Greta Van Fleet - The Weight of Dreams (Lyrics)

[@ajmossinaz]

This album literally has no holes. It's solidly beautiful and masterful from top to bottom. I love it!! Best album I've ever heard. Thank you GVF!!!!

[@Paulchafer]

Ordered and arrives on Monday. If weight of dreams is anything to go by then I’m in for a treat!

[@ajmossinaz]

@@Paulchafer It’s sonically and lyrically beautiful. Weight of Dreams is amazing and try Trip the Light Fantastic (live version on line; it’s amazing as is the album as a whole

[@kevinz8930]

These young men need to be declared a National Treasure and protected at all costs!!

[@LibertarianRF]

Nations are illusions

[@mattsbaseballcardbreaks5952]

The only ones who will attack them will be the huge record labels who want them to sell their souls. If GVF blows up suddenly and goes supernova, we'll know what happened. Selling out literally means just that.

[@kareyannefoster]

I agree one hundred percent!!!

[@Maria-hb8mb]

Why are these guys not number one in the world? I'm totally gobsmacked that I only got to know of them this week through tik tok. I am finally living again, totally in love with them.

[@ShriekinWizard]

If you get a chance to see them live do it. I saw them in Little Rock and am considering flying to Tucson to see them again. They're absolutely unreal.

[@ajmossinaz]

4:47 into this video is pure magic! Josh's wailing "call to arms" sounds like a fighter jet in full afterburner, and he then hands off the performance to Jake's epic guitar "call to arms" (Peaceful as they may be). We need to love our world and each other, not because of GVF, but because its the right thing to do. And yet, I do love GVF's messages of love, peace and taking care of each other and our home. Thanks GVF! Please keep up the beautiful work of art! We love it and you!

[@Mystic.CleopatraVII]

This was such a sweet read and I completely agree. My sister is a huge fan and got me into them. Can’t wait to see them live.

[@jmal716]

There are certain classic movies or video games that people play over and over again because they are timeless, and a song like this is in that category for sure. I’ll be playing this for my kids one day. Thanks Greta Van Fleet!

[@roccodifranco7866]

This album gives me hope for the future of Rock 😮

[@Paulchafer]

This band is the best thing around for a long time,

[@irisbrown7267]

It will always be here. Sometimes it's just hard to find.😏

[@kareyannefoster]

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!!! Sincerely, have you ever heard a song or a band that just completely takes your breath away??? I am sobbing!!! in the last couple of months since my son introduced me to Greta Van Fleet, I have fallen completely in love with this band Josh Kizka (sp). has a voice that is beyond this earth.. This is the music, and this is the man that angels listen to in Heaven.

[@HoneybeeD3966]

❤❤❤ Love you, and all the Zep riffs you incorporated. Your and you are your own band,, Ty for bringing this vibe alive again,! Stay well and rock on! ❤❤❤❤

[@royalangel311]

WOW!! born with music in their souls....something. endurance , guitar playing, Josh's voice.....all musicians

[@ianstevenson6426]

In a pole of best solos of the 21st century, this solo won. It's pretty great

[@paulinepetersen4606]

Vocals, Guitar Riffs, and the Best Band in the World✌️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🌹

[@mikegoodlock7821]

I’m dying to see the boys from my home State of Michigan.

[@christinasummers3745]

my opinion btbam is the best rock band all their songs are WAY different than other rock songs every song is unique and their songs dont ever keep the same beat and style it changes through out the song their drummer and guitar players can play any song by ear first try its crazy their guitar plalyers are so flipping great and the drummer is the fasted drummer ive ever seen i dream to be as good as them one day but this band is good to just not as good as btbam 🎵🎸🎸🎧🤘🤘

[@stephenjones2404]

Man Greta van fleet has some good jams!

[@kmddmd1]

No words beyond STELLAR! ❤

[@willchastain6436]

These guys are speaking hard truths in this song. Well done.

[@marrz8244]

100 percent

[@ElectricRay]

really? I take my hat off to you if you can extract any syntactical content from, let alone a "hard truth". "all across the west we travelled wayward for". What on earth does that mean?

[@mikegoodlock7821]

@@ElectricRay it’s symbolic traveling across the US to search for gold. Don’t take life and wealth for granted because it could bite you in the ass.

