This version feels powerful. It makes me want to transcend reality and become an entity of existence. Just be a form of Being, away from our world, in order to achieve solitude from society. I don't know maybe I'm just crazy. I just want relief. I never would think that an arrangement of notes could bring back this feeling.
THANKS SCRUBS!!!! what a lyric! Women will never understand how a man can love!!! this song makes me fly!!! just to be with someone who is out of your league is another level!! thanks 4 posting this!
Watched this when it was first broadcast, sitting up late with a mate when I was 16 years old. Touched me then and touches me now. Still my favourite song.
This song is a true example of expressing your heart and being honest with yourself. Simple chord progressions with a sincere rhythm within his intimate lyrics. Beautiful piece of music.
This song moves me! My mate did it at an open night they have at a local pub and it blew the pub away. All the comments about religion! It's how you perceive the lyrics. If your religious then it's you "praying" for god to watch over, if your not religious it's nothing more than a passing comment. A be safe or go well comment I'm not that religious probably go to midnight mass on Xmas eve that's it but this song is brilliant. By far the best song and all time favorite. If you can play the guita
I first saw Joseph Arthur in Chicago in 1999. I went to a Ben Harper concert and stopped across the street from the theatre for a hot dog before the show. I was chatting with some lads who had went to the show the night before and they were raving about the show when the guy stopped talking and stared at a john lennon like figure walking across the diner. After he walked out the door, the guy told me and his other friends that the guy who just went out was the opening act and to get ready to be amazed. Well, he did put on an amazing show. His albums over the years have been eclectic and interesting, but hearing him play live and to watch him build up his songs as a one man band was captivating. I will never forget him playing mercedes live that night. The audience could not get enough. After the first encore, Ben Harper peaked out on stage and the audience booed for him to let Jo play more. Ben obviously was used to this by that point. Amazing artist, thank you for sharing this video to see him as he was back 18 years ago.
I remember seeing this go out as part of the BBC coverage of Glastonbury at the time I can not believe it’s now been 24 years, where has the time gone… A true timeless song. Thank you
This song is like some kind of magic and it's fun playing and listening over and over again ... This song means a lot which probably no words can express... ...may god's love be with you always...
I'm not religious but I love this song, it's a nice personal song that is about someone grieving a death and I definitely know what it's like going through the pain of losing someone right now with my hero, my grandfather, passing away in June. I know it's been about 6 months since he passed away but it's not really getting easier till I put this on and think of the great times we shared.
Joseph Arthur is one of the greatest songwriters in the music industry. The lyrics are powerful and the melodies are just fantastic. Mixed with his remarkable voice it's a powerful combination that screams with emotions.
This was the first time I ever heard Jo. I've now seen him live 3 times and tracked down his entire back catalogue. Got me well and truly hooked, and this is still the song I come back to. Just beautiful
Gitarre und eine bomben Stimme..mehr braucht es nicht, nach all den Jahren immernoch fetten Respekt für diesen Song !!!!! Ganz großes Kino #MuchoRespekt !!!!!!
Holy cow! Can't believe you guys are all writing your own opinion on how this guy look. He's freeking playing the most beautiful and soulfull piece of acoustic music ever... Wake up people!
in my life, it's the first time that a song touches me, right in the middle of my heart... it's like i have understood everything but don't know what...i am in front of art, it's so beautiful, thanks for the video, this day was a day of Art, of feelings.
ne sono rimaste poche di canzoni cosi dico davvero invita a riflettere e sopratutto e una canzone ke ti avvolge completamente.... mi inchino di fronte a tanta bravura.... complimenti.....
took me to places i had not thought of in a long time. For music that is personal yet universal to me to all. I wish to encourage you to keep searching and shairing it with us. Your gifts are prechious beyond belief.
This was the song chosen for my best friend's funeral two months ago.. his brother chose it well... He was only 22 and was killed by a motorist whilst riding his motorbike.. RIP Kris.. forever in our hearts, love always bro.. we miss you... this songs always for you....
I found that track yesterday when I watched Scrubs and it totally blew me away. This is definitely one of the greatest songs I have ever heard in my entire life.
wow this song just takes me away thinking about a lot of girls I Knew, Loved and Kept my heart beat so hard... thanks JOseph to be able to make me feel!!
This is one of the only videos that I've been able to find with him performing it the way he does on the album. Michael Stipe covered it a few years back and made a few changes to the melody and rhythm that completely change the feel of the song. And so far, Joseph Arthur has been playing it the Michael Stipe way in every live performance since. If anyone knows where to find any other videos of him performing the song before 2005, please let me know.
I remember the first time I heard him: live as an opening act about 5 years ago. Ah-mazing. He's an incredible live performer. See him live if you ever get the chance.
Bravo Joseph Arthur, cet artiste est fabuleux, vraiment fantastique, j'ai tous ses albums, la chanson In the sun est magnifique et bien d'autre encore.
I saw him last night and he did this song right at the front unplugged it was a beautiful moment. I spoke to him after and he is super chilled and down to earth. Great writer.
this basically describes my relationship with my ex, makes me wish i never messed up and still with her, but i know that things dont work out sometime and that you can not only have peace of mind for others but for yourself too and get yourself self back on track before loving others, I find my own way, progress with it to see how much I will find, and take on the rewards and consequences, for I was caught between all she wished for and she needed. Fate and destiny will help love find its way.
i have had this for years on cd, have you ever seen the movie wasted? About the problem in Plano,Tx where so many kids were overdosing, it was in the end of that movie and it predates that. No matter what I think this is a great song.
I didn't know this song before scrubs and damn i wish i had known it before ^^ especially this performance is astonishing. It helps me a lot when I'm sad and depressed, because of the lyrics which can be interpreted in many ways. Furthermore he has an amazing voice :)
He's really brilliant. I met him in when he was in 8th grade and he would show off playing KISS baselines :D By the time he was a HS senior he was a "monster" bass player doing two hand tap stuff and playing out three times a week. A couple years after that something just clicked and he left all that behind and became the Musician he is today. Grats Jo love you man!!
I first heard this song on the alternate ending of the Bourne Identity and fell in love with it. It's so emotional and I never get tired of it. Simply beautiful!
2023 still a great song!!
This is the kind of song that you listen to on and off for years. Completely timeless and powerfull.
Yes, over several years coming back here ❤
Same here
same here, since 2009.
Give my grandma strength, please wake up. We love you
I still listen to this after all this years
this is one of those songs that you can listen to over and over and never get tired of..
Stand tall my friend dont let them take you down keep fighting

