So vivid, poignant, and well-written is A Little Bit of Everything that, hearing it for the first time today on XM Radio, I felt as if I were not just hearing but also seeing the song unfold.
Reminiscent of I Will Follow You Into the Dark or Murder in the City in how it can evoke so much emotion so easily. BTW, another shout out for the Current.
it isn't fair that songwriting can catch the depths of emotion so easily, that lyrics can wrench so deeply in such simple words. it isn't fair because makes me choke up every time.
I cry every time the current plays this... I'm on 3 cries in 2 weeks in the car. I agree - something very 'old' about this song. Reminds me of a hymn in a way I can't explain.
I just turned on my radio a little while ago and this is what I heard in a live presentation on The World Cafe. I didn't kow who it was, I just knew how it made me feel. I tracked it down and feel all the more better knowing who the artist is now. This is truely a stunning piece of writing. I'm not familiar with Dawes, but suspect I'll search out more music of theirs in the future.
So new, but so old. If this song was the one, the world would be a better, more understanding, place. Can Dawes please come to Australia, we need you.
My girlfriend and I danced to this song as we listened to it on the current. She began to cry and said she is worried about me. I've been fighting depression for quite some time. She made this song mean so much. This song is helping me fight. Simply beautiful.
This song is magical; one of the best songs I have ever heard. I love how authentic his voice sounds. He's not trying to sound beautiful, he's trying to sound real, and somehow, that ends up being all the more beautiful.
"it's like trying to make out every little word when you should simply hum along " such a well written line, a touching song. I heard it on 89.3 the Current here in Minnesota. something about this song stays with you.
This song has made me cry - it is so moving. I heard it on the radio - probably a US station (Paradise) that my other half likes. This group will go far in my opinion.
georgeous song, found this band today, a sad day for music with the loss of Clarence Clemons - Songs like this should restore faith in todays music, most notably the faith of people like levon and Robbie, Bruce, Jackson Browne and the late great Warren Zevon
This is very Jackson Brownesque or Jackson Browneish or it has Jackson Browne like qualities.My point is it sounds like something Jackson Browne would sing.
saw them at Headliner's in Louisville about 6 hours after they recorded this video. I couldn't help but ask Taylor to play "that new song" as he and the rest of the band were mingling during the opening act. Their encore opened with Taylor noting my specific request and continuing to play this beautiful song.
Gotta love Dawes AND the mighty fine 91.9 WFPK!!!!
WOnderful tune. Taylor has such a gift with truth and lyrics. I've seen two shows, and I am truly inspired as a musician and admire how Dawes has grown as a band and as musicians.
Its a little bit of everything i like... Neil Young, Warren Zevon, Bob Dylan, James Taylor

Musically I think this song draws inspiration from Jackson Browne's Christmas song entitled
"The Rebel Jesus." This is especially apparent on the album version, which leverages piano and steel guitar. Here's a link:
