song.
So beautiful music. God give the next generation the ability to hear them/ us and all music as of such
Thanks to the commercial I now have a new song love it ❤️❤️❤️
Just heard this for the first time and I was entranced by it. A song to be listened with friends and loved ones for sure❤
I cannot get this song out of my head… 💛❤️🖤
Me either
Take the phone outta ur hand 🤔
Me too. Killer opening line and an infectious groove.
thank Airbnb for this. It's sooo beautifull song !
This was played at my best friends son’s funeral 😢it’s now one of my faves as it reminds me of him…RIP Jacob
I love this song because of its poetic layers. The music is jive, the lyrics are a prayer.
Me too,heard it in commercial and looked it up. Great song!!
I heard it on a commercial as well, I have been looking for it ever since. This song makes the commercial so beautiful.
LOVE! This song makes me happy! 😍
I just heard this on a super fun commercial. It's captivating!
What fantastic lyrics and music,the mans a genius.
Soothing voice and great lyrics. Very enjoyable song especially in today's world
This reminds me of Leonard Cohen, great song
This is the first lyric song ever, where my entire bonemarrow and gutfeeling yells to my autistic soul and personality that follows, that this is 100% the unique track thats gonna play on repeat on my funeral.
Much love Kevin Morby, youve got a genuin Touch for your wonderful talent of yours.
Imagine Kevin if you could take on the feeling that occurs inside of my stimulerad brain and Body, and all thanks to you.
It's unique, and the thing that i relate mostly to, is that i love meeting all sort and forms of Beutiful Strangers. I never back a way from a chat with the "Beutiful Strangers" that crosses my state of flow and path, you Will Grow from it, face your fears and talk to a Stranger.
From the deepest of my spul
Much love to all of you our There.
Huggs and huggs, love Nickos 😍❤
Got introduced to this tune a few years ago by a Greek lady in a little cottage in Ireland. She had to go home during covid and I left the cottage too. This tune brings me back to that perfect blissful era of my life every single time I hear it. Pure magic. Kevin is actually in Ireland right now as I type this, he just played in the Academy Dublin a couple hours ago. I couldn't make it but I had to come here and have another listen. Back to Cloney cottage with Αλεχάντρα, my beautiful stranger 🙏😇❤️
My 4 yr old stops whatever she's doing and takes this in, every time this comes on the tv(air BNB commercial). Great tune
Love this,a mellow tune 👍
If 2022 could be a song 🎵 please be this one! Nothing but ✌ & ❤
I’m here thanks to the Air bnb advert. Lovely relaxing track ❤
Love love love this song. Heard it on the airbnb commercial - everytime that commercial comes on I have to stop to watch & listen - then I noticed the album the 'stranger' in the commercial picked out to play so decided to try to find it... here it is! Just wonderful! Thanks Kevin Morby and Airbnb!
What a wonderful song! It runs through my head constantly. I've even bookmarked the airbnb commercial, and sent it to my friends and relatives. Kevin's voice is awesome, very Dylanesque. SO SPECIAL!
Dedicate this song to a girl, who I miss dearly. She taught me about free love and loving yourself without a question. We met in Edinburgh, if you ever read this comment. Know I miss you
@@MultiSpazzo I kinda expected a more wholesome comment hahahaha.... Stil, @Art Vandelay I feel you bro. Keep your heart pure, man. You'll meet someone.
@@MultiSpazzo fuck sake man haha.
@@aguilacoors no, sorry
@@MultiSpazzo yah i did too
Go text her you dummy! stop hopin', all successful ppl didn't become so by hoping. She sounds so lovely, How could you just sit here whining and not stay connected with her!?!?
This tune has made me enjoy watching TV commercials... Let's keep it on repeat...👍
I had to search for it after seeing the add - at first I thought it was Bob D but this is fantastic I love it!
Thank you beautiful stranger❤
Good stuff. I'm getting a Lou Reed vibe from it.
I wasn't paying attention and it automatically came on and I was thinking, "I don't remember this Lou tune, but it's good..." then looked at the computer. Glad I'm not the only one. Peace.
In T.O. last Friday he played this. Then his encore was "Oh Sweet Nuthin".
It's the chug in this song. Listen to "What Goes On" by V.U. That's the rhythm.
Ryan Bishop i thought the same! and a little Cohen in there too ;)
I'm hearing Rodriguez and Bob Dylan and Lou Reed Cool luv it
@@lizcounsel8116 100% Rodriguez! The torch has been passed :)
Heard this on a Air bnb commercial. Makes me want to travel on a gentle warm sunny day to a childhood camping site I haven’t been to in years..
Love this I have Terminal Cancer it's classed as a life time condition, But can b controlled with treatment. I dont how long but my partner knows this is the song I want to carry. It's beautiful. It speaks to My soul somehow. I write poetry and song lyrics (it pays treats etc I'm not making millions) but who's written this blows anything I even dream out of the ball part .
It's sounds so simple but the song writers ability phenomenal.
Thank you for the like .
If you ever hear that thunder
Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder

Or stop the music
Your sweet voice, child
Why don't you use it?
If I die too young, or the gunmen come, I'm full of love
So release me, every piece of me, up above
(Up above, ooh ooh ooh)
Love my mama and my papa
Love my sister, can't stand the coppers up in their choppers
Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home
Oh, my Lord, come carry me home
I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my Lord
And if I die too young for something I ain't done
Carry my name every day
Oh, I'm sorry
Oh, I'm sorry
Freddie Gray
But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger
Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger
Oh, beautiful stranger
If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered
And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger
And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger
Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger
Oh, beautiful stranger
The first time I heard this song I was on LSD and the experience I had was filled with love and pure joy. His voice and words are so soothing and tells me it's all going to be okay (:
Beautiful man!
Agreed ! 😎🤯🤪
me too, i just stood there in the hammock in my apartment completely overwhelmed by joy and bliss. this shit is just too good.
definitely an amazing acid song! the kind that fills you with emotion and pure love.
Hate lyrics when I'm tripping. Language is an anchor for me
You know how in most songs, even your favourite ones, there’s usually something you like less than the rest? Be it a key change, weird bridge, a lyric that’s slightly jarring etc? There’s not a single aspect of this song that I don’t absolutely love 🤯
I’ve never heard of this song until I heard it in a commercial and I’m OBSESSED WITH IT
The feeling you get when you know you've found something really good on RUclips after streaming for hours.
this is where algorithms work in our favour... finding great art, not tearing us aprat
youtube randomly brought me here, why I don't know as was listening to old school reggae! I love it when a plan come together 👍🏼
I have left my house at work today so I will get in there tomorrow morning to work and get back in touch and let me know what works best to keep it in the class for the first day of the week if we need it thank everyone again love love miss like thank everyone llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllpplpp ppl
When my Wife and I moved into this house 35 yes ago,I was a young man.Id do maintenance for my elderly neighbors,payment was usually in the form of canned green beans or peaches or whatever was in season..They have all passed on and now I'm the old and I know none of them...Today,because of this song "Beautiful Strangers" I will make it a point to seek out a handshake and maybe a hug..They need it..Maybe I need it ...
I met a beautiful stranger 30 years ago still going strong ❤❤❤
Transcendental and very reminiscent of Lou Reed, the Velvets and Thurston Moore. I can hear them all here.