12 Years is a long time to still reply to a comment, but tbh. at times like these, it would seem one of the few sane things to want.
Why wasn't this song a major,major hit?,can someone tell me,cos I don't know much about him,this song is amazing I think.
i like ur spirit but disapprove of ur comma issues
Probably because he mentions God
THANKS SCRUBS!!!!

I'm not religious, but this song just gets me every time. I feel like it's about goodwill in times of real turmoil.
Very friendly, to wish someone that Gods love will always be with you. Even if you are an atheist, you should admire the thought. 👍🏻

Hab das Lied glaub ich heute schon zum 1.000 mal gehört und bin immernoch begeistert
took me to places i had not thought of in a long time. For music that is personal yet universal to me to all. I wish to encourage you to keep searching and shairing it with us. Your gifts are prechious beyond belief.
Great tune man, one of Michael Stipe's favorites, this version too. Nice one AngelaBoston

This amazing song touches my soul every time I listen to it. It is simply heart-warming.
it's hard to believe this song is that old..first heard it in the mid 00s. great memories.
I found that track yesterday when I watched Scrubs and it totally blew me away. This is definitely one of the greatest songs I have ever heard in my entire life.
It was first in Saved! the movie before Scrubs and it was placed at a great part of the movie
I love this song! one of my all-time favs!
This is the best live version i've heard. Absolutely amazing, cant believe he was at glastonbury.
He has the CD on there to prevent feedback and general noise disturbing from the pickups inside. Great tune!
Thank you Scrubs
May God's love be with you always.
Such simple but beautiful words.
wow this song just takes me away thinking about a lot of girls I Knew, Loved and Kept my heart beat so hard... thanks JOseph to be able to make me feel!!

I like Peter Gabriel's cover more than I like this.
@@jlinms8721 This version is far more powerful than Peter Gabriel's
@@youtubedick-tators1991 we have different opinions but that's what makes art great!
What a gorgeous song
Was watching Glastonbury highlights on BBC yr 2000 and this came on. Blew me away, still does. Amazing!

Sometimes you come accross a moment that brings back the feeling, brings back the heart to a situation. This song marks so many of those moments
