Everything is perfect. I can feel myself in this scene. It’s the 80’s. The sky looks like it did from the eyes of a child. Everyone I love is alive and young. God.
Childhood should be a happy time for all kids but for many it just isn't. Crazy moms and crazy dads acting as the kids they are. RIP mom and dad. Im no better a parent than you. We try the best we know I guess
jason is like some kind of shaman for me. his lyrics get me into the places in my mind where i have to confront my future mortality and my past choices. scary domain, but i always come out of it feeling stronger and more capable of being a better man. thank you to him and his wonderful band
I don't think he's underrated. He's been referred to as the best songwriter of this generation by the likes of Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen. Grammys, hugely popular. But I do agree he's brilliant.
Saddler reminds me of Mike Campbell. He is able to give every song exactly what it needs and everything he says with his guitar is perfectly articulated. Killer tone and feel, never too much!
He's so good. Hell they're all so good. Best songwriter on the planet, backed by a ridiculously talented band. I get goosebumps just about every time I listen to this song
Can't wait to spend the evening listening to your wonderful live music/sound. Miss the times of live music and I for one am ready to get back to living!
Still hoping to see Jason and the 400 Unit. It’s been rescheduled twice...my wife bought me a ticket for Christmas 2019, concert was supposed to be in March 2020, bumped to December 2020, now bumped again to July 2021.
Mobile? We'll be there too! Saw him in Destin before he blew up, and in Panama City before the hurricane and again at Shoalsfest. I'm more of a singer-songwriter person and my husband is a guitar appreciator, so Jason Isbell ticks each of our boxes.
@@BoldBuccleuch Rescheduled again until October 7! We arrived in Mobile late this afternoon and found out there. No email or notice. Oh well, at least we had a very nice dinner and the hotel is beautiful and our daughter is watching our dogs. We walked around downtown, had a few drinks and are enjoying ourselves anyway. We'll just come back again in October. It's only an hour away for us. Sometimes you just have to roll.
@@bellwethervance5343 yes, I saw an update on the theater FB event page. He’s shooting a movie in OK right now and couldn’t get to Mobile. So now we wait a few more months.
I was pretty mad at the Truckers for letting him go but it might have been the best thing to ever happen for him up to that point. And how drunk do you have to be for dbt to say that's too much?
It wasn’t just the drinking…he and Shauna were getting a divorce. It broke my heart too, but they needed to do what was healthy for everyone. I love every single song he has done since-but Decoration Day is still my favorite albums of all time.
I always thought your cover of Into the Mystic was very original and inspired, very Jason Isbell. It's nice to hear a little of that influence bleeding out into a new original. I've always thought your drop-D acoustic stuff really has it's own sound.
@@lastnamefirst4035 I certainly can't say for sure bc I was 8 (1993) but you're probably right. My mom remarried a few years later and life was good, better than I appreciated at the time....which lasted til I was 18 and graduated hs. Went with my mom on an extended family beach trip for a week shortly after and came home to a note on that said stepdad no longer wanted to be married. Then found out he had moved out (monumental task for a week). Over 10 years later she remarried to a great guy who I'm proud to call family. Happy ending in comparison to what could've been but she's been through the wringer and I'm not quite right lol as per this paragraph you didn't ask for. Chin up my friend!
I guess we're leaving town again We're moving out and moving in Gotta break the news to all my friends But they won't care They'll just find another face To fall behind, to take my place And run way out past second base And just stand there A dreamsicle on a summer night In a folding lawn chair Witches ring around the moon Better get home soon Poison oak and poison ivy Dirty jokes that blew right by me Mama curling up beside me Crying to herself Why can't daddy just come home? Forget whatever he did wrong He's in a hotel all alone And we need help A dreamsicle on a summer night In a folding lawn chair I'm still packing up my room Gotta get home soon New sneakers on a high school court And you swore you'd be there My heart breaking through the springtime Breaking in June Broken glass and broken vows I'll be 18 four years from now With different friends in a different town I'll finally be free Call you both some holiday Tell you why I moved away Say, "Everything's gonna be okay You can come see me" A dreamsicle on a summer night In a folding lawn chair Daddy's howling at the moon Better get home soon Heat lightning in the evening sky And my mama's red hair Hearts breaking through the springtime Breaking in June Breaking in June Breaking in June
Greed trumps liberty. So Jason changes requirements for attendance and promises to refund money to those unable to meet his newly stated requirement yet nary a cent returned. The man has no integrity. Greedy!!
Have now listened to 5 songs from this guy. They all suck. His pitch is off. Before today, I had never heard of this dude and I'm really wishing it would have stayed that way. My membership on a veteran's website offered me 2 free tickets to go to a concert of Isbell, but before I accepted them, I had to know who he is and whether or not the tickets would be wasted on me. I have absolutely concluded that they would.
Everything is perfect. I can feel myself in this scene. It’s the 80’s. The sky looks like it did from the eyes of a child. Everyone I love is alive and young. God.
This is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. The lyrics are brilliant. Hits home.
Born in ‘58. Grew up through the 60s, 70s were puberty and high school. Brings back so many memories.
Childhood should be a happy time for all kids but for many it just isn't. Crazy moms and crazy dads acting as the kids they are. RIP mom and dad. Im no better a parent than you. We try the best we know I guess
I want to go back in time and have myself a cry all at once when I hear this. We all tried our best.
Unhappy childhood memories
Agreeeeed.. 🙄😥😇
I wish I could honestly say that I tried my best.
@@jbgibson2026 we all did, mate, in whatever way we could…..✊
FOOOOLDING LAWN CHAIR! Why do I love singing that so much?
I know right!

