Did you really find it necessary to keep the first 20secs as a garbage intro? Prob why you have less than 6k subs LOL. Such a big disservice to the band in this video.
I spent my time watchin' The spaces that have grown between us And I cut my mind, on second best All the scars that come with the greenness And I gave my eyes to the boredom Still the seabed wouldn't let me in And I tried my best To embrace the darkness in which I swim Now walkin' back, down this mountain The strength of a turnin' tide Oh the wind's so soft, and my skin Yeah the sun was so hot upon my side Oh lookin' out, at this happiness I searched for it between the sheets Oh feelin' blind, and realized All I was searchin' for was me Oh oh, all I was searchin' for was me Oh, yeah Keep your head up, keep your heart strong No, no, no, no Keep your mind set, keep your hair long Oh my, my darlin' Keep your head up, keep your heart strong No, no, no, no Keep your mind set in your ways Keep your heart strong And I saw a friend of mine the other day And he told me that my eyes were gleamin' Oh I said I had been away, and he knew Oh he knew, the depths I was meanin' And it felt so good to see his face All the comfort invested in my soul Oh to feel the warmth, of a smile When he said "I'm happy to have you home" Oh oh, "I'm happy to have you home" Oh, yeah Keep your head up, keep your heart strong No, no, no, no Keep your mind set, keep you hair long Oh my my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong No, no, no, no Keep your mind set in your ways Keep your heart strong 'Cause I'll always remember you the same Oh eyes like wild flowers, oh with your demons of change (Keep your head up, keep your heart strong) (Keep your head up, keep your heart strong) Oh (Keep your head up) May you find happiness there (keep your heart strong) (Keep your head up) Oh May all your hopes all turn out right (keep your heart strong) Keep your head up, keep your heart strong No, no, no, no (keep your heart strong) Keep your mind set, keep you hair long Oh my my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong No, no, no, no Keep your mind set in your ways Keep your heart strong 'Cause I'll always remember you the same Oh eyes like wild flowers, oh with your demons
I'm so happy I discovered Ben Howard, Gregory Alan Isakov, The Paper Kites, and other artists in indie folk, indie rock, and acoustic music later in my life (in my late 30s and 40s)!!! Some people criticize music like this because if it's not mainstream or popular it's probably not going to be good enough for them. I can't understand them. Most songs I have discovered by opening my mind to less-known artists and music are beautiful!! I feel sorry for people who cannot feel and appreciate this music; perhaps they don't have the sensibility or are afraid to let it in and feel it.
Love this, my eldest son died last July. In November of that year I had a heaft attack and during the ct scans they found cancer in my lung. I remember my other son telling me,. head up Mum, keep strong. Then the first time of radiotherapy when I was terrified, this was playing loud and proud. I have never forgot it and play this song often. Hope it gives comfort to others as it does me x
