This is one of those songs that you simply cannot listen to just once, you absolutely MUST listen to it at least a dozen times or more ...

[waylingtons]

Honestly KEXP is like a silent therapist. Every time I need it something comes along even if it’s a decade old. Seriously, don’t stop what you are doing. It’s beautiful.

[randyfaulkner]

Is it just me or his voice as pure as it gets??

[pedrosilvam]

Probably, one of the best song ever written. Great performance guys!

[verolina]

this song just floored me...absolutely beautiful... I could listen to it forever

[frenchysbythefrenchtouch]

"Chemestry is the study of transformation"
The best song for the best promo in the history of tv.

I will never forget a night in Gothenburg. Where he was to a play a small venue after a four piece rock band. Even though they were four, once he came out with only him and his guitar he filled the whole venue with a more powerful sound. It was insanity. He then mingled in the bar had a beer and we got to chat to him and he was so dahm cool! Later we left and we met him again at a bus stop and was just the coolest most humble human. Special special talent and person

This is not just art and great music, but it has a such powerful lyrics. Its Stoic in it's essence and speaks to my soul in so many ways... I'm a mountaineer and spend most of my time in the mountains away from many things... These words could be used to describe what exactly is to climb a mountain! But its also a fantastic stoic beliefs for life in general. It's just perfect! I can't thank you enough guys for sharing what's the true essence of music: Touching peoples souls!

Junip have been the album played most on my phone for the past 18 months.

[darthjump]

Whenever a part of my life ends and a new one begins i listen to this.

[RmNaNtCbScRrn]

1:23 Omg I felt that build up! One of my favorite songs ever!

[beautifulanswerforu]

There are a few artists that sound like what I imagine angels sounds like. David Crosby and Jose Gonzalez are two. Just amazing.

[sakaikazumasa]

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

[valefor]

What would you do
if it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave
bright as lightning
What would you say
if you had to leave today?
leave everything behind
even though for once, you're shiningStanding on higher ground
when you hear the sounds
you realize it's just a whim
And you notice it matters
who and what you let under your skin

If Put to the test
would you step back from the line of fire?
Hold everything back
all emotions and desiresConvince yourself
To be someone else
and fight from the world
your lack of confidence.
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fallDictates your rise or your fall
With no one else around you
no one to understand you
no one to hear your calls.
Look through all your dark corners
When you're backed up against the wall

step back from the line of fire
What would you do
if it all came back to you?
each crest of each wavebright as lightning
do the same as you do
do the same as you do
do the same as you
do the same as you
I do the same as you
Do the same as you
do the same as you do
What you choose to believe inDictates your rise or your fall
With no one else around you
no one to understand you
no one to hear your calls.
Look through all your dark corners
when you're backed up against the wall

Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back
Step back
Step back

[analauramendezgarcia]

Es imposible dejar de escuchar esta joya musical

[GeneSimmonsBoots]

The questions raised in this song aren't just lyrics to me. They're my current reality.

Absolutely perfect song craft, and an uncanny insight into life.

[karlastraight]

My fave version of this song, yes so pure. Heard this song on the fabulous Blacklist and couldn't get it out of my head
