40 years. That's how long we were married. Now he's gone. I lost my husband to cancer. "I hope it's not me who's left behind." But here I am. Alone . We always think it will just keep going on, but someone usually has to leave first. I was lucky. I had someone who lived me unconditionally. It's what sustains me now. Don't take each other for granted. Say 'I love you. I'm sorry. I'm here for you.' Love freely. That's my advice.
We had almost 44 years; missed our 44th anniversary by 4 months to the day. I agree with your words; kindness, forgiveness, I'm sorry, frequent words of love and admiration, appreciation, avoiding anger, especially petty anger for little to no reason, which is such a waste of precious time. I miss him more than I can barely stand, it's so, so hard; I don't know how I belong, or where I belong, or if I belong anymore. It is a strange existence to be here alone, for how long who knows. It's life altering, devastating, but, here we are. I wish you peace and comfort as you heal.❤
I just lost my fiance 12 days ago. I've never had anyone love me the way she loved me. I never had to question her love. The feeling I got from her love was unlike anything I'd ever felt. I thought I had found love once before her but once I fell for her, I realized there was no comparison. She was the most honest and caring person I've ever met. I've been completely crushed by this. A part of me died when she passed. Now I'm just going through the motions. On April 23, 2021, my whole world stopped. Now I feel I'm stuck in this terrible moment while the rest of the world moves on. RIP Brandi Roy
Her spirit will always be with you 💕 Love like that never goes away, it just takes a different form. The world needs more people that are capable of love this pure, and it is a better place with you in it. I believe that one day you'll see her again. Until that day, walk the path, remember what she taught you, and spread that love to as many as you can. You are not alone. Stay strong and take care my friend.
The only way to get through the pain is to live each day earning that kind of love she gave you. The only to earn it is by loving others that very same way. Loving others that way will inevitably bring future pain. But dont worry...you can do it. She showed you how.
I felt like I was reading my own words. I lost my husband of 4 years on April 28,2021 our two year wedding anniversary was on the 27th. He is an over the road truck driver and was on his way to Colorado when he had to work on the truck and the cab fell on him and pinned him and he began his new journey. I say out loud often like Mathew is dead I’m NEVER going to get to talk to him ever again. It’s just so unbelievable to me because he is so strong, my Popeye is what I always call him
I hope you can find solace in the love you shared and the memories. Sometimes that's all we're allowed. I lost my brother at 42, and every day is a struggle. My heart bleeds for you.
Every time I read this, Robert, I think about you and your Tracy... And I think about me and my Tara, and how one of us will eventually be like you. And I'm really sorry!
About a year after my mom died, my dad and I were sitting in the backyard and he just broke down crying and told me he felt so alone without her. It was heartbreaking. I used to just sit back in amazement how much he always cherished her. They are together now.
The context is more amazing. The song as a whole ties that line together into something beautiful. Not to take away from your comment because you're right in a way, but my opinion is the line is amazing because the rest of the lyrics carry so much weight.
Since the moment I heard this line, 'maybe time running out is a gift' it's echoed it my soul. I believe death is indeed a gift. To have had love, to have love, to give love, to have kissed love, and to have missed love. A blessing, a gift, an ache that is a privilege to feel. To know we have loved that deeply, or to have been loved deeply. How absolutely beautiful!!
Thats the truth! The price is very, very high, but worth every tear.....and there are endless buckets of those! Just when you think you can't possibly cry any more tears, that you are dried up, along comes Jason Isbell to prove me wrong! Good grief, here they come, every time I listen to this beautifully written song. He is a gifted story teller, no doubt. My late husband would definitely agree; enjoying music was something we did for almost 44 years. It has taken me over 4 years to even be able to listen to any music because of the trauma of losing him, but I figured I may as well get it over with and start with a master at his craft!
I have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an always fatal lung disease, that gives you about 3 to 5 years after diagnosis. I heard this song yesterday, and have listened about ten more times. I tried to get my husband to listen, but sadly, he didn't seem interested. It's a beautiful song. I'll add it to my "celebration of life" playlist.
