I feel so often that music is dying. But bands like Dawes keeps my hopes alive. And for 5:48 seconds, i lose my thoughts, i remember why i love music so much. Great songwriters and even better lyrics.
We put my sister to rest a couple of days ago. . . and although the music from the organist was all proper, I couldn't help but think of this song. As the service progressed and the accompanying music got more and more dull. . .and poorly played; I merely closed my eyes and recited these lyrics through my tears. Thank you Dawes.
Lifelong buddy of mine took the GGLeap... Found this song about a week later.. Couldnt believe what I was hearing..... You just never know..... A little bit or everything...God Bless GT
As a singer/songwriter myself, I will count my pursuit successful if I can capture the human condition in a song this good just once in my lifetime. I love this song.
I am growing more and more fond of Dawes’ music. This one really hit me today. Working through all of my past history, and the old family house being sold, and sorting through years of photographs, I am reminded of the tapestry of our lives; how they are made up of the bad times and good times that make us who we are. Sitting at my desk at work, tears rolled down my cheeks. Love makes bad times bearable, but the bad times make us who we are. Thanks, Dawes.
I can relate. In 2014, after I lost my Mom, I stayed alone in our family's farmhouse for 2 weeks, until I moved in with my Dad, who had only recently left his home of 80 years. I cried a few tears, too, but being alone with all those memories was good for me. We've since sold the farm ( the house was since torn down; we didn't tell Dad, who died this past April ). All the best.
It has been really long since someone resumed producing narrative melodies that sooth the spirit - Kudos DAWES This one is yet the best in the last THREE years. Thanks DAWES!
The best analogy ive ever heard for what "love" is: "love is like a song, whose every word you still know, long after your tastes in music have changed."
Just a few days ago I stumbled across The Spectrum on the satellite radio in my new car. This morning I heard this song and almost wanted to pull over and listen without the distraction of driving. Wow. Wow. And I might add...wow. The imagery reminded me of Jackson Browne and then I thought (for whatever reason) of "Desperadoes Under the Eaves" . I'm glad you heard it, too. Worth the cost of a new car and satellite radio.
I wanted to listen to this just before I take a ride tomorrow, heading west on old Illinois Rte 72 from the lakeside. It promises to be a beautiful day, and hopefully, providing just that little bit of everything. The asphalt and the curbs; the posted miles per hour, the reality of a curve. The Sunday lack of traffic, and the way the engine sings. . . I'm getting my little bit of everything. Tomorrow. Saludos, todos.
I remember the first time time I heard this song. It was maybe midnight. Warm summer night, window open with a breeze. Laying in my bed in total darkness and this song came on the radio. It was so fucking deep I cried a bit. When they sang it at the Gentlemen of Road stopover last summer; I sang along with every single word.
Just beautiful - it's absolutely perfect. I found Dawes via the New Basement Tapes via a friend who posted a link to "Kansas City" for the appearance by Johnny Depp, and having listened to quite a lot now I've become a real fan. Have to say that this is probably my favourite though.
This guy is really good at painting pictures. I can really see and feel these people he's talking about vividly. The second verse about the dad at the restaurant gets me every time.
The first two verses are very sad, but the last verse is actually quite beautiful and optimistic. Since they ended with that, I choose to believe that the suicidal guy stepped down from the bridge, and that the older man at the buffet line was reconciled with his son.

Yes, this is a repost from some time back, but I'm combatting the way Google has warped the RUclips dynamic so I've "bumped" it up. So be it.
Jackson Browne is one of my musical heroes, and these boys have just joined him! This band is awesome. I think that this song has the bitter sweet writing sensibilities and imagery of Warren Zevon in the lyrics, until that slide solo kicks in, which sounds like it was recorded on Jackson's Running On Empty album.
Ive became such a fan I got a poster at the show and got Taylor's autograph. I also love there latest single From a window seat. There young guys bringing back classic rock, true rock. But saying there 10x better than Dylan is kinda saying no one beats legends and Dylan saved my life so I hope you understand what I'm saying.
Weather permitting, I will be feet-up and enroute to Pesotum, Illinois Saturday, September 14th, 7:30 AM, my address. Services for my Father will be in Pesotum, at the Davis cemetery 11:AM. Stop for fuel in Champaign/Savoy, maybe. Google maps show it as only 139 miles, but my experience is more like 160+. I don't own an MP3 player or cell-phone, so this will all come from memory as I head South on I-57 from Chicago. ~Saludos Todos~
Tyrus Moulderi heard it on way home from work for first time this morning. the piano and lyrics reminded me of zevon and the lap steel of david lindley in a jackson browne song
You're never the same after hearing this song

Damn... Stumbled upon this completely randomly, and I'm blown away. Now THIS is songwriting. I'm humbled as someone who fancies himself a musician.
Bands like this prove there is hope for true american music!!!!!

