One of the most underrated musical groups ever. These aren't songs. This is poetry set to music.

1:34. No words for that part. Just beautiful!

[Cleveland_Chris]

Such a beautiful song. After years of revisiting this song, it still hits the same as it did then

[TimoBrandtMusic]

For me it's just the best recorded performance of this band I have ever heard. Wish they would always sound exactly like this.

[rhimiles]

I'm glad they keep their guitars so polished, makes for stunning camera angles!

Broken by the back of it
It was hard enough without the loss
Hanging on a thread of it
It was hard enough without the cost
Dancing to your lover's beat
Beating on heavy feet
Working on a dream you made
Well, you made enough to ride the wave
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to do
Wish you could have talked to me
Found another way to be
Living hard don't sound so good
It's hard to get out of the woods
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to do
The radio was playing all day
When I heard you singing
Fingers strom the sound through delay
It echoes to me
Wishbones' hidden in the residue
Someday they'll find you
Just a little piece of good for two
It won't forget you
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to do

His voice is giving my soul a nice, warm and fuzzy belly rub! What a truly beautiful song!

This guys voice…their presence, the beauty of their instrumental playing…all of them. Good god.

I only stumbled across Mahogany Sessions recently when listening to Hozier and now I'm a HUGE fan. I have found so many bands/artists recently and Matthew and the Atlas are among my favourite. Keep up the fantastic work!

Thank you for existing, you’ve made my life a bit better, you’ve touched my soul. I’m crying over my soft boiled eggs, I just don’t want this song to end. Listening to this song is like opening a book, that I just can’t stop reading.

I'm so thankful that I've discovered Mahogany Sessions. I don't like every song, but no other channel has made me cry so often (in a very, very positive way!!!). I just wanted to say thank you so much. Please keep on making people happy <3

I've been a fan of MatA since I first heard Animal Bones and The Waves about three years ago. The new sound they went with in Other Rivers surprised me for a time but I enjoyed it nonetheless. This song, Elijah, makes me love their music even more. I wish more people will discover your music, and I hope you can do an Asian tour someday! You have fans here, MatA! :)