@@marymem9864I can sort of understand his resistance. It’s a beautiful song, but it might actually hit him ‘too hard’ right at this moment. I’m wishing the longest possible life and love to everyone here. 😢
This song has caused me to revaluate my actions in my marriage and those things that I allow to divide us. Life is too short, and love is too important. I want my wife to have a long and full life, but I do hope that she leaves me behind. I don't want her to have to navigate this place alone.
Yes, life is too short for divisions. I always hoped I'd go to the other side before him because I knew I couldn't stand a life without him. 25 years later I was strong enough to let him go. Been a widow for 20 years now.
Lyric : It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in Or the light coming off of your skin The fragile heart you protected for so long Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong It's not your hands searching slow in the dark Or your nails leaving love's watermark It's not the way you talk me off the roof Your questions like directions to the truth It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone Or one day you'll be gone If we were vampires and death was a joke We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke And laugh at all the lovers and their plans I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand Maybe time running out is a gift I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift And give you every second I can find And hope it isn't me who's left behind It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone Or one day you'll be gone It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone One day you'll be gone
I lost both to my parents to cancer with in 3 years of each other . They spent 40 years + together but when my mom died my father gave up . I hear so much of what he told me in those 3 years about how he felt about my mom in this song . I listen to it 3 times and have yet to get thru it with out tears . This is the mark of a true craftsman at his art when they can punch you in the heart with words . Thank you Mr Isbell for the tears !
I just lost my husband after 40 years together and feel like this song was written for me. There is a hard truth in the line, "maybe time running out is a gift." If you know that the life of the person you love will be abbreviated, you will tell them everything you feel for them every day that you have together, so nothing is left unsaid when the last day comes. We should do that anyway. You can never know when the person you love will be snatched from you. You want them to know how much they are loved before it is too late to tell them.
All those things you worry about leaving unsaid? If your love was true, and it certainly appears it was, they weren't unsaid, they simply weren't spoken aloud. The loved one still heard them, and understood.
I am very sorry for the loss of your husband; I feel your sorrow and grief, as I lost my husband 4 months to the day before our 44th anniversary; yesterday would have been 48 years. I actually remember feeling comforted in knowing that nothing of any meaning was left unsaid between us; not one thing. In the darkest moments of my grief, when I wasn't sure that I could stay here without him, feeling totally drenched by the grief, I found comfort knowing that he never had to wonder if I loved him, and I never had to wonder either; he said it and showed me every day; when he lost his ability to speak or write, I could see it in his beautiful eyes, when I was trying to memorize his face, as if I could ever forget it. But our time running out was a gift for him; he was finally at peace, without pain; I try to honor his bravery by having hope. It is my wish that 2 years later, this finds you with much hope, peace, and serenity in your healing. This is a long journey we are on, and I hope you are feeling joy again, as he would want for you to.❤
I took a few minutes to read the comments. The effect this song has on people is amazing. This song is a gift to people. It encompasses so many emotions in words maybe we didn't know how to express. Thank you Jason Isbell.
@Joy Miller Bless your little heart! Now you made me cry!! I hadn't heard this song till I saw Unit 400 (?) play it live on an NBC morning news show THIS morning! Isn't it strange the things we get attached to, the things that "move" us!? It's like bringing humility and humanity to the table! Loads of empathy make us more sensitive, more in tune with life. Glad you pulled over!! Be safe, even more so in the world at this particular time!
@@zombieagogojr it sucks to tie a memory to a song like this then things don't work out. Trust me I know man. I'll just say this im pissed that after 10 years to find out on 10th anniversary that I wasted Thank You by Led Zeppelin as the song we danced to at our wedding. Music has powerful meaning to me but some people only hear with their ears not their heart and soul. I'm just here listening to this on way home so I can redo my version from a week or so ago . Blew my voice out up all night learning to play note for note and sing it for my voice to shit out when I was confident to record and upload it for somebody who requested it and I hope understands i only uploaded blown voice version just to show i got it and will make it better. Will see later if they really give a shit. Check it out if you want on my channel but singing is fucked. New version will be up soon I hope. I'm down tunning guitar right now.
I'm a grown ass 40 year old man who has done hard labor my whole life. This song made me fucking cry when I actually listened to the lyrics. I love my wife so damn much, I hope I pass away before she does because I just cannot imagine a world without her by my side. Thanks Isbell, you made me feel like a pussy for a short moment.