[@ElectricRay]

@@mikegoodlock7821 I am obliged, sir. Epigrammatic nuggets from Led Zeppelin-fixated kids with below par basic literacy skills. Good-oh.

[@afurinperil]

@@ElectricRay The song is a warning about seeking wealth at the cost of everything else. "the queen is dead. we robbed her grave." as with any good song, the lyrics can be interpreted a number of ways but the general theme and message is pretty clear.

[@djcrane65]

They have proven they are capable of greatness.

[@terribongers2465]

Nice touch putting Some of the video from Red Rocks!

[@mikegoodlock7821]

Love that guitar 🎸 slide. Sounds awesome!

[@nakatakafka]

That solo is fucking amazing.

[@divye.ruhela]

The intro is just mind-blowing, level legendary, hall of fame stuff!

[@Hardlight835]

That transition around 4:50 is awesome. Similar to Pink Floyd's voice and saxophone fusion in Gunner's Dream.

[@rosiedotz4117]

Stfu😷🙄

[@ajmossinaz]

The transition is magical. I feel like I'm listening to music from the Gods.

[@yvonnesaunders550]

Outstanding! Love that this familiar vibe made it's way onto a studio album. It's always been one of my favorite live jams. Iconic Greta Van Fleet. Great work, guys. Now, lets talk guitar, because...YEAH. For me, anyway, this is quintessentual Jake Kiszka. This is the guitar sound, quality, tone, vibe, emotion (!) that I associate most with Jake's work. And I know that's quite a statement. Because the 'Magic Man' can do it all. Grinding, grungy, down and dirty, to breezy, ethereal, break-your-heart-with-love-and-joy. There's no emotion for which he doesnt have a rich vocabulary. Ok. I know Im gushing. But that doesnt make it less true. Rock on, guitar man. You are the beating heart of four generations, and counting. ✌💖🤝

[@ShriekinWizard]

I always imagine the character in this song as a mid 1800s American seeking their Manifest Destiny travelling westward with their family toward promises of untold riches and infinite prosperity... as the song goes on you see and feel the hardships and loss and realization of what they've gotten themselves into...with the final clean guitar ending being the dying thoughts of the father, left alone in the world with only himself to blame...

[@marianakayden9701]

Josh❤❤❤. Greta van fleet

😮 My soul just evolved

[@natasjaaustin]

You guys are just incredible !!!!!

[@locaIdipshit]

my favorite gvf song, ever ever ever.

[@kevinz8930]

What a voice!!

[@lucabellagotti6636]

This is incredible

[@mikegoodlock7821]

Josh is so damn good he gives me goosebumps ❤️

[@dylanroberts2277]

This song wasn't long enough.. I'm gonna need another version where it Just continues until I shut off my truck.

[@hawk4192]

Glorious

[@VHVS29]

So good ☺️😮 best rock group keep it up 💪💪

Soul scream at 4:20

[@paolonigrelli1999]

Beautiful song!!!!!

[@stephenjones102]

They played this in Vegas last weekend. Pretty fucking awesome.

[@raymondforcierjr.2837]

This is KILLA🤘🏻😛🤘🏻

[@ajmossinaz]

I initially felt this video was low-budget and perhaps it is, but I have since come to love the presentation. Adding the live performance imagery through the clouds at certain points in the video adds an element of spirituality to the video which I love. Thank you GVF!!

[@GRETAVANFLEETLIVE]

I'm just a fan and you're right, I made this video with a android cellphone so, this video is kinda shit in quality

[@joelletendre1011]

Great tune. Reminds me of Quicksand Jesus by Skid Row.

[@kevinz8930]

Awesome song

[@goodghostchannel1903]

Like This Song ...I am From Borneo Island...

