Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Mercy

Robert Turner from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club stopped by The Current for a live acoustic performance and to share some conversation with Mark Wheat. minnesota.publi...

This is how you write and perform a song. BRMC are the most criminally underrated artists in their or any musical genre.

[@pixiescam]

Bad Cat doesn't matter how they're rated. What matters is those who love them know.

[@ShinyRacer22]

Cam Allen Amen to that my man

[@pinchejuarezfeo]

They dont need fame when They have SOUL

[@garybalfour3953]

Please leave them that way 😂 what a band they do what they want real fans know them that's all that matters

[@MrSwitchblade327]

holy shit the lyrics of this song take me back to my youth and the girl who was supposed to be. 13 years later my story has a happy ending and we're finally married but god damn what a price to pay for being young,dumb, and arrogant. if id only known then the pictures on our wall would look very different and paint a more Beautiful picture. you never know what that one mistake may do to the rest of your life.point being,fellas,if you have a girl that is faithful and loves you no matter then dont break it cause you may spend your lifetime trying to get it back. and some may never.

[@the_walrus67]

my story went the other way. Didnt end up with the girl. But hey.. live and learn. Congrats on your happy ending and may your journey together be filled with more joy.

[@pixiescam]

My heart is breaking. This speaks for me, BRMC have always found a way to speak to me. Through my darkest days. I love this band with all my heart, whether or not Pete is there.

[@MirrorlessFrame]

Check out the BRMC live video I just posted of Mercy from 2008! Cheers from Los Angeles!

[@lorenzolopez3273]

You and Peter Hayes, have inspired me, motivated me and essentially taught me to play guitar. I am grateful thankyou

[@blablue7]

well there you go...*tears* .....it's like -10°C outside,but as I was walking through the park,listening to this I felt like a thousand burning suns.such a sad song but so hauntingly beautiful. it's just brilliant,enjoyed every chord :)

[@ScreamingTc]

Perfect song for those nights where your heart breaks a little after bumping into someone you have a soft spot for, but can't ever have...

[@seantherevelator4896]

Peter and robert have such amazing voices on top of being the new lennon and mccartney of songwriting really. Saw robert play this live in st louis when he came out to do his acoustic songs during a break. He nailed it just like this. Such a legendary band when they were doing howl

[@margovspolo]

this band is incredible in every way, shape and form. They need to be known and given credit for how amazing they are

[@littleroom333]

I love Robert. BRMC is seriously one of the best bands out there.

[@bradblazer]

Same story for me as well. I played the butt out of this song when I too was horribly fucked over. I learned to play and sing it on guitar. I weep internally almost every time I hear it. What would we be without music? Really....It's always there when you need it.

[@115thDream]

Howl is one of the best cd's of the last decade. Yes, I can say this with a straight face and mean it too. Thanks!

[@OleksandrNos]

it is 2015 now and this is still nice song

[@monsterface]

I could listen to this man sing for hours.

[@Angelogrounge]

Beautiful, brmc is one of the best bands on this days. not all the pop shit that calls rock, Brmc rules. respect him and this beautiful song.

[@orbitmonkey5267]

I've always wondered, how come this song never made it to an album. I've been playing this song more times then i remember on my guitar. Unfortunately on this damn ocasion the lyrics ring true to my life. Thnx!

[@gymrachel]

a song that encapsulates and tells it like it is

[@DodjeeBarry]

the blues are beautiful and BRMC shows it at its best

[@McFishKing]

I really like this. I could listen to it easily over and over again without wanting to turn it off. They are really amazing.

[@garrethdavis]

beautiful i listenen to this song like nostop when i got dumped ad horribly fucked over. it helped me so much but now i cry everytime i hear it.

[@JasonCope97]

Best song in the world. This guy is properly talented. I Love BRMC next year the new CD I'm soo happy

[@cmglennon]

@McFishKing so so true. Been in love with this band since 2002/2003 and I PRAISE the lord! There aint no band like them. Amazing live and never get boring. This song is so so effotless and addictive too!

[@eehow]

This one and Audioslave's i am the highway hit me hard. 💯

[@archerpt1]

Best band ive ever seen live

[@Happyfull55]

Robert, your voice sounds like heaven...

[@bryansoto3230]

For anyone who's confused, its Robert Levon Been. But he went under the pseudonym Robert Turner, in the first couple albums of BRMC.

