Probably had her lungs blown out cause of the machines not covid.

This song has helped me through a really hard time recently as my wife Tracey passed away in March, but the reason it's so special is the last thing she ever bought me was your latest album for my Birthday (Secret Birthday present ) and we had just found out she had Cancer so it was a pretty hard time. This song instantly spoke to me as I could see the struggles to come, my wife then bought my son two tickets to your postponed Glasgow gig in April for his birthday obviously with me in mind as he is under 18. She passed on around a fortnight after this on the 23rd march after taking a bad reaction to chemotherapy and spent her last few days in a Hospice. Without this wee song I don't think I would have gotten through seeing her suffer and struggle so much. So I would just like to say thank you, you have really touched my soul.

I forgot where I was but I just got in my car and this was playing I didn’t hear much but the guitar spoke to me and I knew I found something so I shazamed it and listened to it later. Now I relate this song to coming home from a long 12 hr shift and feeling like my soul left elsewhere and all that remains is a hollow shell.

This song absolutely touched my soul. My father passed away 2.5 years ago, but in my heart it might as well have been 2.5 minutes ago. Now, my sister is battling an incurable cancer. She could still have 2.5 years, but in my heart it feels like it may as well be 2.5 minutes. But as this old man sits here counting my losses, I know it ain't the way I want it, but it's still alright. Thank you, and God bless.

Discovered this song about 8 months ago, my uncle committed suicide then a month later a separation from my wife of 16 years. Started all over again from scratch. Times are hard and they aren’t the way that I wanted, but it’s still alright

34 days clean today and this song speaks so loudly to the journey to get here. The road ahead seems so impossibly long drought with land mines that I will lay for myself and the road behind is paved with regent and embarrassment. It ain’t alight…but I’m hoping I can make some of it right. “All this fear starts leaving a mark. Idle hands are all that stands from your time in the dark. But it’s still alright.”

What I would give just to hear his stories and hear his advice again

You’ll probably never see this but it makes me happy that you are proud of yourself, Nathaniel. You’re a strong man who puts it all into songs. It would be tough doing that. We see how much these lyrics mean to you in your eyes and voice. Be proud. Keep on being you, Nathaniel. Such a talented guy. Wow.

This beautiful talented man can do no wrong. All his solo stuff and the Night Sweats (who are easily one of the best live bands on the planet in my opinion) is real soul music of the highest order! Honest, heart on your sleeve & life affirming gorgeousness.

I just discovered this, I’m a disabled combat vet with ptsd and depression, heavily medicated at times, it’s hard sometimes, like I failed and the words of this song help me so much with acceptance of the past and how things don’t go as we hoped and sometimes the people we wish were still with us, whether we lose them to war or lose a marriage because of how it changes us and the connection with family...so much loss to be counted can be overwhelming but I listen to this and find myself feeling emotions, while just staring out at the wood line, that I couldn’t express at the time.

I have to be a better man. What a song 🫡

Nathaniel is a poet. This song is so right on for what is going on in my life and hits my soul like a ton of bricks, just like the rest of his music. So talented and under-rated for sure!

Funny how you can hear influences in a song, and still feel like it's 100% the artist you are listening to at that moment. What a beautiful voice.

When I first heard of Nathaniel the song was, “summers end” keep in mind I’m a huge hip hop head I barley ever go into these genres and if I do I mostly skip, but when I heard that guitar strumming and then he started to sing I just had to listen, he’s one of those artist that no matter why genre you prefer when he comes on you just have to listen, but it speaks from the heart, now I listen to him on a daily basis, thank you for all the amazing memories

I learned this on acoustic guitar recently to play at a memorial for a dear friend that passed into the by and by. I had another Friend accompany me on acoustic and we had our fiddle player join us. It was so hard to play and sing this without crying. I'd be lying if I said we played it perfectly. There were some straight up sobs. But what a beautiful song. The words, the music, the FEELING...It was an incredible tribute and I am thankful for this tune. It really helps ease the pain of that loss. Love you Monk. See you on the other side of the Blue Ridge Sky!

