The first time I heard "Appaloosa Bones", it felt like being wrapped in a memory. Isakov paints with lyrics, and every brushstroke captures a piece of the soul. From vast plains to the intimate window sills of our minds, he takes us on a journey. There's a line, "Was I that gone? Man, I hope not," that tugged at my heartstrings, making me reflect on moments of personal loss and rediscovery. The song is more than just music-it's an experience, a poignant reminder of life's fleeting moments and the enduring echoes of the heart. Listening to it feels like coming home.

He's said in his concerts a few times that this is the saddest song on the album, and after a few listens it's slowly making sense to me. It's beautiful.

@@williamfernandez1022 It'll be a long one, I'm warning you now... It's almost a running gag at this point that Gregory calls describes his music as "sad songs about space". I think every listener of his understands this sentiment as simply as is described. It's the three songs so far released for Apaloosa Bones, and this one in particular, which his fans can see semblance of to albums like This Empty Northern Hemisphere and even The Weatherman. For me, it's all about the lyricism, and Gregory loves to sing about loss and identity, physical distance as a metaphor for emptiness, and all the universal themes of "finding oneself" in this vast and open world. He doesn't always do this explicitly or plainly - it's usually (always) mixed in with visual imagery and metaphor. But this song is quite straightforward in this way, and it makes the appeal of it a much more solemn one. What makes this sad (again, for me) is that this sounds almost like a eulogy. The simplicity of the melody and instruments complements this tragic monologue. Go to 2:22 in this song, and this, in my opinion, is quintessential Gregory. "was i that gone, man i hope not. glad you found me when you did." If you read til the end, I love you ❤️ Let's hope this man keeps writing us his poetry.

I believe this song beautifully articulates coming back to stillness after being trapped in a boggled state of mind.

This song made me pick up my phone and text everyone that I appreciate just how I appreciate them. The magic of Gregory Alan Isakov, to make someone feel like that, so grateful.

Mixes melancholy and a desire for a lost America to devastating effect. Gregory, like many of us, is never far from sadness.

Of all the Gregory songs I’ve ever obsessed over…this one has reached depths I cannot even describe.

I'm glad this song found me when it did.

Burping my newborn baby at 3AM Listening to this ❤ She loves him

Our first dance at our wedding was Big Black Car, and our baby lulled to sleep with Dandelion Wine playing in the background. Now my husband and I are dancing with our walking toddler ❤️ thank you for this beautiful piece.

I heard this at a concert of his a while back, but when I first listened to it today, I thought, "oh, this is going to change me." I was right. Jesus Christ. I was right.

This man doesn’t have a bad song ❤️

This song is immediately up there with Master & the Hound, She Always Takes it Black, and Was I Just Another One. They are slow and powerful with every word carving into you, drawing out emotions you didn't know you had.

I’ve wanted to see you for so long. This past wkd when you played at Winnipeg folkfest, a bucket list was checked off for me. I recently lost my brother in Mexico, and you filled my heart up with warmth and love. Thank you Gregory ❤️

'your Appaloosa bones That carried me home across the plains.' Where did the concept of Appaloosa bones come from? What does it symbolize? Along with the simple melody and Greg's soul stirring voice, it feels haunting and evocative to me. Is it about heritage, connection, longing, or something even more personal or profound like an inside joke or secret love code? It's a beautiful mystery that adds a layer of complexity to an already compelling piece. I think overall, this one deserved the title track status. 🐎🐴🦴🌵

Been waiting for this 628 days since I first heard him and Steve perform it. Today’s a good day.

This might be my favorite song on this album. I'm glad it "found me when (it) did"

Gregory Alan Isakov... All his songs are beautiful, and his voice, guitar playing, and everything in his music is gorgeous and perfect.

There is just no one that can duplicate his style! He was created and God said…. I have perfected the perfect voice and talent ♥️

Man. This song just hits home. I love him and his music all the way. (Big suprise to you all my family is good friends with this guy) I don’t wish to brag. But every time I hear him it’s just amazing to see and believe how far Greg has come.

I heard y’all play this is Utrecht in November. Cried like a child then, and now I get to cry all over again. Thank you.

He reaches inside your soul where so many others cant and it feels like he just makes sits in empathy there..❤❤

these songs really are dropping whenever i personally need them most.

I heard this song in concert Jan 2023 and when it was released I absolutely broke down. Still my favorite of all time

So beautiful. I really needed this today. It's warm and yet bittersweet, like a goodbye hug from a friend you won't see again for a while.

The studio version is just as beautiful as the live version. Very happy to hear it at last with all the extra instrumentation 🖤🖤

An instant classic Gregory, as are so many of your timeless songs. This song is a supreme testament to the extraordinary, understated power, exquisite, and delicate balance, between your instrumentation, and your vocals... something many performers have a difficult time developing an awareness of, and a sense for. Perhaps that is one of your greatest assets-that and a Beautiful mind Gregory, a remarkable mind.