[@LeChatNoir-z8h]

Time stands too still Left you there for the kill But this hope that sorrow bleeds Leaves a man with nothing There’s just no mercy in your eyes There ain’t no time to set things right And I’m afraid I’ve lost the fight I’m just a painful reminder Another day you leave behind Love grows so thin Suits your taste for bitter ends But this ache that holds you in Leaves no place to begin There’s just no mercy in your eyes There ain’t no time to set things right And I’m afraid I’ve lost the fight I’m just a painful reminder Another day you leave behind Words seem so blind I’ve been pushed far aside Soon my choice seems too small Any move and I could fall There’s just no mercy in your eyes child There ain’t no time to set things right And I’m not preaching to the choir I’m just a painful reminder And you’re a fool satisfied

[@tvalvi99]

this song always great with a drink and a friend...BRMC is my band!!

[@dannyfromhungary]

just...wooow O.o can´t describe it with words

[@2thin2swim]

I'm definitely catching you up! Think I'm on about 200. 5 times a day isn't abnormal is it? Think it's the best BRMC song ever! Robert Levon Been you are a dreeeeam x x x

[@odinmp5]

i tought it was all me.. thnak go im not the only brmc freak around. im seeing them tomorrow in bogota colombia. and i am the happiest boy in town.

[@daniel22bg]

[@bLaZed1099]

[@Frase2006]

My fave band ever!

[@Johnhamiltonmusic]

[@magdagra1]

Feelings....

[@backshotsforthewin2023]

[@boybuddha]

[@wouhoulifeisamazing]

1991NeonAngel They do, 2 actually. One was released in 2009 and features 3 shows and another in 2010 in London.

[@roadresident]

so great, indeed. i love it..

[@jonathancurran2737]

This is the best version out of all the ones I heard but the last added verse ( not on the recorded howl ep sessions) it always seems to have different lyrics ... But this one seems to be .... "Why won't you see .. Truth ... Why won't you feel ... Love ... I'm on my knees ... In song ... Ah ohh oh ...x2." I've been there brother what a song '?!?

[@rockygirl87]

@davidzomec " And so, why can't you see child, why won't you feel love, im on my knees. And on, why can't you speak child, why can't you dream on, im on my knees. And so on, why won't you see child, why can't you feel love im on my knees, im right here for you."

[@tohardori]

Perfect ❤️

[@ronar28]

I believe its "in sorrow" on the 1st and 3rd verse of the outro. Thats how I sing it when I play it.

[@Whatsername778]

He's amazing

[@srrlIdl]

@iggytheboilerman The Howl sessions EP, released in 2006, featuring unreleased tracks from the Howl sessions.

[@lennonchick]

He has got a really nice voice..

[@JulesWinwood]

incredible, the only word that's left to say.

[@halloheimur]

great song

[@soulkiss1001]

@SeveralBirds -hes the son of the late and gifted michael been singer of the band the call with semi hit let the day begin

[@peelypeel]

I think its you that is beautiful

[@occyoccy]

BRMC RULES!!!

[@sicness_3183]

Lyrics: Time stands too still, Left you there for the kill, But this hope that sorrow bleeds, Leaves a man with nothing, There's just no mercy in your eyes, There ain't no time to set things right, And I'm afraid I've lost the fight, I'm just a painful reminder, Another day you leave behind, Love grows so thin, Suits your taste for bitter ends, But this State that holds you in, Leaves no place to begin, There's just no mercy in your eyes, There ain't no time to set things right, And I'm afraid I've lost the fight, I'm just a painful reminder, Another day you leave behind, Words seem so blind, I've been pushed far aside, Soon my choice seems too small, Any move and I could fall, There's just no mercy in your eyes, There ain't no time to set things right, And I'm not preaching to the choir, I'm just a painful reminder, And you're a fool satisfied, And so, Why can't you see, child, Why won't you feel, love, I'm on my knees, And now, Why wont you speak, child, Why wont you dream, more, I'm on my knees, In Time, Why wont you see, child, Why wont you feel, love, I'm on my knees, I'm right here for you.

[@gwk4657]

Good job on your video I liked it very much!

[@SeveralBirds]

@soulkiss1001 Thanks. I'm actually well aware of who he is. BRMC is my favourite band. I was referring more the fact that he is addressed here as Robert Turner, and name which he stopped using several years ago... though, he is more than just Robert Been's son. He's a talented musician in his own right.

[@M1cha1987m1]

einfach nur geil

[@backshotsforthewin2023]

I'm not crazy, I'm just honest. some people just get better at something than others. Dylan's history and a legend of course...

[@alexanderkyle2032]

Cracking song 👌✌️

[@angelsam]

Awesome..

