I took my daughters to their first concert a few months ago and it was Augustana in a small bar. I only knew of this song prior to seeing them. It was a great concert and I will always think about what a fun night it was with my kids seeing them.

[@tokyopp]

you dont need to be in love or be sad to enjoy this beautiful song.

[@loganmohler737]

Or both?

[@joemarks8548]

What a stunningly elegant version.

[@youretheluckyone]

He has the most beautiful tone.

[@davidsharp3110]

My favorite tune from Augustana. It was in a dream I had, I guess that means this song stays forever.

[@leilacabral9597]

This is amazing... Dan is awesome. I'll never get enough of his kinda Willie Nelson kinda Bob Dylan tone of voice. I'll never get enough of this song...

[@translanguager]

Wonderful. Brings back very painful times, and still wonderful.

[@paulstevenwildlife]

Well done. Great tune.

[@Ergorexestu]

2024!! Listening to these songs captures an emotion words could never describe. I’m sorry Jennifer for everything

[@GreenDayLover212111]

This song makes me cry every time I hear it.

[@InsiderPh92]

2019 still listening..

[@darcibrawner7115]

My friend and I always say this little town we came to is our "Boston", because of this song... I always like to hear acoustic versions of my favorite songs and I was impressed by by this one...love it!

[@kendraheard1097]

Wow he sounds amazing live ❤

[@JGOIII1978]

In the light of the sun Is there anyone? Oh, it has begun Oh, dear, you look so lost Your eyes are red when tears are shed The world you must have crossed, you said You don't know me, you don't even care Oh yeah, you said You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains Oh yeah Essential yet appealed Carry all your thoughts Across an open field When flowers gaze at you They're not the only ones Who cry when they see you You said You don't know me, and you don't even care Oh yeah, you said You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains Oh yeah She said, I think I'm going to Boston I think I'll start a new life I think I'll start it over Where no one knows my name I'll get out of California I'm tired of the weather I think I'll get a lover I'll fly 'em out to Spain I think I'll go to Boston I think that I was tired I think I need a new town To leave this all behind I think I need a sunrise I'm tired of a sunset Here it's nice in the summer Some snow would be nice, oh yeah You don't know me, and you don't even care Oh yeah Boston Where no one knows my name No one knows my name No one knows my name Boston Where no one knows my name

[@jayanthidianagnanapathy1101]

Still sounds so good… still so moving

[@BrandonIslander]

This might be my favorite version of any of their songs, live, acoustic, or not

[@lainabelle64]

He has such a beautiful voice. I could listen to him all day!

[@LiberTBo]

Dan Laynus is a comer man. I'm a Boomer, and witnessed the rise of Bruce Springsteen. Jackson Brown, and others. Dan and Augustana are becoming the" new American band" The songwriting is becoming great and still growing. There are few like these guys. Stay with em' I plan to.

[@minime2354]

I am still enjoying this song so much...wow!

[@leofwacor]

This song never fails to bring me memories. =(

[@sandramaymitra529]

[@CamMacDonaldCovers]

[@Kathysings123]

ohmygosssh flawless. lovelovelove

[@1337l33ch3r]

Although I love the original version, this version just gets better the more I hear it. Sort of like a different level of this song.

[@Tuhtee1]

SO NICE !!

[@happycamper8707]

Pure talent.

[@fwuffleclouds15]

I appreciate he's changing his style of singing as he grows older which is perfectly normal and still amazing. But I still absolutely love this version - I was a bit worried he would choose not to hit the high notes but I wasn't left disappointed. :]

[@missolivia321]

Flawless. Absolutely beautiful..Wow. I love you Augustana. So much.

[@te_fanny]

finally i saw the band behind this song - the piano by david so cool! i really love the melody do relaxing :)

[@jacksdaddy13]

Music for the soul

[@michaeldavid4055]

soothing sound

[@markdavidapalisok6177]

Pure emotions

[@thaissagorberg5918]

yes , indeed...about the lyrics, whats your opinion:::: I feel like it fits me, that peple think they know me somehow , some because know me for ages, some because think my way of behaving can tell about who I am, or determine the way I think or even, can you believe that one FEEL!!! but theres a song, well Im a song addicted, among other passions of mine, of a national artist of my Country that on it he sings also a part ;;; you dont know me, dont you ever get to know me, you dont know at all ....feel so lonely.....!! weel as I started this converstation , since you wrote to feel the way I do when I listen to it, PURE EMOTIONS.... so back to the topic, do u feel like I do, that much people around me dont really get me, even thought they look and act as IF SO :::::>>>

[@thaissagorberg5918]

not a biggie if u dont feel like chating or sharing about that, specially here wide open and public 😉😉😉✌✌✌✌

[@jyng513]

awesome

[@MrNitsuj12]

Excellent...that's all I can say...that's all that can be said.

[@Zee_1003]

[@donnamurray1317]

Nice version!

[@seangentilechildsupport8858]

Nailed it!

[@Tota_cat]

💔💔 شكرا 😢

[@Wurhund]

정말 좋아요....

[@markdemers735]

Killed it tonight.. in front of 60,000 opening up for One Direction in Detroit... great job Dan!

[@winterramos4527]

he opened for one direction?

[@markdemers735]

winter ramos lol.. Yeah pretty funny.. But true.. At Ford Field..

[@winterramos4527]

+Mark Demers I guess he's doing his thing as a solo artist!! 60k ppl...that's not peanuts. Did the crowd enjoy his songs??

