The Barr Brothers - Even the Darkness Has Arms (Official Audio) 

Came here from Ashley’s IG story.. i don’t regret checking this out ✨

Rest in peace, my friend. The last thing you shared with me was this song. You’ll never get to read this or all of the love we all have for you. We miss you 🪶

such a relaxing song. perfect for road trips , you know when your driving alone watching the sun set.

I was holding my breath when the tightrope walker slipped into the moon glow Saying all my children, follow me Maybe it's time to go You can be chrome when you're wise You can be wise when you're blue And baby, if I have Then I have for you Bribing the jury to keep me in jail, singing "Tea for the Tillerman" And although I lie fantastically, I swore an oath on my history It's a miracle I can see You can be wrong when you're right Even when you're right on cue And if I die tonight Then I die for you Calling on those that call me son Great-grandson and grandson Great uncles, aunts, and relatives To judge what I have done Wanna make it right by you Even if it's all I do And if it's all I do Then I do it for you People will raise a whole lotta hell about the water in the windmill And although I stab chaotically It hurts no one but me Even the darkness has arms But they ain't got you And baby, I have it And I have you, too And a light in the window to pass the night through May be so uncertain but what can I do Keeping it on, keeping it on And I know I like it but what does that prove Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you I bring to you with reverent hands All the books that my love abides The kind woman that my passion wore Like the shoreline wears the tides Maybe the water went dry Keeping an eye on you And with an eye on you It could drown me, too People will raise a whole lotta hell about the water in the windmill And although I stab chaotically I swore an oath on my history It's a miracle I can see Even the darkness has arms But they ain't got you And baby, I have it And I have you, too And a light in the window to pass the night through May be so uncertain but what can I do Keeping it on, keeping it on And I know I like it but what does that prove Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you

My God, what a beautiful tune.

Love this band ,this song has a little Simon and Garfunkel vibe ,wow.

Thanks Spotify

This song is like watching old videos of people traveling to the desert , national parks and going on road trips across the US of A. 👌🏼

Incredibly talented. I'm not going to lie... at first I thought Trey was the vocals but The Barr Brothers are actually really unique once I kept listening. Wish you guys the best and hope that there's a lot more to come.

Saw them last night in London, Incredible!

It is my first time listening to their songs. I've even googled their bio because I love the sensiblity of the songs.It is quite different from the other genres that I've used to listened. And I love to play their songs when I'm about to sleep.

c'est classe ,mélodie imparable ,à découvrir en live ,magique

This song is intoxicating 😊

My favourite song of 2014 so far.

These lyrics might just be the best lyrics I've ever heard

Definitely going into rotation in my chill mix. 😌

Clear influences cited above, Simon, Knopfler, and I'll add Cat Stevens since they drop references to him in a number of their songs including this, and I definitely hear some upper register Cat in the lead vocal. Maybe when he gets some years behind him, umpteen cartons of Camels, and just keeps working on it, the lead vocal will acquire the Cat's lower register growl/purr. Can't fairly say if they have melodies quite as memorable as from those cited because I haven't listened to their whole repertoire.

Ashby brought me here. This is far from the genres of music I normally listen to, but I like this.

Gonna use this song at the end of my wedding next year!!

'Adore them. A music supreme. The young S&G.

Can't wait to hear the new album!!

Very cool. Reminds me of the great group America.

My new favorite song.

Feeling relaxed.... unbelievably beautiful

Beautiful guitar!

Radio in Nashville brought me to listening to these amazing brotherssss!

This song is for me and my love.. the love of my life.

Rest in peace, Kohi

New fave band ♥

Quality song...

J'écoute, je décolle ! Superbe talent !

This song and band is pretty freakin' awesome

Love finding great music like this out of the blue. Can anyone point me out some artists that have this sound/fit this genre?

so good

Cecile, obrigado por tudo!

the intro picking is amazing

This is very cool!

Very good, Sounds like a mix of Blue Rodeo , Bruce Cockburn & Dire Straits maybe?

Keep on Keeping on.

Awesome!

Esta canción me relaja tanto que la uso para dormir y duermo muy tranquila

2 cool for this city I'm in.

new fave band

This has Mark Knopfler influence written all over it. Not that that's a bad thing. It's certainly not.

I don't wish to cause offence...but there us a better rendition if you look for... The Barr Brothers - Even The Darkness Has Arms (Live on KEXP)

Reminds me of Bruce Cockburn's "Wondering Where The Lions Are"

Have they got a new album soon I think I'm ready?! :)

Sweet!

This is amazing.

Feels a lot like Paul Simon's work

I was holding my breath, When the tightrope walker, Slipped into the moonglow, Saying all my children follow me, Maybe it’s time to go. You can be chrome when you’re wise, Can be wise when you’re blue, And baby if I have, Then I have for you . Bribing the jury to keep me in jail, Singing tea for the Tillerman, And although I lie fantastically, I swore an oath on my history, It’s a miracle I can see. You can be wrong when you’re right, Even when you’re right on cue, And if I die tonight, Then I die for you. Calling on those that call me son, Great-grandson or grandson, Great uncles, aunts and relatives, To judge what I have done, Gonna make right by you, Even if it’s all I do, And if it’s all I do, then I do for you. People will raise a whole lotta hell, About the water and the windmill, And although I stab chaotically, It hurts no one but me, Even the darkness has arms, But it ain’t got you, Baby I have it and I have you too. And a light in the window, To pass the night through, May be so uncertain but what can I do, Keepin’ it on, keepin’ it on, And I know I like it but, What does that prove? Sometimes I worry I don’t know, How to love you. I bring to you with reverent hands, All the books that my love abides, Kind woman that my passion wore, Like the shoreline wears the tides, Maybe the water went dry, Keeping an eye on you, And with an eye on you, It could drown me too. People will raise a whole lotta hell, About the water and the windmill, And although I stab chaotically, I swore an oath on my history, It’s a miracle I can see, Even the darkness has arms, But they ain’t got you, Baby I have it and I have you too. And a light in the window, To pass the night through, May be so uncertain but what can I do, Keepin’ it on, keepin’ it on, And I know I like it but, What does that prove? Sometimes I worry I don’t know, How to love you

Perfect for road trips or watching the sun rise

power in a sligtly way, keepin it on

Love
