Saw Jose Gonzalez live at Green Man last weekend and I now I can't stop thinking about this song. Such a talent, so beautiful. His hands, his voice, his lyrics! Long may you continue to make music for us all.
Jose on the meaning "I knew I wanted to sing about when you get caught in trivialities and you can’t see past your own horizon, and basically how you can make things seem bigger and more difficult than they really are. Almost sentimental, the lyrics …I mean its more of an observation, and also not…Almost like complaining about yourself and how you can get stuck in small things, and how you want to change that."
That build up right before 3:05 that leads into the heavy part gives me freaking chills! Sounds so damn heavy just for a dude playing guitar and tapping his foot. He always has a driving rythem is his songs. I play bass and that's huge for me. He's incredible.
Guitar skills from another galaxy and the voice- oh my! Imagine Jose bedtime stories to his kids! Profound lyrics. Thank you Sony for using his music back in the early 2000s for Sony Bravia TV ads- that's how I stumbled upon most cool music through ad music!
A profound and hauntingly beautiful song about the meaninglessness of life. Puts things into perspective for me... "Who cares in a hundred years from now, Who'll remember all the players, Who'll remember all the clowns.... So what does this really mean, When it all comes down, cycling trivialities..."
Reading the comment and more than few people saying that it’s a sad song.. it doesn’t feel sad to me, it feels to me like an acceptance of the cyclic nature and the patterns we get stuck in and then a fresh look, “so what’s it gonna be?”. I get there are a twinges of sadness in the lyrics, but it doesn’t feel depressing or hopeless to me.
I am very slow to say that something is amazing, but this is surely one of the best things I have heard in my entire life. There are no words to describe something that is out of our dimensions ...
Too blind to know your best Hurrying through the forks without regrets Different now, every step feels like a mile All the lights seem to flash and pass you by So how?s it gonna be When it all comes down, cycling trivialities But don't know which way to turn Every trifle becoming big concerns All this time you were chasing dreams Without knowing what you wanted them to mean So how's it gonna be When it all comes down, cycling trivialities So how's it gonna be When it all comes down, cycling trivialities Who cares in a hundred years from now All your small steps, all your shitty clouds Who cares in a hundred years from now Who'll remember all the players Who'll remember all the clowns So how's it gonna be When it all comes down, cycling trivialities So what does this really mean When it all comes down, cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities

The interesting thing about José is he actually comes from another planet, where they teach children to fingerpick before they're allowed to walk. Also, this is possibly one of the greatest songs ever written.
Hes playing the top 3 when he starts doing that, and he starts barring the a note, you can see it's a different way on the fretboard than the first time
Klaus Chamberlain I realized later on that he was hitting multiple strings. He’s tuned to cgcgad I believe. I got the tabs and they showed him hitting the low C and G strings simultaneously.
This song effected me so strongly that I felt I had to do a version of it. It's an alternate version with a lot of layers. It's the latest video in my channel. Please check it out if Josés song has moved you.
Sublime, mais quand j'essaie de la jouer avec le capo en 2e ou en 4e frette ça sonne hyper faux. J'ai vérifié mon accordage (classique Mi La Ré Sol Si Mi) normalement c'est ok. Faut-il accorder sa guitare autrement ?
Sushi Uchiha good luck! I think you need to start with something a bit simpler and train up to this I've been playing for years and this was difficult to learn.
I can play a basic version now, but am far from how he plays it.. Drop D with your G up to an A. The finger picking is pretty easy for the first main parts, but that last bit is tricky. Use guitar tab app it has it correct. You can get a basic version going with that, but it’ll take effort and work to get all the parts how he does
One of the most beautiful songs ever created. Still here, 2024.
I shed a tear when his voice blends in with his guitar
One of the greatest songs ever,I don't say that lightly
Listening to the song was euphoric but playing his song on my guitar... no words best decribe that feeling. The rhythm is so magical...
Now sing along with that, that's the feeling of love.
I feel ya, I looked this up and learned it by ear
Do you have any Good Guitar Tabs for this my Freind??? I love fingerpicking and this song is Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!
Jose doesn't make music, he makes magic.
Saw Jose Gonzalez live at Green Man last weekend and I now I can't stop thinking about this song.
Such a talent, so beautiful.
His hands, his voice, his lyrics!
Long may you continue to make music for us all.
My life needed this.
If I could live inside this song with a warm blanket and hot tea I would never leave!!!
It's way better than the record version. His voice sounds light but it's deep.

It's as big as any drop I've ever heard. It hits so hard
Its just one of those perfect songs...its so hard to be a perfect song, and this is one of them..
True! 😢I love it so much ❤️ 🎶
He's right. What will be remembered of us and our work, our lives 100 years from now? The beauty and wonder is that we are here...now.
Frank Albin well there are people whose work is remembered in today's times a hundred or hundreds years later.A testament to their genius.
Hopefully Jose will be remembered 100 years from now. Or at least his music.
Guitar skills from another galaxy and the voice- oh my! Imagine Jose bedtime stories to his kids! Profound lyrics. Thank you Sony for using his music back in the early 2000s for Sony Bravia TV ads- that's how I stumbled upon most cool music through ad music!
Can't really describe the beauty of this song. Goosebumps. Thank you 💚
I get goosebumps everytime also. One of my all time favorite songs!

