They Really Really are. They created their own genre almost. Criminally underrated. The best band of the last 20 years in my opinion. And this Masterpiece has just 83k views and in a time of Nothing but shit. I don't understand it, we'll I do but.... :-/
stepsinred I know, I've been waiting for them to come back to the east coast! I saw Shields in PA and it was incredible. I would love to see them in a bigger venue playing this song. It would probably melt my skin off and turn my eyes to raisins.
I just saw them in DC. it is so surreal live, they are masters of sound levels and how their music "comes off" in a room. They ended their set with this song. I turned to my friends and said "This is their Pink Floyd song" they didn't know what I was talking about. As soon as that middle section comes about and they go DEAD SILENT i looked over and saw the smiles on my friends' faces. They are easily a top 5 live band for me
This song, especially this performance, makes me stop what im doing and just listen. This is real music if it makes you feel something. Thank you grizzly bear!
This song represents some complicated days I've had in my life, but that's not bad. Now I'm able to listen to it with joy. We need to trust in ourselves no matter what. Better days will come! Much love for GB and for you, folks.
I have been in recovery for 4 years. I have been dating a guy for 3.5 years but I just broke up with my him because he cannot stay sober, I am not mad at him I get it I struggled for years. This song however sums up the entire situation. "You've fallen once, you'll fall again, and lean on, your tired hands that crawl and grasp, the soft ground, by the look on your face, you set out on a path, never to arrive, by the look on your face, the burden's on your back" I hope he gets sober for himself, but I can't keep holding on. "The look on your face, burden's on your back, sun is in your eyes, stretched out, far and wide, the light that scorched the sand, so bright, so long, I'm never coming back, So bright, so long, I'm never coming back"
I was listening to this song while I was on Acid and gosh it took me to such a beautiful place in my mind and heart. The song spoke to me and told me that all that I wanted/needed are already here for me, I just need to be grateful, patient and open to receive it from the universe. Peace and Love ✨
I was watching the full 2 hour live performance at 2:am to listen to more of their music I haven't listened to yet. I was getting really tired towards the end ready to fall asleep, but as soon as they began to play this song as their last one before the encore, I immediately forced my self to stay up due to the irresistible sound, and this became one of my most favorited song from the live performance and Grizzly Bear in general, glad I pushed through the drowsiness
You've fallen once, you'll fall again And lean on Your tired hands that crawl and grasp The soft ground By the look on your face You set out on a path Never to arrive By the look on your face The burden's on your back And the sun is in your eyesStretched out, far and wide The light that scorched the sand So bright, so long I'm never coming backAnd every stone and every step I won't recall Emptied out of every thought Just soft ground By the look on your face The burden's on your back And the sun in your eyesGone at last Stretched out, far and wide The light that scorched the sand So bright, so long I'm never coming backIt overflows, it overflows, it always runs It overflows, it overflows, it always runs Silver and silent Endless abundance overflowsSilver and silent rushing on Endless abundance overflows Always surround you, always glows OhLook on your face, Burden's on your back Sun is in your eyesStretched out, far and wide The light that scorched the sand So bright, so long I'm never coming back So bright, so long I'm never coming back
Dreamed about seeing this song live since I first heard it in 2012. Saw it last Saturday when it was the closing encore at their Dallas show. Such a dream, so powerful
Is it just me or is this performance actually better than the studio version? I heard this first and now the recorded one just sounds a little underwhelming.
Think they are Istanbul Agop Signature for most of them (ride, crash, hi-hat). A very sandy, crisp and warm sound. they're the best., especially for the environment he plays in.
The only time I saw Grizzly Bear live was back in 2013, at that time I was able hear this absolutely mind blowing song ... but after that, they never came back to Buenos Aires. I Hope they come back someday. I NEED IT 😢
You've fallen once you'll fall again And lean on Your tired hands that crawl and grasp The soft ground By the look on your face You set out on a path Never to arrive By the look on your face The burden's on your back And the sun is in your eyes Stretched out far and wide The light that scorched the sand So bright so long I'm never coming back And every stone and every step I won't recall Emptied out of every thought Just soft ground By the look on your face The burden's on your back And the sun is in your eyes Gone at last Stretched out Far and wide The light that scorched the sand So bright so long I'm never coming back It overflows It overflows It always runs It overflows It overflows It always runs Silver and silent Endless abundance overflows Silver and silent rushing on Endless abundance overflows Always surrounds you always glows Look on your face Burden's on your back Sun is in your eyes Stretched out Far and wide The light that scorched the sand So bright so long I'm never coming back
