@@geofff.3343 silly reply. No one can keep up with every little thing happening in music. Rayland is not well-known and therefore not boosted by algorithms. You could only naturally find him by deliberately filtering by genre, relvevancy or view count. Unless you're like me and found him through a random Spotify playlist a couple years ago.
My kitten, Ivory, had bright Yellow Eyes when she was little. I made an instagram story with her trying to touch my hand from behind the window glass, and I put this song on as a background. That's how I discovered you. Now, because of a strange and terrible sickness, she's gone. She was only a year and a half, and every time I listen to this I start to cry. She lives on through your music, Rayland. Thank you.
Heard it playing in Barnes and Noble when I was looking for some books on Philosophy. I rode home and kept listening to it until my headphones died, and really I think it made the experience of riding a path I hadn't been before late at night 10 times better. So peaceful
@@standardofexcellence hahahaha wow ok Bert...!! if you wanna be mad at someone at least make it the people who designed and created the systems that have addicted people to scrolling, count yourself lucky that for whatever reason it didn't happen to you :o]
My cat ran away and I think about him constantly....literally every second of every day. I feel like this song is about him, his new journey, and finding his own way. He is a vagabond now, and all his paths are filled with uncertainty. He definitely left me lonely but I only wish for his happiness.... for his safety....and mostly, that he meets his girl with Yellow Eyes!
There's a paperclip resting on my countertop Sunday morning I forgot What it's like to lose a friend Yesterday How it seems so far away And I've said all I can say Now it's time I get to goin' Now it's time I get to find my own way And I'll leave you lonely I'll leave you lonely Now I'm on the road Knowing not which way to go Is it yes or is it no? I don't really care For the golden sun Has washed me away and I've become Just another vagabond holding my head Now it's time I get to goin' Now it's time I get to find my own way And I'll leave you lonely I'll leave you lonely All in all it's a beautiful day And I wake up all alone I cannot help but run away Now I'm afraid That it's all in my head Don't you know That it's all in your head? So you roll the dice Melt the fire Burn the ice Find the girl with yellow eyes And go and break her heart See that nothing changes And I know not what I've become A prisoner to everyone I've loved from the start Now it's time I get to goin' Now it's time I get to find my own way And I'll leave you lonely I'll leave you lonely I'll leave you lonely I'll leave you lonely I'll leave you lonely I'll leave you lonely
Rayland, I am of Brazil and appreciate your songs. the letters are so pretty, i enjoy the style, musical composition, even it help me to practise my english. thanks for everything
You are not of Brazil, you are from Brazil. The words are pretty, not the letters. It helps you to practise your English, not help. English is the name of a language so it should start with a capital letter.
@@brunogomes984 what’s your point? Language is fluid and gate keeping is pointless. Is it perfect in the way we teach it? No. Can we understand what he’s saying? Yes. That’s all that matters. Everything else is polish.
Caught him before he took the Spirit Lake stage at Hulaween a few years back. Simply yelled his name once to say “Hey dude!” and before he got on stage he came over to shake my hand and hit me back with a “What’s shaking man?!”. Appreciated that moment tons. Love this guy.
This song's lyrics scarily describe a dark period in my life in darker ways than you may imagine. When I first heard it then, you can guessI was crying like crazy. Thinking back now, I just wish I could thank Rayland personally. His ability to bring raw emotion from my eyeholes and smushbrain surpasses many musicians.
Saw Rayland in Cleveland, in February, and he was amazing. I was a vocalist in area bands late sixties, early seventies, and I love original, thoughtful and intelligent music and I thank a coworker for turning me on to Rayland. I love to harmonize with him. That 3 part harmony is fun! Thanks Rayland. You are surprisingly psychedelic live, by the way.
Love what you have going on! Amazing talent! I picked up a copy of "Imaginary Man" at one of your shows, and it remains in my car, and is played often! Thank you, Sir!
Saw Rayland a few years back. Amazing set and then he came and hung with us fans after the show. Super nice guy, taking pictures, signing things and chatting for hours. A true gentleman and good guy in the music world!
I was at a Caamp concert and this played between sets. I was singing it and thought it was some older song that everyone knew. I was the only one singing it though. Didn't even know where I heard it. I think it plays at work. So great and glad I found Rayland in a round about way.

