Listener Wooden Heart

[Elraurko]

2023 and this still gives me goosebumps.

[andrewpetrisko]

the opening line, "we're all born to broken people on their most honest day of living" hits home more than I'd like to admit

[livingdeadty]

10 years and this still hits me just as hard as it did the first time I ever heard it

[stacystupid]

i met a stranger on omegle 5 years ago and we talked into the wee hours of the night about everything and anything. we told each other secrets that we swore we would keep. although ill never know who that stranger was, i remember they told me this was their favorite song. so i come back to it every now and then and wonder how they’re doing. i hope life has treated them well. i hope they know someone out there is rooting for them. and i hope sometimes, somehow, they might think of me too.

[inhalejesus]

We’re all born to broken people on their most honest day of living
and since that first breath...
We’ll need grace that we’ve never given

[earwaxntoast]

I happened across this song the day after my father died and this song hit me like an atom bomb starting from the opening line. I still can't listen to it without tearing up. I miss you, Pop.

[susiemelirosa]

This saved me from my thoughts and going to harm myself I am almost 2 months clean from cutting I don’t know why but I just wanted to share this God is good and all the time God is good😊

[towerbite]

Not sure if anyone in the band still checks this, but I want them to know their music has helped me through the waves of life. Hearing the same humanity in the music and lyrics helps pull me back to earth. Thank you Listener for crafting an art that I feel is for myself.

First heared this 10yrs ago. Allways made me cry and feel better but i could not understand why. Now i think i do. This is honesty. Pure honesty.

[LatitudeWhytt]

His mustache makes everything about 1000% better.

This came out 9 years ago. Here I sit on my couch in 2021 with headphones on hearing this for the first time just in tears. Such a beautiful song. The world needs this.

[tommyokeefedc]

I think it's worth noting how positive and encouraging the comments on this video are. This song taps into deeply shared need that is a basic part of our humanity. It's a beautiful thing.

“let’s wash each other
with tears of joy and tears of grief
and fold our lives like crashing waves
and run up on this beach”

Dan Smith has a special way with words that most of the world will never know because he will never be popular. So many of Listener’s songs have impacted so many people. This song guided me through some of the toughest times in my life over these past 13 years.

[jadefirefly]

For what it's worth, I found this video about 10 years ago. It's my go-to on bad days, when I need to let off stress, or when I get the "what song always makes you cry?" question.

[markbro]

I love anyone who loves this song. Lets stand together not alone

[nintendoor]

Experiencing this live is an experience of a lifetime. Im lucky.

[joeyfrankovich]

I get goosebumps every single time I hear "While these machines will rust I promise that we'll still be electric, shocking each other back to life".

[erikscalendar]

OK I don't even understand what is happening its like this song speaks directly to your soul. I am a grown man that had to hold back tears as I listened and I can't really say why.
Mind Blowing simply mind blowing.

[shaneriley]

Dan Smith is the nicest most genuine dude i have ever met. I talked to him for like 15 minutes and he made such an impact.

[Rickholmesjrmusic]

this song has lifted me out of the deepest of holes. thank you listener.