Can't help but think of the current situation in the world when I listen to this. Stay safe everyone.

All my Love to you J Yo for your “uniting” comments. Candescence be with you Always. Candice

Bury your friends; then it gets worse; standing out on a ledge with no way to get down; start praying for wings......My Mom died last year and my Dad is not in great shape. I do feel like I'm out on a ledge with no way to get down. I'm always praying to get through it. I know the other shoe (my Dad) is going to drop sooner than later and this song justgets me every single time. It's so beautiful

A love ones worst nightmare. Losing a love one and having to bury them. A man lost his son and couldn’t bare the thought of living without him. He was suffering and couldn’t believe his son was gone. He cried and cried every day and night, missing his son, wishing things were different. He couldn’t sleep and hadn’t slept in a long time. One night an old man came to him in a dream and told him “Enough!! That’s enough crying!!” The dad told him “I can not stop, I am never going to see him again!” The old man said “Do you want to see him again?” The dad says “yes of course” the old man takes him to the gates of heaven where he sees many little beautiful children, so happy and innocent, Carrying lit candles into the gates of heaven, smiling and laughing and just so beautiful. The dad asks “where is my son? Who are these kids?” The old man said “these are the children that are called home early, They are innocent and loved and they go right through to heaven, so happy” the dad says “and my son? Where is he? Why isn’t he with these children?” The old man said “come this way” and guided him to the side of heavens gate. A small boy with a beautiful smile was standing there watching all the children enter Heaven. He was standing there with a candle that was not lit. His dad grabbed him and hugged him, and the boy kissed his dads cheeks and told him he missed him. The dad said “why isn’t your candle lit like the other kids? Why are you waiting here at the gates?” The boy said “I keep lighting it Daddy, but your tears put it out. I see you are so sad and I am tied to that feeling so I wait here until you’re ok” the Dad burst out crying for the last time, he told his son, “light your candle and go, I will be ok, and I know you will be too” 🥺 - Don't cry too long for that loved one you lost, whether son, daughter, husband, mother or father!! Let them rest in peace, don't torment your life, because they won't come back, have faith that you will be together again, and that Creator makes us a beautiful home with all our loved ones when we leave this world.

Nothing moves my soul the way this man does. Still Trying struck a chord and i've been stuck on his songs ever since.

Proud to say our home towns are only an hour apart. Just heard this guy 10 mins ago, this song, after my wife and I split not an hour before it came on. I'm still lost. I miss my kids already. I'm not alright, but idk. They'll hold me together.

Nathaniel, thank you for what you do and what you bring to the rest of us. Last year, I traveled 6 hours to volunteer at a BBQ fundraiser in Tampa, Florida. I'd never heard of the organization or their cause, but I gladly jumped at the chance because you and your band were going to be there. I'm not typically a fanboy of anyone but when I called your name as you guys were headed from the bus to the stage and you stopped and said hello, it was awesome.

I heard this for the first time while i was on the operating table for a heart procedure. Every time I hear it it makes me reflect how I got a second chance. Live your life people. You never know how much time you have.

This brings me peace in difficult times and helps me to see its still alright, no matter how low I feel to carry on being a dad alone for the sake of my sons.

Underrated comment were the minds of people this is pin point accuracy on the waves of emotions you feel when listening to this beautifully put masterpiece keep on keeping on strong thru it all bro ..yours truly 🙌🏾💪

What an absolutely beautiful tune. It brings me to tears. Like it hits the soul. Thank you nathanial for sharing your art. Love. Love. Love.

I’ve never felt so connected to an artist that I never wanted to meet or hear and yet feel so moved.

This song is a miracle in 2020. The torch is still alive.

We have to help carry it.

With this video, it’s official, I’m obsessed. Listened to the new record for 9 hours straight today. Thank you for this amazing piece of incredibly tender art.❤️🙏🏼

Perhaps his best song yet. Every live, solo vid I’ve seen you feel he’s fighting back the tears.