Another under rated, under appreciated song writer. This guy touches the heart like few.
I don't think he's underrated. He's been referred to as the best songwriter of this generation by the likes of Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen. Grammys, hugely popular. But I do agree he's brilliant.
@@Kelleyp It's likely just me, I only took notice recently, I'm kind of retarded that way.
Going on over a decade of listening to Isbell. It still never gets old and always make me feel better.
…and he and the band just keep getting better and better.
Saddler reminds me of Mike Campbell. He is able to give every song exactly what it needs and everything he says with his guitar is perfectly articulated. Killer tone and feel, never too much!
Goals. But, yes.
That bend at 2:09...it's just hangs there SO musically, waiting and then...boom, perfect resolve. Sadler is a very talented guitarist.
Spot on.
A solid lead guitarist - like Mike for sure
He's so good. Hell they're all so good. Best songwriter on the planet, backed by a ridiculously talented band. I get goosebumps just about every time I listen to this song
I grew up in east Arkansas and just about every one of his songs hit home.
This is the song that has most lingered from Reunions. A masterpiece
Completely agree
This and River are definitely the lyrical peaks of the album for me.
@@ttyylleerrss I really loved “It gets easier” and “letting you go”
This is my new favorite isbell song
This is the happiest sounding sad song. I love it.
I’m in awe of the talent and the man this kid has become.
Reminds me of my mom and me after she divorced my dad and we had to live in motels until we found a home and all we had was lawn chairs for furniture!
I love the radio in my van...this song came on..I pushed the info button..and I love this song ..
♥♥♥♥
Life just got better by discovering this incredible slice of heaven of an artist!
Fantastic imagery in this song
National Treasure🇺🇸

Looking forward to live shows!
I never tire of this tune! ❤
Dam jason thanks for sitting on a folding lawn chair takes me back keep doing what you do
My favorite of his new stuff.
The bowling hotel is The Stricklin in Florence, Alabama. It's a cool place. Florence is a sweet small town just north of Muscle Shoals.
Vance, was Florence the home town of the PeeDee Pride hockey team? 👍🏴🏒🇺🇸
@@graham1745grew up in the Shoals area. No hockey lol
@@LibbyONeal09 Aha, Libby….I’m getting mixed up with the ‘other’ Florence, in SC……👍🏴🏒🇺🇸

Hi from the UK looking forward to Manchester later in the year brilliant as usual .
Love it! Hello from Albuquerque, NM!
I love Isbell
Wow. Just wow. Amazing.
That's all i needed today!
Thanks!
Just love this song...
oh dang there's a bunch of these heck yeah!!
Love this song! Thanks for all the great music! Looking forward to seeing you in the future in Boston!
Awesome stuff from Jason
Need to see them live again ... someday
Hi brother, this song is for you wherever you may be. Love you to the full moon 🌕 Best brother ever ❤
Just fab. Peak Isbell. No one comes close.
SO GOOOOOOD!
a damn gorgeous song ................... ngl
Heart wrenching. Jason could sing Happy Birthday and it would be heart wrenching. But this song is a crusher.
Isbell you legend! Love it mate 😎🤝
Feels very Neil but truly still Jason! Beautiful composition and masterfully performed by everyone!✌️❤️
Love you guys...
Huggz and Luv Compadre...
My Best to You and Amanda and The 400 Unit ❣

This song ......
Awesome
Am I the only 10 year old that likes this song
such a dark song, despite the upbeat melody.
🥰
Can’t imagine this without Amanda…
Is there a video release of this exact concert because, well take my money if there is. smfh some of the the best I've heard in awhile
Child of divorce? NC here, much love y'all!
Sometimes its worse when parents stay together

Great song, lyrics and tasteful delivery. Is he wearing a black vest over a black t shirt....is it bullet proof?
This song wrecks me.
I guess we're leaving town again
We're moving out and moving in
Gotta break the news to all my friends
But they won't care
They'll just find another face
To fall behind, to take my place
And run way out past second base
And just stand there
A dreamsicle on a summer night
In a folding lawn chair
Witches ring around the moon
Better get home soon
Poison oak and poison ivy
Dirty jokes that blew right by me
Mama curling up beside me
Crying to herself
Why can't daddy just come home?
Forget whatever he did wrong
He's in a hotel all alone
And we need help
A dreamsicle on a summer night
In a folding lawn chair
I'm still packing up my room
Gotta get home soon
New sneakers on a high school court
And you swore you'd be there
My heart breaking through the springtime
Breaking in June
Broken glass and broken vows
I'll be 18 four years from now
With different friends in a different town
I'll finally be free
Call you both some holiday
Tell you why I moved away
Say, "Everything's gonna be okay
You can come see me"
A dreamsicle on a summer night
In a folding lawn chair
Daddy's howling at the moon
Better get home soon
Heat lightning in the evening sky
And my mama's red hair
Hearts breaking through the springtime
Breaking in June
Breaking in June
Breaking in June
Keep that dreamy hair Jason
Looking more like Sam Kinison
Morgan Wallen should cover this one too.
Absolutely not
@@lanethompson976 He can sing better than Isbell.
@@craig5649 funny
@@craig5649 cant write a song tho
@@mothmonsterman80 Isbell can't sell records unless someone else is recording his song.

I am sure your songs are more famous and everyone around the world wants to hear you sing
what a powerful song
Brilliant. Really; brave. I'm normally one to have lots to say. But I say sit back and enjoy artistry.
