I wonder how it feels like when everything you create is pure gold. "What you choose to believe in dictates your rise or your fall." I choose to believe you are a genius, sir.
"What you choose to believe in dictates your rise or your fall" - more powerful words have never been sung. Rings more true today than in the Junip decade.
This song got me through the hardest year of my life when it was first released back in 2013. I would listen to it whenever things started to feel like too much, on my way to work in the morning, and at night when I had too much time to dwell on the direction my life was going. It was one of the only things I could do back then to feel better. When I heard this new version this weekend, it took me back 8 years. I thought long and hard about how life has been since that time. The world is maybe not in a better place, but I did survive that hard year, and I'm surviving now. That thought just made me love this song more. Thank you, José .
Jose Gonzalez saved my life. When I solo sailed across the Atlantic I didn't look at the crest of a single wave because otherwise I would have gone blind and been lost at see. Thank you Jose.
Perfect song. Coming up on 20 years since mom passed, this song does more than any therapist ever has. Still kinda a mess, but this song help pull me from the edge or "backed up against the wall."
In my first play trough of the album I wasn’t paying too much attention to all the details. As soon as the chords of this one started, I began to hum the Line Of Fire melody. And for some reason I was shocked when José actually started singing the song. It took some time for my brain to comprehend what had happened haha So happy he released this rendition with Junip‘s being one of my favourite songs.
I'm facing a lot of difficulties in my life nowdays. I have no words to describe my feeling when I'm hearing Mr. Gonzalez's songs. It's pure, clear, explicit of my own experiences. I'm not just in love, I'm grateful for those songs. Thank you so much Mister Gonzalez.
Convince yourself To be someone else And hold back from the world Your lack of confidence What you choose to believe in Dictates your rise or fall Dictates your rise or your fall Brilliant 👏 😔❤
I recently found out that my mother has last degree leukemia, today while I was listening to this beautiful album I was meditating and crying seeing myself hugging myself with great force.
Being a filmmaker, this has notes of a partly sad ending with a bright light somewhere, just not present anymore in a situation or to some people. A feeling of hopeless disconnect and separation from something once beautiful turned into tragedy... I want to put this in the ending of one of my films. It's so fitting to what I'm portraying. Maybe one day :') I love finding great talent out there!! Truly emotive.
I've adopted this song as the summary of my life so far... Me and my girlfriend learned on the guitar and we created a great atmosphere around us... But soon would I learned that I needed to control my emotions... Since those days, I sing this song to find autocontrol on myself... Thank you José Gonzalez for this song...
I have listened to this song so many times on repeat. This & Your Life Your Call. There was a period where I was going through so much heaviness, depression, instability- I was in a very abusive & unstable relationship, but kept thinking it was my fault, & kept trying to be better, good enough etc... for this person. It was a really sad period & relationship, that I am glad to say I am out of now- I stepped back from that line of fire.
wow, line of fire and your life your call are also my two favourite songs. Line of fire has a very personal meaning to me, and I listened to it a lot when I was going through a dark time in my life. I'm glad to hear it brought you some comfort, too. It's good to hear that sad period of your life has come to a close.
Between Junip's chaotic, fast tempo original version, to this slow, eclectic, almost reflective cover, I am very satisfied with both pieces of music, only wish this version was slightly longer. Great work Jose!

escuchar tu voz y el sonido de la guitarra es tan bello y natural como sentarse a escuchar la lluvia caer sobre la tierra, una mezcla muy introspectiva. Sólo decir gracias!! un gran abrazo desde Chile :)
¿Qué harías si todo vuelve a ti? ¿Qué dirías si tuvieras que irte hoy? Somos seres brillantes y cambiantes, donde lo único que prevalece es nuestra conciencia y el amor. Eso es a quién y qué dejas. Lo que elijas creer dicta tu ascenso o caída. Si estás contra la pared, elije ser otra persona, alguien que viva por el amor, con altos y bajos. Deja el drama y el protagonismo, retiene tus emociones y deseos para ver y escucharlo todo, sin juzgar. Aléjate de la línea de fuego 💝.
Incredible surprise here. Love Jose so much. Thinking back to his Friday afternoon set at Bonnaroo, 06/13/08, With a huge spliff after a long day/night the Thursday prior, listening to Jose playing In Our Nature and Veneer material on a beautiful sunny day. Times weren’t perfect then, either, but they were certainly better than now in many ways. Much love from Kentucky.
Thanks for this clean and bare version... Still an amazing song!! Your songs are like diamonds that become more beautiful as time wears on in this journey of life... Thank you Jose Gonzalez!
IF MY FAMILY only knew the meaning of this song.... listened to this song things would be different... I guess the destiny puts every stone in its place...

About be humble🙌🏻
Beautiful songwriting haunting lyrics - Loved it !!
I wonder how it feels like when everything you create is pure gold. "What you choose to believe in dictates your rise or your fall." I choose to believe you are a genius, sir.
This lyric is particularly genius and wonderful.
...One of the most beautiful comments I've ever read.
The sound of cool
You know this is a cover, right? Original is from a band called Junip
@@kazimir6286 Yea but Junip is José González with Tobias Winterkorn

Here's to your continued existence, Jessica!
The world will get better, and the years will start rolling by again much easier...
Very relatable! I love this song so much and it always puts me through tough times too.

We all have one of those songs that did it to us. The one we played over and over and over……..
Jose Gonzalez saved my life. When I solo sailed across the Atlantic I didn't look at the crest of a single wave because otherwise I would have gone blind and been lost at see.
Thank you Jose.
"Its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
When a song completely makes me go quiet, I know it's really good.

Convince yourself
To be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or fall
Dictates your rise or your fall
Brilliant 👏 😔❤
It's mesmerizing how much more immediately personal this becomes compared to the Junip version. All love.
José is amazing! I can't wait for him to visit Portugal again ♥️
The new album is absolutely incredible, I am very happy his life is going well.
Wow, I didn't realise this song was on the album. It's my favourite Junip song

Just had an ad for this, had to find it. Beautiful singing.
Poetry. Beautiful. Captures an essence of life.
So many emotions. I cannot describe, just feel.
Beautiful ...
Eternamente apaixonada. Que eu ainda tenha a oportunidade de ir a um show seu. Obrigada!
Love you José! You inspired me to pick up the guitar and now I'm a guitar teacher! Thanks for making my life better through your music!
Amo demais!!!
Compõe as trilhas da minha vida...encaixa-se em cada momento vivido...José González magia pura...
Such powerful words.
Spiritual.
J'adore! Très jolies mélodies.
I recently found out that my mother has last degree leukemia, today while I was listening to this beautiful album I was meditating and crying seeing myself hugging myself with great force.
You are ready for this, you can be the strength she is going to need. Wish both of you the best.

Makes me want to go out for a late night walk in the park for some reason
well go for that walk, then!
Que lindo escuchar tu musica! Arrancar el dia con esto es maravilloso! Gracias!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This song saved my life countless times. I still go back to it whenever the ground beneath me shrinks.

this song was deeply meaningful and important to me when it came out. I'm glad you're still here with us. :)
A full moon and life time of memories. Thank you.

This is one of my favorite songs Junip made, nice to hear it covered in his solo career.
This makes my heart feel so happy. I love the original but this makes me gets goosebumps all over.
Gracias!
José González é o cara!
