  • Scary Freeway.......NO island aaaagh !!!

  • Comment removed

  • love this song with all my heart and is so relevant to living in this day and age. thanks for the post

  • Amazing song I love it also in Soulsavers version

  • goddamn.. so fucking beautifull!! and such a nice little vid!

  • Pure.

  • Absolutely beautiful. Doesn't get any better than this.

  • Pure Genius!

  • like the voice and rawness.. so live sounding

  • Its a great song and a great video, I just feel so sad...my life has changed and the song is mine....

  • Not to mention Lanegan just oozes talent. Every song he sings turns to gold much like Johnny Cash IMHO.

  • This sounds like a couple of kids in a dorm playing to their computer compared to the Soulsavers version. Not bad but not as polished or professional.

  • Yeah. . .but in all fairness this is a song that resonates because of its lyrics; even though Soulsavers have a better arrangement -- arguably a stronger vocal -- you have to respect the original writer.

  • You prefer music like this when it's polished & professional? Maybe you need to loosen up & listen again

  • Why will it somehow become better? Sorry it's only an opinion not a slam and my opinion is worth as much as yours.

  • The comment you made made it seem like you thought this one was inadequate, this one is greater in my opinion because it's raw.

    The polished product doesn't make it better, it's music.

  • Like I said that is your opinion and I don't share it. It doesn't make either one of us wrong just different. Often I find covers less enjoyable but in this case the cover sounds better to me. Also I like a band that actually works on their music so it gets better. Many artists feel that their music gets better as they grow as artists. Is this wrong? Like I said opinions are only worthy to the ones that hold them otherwise they are just words.

  • It's honest.

  • thanks for letting me get a glimpse of what it is like driving over that bridge to one of the best songs ever written, I will probably never get a chance to get there in person in my worthless pissant life

  • This song is Deep....I Love the Palace Brothers.....

  • Soulsavers and Lanegan's version is infinitely better!!!Do yourself a favor and listen to it...

  • @squarelogic I did myself a favor and listened to it and wasn't too impressed. I can appreciate covers, but Will's voice adds a quality to music that even Johnnie Cash had a problem capturing. It's a sort of naked honesty and soulful quality if that makes any sense. It's hard to put it into words. The version that you refer to is way too polished.

  • Polished ? Lanegan ! seriously Oldham's original is lovely and I agree about the " naked honesty " ( and that's a quality that Lanegan's work has too) For me Lanegan's version is , oh I don't know , more profound ? It speaks to me of depths of despair and an acceptance of despair.

  • That's your opinion, just like the above is mine. Lanegan's is way polished. If you don't get that, then I don't know what else to say. You are arguing about some shit that I said nothing about. I don't care why you like the cover of this song. I replied to let you know that I don't think Lanegan's is better at all.

  • I second that. While some people will be more into the original version, those unfamiliar with the original may very well like Soulsavers' version of it. It's darker and much more beautiful IMO. Got to give Soulsavers credit for turning it into their own thing...

  • Damn, I need the chords for that song!

    Can someone help me?

  • Sounds like a A and a G to me, for the first verse, and after that a D somewhere, when he says "and behind you I have warned you"...but I'm only saying it by ear I could be wrong, and there are other notes along with the chords

    Hope I could help

  • A / G (repeat)

    D / A

    How difficult is that???

  • A beautiful song that pulls hard on the heart-strings. I'd give this six stars if I could.

  • Mark Lanegan has covered this on his latest Soul Savers album. The man has great taste obviously

  • Soul Savers does a lot of work with Will Oldham too. The cover of this is the B side to a Mark Lanegan penned song called Sunlight, sung by Will Oldham.

    ha ha good band!

  • I'd love them to do two EPs. One of Lanegan doing Oldham and another of Oldham doing Lanegan tunes.

    Why someone marked you down is anyone's guess, precious twit probably.

    Soulsavers version of this is brilliant, much like their version of Sunlight. Covers as they should be.

  • Oh cool, I didn't know that. Must track it down!

  • booah ehii so shööön <3

  • Thank you BILLY

    and R.I.P. ryan roush

  • lovely indeed. this is all you need.

  • This guy can write a song as good as anyone! Very original!!!!

  • you have to much, stucked in a traffic jam ;)

  • Bonnie Billy is great but early Palace is epic. I can't believe how much I still love these songs all these years later.

  • This song still brings me to a complete halt. The final "When you have no one, no one can hurt you" is heart breaking!

  • this was lovely - fantastic video
