Gregory Alan Isakov - If I Go I'm Goin'

[Chatziparasidiss]

Californication, the best series ever made. <3

[TheLilyalondra]

Wow and I thought this was a new song.

[EndofAutumn]

One of my favourite songs ever, on one of my fav shows = awesome

[ConcreteGirl4]

if i could live in a song forever...

[egzit]

If you just got your heart broken and you need it to hurt it out so it gets done fast, here's what you do:

1. Make a playlist;

2. Add this song 100 times;

3. Listen;

4. Feel shitty;

5. Feel better.

[srocha23]

best song for a breakout :(

[MattAnimalRep]

Californication!

[HannahLIndahl]

I've literally had this song on repeat for about 3 hours today. Same thing yesterday! love it.

[camprose26]

Sigh ... :) So good.

[dragonsky799]

I played some songwriters in the round with Gregory before he was this popular. Gregory writes with his heart and soul, nothing else. He shares it with us, that is his gift to us. We all feel in our own way when we listen. No one is right or wrong. That is what is so beautiful and pure about his songs.

[za1pp]

Californication baby!!

[rayadoman3]

Heartbreaking, that's right on.

[Kelseymeowify]

I fall asleep to this nightly. truly beautiful. breaks my heart in such a perfect way.

[mantay]

astonishing tune..

[frickmann123]

Just saw him last night when he opened for Blind Pilot at Union Transfer.

Dear god he was wonderful.

[grgo22]

exellent song

[prekidistvarnosti89]

this song is from another world!too good for this 

[jegerbims]

This is the saddest song i've ever heard which featured a banjo.

[SoNy0HUN0]

Put it together with 'Rainy Mood'.pure awesomeness..

[Slitshypitchy]

@MultiPoojabber That's right man, but like Hank we all have to rise again and again and again. We all make mistakes. Don't lose your head!

[squirtlebeeb]

@MultiPoojabber very insightful, Mr. MultiPoojabber.

[MrMatt222222]

love this song

[killahamsta]

@MultiPoojabber fine words, have a nice day!

[tryftryf1994]

such a nice song and show

[10sup10]

Wow, I just found this guy on the suggestions bar from listening to the band Margot and the Nuclear So and So's. I love it, this is my style of music.

[Zuxiq]

@MultiPoojabber  Word bro...

[Curroceren]

@MultiPoojabber I like your words. I'm writing a novel in a Californication Key. It isn't a parody or simple copy, I'm trying hard to translate in a book something I felt waching this serie. So, in a certain an short way, is what you say the leifmotiv of my book. Is not sure I'll do, but, Could I use your words?

Greetings from an Spanish writer anyway

[aljazselan]

series Californicaion is the best series ever!

[Rizzla888]

@MultiPoojabber Indeed, thats why in my opinion Californication is one of the best series EVER made.

I mean no matter if your a lawyer, a criminal or whatever the fuck, you can always see something that connects to you as viewer.

Never had such feelings when watching tv, and I must say the guys who organised the soundtrack of the series did an awesome job!

[4ever30stmfan]

@Rizzla888 Agreed!

[markusrosso]

this song is so HUMAN... I love it!

[AlleSixx]

Perfect song.

[dirkdada]

saw him playing in Leiden, Netherlands, loved it!

[ecender]

and Ryan Adams of course...

[ecender]

good stuff. Reminds me of the great band The Head And The Heart.

[SanLong88]

@MultiPoojabber Wise words mr Poojabber. Wise indeed.

[JoshRock87]

Freakin awesome takes me away! Just like red house painters

[speedisnolimit]

my lady I will go if you ask me to

I will stay if you dare....if I go I'm going straight to nowere

[conejosvm]

JAMAS EN MI VIDA SUPE LO QUE ERA VALORAR NI RESPETAR A LA PERSONA QUE AMAS Y HOY EN DIA DESDE UN TIEMPO ATRAS APARECISTE EN MI VIDA Y JAMAS OLVIDO EL SITIO DONDE NOS CONOCIMOS PORQUE FUE AHI DONDE EMPEZAMOS A CULTIVAR LO QUE ES HOY Y SIEMPRE HEMOS LLEVADO Y ANDAR A DIARIO CON ESO .. TUS CARTAS HAN SIDO SIEMPRE LA FUERZA QUE ME DABA PARA AGARRARME DE DIOS Y TE AMO PESE A TODAS LAS COSAS QUE VIVIMOS A DIARIO MI CHIQUITA .. TE AMO MARIELLA ETERNAMENTE

[gailiren29]

@beng301 I know this because I saw them writing it at the Kerrville Folk Festival and I've heard the whole story of how it was written. They are super good friends and They write songs together all the time. I'm a huge fan of the both of them. On Wagner's disk Disappear there are 3 co/writes with Isakov and I love everyone of them.

[misioad]

są do tego nuty Jak są ta wklejać linki

[Swood44]

@beng301 wtf man. i wasn't insulting anybody, i was just saying that now that he's popular, he plays alot less around town. he's currently on tour in the uk or something which is a downer. and i specifically said i don't prefer popular artists...so your comment had no relevance whatsoever. so are you a prick to everybody? or just people you meet online?

[phatcartoon]

@beng301 I can't speak for gailiren29 and how they heard about these two writing this song together, but I can tell you how I heard about it. I'm related to J. Wagner. Isakov, Wagner, and Elliot wrote this song. Check out J. Wagner singing this song at flipnoticks.... /watch?v=MCs8vmV9ozE ... He gives a little back story of the writing of this song.

[Swood44]

im sort of pissed that californication included this on their soundtrack....when local artists become popular=no more "local" artist.

[GKFC]

O_o

That's a rather selfish view...

[BOBBYDECMAN37]

that guitar sounds so peaceful.. :_)

[playerx508]

this song makes me reminding of my old times, my prymary and high school :D

[fisdara]

what's the name of the piece of art featured here?

[branlob]

@fisdara Christophe Gilbert

[fisdara]

Thank you! @branlob

[kylo67100]

została tylko nadzieja na lepsze jutro..........

[AllThatImDyingFor]

not one of the most amazing, this is the most amazing soundtrack of califonication

[xrockmebabyx]

what does "shameless" mean in this context?

"going shameless" - he thinks of a process where he'll end up shameless, it's not the verb "to go" like "walk" (the he must have said going shamelessly). am i right?

sry, not a native speaker

[marzorbit]

@xrockmebabyx Not ending up shameless, Shameless before he sets off.

[Dcowcow972]

@xrockmebabyx

I think it means he would only leave if told to / that he would have tried everything in his power before throwing in the towel.

[AvanLotharion]

@Dcowcow972 Amen to that.

[Bisk33]

2 people should get goin

[xrockmebabyx]

still shaking all over just by listening to this incredible musician. I can feel theres something deeper behind these lyrics - i actually do understand the single words - but as i am not a native speaker of english, its a bit hard to find out what hes talking about. can anyone help? thanks a lot

[goodrum04]

@xrockmebabyx I feel like there's some deeper meaning to the lyrics as well. I'm sure everyone that heard this song on Californication interprets it differently, because it was associated with an event (most likely a significant/sad event) in the show that they now identify it with. It's a gorgeous song, but there's so many ways to interpret it that I couldn't begin to start. I've listened to it a thousand times and still can't decide.

[xrockmebabyx]

@goodrum04

i'd appreciate if you/anyone give it a try. i haven't watched the fourth season yet (I could but I like to wait until they dubbed it in german) so don't link the song to any special event. thank you

[xrockmebabyx]

@goodrum04 i'd appreciate it if you give it a try. as i wait for the season to be dubbed in german, i don't link the song to any special event. thanks in advance:)

[TheDubQuake]

theres only understanding the reason why and learn with it... we all feel, its up to you on how to react what your heart is screaming. drama, and love are always together, thats one of the fucked up misteries of life that makes your heart beat..

[signalkrem]

From Californication to here.. Thanx Shazam :-)

[lleewys]

CA also!

[db0db0db]

Never seen a show.. with amazing comedy, drama, and beautiful music ....

Californication rocks!!!!

[teetersj]

If you like this you would like Steve Earle - His has a played and recorded with the best !

[NicolasShane1]

Californication music supervisor is on twitter @norafelder you can go there for updates on music in the show

[0Hujan0]

Awesome song,

Awesomely used in Californication

[MegaDemon2121]

where can I find the picture , beautiful, love the song,

[MegaDemon2121]

what is the name of the picture of the tree you used and where can I find, it, LOve it and the song is great,

[flyingyeti]

I heard this on Californication and just downloaded the entire album. Amazing album.