Nathaniel Rateliff just keeps getting better and better. This is my newest favorite song by him.

Seen these guys 2 years ago in Vancouver,BC. Restored my faith in music again, amazing stuff.

This whole collection of songs ..all..have deep lyrics...hes overlooked...in my opinion...as a artist...I would love to tell him that !

As I turned 50, I cant help but look back some. Think about those I have known and loved, those that are no longer in my life either by my choice, their choice, of life's choice. The regrets I have, things I did - things I didnt do. Yet this is the perfect song for letting me know - its still alright. Somehow Nathaniel Rateliff produced a song that this just perfect for where I am this very day. Thank you sir.

A vocal and musical legend in my mind...thank you 😁

This song just does something to me. I can't listen to it enough...thank you💜

This song is incredible. From the haunting beginning chords to the the unconventional rhythym and how each chorus is just a little bit different than the last builds to the end in a way that I've not heard before. Its an excellently written piece executed perfectly, with just the right amount of imperfection. It makes me believe in music again. I can't stop listening to it.

A beautiful song about the struggles of alcohol addiction. If you look at the shot of him at the table you can see the Al Anon symbol (triangle with a circle in the middle) and the fact that the dancer is emulating a butterfly, which is also a symbol used by Al Anon. Both symbolize transition or change.

If you can carry the weight of living honest, you'll float when it's your time...

I feel at peace when I listen to this💜😌

NR - you and your crew helped heal old wounds in Sun Valley. It was years ago now, it wasn't easy to pull off but you did. I hope the good luck coins found you backstage. I send my deepest thanks, compassion and gratitude. You all showed up...Mom and I danced. I'm preparing to transit to the 5th, any day now. Remember the Neurolux in BOI, remember that was one for the Books. Life has limitations and nothing lasts forever, everything changes, and it's still alright. Blessings my friends. Thank you so much!

Had to put my 14 year old pup down two days ago. He's been with me for nearly 12 and he was the best buddy I ever had. This song gets me perfectly....

This song kicked me in the soul balls! Love it so much. Great job.

been hearing his music this past year or so...but this one really hit home today. Buried my 96-yr old father in law and made me wonder about what did he think about at night.

Odd how sometimes the internet actually connects people. (Imo it usually destroys connectivity) I'm sorry for your loss. Lately my mom has been making me take a hard look at her mortality. I can't imagine a world without my mom. It scares me.

I just saw him at the Montreal Jazz Fest and the band was incredible, it was raining steadily but he still had a few thousand in the streets listening to him and singing along despite the rain. Wonderful experience!

I heard this song on the radio a few days ago for the first time and can't stop listening to it. What a beautiful song that we all can relate to. The heartache and pain we have to endure in life. It's not easy!

Your voice always draws me in. I had to listen to this twice. It really gets down into your soul with each listen. I always tell people about your music...so raw and pure! Thank you.

Always such great music! Beautiful track..thank you for your gift Nathaniel!!!

I guess I don't see the 'just let go' thing as suicide, but as an encouragement to let go and trust that the landing will either be soft or you will gain resilience from breaking -- both good things; and you let go and trust whatever you have faith in to catch you because it's alright. You aren't going to lose by letting go of whatever is holding you cowering on the ledge.

Somehow, even though I have never met this man, he has described the contours of my heart with his words. I can't get this song out of my head. It haunts me in the most beautiful way.

First time I head this song was on Conan O’Brien show as you get older the song takes on new meaning I’m almost 40 and have had a lot of ups and downs in my life

Hopefully seeing Nathaniel in concert in Bath , England in October . 4 weeks after my heart valve replacement operation 🤞🏼

This song carried me through the passing of my father. It gets me in the feels every time I hear it. It doesn’t get near enough recognition. But maybe that makes it even better ❤️

Heard this playing in the movie Sweet Girl and had to Shazam.. what a good song!
