Grandaddy - The Warming Sun

In a dream
You were sitting there waiting by the door for me
And I got the opportunity
To experience the experience once again
How it could have maybe been

But in real life
You're in another world
You're with another guy
Who doesn't have to cheat
And never has to lie
And all that stuff I didn't get
Comes so easy to him
He doesn't even have to try

But do you ever ask yourself
How it could have maybe been

I haven't been that bad
But I haven't been that good
Overmisunderstood
Oh I wish I really could
Enjoy the warming sun
Enjoy a warm someone
And end the need to hide
Away alone inside

No I haven't been that bad
But I haven't been that good
Overmisunderstood
Oh I wish I really could
Enjoy the warming sun
Enjoy a warm someone
And end the need to hide
Away alone inside

In a dream
You were sitting there waiting by the door for me
I said hey you, get out of my fog
I said hey you, get out of my fog...

is it just me or at the begining there should be a "do you ever ask yourself".... how it could have maybe been... ?

[maniaczek91]

It's hard to say :P When I listen this on headphones it seems to Jason sings "But do you ever ask yourself" ;-)

what a great song and a boring video...Lytle deserves better dude.

[maniaczek91]

@benlcosta , First, I didn't try to make a typical song's videoclip.

Second, the most important part for me was title 'warming sun' that alongside with natural environment give atmosphere of this tune really good. And I assembled principally about it.

Third, it was recorded by phone so quality isn't good enough.

I think if Lytle saw it he would be happy.

He's modest man ;)

i liked the video. nice field.

Amazing song. Of all the stunning Jason Lytle compositions, this track slays me every time. As song writing goes it doesn't get much better than this.

[snirest]

they are my favorite band, so its hard for me to pick one, but i think it is their most beautiful song and one of the most beautiful songs ever written. jason lytle is realy a poet. and his sense for poignancy is uncanny.

At first I was gonna say you should have taken out the audio from your recording, but I realized that it kinda fits in with the song. I like this a lot.

@benlcosta Hahahahaha Man. Look at you. Top Lytle authority. I bet you're best friends with him right?

Get bent and while you're at it, try getting a clue too.

this is my favorite Grandaddy song... so solemn but so beautiful

@monkeywrench666 A perfect description

[spolier]

Beautiful beautiful song

The visuals work well with the song. It's about remembering and past regrets. The video looks aged and disorted, like memories become. And it looks a lot like the Central Valley (at least the warming sun part) Good Job!