[Kamyllo22]

@flyingyeti

so good album should be bought, not downloaded.....

regard the art

[thyten]

An incredible song, I wish nothing than the best for Gregory, it's sad that someone who creates music this beautiful may never make enough money to keep making music.

[cliffspicer]

Just caught 4-4 and after hearing this song I had to find out who did it. Unforgettable lyrics.

i will go if you ask me to

i will stay if you dare

and if i go, i’m goin crazy

i’ll let my darlin take me there

[dadaseyi]

amazing, just amazing. for reference, I'm a black guy who listens to predominantly hip hop and r&b. This song rocked me to my core. Beautiful lyrics.

[umaia83]

Who´s the one guy who doesn´t like this?

[PeteGoesWild]

@umaia83 an idiot

[umaia83]

@PeteGoesWild

:)

[ccalle]

@SkateboarderXL

It's in the key of Eb.

The chorus is Ab, Eb, Ab, Bb then the "If im going im going..." part is a quicker change between Eb, Bb, Cm. Then to Ab, then Eb.

If you don't know what I'm talking about then put a capo on the first fret and change the Eb to a Dmajor, Ab to a G, Bb to an A, and Cm to a Bm.

[GKFC]

Easier to put the capo on 3 and play it in C.

[supermagicmushroom]

californication is one of the best shows out there

[vidrutza]

just heard it too and than google it.. it's fantastic... both the movie and the song

[m3ndark]

great song! <3 it

[HankMoody4]

1 to 10:

Californication:10 :)

Entourage:6/7

[lunio3]

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it

[xdmocromrc]

californication started as a funny thing for me now i really start to love it a bit :p

[SashaMuffyn]

♥ amazing

[MrManecasPT]

Californication have the best songs to end the episodes...

[kjrodgers]

Great song, just heard it on Californication and looked it up. Don't watch the show, but happened to catch the end. Always enjoy hearing new songs that are great!

[villeek]

Amazing song. I had to shazam that shit when I watched Californication. <3 a show that combines great and really clever comedy and touching and wounding drama. what else could you wish for?

[jamohorny]

Sounds like Whiskeytown Ryan Adams not the Cardinals, nor solo RA

[HolaHolitaHamigo00]

fuck, californication its great

[somewhileago]

i have never seen a show with more awesome songs in it, which uve never heard before

[NICKMAN112253]

@somewhileago

Great show, I agree. Try watching Skins-UK version and you will change your mind. I had to download the episode track list! Needless to say, they should have had this on there

[SkateboarderXL]

Does anyone have the chords for this song??? Can't find them ANYWHERE!

[miloalterioph]

Ryan Adams ...........

[irishlaxplaya13]

@miloalterioph I agree just like Ryan Adams, I thought it was him at first

[mike8087]

Sounds just like Ryan Adams. Amazing stuff. 

[timbov1]

this song reminds me of oh my sweet carolina same feel

[krisiman]

my new favourite

[foofango]

@KPRGOONER The official Showtime website has a playlist for every episode.

[LuckaAndrews]

Absolutely great song !

[drackett19]

yeah really great song. reminds me of ryan adams.

[richie90210]

even though he gets as many women as he wants.. he never gets the one he really wants! tragic hank moody..

wondering if he ever will?! we'll see!

[gailiren29]

he wrote this with Johann Wagner ( who goes by J Wagner) at the kerrville folk festival

Both him and Gregory are two of my favorite songwriters ever!!!!

Disappear by J Wagner and This Empty Northern Hemisphere by Isakov are two must have records. Both are on CDbaby too. I love this song!

[dukestreetking75]

This song is very haunting ... like a lot of people I first heard it while watching Californication. I highly recommend going to his website and downloading the entire 13 song CD. It's that good ...

[vetulani]

Do he has a professional CD?

[crash13vlad]

no one will dislike this song because many people won't get very soon here

[akshaykuki]

hello people

[timbov1]

emusic.com has the soundtrack available for downloading for those that want all 13 songs.

[timbov1]

Johann Wagner is worth checking out as well he co-wrote this song

[Ope333]

this is great, no dislike yet!! I'm also pretty glad i watched californication otherwise i wouldn't knew this song!

[MikalThoresen]

Thank God for Californication! Otherwise I would never discover this amazing song - and all the other great songs of Gregory as well :)

[alcalscott]

Had to go looking for this song as soon as Californication finished. Great song!!!