In my opinion this is the kind of music that deserves a grammy
Rarely do you find a song this good that is 7 years old… how in gods name did this fall through the cracks? It is brilliant
I know. I just found videos of him playing Willys Song from back when I was in highschool 2010/2011. I was like wtf...
Thru the cracks by king tuff is also an amazing song coincidentally
Nah, my good fellow, you just weren't paying any attention.

One of those those songs you wish were a little longer
Exactly
Can a song last forever????
One of those songs that makes you question how you see the world.
100%
I have become addicted to this song..
I have every song I could find of Rayland. He is diamond! Absolutely one of my favorite artist.
Am I the only guy who waits til it's almost over, swipes left, starts it over.. more than once?
No. You're not the only one. Love this song 🎵 ❤️
I can listen to this song over and over again and never get tired of it.
+Debra Harris Same, Debra!
I second this! Smooth af
Million times over.
Agreed, you know it's great when you can do that without getting sick of it.

Beautiful insight thank you for sharing
Heard it first in B&N as well just now. Amazing song!
Why is it most often that that the most beautiful music is overlooked and underappreciated by most
That feels like a blessing in disguise because not all lot of people have this heard. So now it's just a little part of our heart.
Sadly, most people don't have a taste. They are dictated by what the trending pages show.
The worlds a disensitized apocalyptic cespool of people with 5 second attention spans with no independant thought

they are not lonely i guess
This has been my isolation anthem. I keep listening to it over and over again. It even made me pick up a guitar for the first time in years.
Lucy Watson love it!!
Music is truly the highest art form. This song is just beautiful.
I’ve never heard this song before. It’s kinda strange. I listen to music all the time great song.

Your post hits hard.
Blew me away when I first heard it 😤
Been struggling to find music that has that makes life better, listened to the soho version of this and I was in tears
Favorite song ever and If I have only one song to listen to before dying it’s this one. Pure genius I love it sm
Laura C Wankel Agree! I just discovered this song two days ago and I am hooked!
The wheel 2021 brought me here. Thank you.
This is Country!
Kudos to the (underrated) keys player
All I can say is wow. I’ve listened to this fifty times since I first heard this on 90.7 The Summit from Akron. I’m in love with it
Heather Wassil me too!!
There's a paperclip resting on my countertop
Sunday morning I forgot
What it's like to lose a friend
Yesterday
How it seems so far away
And I've said all I can say
Now it's time I get to goin'
Now it's time I get to find my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
Now I'm on the road
Knowing not which way to go
Is it yes or is it no?
I don't really care
For the golden sun
Has washed me away and I've become
Just another vagabond holding my head
Now it's time I get to goin'
Now it's time I get to find my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
All in all it's a beautiful day
And I wake up all alone
I cannot help but run away
Now I'm afraid
That it's all in my head
Don't you know
That it's all in your head?
So you roll the dice
Melt the fire
Burn the ice
Find the girl with yellow eyes
And go and break her heart
See that nothing changes
And I know not what I've become
A prisoner to everyone I've loved from the start
Now it's time I get to goin'
Now it's time I get to find my own way
And I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
I'll leave you lonely
Thank you! 🙏🏻
That verse melody is so catchy
This song deserves all the love. Bravo, Baxter.
Heard this in an recordshop. Asked the guy who this was, now I am here :)
The was a classic that fell through the cracks. (My search word was "yellow eyes") that's how I found this song?
I listen to this song over and over!!!!
I can't stop listening to this!

This deserves at least 5 million views, what's wrong with people?????? Gooooo Ray!
this is one of my favorite songs atm its so underrated
Kiley Condon saw them back in June! Never heard of him, but when the crowed went crazy suggesting him to play shiiiit
Thank you 💛
This is onw of the coolest songs I've ever heard. It's AWESOME.
Just discovered this song last year. Absolutely brilliant... so so good.
Was SO fortunate to see Rayland play this live in Bozeman a few weeks back. Such a magical experience.
This song is perfect.
I just listened to this song on Radio 1. I needed to put a face to this group. Very nice.

lets appreciate those amazing backing vocals
man this is good music!

Beautiful. And that Hammond ... magically delicious.
Just saw him at Bonnaroo this year and I am already in love!
I loved your music, and then I realized we both went to suffield academy(I graduated in 2016 tho lol)

The guy on the keys is jammin' to another beat!