My mom passed away 3 days ago at 42😢 I've always loved this song and I know its about a married couple but it means so much more to me than it ever has before
Im sorry :/ lost mine around the same age. Losing a mom is so difficult. It has been a few years since she passed, and I will tell you that you will never stop missing her. Never. It will always feel as intense. The only relief is that the missing moments will be less frequent as time goes on.
Hey man, I can kinda relate to your pain, I'm currently losing mine, she's currently 46 and stuck in bed, her MS has become progressive and we doubt she will get better, I fear for her life and my father's future, it pains me to see family be struck down like this and I've just been showed this song by my father, it couldn't be more perfect
@@chestfarter4207 im sorry to hear that id love to say it gets easy with time gods know I wish it was true but after time has past from when I first commented it still hurts things happen to me during the day and I rush to tell her but she's gone but you just got to accept it and move never forget your dead but don't forget the living as well don't forget or neglect them cause they love you to and no amount of weed or alcohol will bring them back so don't try, im being straight up no sugar coating
My grandfather passed away last week, one of the best men I've known. So sweet, so optimistic, and so caring. Me and my mom were driving to Chicago to his funeral, and I was shuffling music, and this came up. I heard the first few lines, and instantly I started crying, and my mom did too. We both were just crying in the car, listening to this song. It was a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Everytime I listen to it I tear up, and every time I listen to it, I think of him. I love you Papa
This song for me has become deeply associated with the loss of my grandfather as well. My grandmother is the one left behind right now, trying to figure out how to navigate this life/ world without her partner of 67+ years. Similar to you, my grandfather was the best man (human, really) I've ever known (and possibly ever will now). My brother directed me towards this song in the wake of my grandfather's passing, and it truly fit the situation. Such a heartbreakingly beautiful gift of a song. Sending thoughts of comfort and peace your way as you cope with your loss.
I had 21 years with my amazing husband. I truly believe we would grow old together. Had to say goodbye to him 2 months ago. I love you so much my love.
"Someone once told me that time is a predator that seeks to destroy us. But I like to think that time is a friend that reminds us not to take things for granted because they will never happen again. After all we are but only mortal." Captain Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation
I always wanted this kind of music to be played on Star Trek and get the crews reaction. I remember Picard was fascinated by the written records of a village scribe on a type 0 planet.
This is going to be one of those songs that I love but can’t listen to. Married 25 years. He’s retired (police) due to serious health problems. So yeah. I’ll be saving this one for the days I need to cry.
It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in Or the light coming off of your skin The fragile heart you protected for so long Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong It's not your hands searching slow in the dark Or your nails leaving love's watermark It's not the way you talk me off the roof Your questions like directions to the truth It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone Or one day you'll be gone If we were vampires and death was a joke We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke And laugh at all the lovers and their plans I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand Maybe time running out is a gift I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift And give you every second I can find And hope it isn't me who's left behind It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone Or one day you'll be gone It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone One day you'll be gone
We had a few months shy of 40 years together. Now he's gone. We loved the outdoors and Harleys. They say every tear is a treasure, because you had something good to lose. I am just lost.
This song hits so close to home with me. I almost passed earlier this year, and my wife and I had our 40th anniversary in October. I almost left her alone. Dying doesn't frighten me, what does is leaving her in a mess. I've gotten my health under control, hopefully we'll have another 40 years together.
I say, "I love you." To my wife each night before bed. If she dies before for me and I am in bed alone I will know I never missed one. This song makes me think of that.
My dad plays the guitar, he’s been playing this song as long as I can remember, he’d always sit down in the kitchen, pick in hand, while he sung with my mother, i would just sit on the ground and watch them in awe. I’m a teenager now, we’re a bit distant, he’s working hard on building his own office, my mom currently works from home, but she wants to do more, we don’t really have time to hang out anyone, I usually spend my time in my room writing, I’m currently writing my own song about some of my personal struggles, even though I’ve been writing songs since I was a kid, I sing and play the drums, but I’ve always been a sucker for acoustic guitar, back when he had to the time we would sit in the car and he’d always play Jason Isbell or Billy Joel, which my grandpa used to play with him in the car, anytime I hear either of them I think of him. I miss being a kid. This song always makes me cry.
