This is simply amazing. I can't get over it. When Charity starts to smile during the song i just melt and die in the best way possible. What a wonderful song and performance.
Ok I literally can't stop listening to/watching this and I swear to god every single time it nearly brings me to tears this is so beautiful I can't even handle it
Frak! I mean... FRAK! I am utterly amazed. I just love the way they sing and how they kind of give each other looks like, "Are we really sounding this good?" Beautiful... Makes me wish I could sing and had any friends who liked the same music I do to sing with.
"Josh McBride" Came to the cold just to see you Standing there in expectation Woolen coat and blue eyes staring Oh this vision does me good In the city we don't know yet Cross the bridges not yet burned Where the ice won't let us further Wind our way down through the woods Take me to the attic ladder In the barn with broken floors With your boots of Spanish leather And my hat knit out of yarn My hat knit out of yarn You are in the seat beside me You are in my dreams at night You are in grandmother's wisdom You are in grandfather's charm Show me young trees in the orchard With the music on their branches Keep them from the mouths of creatures Who intend for them no good Take me out past the windbreak Speak the thing you could not utter Wind will howl and moon will cower At the magic of the word Oh, oohohohoooh Oh, ohoh, Ohohoh, ohoh Darling this is when I met you For the third time, not the last Not the last time we are learning Who we are and what we would You are in the seat beside me And you are in my dreams at night You are in grandmother's wisdom And you are in grandfather's charm
I wish I had people in my life that were important and beautiful enough to write and sing about. Until then, I'll just listen to songs like this one and borrow the emotions streaming through, into my ears, as my own.
I think it's completely excellent how the color of the whole video is really warm at the begginning and through the first chorus, a cloud rolls over, or the camera man makes a mistake with the white balance or something, but the color goes very dark. It's so articsticly done it drives me mad
I'll never forget the first time I saw/heard this. This is the version I replayed over and over. When I hear it on Spotify, for example, I hum when she would hum.
LYRICS: Came to the cold just to see you Standing there in expectation Pulling coat and blue eyes staring Oh, this vision does me good. In the city we don't know yet Across the bridges not yet burned Where the ice won't let us further Wind our way down through the woods. Take me to the attic ladder In the barn with broken floors With your boots of spanish leather And my hat knit out of yarn And my hat knit out of yarn. You are in the seat beside me You are in my dreams at night You are in grandmother's wisdom You are in grandfather's charm. Show me your trees in the orchard With the music on their branches Keep them from the mouths of creatures Who intend for them no good. Take me out past the wind break Speak the thing you could not utter, When we'll howl and moon will cower At the magic of the word. Oh, oh. Darling this is when I met you. For the third time not the last Not the last time we are learning Who we are and what we were. You are in the seat beside me You are in my dreams at night You are in grandmother's wisdom You are in grandfather's charm.
This is by far the most amazing video I have ever seen. The Head and the Heart has constantly continued to impress me ever since a teacher of mine introduced them to me last year. Now they do this and completely blow my mind yet again. Cheers to you oh small Seattle band!!
Love this kind of videos :) it shows completely the talent of the artist, and that they use what they have around like a river, nature, a simple street and makes the video very artistic. Schöne Grüße von München ;)
Beautiful song, although I prefer the studio recorded version, but this is an amazing group and this is one of many excellent songs on "Let's Be Still," a terrific album. Saw them live this past summer and it was a blast, they did great live. Excited they're working on a new album. Go THATH!
loved this song. bit thrown by the boots of Spanish leather reference at 1:32. made it feel like a song built from other songs (ie Dylan's boots of Spanish leather) rather than a song built from life. but still beautiful.