[@michaelcouffer]

only a rockstar can wear those shades

[@carokapranos]

for me! :P :P thank you robert :)

[@MrNicKO81]

spread your love (for them) like a fever my friend ;)

[@MrNicKO81]

It may seem a little steep to say that but I kinda hope they never get that much praise and attention... don't get me wrong, i don't think they don't deserve as much (probalbly even more) than a lot of others we see all over the media but so far, as you are acknowledging they are one of the greatest bands around at the moment and I think that kind of quality in music a lot of us are looking for is due to a fragile balance that fame, money and shit like that could disturb. Would be a damn shame.

[@RhoenManni]

great!

[@narcissusnarcosis]

just about as close to being perfect as possible.....

[@mistamojorising]

IT's a B minor, then he appears to go back to A then G. It's the same chord prog as the outro to the song, just with some singing over the top of it. Hope this helps :D

[@vincent.taylor3306]

There is more, we just haven't found them. I hope you take comfort in this

[@o0musiic0o]

Superb

[@thejollylamas]

my guess would be 68-78 martin D28.. but it sounds like a takamine through my crappy laptop speakers.. no matter.. this guy knows how to write freakin' great song!!

[@Sincuedom]

GREAT

[@1991NeonAngel]

do they have a live album? if not, they should come out with one, they are fantastic!

[@oswaldogarcia4144]

They have a live album, but not new songs. I have it on my iPod. It's pretty awesome.

[@mykhealmoon3719]

They have 3 now!... highly recommended...

[@marycigarettes]

yes

[@garrethdavis]

true that

[@MRM0J0RISIN777]

anyway happy chrismas

[@hY-ug8vn]

One tree hill 💕

[@leew63]

class

[@brianallen4297]

Great song, never heard of this band before and i am 60. Must check them out

[@Frase2006]

comfy goodness :-)

[@HubirdOL]

@iggytheboilerman I have the Live Album and it's definitely on it. It's track 8! I don'z know which list you have, but it's wrong. I could give you the list if you want to.

[@davidzomec]

@rockygirl87 Great! Thanks!!! :)

[@HazelnutPohl]

Impressive

[@ezus4giveSdaLostDont]

Aspen it is,Lloyd, Aspen it is..

[@madelinek2310]

❤

[@humanbass]

Why is this amazing perfomance in 240p? If it were at least 360 it would have much better audio.

[@DowserGratt]

because this was in 2007 :)

[@Mirabelle025]

He's wearing a Mississippi Nights shirt!!

[@RootJoy]

Can smb helps me with lyric? I tried to understand and I felt the pain when I lestened to this, but I can't understand about what this?

[@MirrorlessFrame]

Check out the BRMC live video I just posted of Mercy from 2008! Nice video mate, Cheers from Los Angeles!

[@FhukdMr]

Thump up

[@iggytheboilerman]

Does anyone know what album this is on?I have all their albums exept for Howl and Live and its not on the track list for them.

[@ffeeddeeeeddeeff]

does somebody knows the lyrics of the last part? i love this version

[@ranveerkumar5791]

ffeeddeeeeddeeff hey improv an extra part @ the end of the song live: yeah and so why can't you see child why won't you feel love I'm on my knees yeah and on why won't you speak child why can't you dream on I'm on my knees yeah and so on why won't you see child why can't you feel love I'm on my knees I'm right here for you

[@garrethdavis]

think thats cos there's something like 4 guitar tracks, 3 vocal, and a piano in the recording =)

[@riomoto]

I love how he's not wearing any shoes.

[@Bammalot]

Like a better Bob Dylan...... Great Song

[@rockygirl87]

HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?! WHAT FOR? and again, HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT? They're just perfect, and they BOTH are BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB, A FUCKING GREAT BAND, so why do you say that? Im curious, i would like you to explain your point please.

[@davidzomec]

What is he saying at the last verses?? my english understanding still not great :S

[@martymars]

This is good, but I like when they're rockin out..

[@backshotsforthewin2023]

I never said it was a competition... his feeling for music or his 'expression' is better than Dylan's. I compare whoever i want. i hope you don't mind that.

[@earlefan]

I think the last line is "I'm ready for you"

[@lestranged]

I think it is "I'm right here for you". Seen him sing it live a few times and that's how I hear it.

[@chrislopez3678]

woot

[@Buckshot-00]

You know the cameraperson is not a guitar player when they studiously avoid getting the headstock in frame long enough to see the brand clearly! 😠 Unless informed otherwise, I'll assume he's playing a Martin here.