It's beautiful that you had a relationship with your dad like that. Perhaps he doesn't realize how much you miss him. Let him know! Sometimes we parents don't realize how much our teens still need us. At that age, we tend to think you'd rather not have old mom or dad around as much. It's nice that you realize that your parents' time away is bc they're working hard to build a better life for your family. Just ask for a few minutes of time in the car to play & sing together. Let him know you've been missing him & his much that time has meant to you in the past. I'm sure it will make his day!
*It's knowing that this can't go on forever* *Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone* *Maybe we'll get forty years together* *But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone* Lyrics that ring true and break my heart. My love and I had more than 30 years together and we both knew due to his health the last decade, that he would likely be the first to leave. Still nothing can prepare a person for the reality of losing your best friend, lover, partner and husband. With his hand in mine and my heart on his chest I heard his heart beat for the last time. He's still with me and I know we'll be together again when the time is meant to be. But life is very different when you lose the one who held your heart.
This is such a beautiful and meaningful song. I lost the love of my life just shy of our 40 years together. This song brings up so many memories and feelings. Thank you
I'm so sorry, SandraBevr; I share your feelings, as I lost my husband shortly before our 44th anniversary; it's as if we have been thrown out in the street, belonging nowhere, and with nowhere to go! It's such a lost feeling, I truly wasn't sure if I could stay here without my husband; I'm sure that you know what I mean when I say that I didn't even remember me before him. Before "us"; if I was no longer Mrs. Him, than what was I?! It's such an indescribable feeling of not belonging anywhere; at least that's how I felt. I hope that things are getting better for you; I hope you have found some peace and serenity in your healing.❤
My husband came home today and told me that he heard the saddest sing today. He shared this song with me. Little does he know I pray he goes first, so that he won’t be left alone suffering. I think about this a lot. I love him so much!
I think about this too… men aren’t as strong as women emotionally… they seem to give up when the woman goes. I am sick, and I know he will probably outlive me, but I hope to god he doesn’t. I would rather him die with me there than me die with him there. I want him to be meeting me at the gates waiting for my arrival.
@@ThatGothicArtist Know that whichever of you goes first, the other will be there to greet you with open arms, and a joyous embrace! I so anxiously await the day I'm re-united with my beloved wife, to spend eternity in paradise. Still here after 5+ years. So very long....
@Jason Isbell Sir- A good friend of mine sent me this song of yours a few days after my beloved wife of 34 years "crossed over" in July, 2017. I cannot TELL you how many times I've played it, I wind up bawling like a baby each time. After a couple of years, I began "binge playing" "Tired of traveling alone" when I thought I might be ready to "start a new chapter". Truth be told, I wasn't ready then. I've since accepted that I will NEVER be ready. Just "biding my time". Thank you for the beauty you bring to this old world.
One hour ago I lost 2 of my dearest friends of 40 some years to covid. They were put in the same room placed there hands together and removed them of of the ventilator's. RIP Billy and Donna, I will never forget you and will always love you guys. My baby girl sent me this song, it touched home.
This song is a wake up call. I have had 47 years with my wife so far, I can’t tell how much longer we might have. So i’m just trying to be kinder to my only love.
The universe guided me to Jason's Isbell and Sturgill Simpson's music. Tyler Childers too. I've battled with addiction, crippling anxiety, and the loss of my baby boy and I have found hope and comfort through music. Anybody struggling out there, I understand. You are all in my prayers
I've been in the same situation. Even down to losing a baby boy. Jason Isbell and Whiskey Myers have been my two life savers. YOU are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sturghill brought me here and he brought me to look at life in the turtles all the way down type of way. I'm glad the universe brings us together in this comment. Walk in light brother.
I've been trying to learn this song but I can't get through it without choking up. There's something about the line "I wouldn't find the need to hold your hand" that gets me every time
The trick is the guitar is tuned down a whole step (DGCFAD). Then play the regular chord shapes for Em Bm / C for the first part of the verse and Em / G / Em / G D for the second part. The chorus is C / G / C / G D / C / Em D / C / G D. The little melodies he adds in can be found using the 2nd and 3rd frets of the top three strings.