[@yudhistirazaidan7875]

Salam rock indo

[@oncefedlies]

I’m just curious… why a thumbs down? I found this song very emotionally charged. So I am baffled by a thumbs down….. curious to the reason and explanation

[@SquidSquab]

Probably a GVF hater that thinks they are a cover band for LZ

[@afurinperil]

A lot of people just hate them. They think they're just ripping off Led Zeppelin. People bitch and moan for decades that no one is making this kind of music anymore, then a band comes along and does it really well and all they do is complain like they're treading on some sacred ground. it's fucking sad. Like even if they did sound just like Led Zeppelin (which they don't), you're really gonna complain? fuck off

[@oncefedlies]

@@SquidSquab well sadly for them they are missing out on what I feel from this band. To each their own

[@oncefedlies]

@@afurinperil 🙌💯 exactly….. well said…. People just like to bitch I suppose. If the worse someone can say is that they sound like a zepp ripoff? Lol It’s not much of legitimate complaint imo

[@afurinperil]

@@oncefedlies it would be like complaining that a band sounds kind of like pink floyd... just enjoy the fact that someone is making music like this again, especially when they're really good at it. if greta van fleet had been around in the 70's, no one would be complaining

[@rossanocrivellari6028]

Super 👍❤

[@spiritualseeking568]

Love it

[@corinnaw3420]

Sooo fine

[@nylonsteel]

Love GVF though I think Lionel Ritchie's 'Hello' was channeled subconsciously the day they composed this song ;)

[@Ohio45545]

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@ed_cot]

Amazing song! So progressive!

[@jamescross9995]

On the topic of these guys using or sounding like there are led zeps influences you have to realize these kids are in their early twenties led Zeppelin was 50 years ago that would be like saying anyone or anything that has ANY influence or tone or anything that could be FRANK SINATRA , MUDDY, HOWLIN WOOF, RUSH, THE WHO , Is off limits to future artist. We would absolutely have no music to enjoy at all. The list of bands I made above it's just a beginning when you put them all out there there's thousands and thousands and it reads out like a road map or more appropriately like a timeline . You wouldn't put a digital calculator behind an abacus in the timeline it has to be the other way around such as music

[@chuckAWD]

Absolutely very well said.

[@spookislandd]

I really like The Weight of Dreams way too much than Black Flag Exposition

[@Luma1313]

me too but i’m waiting for that one like 3 years

[@Tityretupatulae]

Where is your supposedly glorious indie channel you were supposed to start when you decided to delete all your GVF bootlegs? I wrote you an email months ago. I have your money. I wanna purchase your GVF library. Are you scared of money or what?

[@spookislandd]

@@Tityretupatulae why so rude? I started my own band and im in college studying music so I dont have the time to keep the channel active. But I would like to, there’s so many bands that i would like people to know.

[@spookislandd]

@@Tityretupatulae if you still want the archive give me a few weeks so I can process all the audios, they are quite a few and they take time and work.

[@jimballardband]

I believe the first verse is written incorrectly. Shouldn’t it be “find” the weight of dreams in gold? Not found?

[@GRETAVANFLEETLIVE]

You're right, I saw wrong in my by booklet :(

[@chasedale194]

this aged well

[@marrz8244]

😥True history of AMERICAS ✌🤘

[@ElectricRay]

where's the bit about stone henge and the dawn of history though? That's the best bit! I WAS WAITING FOR IT AT 2:20 BUT NOTHING. This is so bad it is genius. Look, it is one thing to take all the words that have ever featured in a Led Zeppelin song and feed them into a randomiser, to see what comes out - you never know right? - but to then just leave them *exactly as they came out* not even correcting the grammar or making them into whole idiomatic phrases that mean anything - that is really brave.

[@Jae..9..]

Which exact lz songs? Specific examples? That’s what I thought. Wow, another failed musician going out of his way to show his jealousy. Don’t blame you at all. Haters are proof you’re doing something right.

[@ElectricRay]

@@Jae..9.. all of them! throw them all in a hopper, jumble them up, pull them out, string some words together, and what have you got!

[@Jae..9..]

@@ElectricRay so if you feel that way, why not just go on with your life? Why the compulsion to go out of your way to be an asshole because you don’t like them?

[@ElectricRay]

One man's gentle teasing of a globally successful pop group is another man's going out of his way to be an arsehole, I suppose. Perhaps ask yourself why you have gone out of your way to get so upset about it?

[@gojangojana8428]

Gret van fleet Vs deep purple

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

Opening chords are close to Bucketheads leadin.

dam yo that’s a Led Zeppelin riff in the beginning……cmon now
