My 19yo daughter passed away last year. This song means so much to me. Hearing it the first time about 6 months after she died made me CRY and CRY but helped me gather some strength to "keep going".
My partner off 18 years died suddenly of a heart attack 6 months ago, he was only 51 and my life imploded, for many months I have been silently screaming but more recently been able to start learning to carry it with me and live again, this track helps to give me strength, it's been on my Playlist for a long time but taken on a fiercer significance since thee loss of the man that I adored!
Had never heard of these guys then my daughter called me with tickets for a Toronto show. I was blown away. Saw people there from 15 to 65 yrs old and they were loving it. Great show. And alot of their lyrics are very deep like poetry. Now l can't get enough of them. Just when I was giving up on music bang l hear this now l can't get enough
Said, I'm pulling down the shades for the long ride I never knew that I could feel so black and blue I've been holding onto something now for sometime All I know is it's a feeling fit for two Cause when the sunlight laid its head down on this dark night And I was talking to myself in the rear view Yeah I've got questions but I know everything is alright All I have to do is just remember you 'Cause I'm never gonna lose you I've got you deep inside my chest And I can feel you beating like the soul of a drummer boy [Chorus] We've gotta keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going Don't care what anybody say Let the law take us away We've gotta keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going Don't care what anybody say Nah nah nah nah I've been fake and I've been free I've been you and I've been me But now I stand up tall for what I believe Against all odds I walked that trail of fear And tread on desperate leaves But no one's leaving just yet We all want that make believe Tried and true tribulations Of who I've come to be The less I know the more I learn How much love means to me Every day I'm walking out the front door Leaning on your ghost The best feeling of the day is one that I lean toward most We've gotta keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going Don't care what anybody say Let the law take us away We've gotta keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going Don't care what anybody say I've been fake and I've been free I've been you and I've been me But now I stand up tall for what I believe Against all odds I walked that trail of fear And tread on desperate leaves But no one's leaving just yet We all want that make believe Tried and true tribulations Of who I've come to be The less I know the more I learn How much love means to me Every day I'm walking out the front door Leaning on your ghost The best feeling of the day is one that I lean toward most We've gotta keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going Don't care what anybody say Let the love take us away We've gotta keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going Don't care what anybody say Keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going away
My teenage son turned me on to these guys. Now I downloaded every one of their songs I can find! They are truly outstanding! They're like a cross between rock, pop and blues. Incredible!
Saw them at The Stone Pony last night (in Asbury Park, New Jersey for those of you who don't know the rock history) and they we're mind-blowing amazing!!! If you have the chance to see them live - take it! If you don't you'll regret it. My husband and I drove an hour and a half, each way, to see them. (and after all...it was The Stone Pony) and I have NEVER driven that far to see a band before - especially one that I was only introduced to merely 2 weeks ago...they are worth it!! They leave it ALL on stage.
I love the Truth to stand up for what you believe in this song! This generation truly needs leaders like you in this lost world! This song came to me as I was suffering from another of life's battle's. Before I knew it I was dancing and shaking that crap off...thank you for as my life motto has been "Keep On Keeping On". I have been loving your music and it's helped my soul so much! Keep on making this awesome music, and I'm now in love with horns in a band!!! "I've been fake, I've been free, I've been you I've been me"...truth!
i bought the cd and i must say that although this song is amazing in all versions, this live version is better, its just perfect! i could listen to this for days. thanks for the music, its easy to see that you poured your hearts into it, indie bands are the best.
I am so glad i explored you guys more, it was truly Rob ingraham and his wicked funky sax skills that caught my attention. i love it! you guys are amazing! come visit Seattle soon!!!!!! ill be checking your tour schedules!!
To be honest I recently came to know about you guys, heard 'Wish I knew You' and since then I am in love with your songs! Love the base, the vocals...You have got one more fan! - Love from Australia :)
Well all I can say is, I hope you find the strength to Keep Going and remember that he is alive in your (and others') hearts. I doubt a RUclips comment will help you deal with your grief at all, but if it does I will consider myself exceedingly fortunate
This is the most incredible song I’ve ever heard, a friend of mine lost her sister several months ago and I just started listening and getting into The Revivalists and told her to listen to this song before I really examined the lyrics and what this song was really about. The next day she revealed to me with so much gratitude of how much she really needed to hear this song. After re-listening to it, I told her it must of been God sent and I was grateful that it helped because we all continue the need to Keep Going through this experience. Thank you all and Thank You Revivalists
Merrideth Simpson Sounds like true love! Lost my love of 35 years! Four years ago! Sounds like we both were blessed to have true Love❤️ Hang in there and cherries the memories! Some people tell me to forget and move on. I don't wanna lose the precious memories I have!
All your songs are playing to the beat of my heart and soul!!! amazing music!!! Therapy for my heart and soul!! Hot fucking damn!!!! thank you so much!!!
You guys are awesome, I can listen to one of your songs or watch one of your videos when I'm feeling low and lost and you all bring back a happy feeling a more confident feeling that I can get to where I want to be in this life. Thanks you must bring this to so many not. Just me alone- KEEP GOING! we all need you to lift us up in a world that can take us down if we let it. Thanks for sharing!!!❤
@DavidShaw. hi! I am good thanks for asking. And same to you, it's good to meet nice people anywhere right? Are you also a fan of the revivalists? I found them here on RUclips and listen to many of their songs.