Has any one found the source of the digital art - its as good as the song . Very good clip - thanks

[annieoakley645]

Wow, beautiful song. Just bought his latest album, all the songs are just as good and better! Fingers crossed he makes it to Europe soon. Has a cool website too.

[annieoakley645]

Here's his site:

gregoryalanisakov 

[vinnie603]

he sounds very much like Ryan adams :o

[fazoquetuqueres]

Californication has got the best soundtrack ever.

[Avada86]

great photo! know what is this?

[rijamute]

@Avada86

CHRISTOPHE GILBERT. He's awesome.

[Avada86]

@rijamute Thank you :)

[twardapoduszka]

Best!

[NaruMikoo]

Everything will be fine Hank!

[raul9018]

Amazing Track...

I feel all of those things which i had little time ago...

[ProfessorKaos64]

What a peaceful song, thank you Californication for showing me this artist. Applause

[lentas08]

Sounds like so many ghost from the past, particularly Warren Zevon and Jackson Browne, but still very good.

[MrMactell]

what a wonderful song. i wanna make music like this. wherever this man is. we've all been there..

[NicolasShane1]

It's on the Californication season 4 soundtrack on itunes

[jeffmed24]

Heard it on californication great song

[MichaelfromMontreal]

Where can I download this amazing song from??

[romuloutube]

what a fucking great song, and what a fucking genius serie.

[DoughJames]

Thumbs Up if u heard this on Californication.

[paulrf85]

Californication brought me here as well...

[lazyike2]

A billion thumbs up. -3 love this song, californication brought me here for sure :)

[NicolasShane1]

This song helped bring this wacky episode full circle back to the heart of our poor boy Hank.

[kevin104z]

i heard this and thought it was ryan adams..real nice song!

[danielsinz]

Californication brought me here. Thumbs up if it brought you here too :D

[NSpytimber]

@danielsinz Im Here too

[ImperiousLeader91]

Californication always has the best music. :D

[MCAzeitgeist]

3:20........ tears flow.........

[DaSemmelhans]

first video ever, which is not getting a dislike?

hope so, because its a great song!

[kozi155]

great voice - ive heard this song on califonication...good job Gregory;D

[serpensortia01]

californication...

[golfnjeff]

Heard on Californication last night and had to find it...Great song and so glad I have now found Gregory Alan Isakov. Can't wait to hear more of his music. But this song....this song should touch everyone. If it doesn't you have no soul. Cindy

[gatoelsel]

It Californihappened to me too... I did not know this singer and seems to me it's going to be one of my february's favourites...

[NICKMAN112253]

what an awesome picture. where do i find it?

[hannahmontana359]

A great song, heard it on californication as well. Its pretty simple to play, in case anyone is curious standard tuning, capo 3rd fret.

Verses: C,F,C,G/B-Amin,F,C

Chorus: F,C,F,G,C-G/B-Amin,F,C

The intro stuff is just hammerons with the regular chord progression.

[burnt4]

Only Californication can squueze in jokes about monkey shit, autoerotic asphyxiation to transition into moments sincere emotion

[pimperpimziterin]

Californication has great songs at the cliffhangers just like the end of season 3 Blindpilot - 3 rounds and a sound. Thumbs up for the music editor!

[ojee123]

found the song, californication (Y)

[capoorabhi]

where do i download this from? i cant find any website

[catsnpancakes]

I have never seen a show that pulls off both great comedy and drama as well as Californication does.

[DoughJames]

@catsnpancakes That was the best Californication episode to date. That one last night was hilarious. I get a lot of songs from that show.

[cristi92m]

@catsnpancakes you should check out Entourage. It's almost as awesome as this

[verbst]

@catsnpancakes how about Weeds? Kinda started as a comedy, but the las two seasons had more drama than Shakespeare :)))

[jamirophan]

@catsnpancakes Guess that's what life is all about eh? Taking the drama with a grain of salt and covering up the hurt with cynicism. I love this show to death, it's amazing, you're completely right. And the choice of music is pretty sick as well!

[demynator6]

@catsnpancakes loook up skins UK .

[LACIPPO]

beautiful song, poor hank tho.

[invalid007]

Yeah... Poor Hank Moody. Not really though. Cause he's not real. Either way, I hope Karen doesn't screw the black kid cause Becca's lead singer will ditch her with the rest of the band and they'll be one big miserable family again. Any takers?

[BlacKasan0va]

incredible song to match an incredible show
