José González - Cycling Trivialities (Live on KEXP) 

One of the greatest songs ever,I don't say that lightly

I shed a tear when his voice blends in with his guitar

Jose doesn't make music, he makes magic.

Listening to the song was euphoric but playing his song on my guitar... no words best decribe that feeling. The rhythm is so magical...

My life needed this.

Saw Jose Gonzalez live at Green Man last weekend and I now I can't stop thinking about this song. Such a talent, so beautiful. His hands, his voice, his lyrics! Long may you continue to make music for us all.

If I could live inside this song with a warm blanket and hot tea I would never leave!!!

It's way better than the record version. His voice sounds light but it's deep.

Guitar skills from another galaxy and the voice- oh my! Imagine Jose bedtime stories to his kids! Profound lyrics. Thank you Sony for using his music back in the early 2000s for Sony Bravia TV ads- that's how I stumbled upon most cool music through ad music!

My hair grows back. My eyes can see again. My homework is all done. My life is complete... Thank you Mr Gonzalez 😍

That build up right before 3:05 that leads into the heavy part gives me freaking chills! Sounds so damn heavy just for a dude playing guitar and tapping his foot. He always has a driving rythem is his songs. I play bass and that's huge for me. He's incredible.

I'm addicted to this song, I think I need help. Just one more time...

Can't really describe the beauty of this song. Goosebumps. Thank you 💚

Its just one of those perfect songs...its so hard to be a perfect song, and this is one of them..

So many years have passed since I've been listening to this song; and ever got tired of it

He's right. What will be remembered of us and our work, our lives 100 years from now? The beauty and wonder is that we are here...now.

This is simply brilliant.

I am very slow to say that something is amazing, but this is surely one of the best things I have heard in my entire life. There are no words to describe something that is out of our dimensions ...

A profound and hauntingly beautiful song about the meaninglessness of life. Puts things into perspective for me... "Who cares in a hundred years from now, Who'll remember all the players, Who'll remember all the clowns.... So what does this really mean, When it all comes down, cycling trivialities..."

Excellent on so many levels, but his articulation is particularly brilliant

Beautiful!

Crazy how profound his lyrics are and English isn't even his first language

Still listening, hits harder with everything going on. We will get through these cycling trivialities.. 🤙🏻 💙

I replayed this song like 100x today lol

Some people play music, some people are music, lyrics and melody just make my soul feel better

The best song of Jose.

Such a moving performance.

Gold in music form

Reading the comment and more than few people saying that it’s a sad song.. it doesn’t feel sad to me, it feels to me like an acceptance of the cyclic nature and the patterns we get stuck in and then a fresh look, “so what’s it gonna be?”. I get there are a twinges of sadness in the lyrics, but it doesn’t feel depressing or hopeless to me.

Jose on the meaning "I knew I wanted to sing about when you get caught in trivialities and you can’t see past your own horizon, and basically how you can make things seem bigger and more difficult than they really are. Almost sentimental, the lyrics …I mean its more of an observation, and also not…Almost like complaining about yourself and how you can get stuck in small things, and how you want to change that."

Mad love for his music

Such brilliant music! Thank you.

4:00 that's when the tears breakthrough. Otherworldly beauty

Καταπληκτικός καλλιτέχνης,αυτή η κιθάρα... Μπράβο!

wow.. such a beautiful song! Thank you for that

Como ciclo viajero quiero decir que RE-AMO este tema! 😍

Maravilhoso, cara! Que música!

Idk why this song makes me cry so much

His music is magic 💛

thank you und thank you KEXP

Love this song

You had me at your first note, you are great José González!

Pure Blissful sounds, takes me back to 2006 when life felt natural and good for me. Peace x

BASTANO UNA BELLA VOCE E UNA CHITARRA BEN SUONATA PER RIEMPIRE LE ORECCHIE DI OTTIMA MUSICA.

Amo essa música

Obrigada Kaike, essa música me acalmou da ansiedade. Obrigada mesmo. 💙

New Amsterdam brought me here ❤️

what a beautiful piece of art.

3:04 on makes every hair on my body stand straight up. Absolutely incredible! His music has literally healed my mental state more than a few times.

Wow! I love this song.

One of the few times where I prefer the live version over the studio recording.

I'm seeing him in St Louis soon. Can't freaking wait!

My best song when i want to think about us...wish us the best luck ;)

there is a version with Jose playing with the String Theory orchestra of Germany, also very well done.

endless inspiration

Just an amazing song.

Perfection.

BEAUTIFUL LYRICISM.

José, soundtrack to a life

Beautiful song

Still shining.... Cycling trivialities.... Make peace and got it

¡Qué bueno!

Pure right hand magic.

Outstanding truely beautiful

Esta canción me flipa! It makes me feel so...sets me right :)

Come again to Chile!

Who tf dislikes something like this?? I mean this is wonderful?!!🤷🏼‍♀️

HE IS BEAUTIFUL

Very very good. It reminds me to Mr. Miladin Šobić, one of for me best musicians in the world.

Muy Bien

Too blind to know your best Hurrying through the forks without regrets Different now, every step feels like a mile All the lights seem to flash and pass you by So how?s it gonna be When it all comes down, cycling trivialities But don't know which way to turn Every trifle becoming big concerns All this time you were chasing dreams Without knowing what you wanted them to mean So how's it gonna be When it all comes down, cycling trivialities So how's it gonna be When it all comes down, cycling trivialities Who cares in a hundred years from now All your small steps, all your shitty clouds Who cares in a hundred years from now Who'll remember all the players Who'll remember all the clowns So how's it gonna be When it all comes down, cycling trivialities So what does this really mean When it all comes down, cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities Cycling trivialities

voice of a god

mo salah is such a good singer, i love him

❤️

I met a traveller from an antique land...

💙

Really like when he starts hitting that low (top) string hard. Really adds intensity.

um dia matta ouvira

-Tuning: DADABE / Capo 2 (may break string tuning from G to A) -Alternate Tuning: CGCGAD / Capo 4 -Picking sequence from top down NOTE FINGER E (D) P (Thumb) D (D) 1 (Index) G (A) 2 (Middle) B (B) 3 (Ring) D (D) 1 (Index) G (A) 2 (Middle) *Don't know chords very well, new to guitar. **D'Addario 11>52 80/20 bronze didn't break☺️

At least I found it!

wow

This song effected me so strongly that I felt I had to do a version of it. It's an alternate version with a lot of layers. It's the latest video in my channel. Please check it out if Josés song has moved you.

any other recommendation to similar this awesome song?

a los gringos presentes tan maravillados por su "estilo unico".- haganse un favor y escuchen a Silvio Rodrigues

Wow tão parecido com o estilo de música do Nick Drake. Incrível!

Has anyone made tabs for this yet? I would really appreciate it

Now I'm kind of curious whose that one dislike is :)

Sublime, mais quand j'essaie de la jouer avec le capo en 2e ou en 4e frette ça sonne hyper faux. J'ai vérifié mon accordage (classique Mi La Ré Sol Si Mi) normalement c'est ok. Faut-il accorder sa guitare autrement ?

The interesting thing about José is he actually comes from another planet, where they teach children to fingerpick before they're allowed to walk. Also, this is possibly one of the greatest songs ever written.

What tuning does he use in the guitar to play it?

Fuckin gorgeous

Can someone do a tutorial of this song, I just got a guitar and want this to be my first song.

Voice/guitar

What tuning is that?
