David Nail's 'Forgiveness' Will Leave You Shook (Live + Acoustic)

David Nail sings "Forgiveness" LIVE and proves why he's one of country music's most under-appreciated vocalists and storytellers.

This acoustic performance was inspired by a friend of David Nail's who he couldn't reach out to at a critical time in her life.

David Nail, "Forgiveness" Lyrics:
(David Nail, Donovan Woods)

I can't lie / It's hard to hear / After all we shared / After all these years / I don't know / What I'm supposed to say / What I'm supposed to feel / Seeing you this way.

Chorus:
I wish I had the answers / To all the questions in your mind / I wish I could say it will get better / But I can't look at you and lie / I know I've had my share of troubles / So who am I to give advice / But if you ain't found forgiveness / Seems like now's the time.

There was a time / You could have called / I would've dropped everything / To break your fall / But times change / Like people do / And the times we had / They have long been through.

I wish I had the answers / To all the questions in your mind / I wish I could say it will get better / But I can't look at you and lie / I know I've had my share of troubles / So who am I to give advice / But if you ain't found forgiveness / Seems like now's the time.

I-I / Say a prayer for you / I-I / That's the best that I can do / I-I / Smile and say goodbye.

I can't lie / It's hard to hear / After all we shared / After all these years.

I have listened to this hundreds of times and it still remains my favorite of all. Thank you David, from another Missouri boy.

David Nail is straight up amazing. One of the most underrated voices in all music, not just country.

[Kennardy]

I’m obsessed with the album version of this song. I was washing my truck when this played into my headphones. I abandoned my truck and spend two hours figuring out the three string triads and the picking pattern on my guitar…then I played along with the track another 20 times. I have not been moved by a song like that in…well ever.

[kristinhernandez]

His music is so very special. Thank you, David. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏼

Clearly one of the best voices ever. Nashville missed this one. Just one more example of why I've tuned out.

[JustMe-mi]

One of the purest voices in country music.

[keithcorzine]

The words in this song glued my family back together!! You have no idea what you did. GOD BLESS YOU David !! I wish I could shake your hand some day.

[nicolekanofski]

I've had my share of 'troubles', so who am 'I' to give
That phrase is everything.

[robinerickson]

Still the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. Love this simple version. Absolutely amazing. Gives me chills.

[charlesbirdwell]

This guy is amazing. Everything he does is great

Just saw him tonight in Gainesville Georgia. Been a fan of his since 2009. It’s April 2024 and he’s still just as good, if not better.

For some reason this song just hit my Spotify. I think God works in mysterious ways as this song is bringing me peace as I come to terms that my wife is leaving me.

David has been my favorite country artist since his debut album. He is the best and should have won multiple Grammys and CMA awards by now. He is a brilliant songwriter and hope he stays genuine and never sell out for the formulaic hollow commercialized pop faux country crap that is today's "country" music.

[ComedianEliGallaher]

His live performance might actually be better than his studio recording. What a powerful voice. And I'm not even a fan of country, but this song has been on repeat since it first came out last year.

I Love David Nail. i was learning the song Red Light, right about 2 days before my sister passed. she loved me singing david nail songs to her, it was the only artist that i listened to that she agreed with, considering i listened to nickel back and all. she was a punk rocker. but David Nail songs just seemed to sooth her. i sure miss her and wasnt able to sing Red light to her ;(. Thank you David for the inspiration!! I'm with you to the moon and back!!

[traceyschneider]

Best voice in country music hands down 😍

[GrumpyBassTurd]

Wow, that's what I call a moving song. Real country. I love your voice, always have. But songs like this are just too good, bring chills and hit home. Well done sir. Keep making beautiful music, true fans like me truly appreciate your time and effort. God Bless.

[jacobwaterhouse]

This song hits hard right now. The person who I thought I'd be with forever is gone. Truth is she never loved me and it's hard to accept.

[robertdunn]

I loved the studio version of this song, but my god this is just breathtaking. Such emotion in his voice, such talent.

[terrymitchell]

Who else is crying in 2023 after listening to this masterpiece ? All I can say is WOW. David in so underrated.