I heard this song 3 years ago being 58 it makes me think and hits home.

This may be my new favorite band.
The best analogy ive ever heard for what "love" is: "love is like a song, whose every word you still know, long after your tastes in music have changed."
oh, man, thanks for pointing that one out. it's a keeper.
Absolutely crushed by this song. Wow.
Yeah it brought me back to today and here.

So glad someone took the time to share it to me. I love it. Sad, yet one you will play over and over and learn the words.

This is actually the format of the PERFECT song.. Its beautiful, well written and great chords.
It brings me back to my teens in the 1970's and Jackson Browne's Late For The Sky LP.
Could it just be that we're genuinely seeing the return of the great songwriters, no false dawn here I think.
Thank you to the Current for introducing me to good music like this. I love living in Minneapolis.
I heard this song for the first time today on BBCRadio2 I have now listened to it 5 times I'm blown away it's Brilliant. Thank you.
Still listening in 2024
Beautiful beyond description.
Raw..Real... says what my broken mind can't ..

Experience and music equals "everything"! THank you. You nailed it.
I love their lyrics...stories are coming back to songs...

Timeless and connective.
Can't wait to see these guys 12/30!
how was it
these guys are very talented, hope they keep up the innovative works
I stumbled on this little pearl. What a powerful song. Sadly I get it.
This song just slays me.
This song stops me from actually jumping off! My anniversary is September 27 with my wife. I've been so close to the edge.
It's a tear jerker
What a beautiful song.
Very moving and compassionate song.
still love this song
Beautiful :)
The first two verses are very sad, but the last verse is actually quite beautiful and optimistic.

Me too Sweetie
I think "his only son is gone" meant that he died, not disappeared.

Working through the death of my second parent, my Dad and the wound is only a few months old. I am sorry for your loss and really liked your post.
TheScot57 Best of luck to you Scot57. Have any of us figured out what it is we want? Have a little bit of everything. ~ S ~
My condolences
The microphones and the sound guy/gal did amazing things here. Love the lyrics, but love the drummer's touch. The band is professional set.
Amazing song!
So powerful

Fantastic.
this is brilliant
Reminds me of an early Counting Crows ballad. August And Everything After era. That's a compliment.
outstanding
"his bright future left him". Knife in my heart
Thoughts are with you man.
Just about right.
Great song.
Great song. :)
I'm in love
couldn't have said it better!
Nicely done....Great song..lyric vocal melody.... lap steel finesse...
ala..Lindley..Leisz
5:18 was the cutest thing I've ever seen a drummer do.
dynamic control...griffin is such a terrific drummer.
Heheheh - thanks. It was a good ride. Cheers!
I miss you Bob your with GOD.
The steel player's beard is glorious.
What? So only one person tried to download this? I find that rather hard to believe.
how can u dislike this
very jackson browne-ish
Yeah. It's still good.
Awwww thanks for making my day! This is gorgeous! (*_*)
only 1 dislike, makes sense, this is a great song
yeah...them and Mumford and Sons!
Ive became such a fan I got a poster at the show and got Taylor's autograph. I also love there latest single From a window seat. There young guys bringing back classic rock, true rock. But saying there 10x better than Dylan is kinda saying no one beats legends and Dylan saved my life so I hope you understand what I'm saying.
god bless y
lol i thought it said that because thats exactly what i was thinking!!
Heheheh - never thought of it that way, but yes. . . very apt.
Heavy song.
Nice solo Ryan!
Leon C Ryan who?
Ryan, the guy who did the solo on the lap steel.
Yeah, I was just wondering his last name.
Devin Sullivan - Richter, IIRC
i was a sergeant in police been there he got it exactly right
i'll have a little bit of this please
Im kinda looking forward to seeing these guys play when I go see Bob Dylan.

@tl6297 Yeah - amazing - if JB had passed on I'd say he's a re-incarnation!
err share with me too.... it's early in my brain.
Reminds me of Warren Zevon
Tyrus Moulderi heard it on way home from work for first time this morning. the piano and lyrics reminded me of zevon and the lap steel of david lindley in a jackson browne song
anyone know who is playing pedal steel?
What's the name of the instrument on the guy's lap?
This guy is Jackson Browne 2.0... nice
but can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
some people know what to say
aghgh!!! slide guitar!!! :DDDDD
warren zevon meets david lindley meets Jackson browne meets randy newman...
It is a lap steel
Woah hair
no...actually that's what makes you a good man :)
They were 10x better then dylan, and i have never heard of them at that point.
Dawes a little bit of everything letterman
Don't try to figure out every word.....
Just HUM along . . . .
no...don't...not everything has to be like your life.
He sounds like Jackson Browne.
Mumford and Sons are British.....
Paul Simon called....he wants his sound back
