whenever i get into a song of his i'm convinced its the best song i've ever heard, then i find another song of his and that one becomes the best song i've ever heard. It's a nice cycle.
It's the Isbell cycle. I've yet to find another artist who has the ability to incapacitate me in less than 4 minutes so fucking often. He's a master. We're lucky we live in the same timeline as him.
Im at that exact stage with this song right now. "Last of my kind" is what sold me on him and over the last year or so i find another song that i think can't be topped.
Every. God. Damned. Song of his has an epic fucking line. Discovered him a few years back and played everything he's ever done in a constant loop. About a year later I started listening to different stuff off and on. Now i can't wait for a new album.
Super late to the Jason Isbell party. Beyond late. Now that I'm here, I'm not leaving. Found this song while trying to find one of my fave DBT tunes. DBT who? Yah, I'm hooked.
Damn, it’s now Aug of 2020, and “I ain’t really falling asleep, I’m fading to black” remains one of my favorite lyrics of all time! Jason looks like shit here, but still performs like he’s heaven sent. I know I’m partial, but his would be the first face on a Mt. Rushmore of this generation’s songwriters. He can say so much in very few words & can lyrically paint a picture that creates a picture of the song & leave you feeling like you’ve actually watched a video.
He's in rough shape here and in the midst of his battle with alcoholism/addiction but as always he put on an amazing show and every word came right from his heart. He's been sober for years now and Amanda Shires killed his goddamn lonely love.
I wish this Jason never got married. We would have gold sad tunes for years to come. No matter how unlikable he becomes, I still respect the man. I hate liking him sometimes.
I'm jealous. So jealous! What... 25 people in the audience? Wow.. Imagine being in that audience, with that acoustic guitar, that song, that lyric, that talent?!! Sooooooo jealous! Wish I was there!!
This song made me a DbT fan, and a fan of all that followed. I bought some of their discs, largely because I wanted to update my musical tastes in my mid 40s, and on my way to the checkout with Killers and My chemical Romance CDs, I saw the Gangstabilly cd, with the hilarious poster art and bought it. Real good, Steve McQueens a cool song. So I bought some more from amazon, and ripped to my iPod. So, I’m raking the lawn and this came on, and I’m standing there thinking about the girl, and the motel room in Wyoming, when I was wild, and who I became, hitting replay over again. Just standing there with my rake for 20 minutes. I’ve been a huge fan since.
Agree with you. This is THE definitive version of this tune… done at the height of his personal struggle. You can’t sing that darkness… you feel it and bleed it.
This makes me sad and happy at the same time. To know that he was in such a bad place when he wrote this song and when this was recorded. Its great seeing him now, he looks so much healthier.
Late to the party. Discovered this song from an unlikely source ... the TV series "Billions". Kudos to the music director at Showtime network. Mesmerizing.
I sit here, astounded, watching Isbell play this beautiful song in completely stunned disbelief. I've heard a few of his songs and thoroughly enjoyed them but, truth be told, I had never delved deeply enough into his catalog or other works for that matter. I stumbled across this song sometime last year and fell in love with it. I was bored tonight, waiting for my friends to hop on discord, when I decided to look up a live performance of the song only to fine Mr. Isbell upon a stage performing it. I was blown away, and after a quick googling, to confirm the truths my eyes were seeing, I've fallen for this song even more. So freaking cool lol
I love and miss THIS Jason. This is the guy that blew my mind when I first found him. He’ll always be amazing, but THIS Jason will always be my all time favorite
It's amazing to compare this to versions from just two years later after rehab. I know some people put the tortured artist on a pedestal, but I prefer an artist who sounds - and is - healthy.
Holy shit - this song is sad, beautiful and awesome all in one - nearly cried on first hearing - on second listen I did cry. Gonna have to learn this acoustic version for open mics 🎶🎙🎸🍺
Certainly one of the best country pop rock songs I've heard. I like so few songs from country land. Sometimes a Neil Young song. Justine Townes Earl and a couple other.
I love how when he got kicked out of drive by truckers he went on a road trip through the South on his motorcycle. Visiting girls he met on the road. Drinking like a fish I imagine. Sounds super romantic to me. Glad he sobered up though.
I think is one of the best songs ever wrote I think of my wife over seas she's a captain in the military this is for my soulmate and beautiful wife Paula niccum I love u honey
Sounds great to me. Can't wait to see him in concert at a small theater in August. What brand of a guitar is he playing? Anybody know? Sure sounds good to me.
I don’t really know how I’d type tabs out on here but I can explain it. From the A minor chord strike the D string and slide down to the 7th, then hit the d string, b string, d again then G. Then take your ring finger and strike the 8th fret of the low e, then d and G again then using the resonance from the low e slide back up with your ring finger to the root of the g on the 3rd fret of the low e
@@jasonisbell7390 Going through a probable breakup now and learning this song on my Taylor is way better for me than our couples therapist. That Cm cuts me to the marrow. Thank you. I'll take all of what you got.
The verse is (Am, C, G) x3 Then D at "take a Greyhound", C, Cm, G at "everything a home is made up of", and the bridge is (Em, C G, D) x3, Am, C, then hold Cm for 6 bars, then D, Am, C, Cm, G, and back to the verse. He's throwing in some cool passing chords here, but that's the basic structure. Beautiful song.