[@kjerstigjerde1082]

amazing. so much better than the original, and I love the original!!

[@nooneaplayasklub1479]

Private session are always the best...

[@steel196800]

Very talented

[@ejmrnd888]

My child will be named Augustana..

[@yuridaman]

Piano sounds wrong. Needs to be covered in waves.

[@craiyohn]

Lol

[@williamphillips1400]

Yuri Rudnev -- I can’t stop laughing...this made my day

[@saraalghamdi116]

Where did he what happened to him

[@caitlinmcgeoghean]

POV you love this song cause ur from Boston and ur parents used to vigorously sing this shit in the car lol

[@Knuckles102]

man i guess he just got older... and this is how his voice changed. im not dissing him in any way. Dan is an amazing singer. but i felt like he was more passionate with the way he used to sing. He was special in that way he could have a controlled shaky voice if that makes sense. But none the less this is still a flawless performance.

[@SphereProd]

@delaneyg94 Yeah I do but he is of course changing his voice here on purpose. I love his country voice but for this song I like the orignal childish voice which I know he possesses.

[@timd8524]

Wow, he sure can sing.👍

[@nancyfairweather3122]

also, this is just sung in a different mood... a much more intimate feel - appropriate for the smaller room, I think (and an acoustic guitar)

[@MrNitsuj12]

I like the Bob Dylan influence on this song. This is how Bob could have sounded had he tried to perfect his voice. Instead he perfected the art of songwriting, and that's why he had so many hits! Augustana -sadly enough- will always be remebered for this, and this alone. But what a beautiful song!

[@delaneyg94]

@SphereProd he's always been alt country at heart. and also age changes a voice.. you realize he was only 19 or 20 when this song first blew up?

[@のざわのあきらぶぅ]

素晴らしい。　感動です。

[@B-WINNN]

he sounds a little like Willie Nelson

[@Hitchens-t5c]

That's my first thought. When I first saw the video of Boston years past I thought that it sounded new punk rock, now it sounds very country, but very good nonetheless. Sings from the heart.

[@Andrea3604]

Completely different than the original version...interesting. But I still love it of course. It's Boston! :)

[@jbi]

I think it's a piano. I remember my school has a Augustana grand

[@osg0503]

@Knuckles102 I bet he can still do that if he wants do so. I think it's more about what he wants his music to be cuz his respected singers are Bob Dylan and other country singers.

[@chibi.catwaii]

i really love this song.......but does anyone know what augustana mean? i wanna know that

[@zekahadizade7561]

🤫🤫🤫🤫❤

[@sadem1045]

I really identify with this song.

[@richardsotto3233]

So much better than the studio version

[@chibi.catwaii]

thank you......maybe augustana means a guitar brand or model?

[@sebsnakebite]

The most beautiful song in the world brought to you by:.... Volkswagon

[@AndrewJG95]

that one dislike was cuz someone saw 123 likes and didn't want to ruin it

[@rexkanderson]

Way better than the original. Love the originality.

[@Fartslayer699]

Not sure on that.

[@blancospeaker9340]

and pop songs have million views

[@thaissagorberg5918]

lol big surprise !! what u expected::: lol If I had the stomach I would check KPOP views but I dont even wanna waste time doing that afff lol

[@jasonm9178]

What's funny is when this came out it WAS what was on the "pop" mainstream stations....lol damn devil

[@obec245rl]

Its the pedal guitar...Nice

[@L3golASS]

Signifikant

[@jasonenglish3988]

B-strong

[@donchinosabile6474]

[@SheenerLock]

Even better than original. Kudos

[@TheCheesyNachos]

what's the instrument played by the leftmost guy?

[@GuitarRocks360]

Pedal lap steel guitar

[@edierose6767]

I miss the original.

[@chinchin9632]

Is this his real voice?

[@thaissagorberg5918]

lol

[@GuitarType01]

This sounds different than the studio version, in a good way

[@StevenRemley]

I like both the original and this.. But vocally this better Emotionally the original

[@lftblinker]

Before he sounded like Dan Laynus, now he sounds like Bob Dylan. New voice is great, but I prefer that he sounds like himself, and not someone else. Still an amazing song.

[@yallkidssuck]

Dan Layus is the original voice.

[@Debunis]

Im here for scrubs. Thank you.

[@nrapiera]

My boi Ashton Kutcher is such a good singer!

[@MrNitsuj12]

This is 111 times better than the studio version.

[@SphereProd]

I guess it's alla about adapting to the instruments and feelings but why has he changed his voice into a country like tone? It's cool but I still want his original voice back.

[@MrNitsuj12]

When that pitiful, pathetic feeling gets the best of you, this is what it sounds like.

[@yngor123]

I rather like the old dan with that gay emo hair style. He used to sing better

[@jeji000]

The dude on the piano looks like spiderman.

[@aajustjay]

James Garfield

[@bluebluebananaxx]

jeji000 g

[@zaynab9768]

You mean Tom Garfield

[@kenvegas]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@thaissagorberg5918]

lol crackin up here

[@justinross8514]

Why do these guys look so poor? I bought all their albums. You would think that would have at least paid for a new jacket.

[@TeaIsLove]

Don't see anything wrong with the style of their clothes tbh

[@glenxoseph]

did you buy their first album "midwest skies and sleepless mondays"?

[@mikalbrown3227]

Justin Ross 😂😂😂

[@chrismartinez4979]

Justin Ross Lmfao 2X

[@jemmarcibal8302]

lmfao!!
