If not for New Amsterdam, we would not know that your music existed. Well done and so needed at this critical time in our existence. Music can actually be a "liftoff" to our spirits and our national psyche.
Alone studying in university library with this playing in my headphones just brought me to tears. A beautiful melody sung so intricately with words like “Oh maybe, we shouldn't try so hard” hits too close to home. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Jesus, this is gorgeous. Had some health issues that were fucking with me when I listened to music, so had a few years of basically quiet and no music. Was killing my fucking soul. Having gems like this awaiting me as I dive back in is so moving. Thanks, Mike. Truly. Please don't ever stop, this is pure art.
What an amazing song. A real discovery for me, listening to the New Amsterdam series. I wanted to know what this captivating music was. It looks like a message sent out into the cosmos to let us know what it's like to be a human being. Who seeks connection, and who suffers when he has none. Is it the same elsewhere in the Universe? Here on earth this is how we are. I will be listening to this song again in 20 years. What a talent this singer-songwriter. What a voice! Thank you, thank you, for this beautiful music that feels good
Here from Another Life season 2, and I am beyond grateful that you let them use this song, so I could discover it. The poignant introspection and plea for mutual acceptance and love, while shamelessly being true to yourself...just thank you.
You are needed in this hysteric time, my friend. I've been appreciative of your expression since 2012.. you've meant a lot to me. Keep on keeping on. I'll keep supporting and repping your expression.
@@geographermusic the pleasure is mine. thank you for providing a catalyst for self-healing, and for helping people feel less isolated within similar emotions. Looking forward for more
I have been listening to Geographer for years and was so excited to hear this song on New Amsterdam. Loved the tune pretty much instantly. Can't wait for this to be released. This tune is beautiful and on point. My new repeat around the house
I heard this on Another Life as well and whereas I’m engrossed in the show, when I heard your voice I had to stop and find you. The texture of your voice and the skill that you transition from chest to mix to head is simply otherworldly. I’m an instant fan.
I don't know this from TV; just from Spotify - and something about the energy in this hits me in the chest and can bring me to tears. That's not something that happens to me with a song but like once a decade.
Lyrics for 3:01-3:56 5:15-6:05 🎶 'Cause I've been walking my life to the beat of a drum It gave me away, and I was far too long I'm trying to be a love keeper It was all I could do just to play along Now you tell me that the parts are gone Oh maybe, you shouldn't try so hard When will I belong? When will I belong?......🎶
so close!! "...they gave me when I was far too young, I'm trying to be a lucky one..." "...now you tell me that the parts are wrong, oh maybe, I shouldn't try so hard..." I love that you wrote these out!
Quelle chanson incroyable. Une vraie découverte pour moi, en écoutant la série New Amsterdam. J'ai voulu savoir quelle était cette musique envoutante. On dirait un message envoyé dans le cosmos afin qu'on sache ce que c'est qu'être une être humain. Qui cherche la connextion, et qui souffre quand il n'en a pas. Est-ce que c'est pareil ailleurs dans l'Univers? Ici sur terre c'est comme ça que nous sommes. Je vais écouter cette chanson encore dans 20 ans. Quel talent ce chanteur compositeur. Quelle voix! Merci, merci, pour cette belle musique qui fait du bien
[Verse 1] All this fire I burn It takes me inside and it shows me what it learned If I feel your love Will you be my light above Oh, anything else will do Than being misunderstood Cuz' I believe I could Feel as free as the winter truth Won't you take me as I am Underneath my heart is a simple man If I could feel your love Then I could reason with the shadows in my thoughts Well I feel sometimes like a little child Lost in the words from the fading light Is there no one who can help me find My own way to the other side [Bridge] No one believes me now that I found a way Oh, nothing gets done unless you do it yourself these days [Chorus] 'Cause I've been walking my life to the beat of a drum It gave me away, and I was far too long I'm trying to be a lucky one It was all I could do just to play along Now you tell me that the paths are wrong Oh maybe, we shouldn't try so hard When will I belong When will I belong [Verse 2] In despite of all I know I keep trying to make the diamonds all around me glow When I feel alive I can light up the whole sky If I could feel your love Then I could reason with the clouds up above [Bridge] No one believes me now that I found a way Oh, nothing gets done unless you do it yourself these days [Chorus] 'Cause I've been walking my life to the beat of a drum It gave me away, and I was far too long I'm trying to be a lucky one It was all I could do just to play along Now you tell me that the paths are wrong Oh maybe, we shouldn't try so hard When will I belong When will I belong When will I belong When will I belong
I got here from New Amsterdam. this is beautiful. I definitely relate to "I've been walking my life to the beat of a drum they gave me when I was far too young"
Just heard this on my new favorite show, 'New Amsterdam' S2 E17. Just let the tears flow like rain. Sometimes, you just have to take a minute, close your eyes, and listen. The music in this show is the best ever! So is the writer! Thank you
This. THIS is a masterpiece! Thank you so much for writing such a beautiful song. This is going on the, "rest of my life" list of songs that I'll listen for my remaining years. Well done sir. Very well done.
I'm watching New Amsterdam and I said loud, "THAT'S GEOGRAPHER!!!" I could recognize your voice anywhere. Seen you 3 times and have loved your music since Animal Shapes 💜💙
I just watched the episode and my jaw dropped when I heard your voice!! I recognized you instantly. I’ve been following your music for a few years now, and I’m happy to hear it in a show I love ❤️
