Greg Laswell - Comes and Goes (In Waves) live

On stage is Greg Laswell, Brandon Walters on guitar and background vocals courtesy Jesca Hoop. Greg and Brandon both are really great down to earth guys--the type to help you out in a jam if you needed them AND they're extremely funny. I really lucked out actually, a friend (so that he could have a cigg) and I were out on the blue hued patio of the venue (The Doug Fir Lounge in Portland, Oregon) we were the only 2 people out there and along came Greg and Brandon (also in need of a nicotine fix). So we just chilled and had a chat, under the heat of the overhead gas lamps, before the show. They were nice enough to have their picture taken with me too!!
lyrics:
This one's for the lonely
The ones that seek and find
Only to be let down
Time after time

This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves, I....

This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They're only where they are now
Regardless of their fight

This one's for believing
If only for it's sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves,
I...am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I...am only led to wonder why
Why I try

This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can

It comes and goes in waves,
I...am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I...am only led to wonder why
Why I try

Oh, man, The lyrics are so beautiful, relatable, and literate.

This is for the ones who stand

For the ones who try again

For the ones who need a hand

For the ones who think they can

Fuckin amazing song!

[harryginnyalways]

@thisiscrazyfunny ha i just tried but he has too many friends now :( 5000

[narutoninjaXD]

@jackette55 I'm pretty sure that he was dedicating that part of the song to her, whoever she may be, and wondering if she remembered him. Also, it's called poetic license, in a song, not everything has to be gramatically correct.

@thisiscrazyfunny He's from San Diego I think

[jakeaboulafia]

this songs good! :)

this is a good video - i love greg laswell! thanks for posting :)

[bodiltje]

I think that he means that this part of the song is dedicated to her.

[6Nora6]

maybe he changed to the the meta level and is talking about a part in the song, he wrote for a girl and already played to her ..so she remembers...but now he changed it, cut it out or simply dedicated it to all the others: The ones who meet a.m. etc. :)

[aslizakia]

Él dice "esta parte fue para ella" - significa que esa parte del canto es para una mujer en su vida, yo pienso.

[jackette55]

[micuentayutub1]

Haha, they are the most fav of mine in the song. I keep telling my brother to give this song a chance and I tell him the lyrics are good but he just shuns it. :( He doesn't know what he's missing.

Yeah, I heard this song on Grey's Anatomy. They have a nice music soundtrack.