Literally best song lyrics ever. Period. I never even thought of this situation as the topic of a song. Now having recently lost my mom it brings a special meaning. I cannot imagine what my dad is going through and cannot imagine loss myself after 18 years of marriage and counting. To all the partners out there that truly live for love ❤
maybe time running out is a gift i´ll work hard til the end of my shift and give you every second i can find and hope it isn´t me who´s left behind that fucking hurts a lot
My Goodness Jason. You and the ,400 Unit , even though I have recently stumbled upon y'all, about a year I reckon. Since the unimaginable tragic loss of greats like Charlie Pride, and John Prime and so many others..I feared we'd not have us any more GREAT storyteller.. thank you for bringing it with that down home style, and real insight into life's curve balls .
This song winds its way deep down inside a place I've tried to get rid of, or at least deny; the longing for another human to share my life with. Being alone should be enough, shouldn't it? I'm no longer young, and the feeling that lays me flat is that it will always be like this. However, it isn't my story that stands out. It's all the stories in this comment section.
A year ago, I shared this song with my amazing partner after she returned from summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro at the age of 62. We had met after we both turned 60. I was widowed, and she had never married. She found the lyrics equally poignant and said, "This is our song." Six months later, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died in 3 months. It was a brief and brutal battle. There was no way we could have predicted how the powerful lyrics of this song would apply to our own relationship. How I wish we could have had 40 years together.
As you describe her, its like you have a huge precious jewel in your hands, i can see the glow. To have known this beautiful love has been such a blessing. Obviously bringing out the best in you. Honor it by striving to live on , hopefully with purpose and success. And God will bless you again perhaps, with another soul mate
What a special gift Jason Isbell has. For me personally no one can touch his lyrical ability. His melodic sense is incredible too but damn his words...
I lost the only love of my life 7 months ago. So miss him and punched a huge whole in my heart. Feel half a person. We played musical instruments and recorded cd's. So I started playing when we were vampires 1 day ago. It resonates with me and I'm playing it like I knew it for a long time. Yes, cherish every moment, because he is gone and someday I'll be gone. He left me a musical legacy.
This song is an emotional gauntlet that destroys me every time but keeps me coming back for more. Lyrically, one of the most beautiful songs ever written IMO.
Been a huge fan since his DBT days. This song just kills me: "Maybe we'll have 40 years together, but one day I'll be gone and one day you'll be gone." Heartbreaking!
I loved her, and she knew it. She loved me, and I knew. We thought we would be together for the rest of out lives. Unfortunately, we were only half right. I love you. I miss you.
My dad is dying of cancer after 40 years with my mom. I'm still figuring out how we're going to brave this. I found this song just in time. Thank you. 💞
Of course this song makes me cry thinking about my husband. But recently, it's made me think of my friend Blue. The dog who has been loyal down to his bones all these years. He's still first at the door to protect us from dangers outside but lately there's been a bit more hobble in his step. His snout is going grey. I love him with all my heart and it will be an absolute sledge hammer when the cosmic winds take him away. Tonight, I'm not gonna snap at him to get off the bed. I will pull him in and cuddle him, and return an 1/8th of the love he has given me.
This song always makes me cry. Wish I had that 40 yrs with a person. Just wasnt meant for me I guess. The whole love thing. So I think of my father instead. Who passed away 6/13/10. We didn't get 40 yrs.
Lyrics It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in Or the light coming off of your skin The fragile heart you protected for so long Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong It's not your hands searching slow in the dark Or your nails leaving love's watermark It's not the way you talk me off the roof Your questions like directions to the truth It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone Or one day you'll be gone If we were vampires and death was a joke We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke And laugh at all the lovers and their plans I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand Maybe time running out is a gift I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift And give you every second I can find And hope it isn't me who's left behind It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone Or one day you'll be gone It's knowing that this can't go on forever Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone Maybe we'll get forty years together But one day I'll be gone One day you'll be gone
My no. 1 favorite Isbell song. This song hurts right in the center of my chest thinking of what I've lost, but it's not the end... just another hard beginning. Perhaps my vampire is out there.
I'm gonna cut my story short: few years ago I met my husband after I moved overseas to escape an abusive narcissistic man-child. I had no intent of getting in another relationship when I moved to a different continent I only wanted to start my life alone but few months later I met the most amazing man ever. He swept me off my feet. I didn't believe in the concept of soulmates before I met him. We married 4 months after we started dating and have been together for 5 years. There were nights I couldnt sleep from crippling anxiety about us being separated by death. I shared my fears with my husband and how I wish sometimes I had just stayed in my country then we wouldn't have fallen in love maybe 😂 he says he would rather have me for however long we are supposed to live than not having ever met me🥺 He is the love of my life, he treats me like a queen each day, he makes me happy to be alive and be by his side. I can't imagine my life without him😭we have beautiful babies and a wonderful marriage. I'm pretty sure if the Lord takes him before me I will follow him shortly coz I'll die of heartbreak 💔 💔💔💔 maybe we will get 40 years together 🙏
Don't worry so much about things that haven't happened over which you have no control; just be grateful that you found your perfect person because you moved to a different country, and enjoy the time that you have together. I lost my husband of 43 years, 5 years ago, and it has been really hard trying to understand my life without him, but I have our beautiful and loving daughter and our loving sil, and our 2 grandchildren, and I miss my precious husband every day, but I'm doing better, and I'll be ok. It's the price we pay for having lived such a beautiful love story. Not everyone is lucky enough to ever know what it's like, but you do; I do; just be happy and enjoy every day and always be good to each other. I wish you a long and wonderful life together.❤
My husband just sent me this song and wow. We have been through lots of deaths of loved ones and many trials. I'm so thankful to finally have True Love and I pray we get to be together for the rest of our lives.
Part of what makes this song so good to me is that, I know it’s right despite how much I want it to be wrong. If I could have me and my girlfriend live forever, never having to lose one another, I would. I know he’s right that life isn’t meant to go one forever and that’s what makes love such a gift, is how fleeting it is but the thought of living without her is honestly mortifying. I mean, I’ve had those late nights, sitting blazed and dreading the day that one of my parents die. I know life isn’t meant to last forever but I’m not ready to deal with loss and I don’t think I ever will be. I’d rather it just never came.
It was two months and two days ago. It was cancer that took her, too fast to do anything but fall for a month from the hospital into hospice and the end of her life and mine. It's still hard to see the 22 years prior where we lived our lives like grafted trees, intertwining and sustaining each other, growing into a shared shape as we faced life as a team. I do not know how to live, but I know she would want me to.
Although this is romantic and true to intimate communication.. it has such a place for expressing universal love within human relationships. The tones of acceptance of mortality and appreciation of the moment are paramount... it resonates with me
You know if you were a vampire and heard this song you would seek out this thing they call death just to see what he meant but being a mortal we know all too well. We just forget sometimes and need a reminder.
I'm currently reading Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover & there's a part where this is playing in the background so I came to listen & between the book, the song & the hauntingly beautiful comments from people who have lost loved ones, I think I just might cry all night 🤧🥀
Saying that you don't like an entire genre of music is sad you are closing your self of to a lot of great music. Now most that are popular suck big time I am looking at you "body like a back road" but if you spend some time and look you will find a lot more to like
People ask what genre of music this is and I always struggle to answer. It's not country, but I don't really know what else to call it, besides Americana. Jason is an amazing storyteller, as so many of the Americana artists are as well. If you like this one, listen to Cover Me Up. I feel sure you'll love it too.
I heard this song for the first time today and was struck so deeply. The line, “I hope it isn’t me who’s left behind,” shattered my heart. I WAS the one left here without him and I am still doing my best to live everyday in a way that would make the love of my life smile 3 and a half years later.
You may no longer believe in love, but it may still believe in you! You don't know what's right around the corner! I hope you are surprised to find that love hasn't forgotten you!❤
Momento Mori. Death will come so love with your whole heart while you’re here. ♥️An absolutely gorgeous reminder and it brings me to tears EVERY time I hear it. Thank you Jason Isbell for this exquisite piece of art.