Wow! Yes very nice to meet you here. Talented bunch of musicians. With so much heart. Again nice to meet you here and flattered that you showed up and sent a message to me, one of your many fans. 😊❤️
@DavidShaw. you are the lead singer of the revivalists! So very nice to meet u here. My favorite video and song of yours is " wish I knew you when I was young". I've watched it over and over again. I love the heart that shines from all if you and the music you make! I have thought alot about the lives of musicians like you. I wonder do you have a fan mail address that you read also? If so I'd like to share some thoughts with u. I wonder what inspires your creative side, for you and others like you. Or an address I could write?
ARHHJJH FRUCK YEAHHHH JUST DISCOVERED THESE GENIUSES WHO I HEARD ON MY RADIO AT 0340A WHILE DRIVING TO WORK!!! HOW ARE THEY NOT FRICKIN SUPERSTSRS?? OMG BROLLIANT!!!
You Guys truly are light workers within this current realm we live in. You bring a refreshing, and as your name says, reviving energy, positively charged, with just a hint of the dark side, just enough to keep the balance, You know what we do to ourselves , the Almighty, slaps us on the wrist, but what we do to others, the Almighty will tear that ass up, and by the time we leave this realm, a lot of us will have a broke ass, hahaha Love you Guys, The Revivalists, Got Damn Right, You Geaux!
I feel like I must have been under a rock or something. How did music this good get past me? What do you call this style or genre? Whatever it is, I love it.
My 19yo daughter passed away last year. This song means so much to me. Hearing it the first time about 6 months after she died made me CRY and CRY but helped me gather some strength to "keep going".
So sorry for your loss. Keep going!
You got this. Thank you for your honesty. Keep going. We all are trying to keep going too. We can do this together ~ ❤️
Keep going
I am so sorry for your loss. Music helps soothe the hurt.
So sorry for your loss
My partner off 18 years died suddenly of a heart attack 6 months ago, he was only 51 and my life imploded, for many months I have been silently screaming but more recently been able to start learning to carry it with me and live again, this track helps to give me strength, it's been on my Playlist for a long time but taken on a fiercer significance since thee loss of the man that I adored!
Personally I like this more than a music video. I like watching the musicians jam together.
The pianist can play and blow the trumpet at the same time. I can't even listen to this song and breathe.
😂Seriously!
The keyboardists ability to play the trumpet while still playing different piano cords with his other hand is astounding!
I am an instant fan! Someone showed me "Wish I Knew You.." and I am completely HOOKED!
I’m 72 and love them to pieces...hahaha
Absolutely one the most talented bands of this decade! I never get tired of hearing them play... I just can't get enough!
Very well said
they make everyone else seem like simply trying wanna bees. here's the real deal
Loveeeeeeeee them.

These guys were literally born to be musicians. So many artists wish they had half this ability.
They are truly amazing. Music like this makes the world a much better place.
Had never heard of these guys then my daughter called me with tickets for a Toronto show. I was blown away. Saw people there from 15 to 65 yrs old and they were loving it. Great show. And alot of their lyrics are very deep like poetry. Now l can't get enough of them. Just when I was giving up on music bang l hear this now l can't get enough
My bro is my bestie and I don't need anything else even if he goes apart or hate me.
Said, I'm pulling down the shades for the long ride
I never knew that I could feel so black and blue
I've been holding onto something now for sometime
All I know is it's a feeling fit for two
Cause when the sunlight laid its head down on this dark night
And I was talking to myself in the rear view
Yeah I've got questions but I know everything is alright
All I have to do is just remember you
'Cause I'm never gonna lose you
I've got you deep inside my chest
And I can feel you beating like the soul of a drummer boy
[Chorus]
We've gotta keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Don't care what anybody say
Let the law take us away
We've gotta keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Don't care what anybody say
Nah nah nah nah
I've been fake and I've been free
I've been you and I've been me
But now I stand up tall for what I believe
Against all odds I walked that trail of fear
And tread on desperate leaves
But no one's leaving just yet
We all want that make believe
Tried and true tribulations
Of who I've come to be
The less I know the more I learn
How much love means to me
Every day I'm walking out the front door
Leaning on your ghost
The best feeling of the day is one that I lean toward most
We've gotta keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Don't care what anybody say
Let the law take us away
We've gotta keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Don't care what anybody say
I've been fake and I've been free
I've been you and I've been me
But now I stand up tall for what I believe
Against all odds I walked that trail of fear
And tread on desperate leaves
But no one's leaving just yet
We all want that make believe
Tried and true tribulations
Of who I've come to be
The less I know the more I learn
How much love means to me
Every day I'm walking out the front door
Leaning on your ghost
The best feeling of the day is one that I lean toward most
We've gotta keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Don't care what anybody say
Let the love take us away
We've gotta keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Don't care what anybody say
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going
Keep going away
My teenage son turned me on to these guys. Now I downloaded every one of their songs I can find! They are truly outstanding! They're like a cross between rock, pop and blues. Incredible!
I’ve been following this band forever! They get better every year!
I'll add my stamp of approval. Especially Wish I knew you when we were young.
What a great performance! The last minute and a half is especially electric!!
Saw them at The Stone Pony last night (in Asbury Park, New Jersey for those of you who don't know the rock history) and they we're mind-blowing amazing!!!
