Came back here after many years. My life looks so different now, still I get goosebumps listening to them, and I remember who I truly am and wanna be.

I saw him live at Reggies in Chicago in 07 when I was a teenager. He broke a string at some point and replayed the song, lol. My brothers snuck me beers all night. Thanks for the memory.

[KingBat]

This is the first song I ever taught my self to play on guitar by ear when I was a teenager. This song will always be special to me.

Chuck gives me goose bumps over and over. Especially this version of the boat. There’s light after a tunnel. I am thankfully. 🍀🤘🏻

I bumped into Chuck outside the HWM gig in Bristol, UK last week. Literally walked in to the venue together, I said hello, shook his hand and told him his music moved me. He smiled and said a simple "thanks man". He'll never read this, but it meant a lot to be able to tell him to his face. Cheers, Chuck.

Chuck Regan's voice is like zombie dust. So good.

Wow, came here from an old Brian Fallon acoustic video comment recommendation. Can tell I'm gonna have these guys in my rotation for life. Great music.

Some days we're ripped and torn away
From the shore and tossed to a watery grave
Set adrift in the depths of the drink in the hands of the gods we curse

We call for help when no one's around
Shot down fleeting thoughts never make a sound
Set adrift in the depths of the dark in the heart of the sea where we wish

I feel it in my bones when the storm is close
Then await for the rain and the wind to blow
As dark colors fill the sky I'm drenched I'm feeling so alive
Eyes closed tight my ears open for the boat

We all carry the tune we love
Think of home when the waves and the going get tough
Hold our breath and go down with the wish of just one last kiss to rest

I feel it in my bones when the storm is close
Then await for the rain and the wind to blow
As dark colors fill the sky I'm drenched I'm feeling so alive
Eyes closed tight my ears open for the boat

these are MEN singing their hearts out. none of that autotune nonsense. just men expressing themselves and their vulnerability. so good.

[inahanifl]

one of the best songs, ever!!!
Chuck Ragan and Rocky Votolato sound great as a duo!!!!

[batfamfigs]

Saw Chuck and the boys open up for Gaslight at the Asbury Summer Stage a few weeks ago. First time seeing him live after listening to him for years. He didn't disappoint, to say the least. His energy was insane. Super nice guy too!!

[coreygella]

What a tune. I still come back to this one and it always comes through

[AlphaMatador]

Your music is so good Chuck! From Hot Water Music to this, keep it up brother! Nothing but love from Chicago!

[gregmitchell]

I was a huge fan of hot water music, I have a poster of them on my wall. and it’s awesome to see that this guy never fell off. The ending of this song is one of the most pretty, emotional things I’ve ever heard.

[JoeyShip]

This song is incredible made even more so with this addition. I can’t imagine this style of music getting any better than this right here.

[lucindatrewin]

My heart melts when I hear his voice :)