"Who cares in a hundred years from now,
Who'll remember all the players,
Who'll remember all the clowns....
So what does this really mean,

I thinks it's more about people who have a meaningless life and don't take things serious therefore never getting anywhere.
@@StallionFernando It feels a lot more nihilistic than that. OP covered it.
You're cycling trivialities*
Magic luv it but

My hair grows back. My eyes can see again. My homework is all done. My life is complete...
Thank you Mr Gonzalez 😍
So many years have passed since I've been listening to this song; and ever got tired of it
3:04 on makes every hair on my body stand straight up. Absolutely incredible! His music has literally healed my mental state more than a few times.
I'm addicted to this song, I think I need help. Just one more time...
4:00 that's when the tears breakthrough. Otherworldly beauty
Such a beautiful song. And this was all done live!!!
Still listening, hits harder with everything going on. We will get through these cycling trivialities.. 🤙🏻 💙
I replayed this song like 100x today lol
This is simply brilliant.
I am very slow to say that something is amazing, but this is surely one of the best things I have heard in my entire life.

Beautiful!
Excellent on so many levels, but his articulation is particularly brilliant
Some people play music, some people are music, lyrics and melody just make my soul feel better
Idk why this song makes me cry so much
I was looking for this comment because the same happens to me every time I listen to it
The best song of Jose.
Agreed.
Such a moving performance.
BASTANO UNA BELLA VOCE E UNA CHITARRA BEN SUONATA PER RIEMPIRE LE ORECCHIE DI OTTIMA MUSICA.
Too blind to know your best
Hurrying through the forks without regrets
Different now, every step feels like a mile
All the lights seem to flash and pass you by
So how?s it gonna be
When it all comes down, cycling trivialities
But don't know which way to turn
Every trifle becoming big concerns
All this time you were chasing dreams
Without knowing what you wanted them to mean
So how's it gonna be
When it all comes down, cycling trivialities
So how's it gonna be
When it all comes down, cycling trivialities
Who cares in a hundred years from now
All your small steps, all your shitty clouds
Who cares in a hundred years from now
Who'll remember all the players
Who'll remember all the clowns
So how's it gonna be
When it all comes down, cycling trivialities
So what does this really mean
When it all comes down, cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
Cycling trivialities
One of the few times where I prefer the live version over the studio recording.
Pure Blissful sounds, takes me back to 2006 when life felt natural and good for me. Peace x
Watty before smartphones 😉
what a lovely lovely song
Simply magical from a magician
Καταπληκτικός καλλιτέχνης,αυτή η κιθάρα... Μπράβο!
Crazy how profound his lyrics are and English isn't even his first language
Jake Welch genial!!!
To be fair, Swedes are usually great English-speakers
Ikr!
Well, he doesn't write all his lyrics! This one is him, but Heartbeats is two other people!

endless inspiration
Como ciclo viajero quiero decir que RE-AMO este tema! 😍
Still shining....
Cycling trivialities....
Make peace and got it
His music is magic 💛
You had me at your first note, you are great José González!
Absolutely gorgeous
Maravilhoso, cara!

My best song when i want to think about us...wish us the best luck ;)
Such brilliant music! Thank you.
Love this song
New Amsterdam brought me here ❤️
what a beautiful piece of art.
Amo essa música
Very very good.
It reminds me to Mr. Miladin Šobić, one of for me best musicians in the world.
Obrigada Kaike, essa música me acalmou da ansiedade. Obrigada mesmo. 💙
there is a version with Jose playing with the String Theory orchestra of Germany, also very well done.
Wow! I love this song.
BEAUTIFUL LYRICISM.
Pure right hand magic.
thank you und thank you KEXP
Beautiful song
Just an amazing song.
yes.

Your funny
José, soundtrack to a life
Esta canción me flipa! It makes me feel so...sets me right :)
Perfection.
Awesome track.. 🤯😌🤧
Come again to Chile!
Man this is solid.
Really like when he starts hitting that low (top) string hard. Really adds intensity.
Hes playing the top 3 when he starts doing that, and he starts barring the a note, you can see it's a different way on the fretboard than the first time

@@joelmorder9780 yeah, I just learned it recently, it's one of my favorite songs to play

I met a traveller from an antique land...
What tuning does he use in the guitar to play it?
Has anyone made tabs for this yet? I would really appreciate it
Don't know if it' still relevant, but there are tabs here:
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/601734
Can someone do a tutorial of this song, I just got a guitar and want this to be my first song.

Capo 2 also, sry
Now I'm kind of curious whose that one dislike is :)
Оля Читайло His ex gf
Maybe someone who has trouble acknowledging the pain they’re in.
What tuning is that?
