Lyrics:
Sitting in the back seat of my car
With my arms around my guitar
And the rain falls, from the roof of the world
Nothing around, just the trees and the ground
There's a bird in a tree singing a song, just for me
Just for me
Ah, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da
I've been down for oh so long
It seemed like my soul was dead and gone
But it's alright, I'm back in the fight
I thought my day would never come
Maybe it won't, but I'll have fun
And I'll hold tight, 'cause that way it might
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da da
Oh I know I'll be down again with my old friend
This friendship never ends
The blues is always the same
The blues is always the same
Well I don't know just where I am
I'm a nowhere man, I'm a desperate Dan
But I'll find out, maybe if I shout
Give me your hand, I'll give you my mind
It's a fair exchange if you're deaf, dumb and blind
And we're sold out, well that's what it's all about
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da da
Ah!

Underrated song. The most beautiful song Labi has ever released, and it’s a tough competition. I love you Labi Siffre

[@originaluddite]

As good as any 70s singer-songwriter but I only discovered him recently on the Radiooooo website. Such command of melancholy as something that can be beautiful.

[@SW-kq3eq]

Thank you HBO for this amazing gift of a song.

[@rebajado]

Definition of a hidden gem... 💎

[@BabyHuey-nz3we]

Labi...a genius. Such a beautiful writer and even more beautiful as a singer.

[@niaray2215]

[@TristanReginato-xz5hx]

It was used well in that last episode tho

[@jackjax532]

Some artists just have that extra something special. 💖

[@massielbarros-torning7292]

Bravo! Perfect song to compliment Season 3, Episode 9: Bulletproof of HACKS. It has that “life goes on feel” with complex feelings, and uplifting tones to a dramatic episode.❤

[@Jay_Bird]

Hacks fans holla!!!! Ava rose up during this song!

[@Josh-os7vn]

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG labi never missed

[@klfprankster]

A great track from an excellent album. If you dont know the album, do yourself a favour and give it a listen. Labi is a great talent who deserves greater recognition for his wonderful song writing and amazing vocals. Let's hope there will be new material soon.

No bullshit, amazing album I gave Labi deep dive when I figured out Kanye sampled him a few years ago

[@Spree2.0]

Not just Kanye we're talking about Mr. Hi my name is himself, the Goats Goat 🐐​@@888MAZZI

[@tvtunez]

Nick Drake, Jackson C. Frank, Bert Jansch, and John Martyn are the sort of feeling I get from your music. Thank you for sharing!

[@mankydave67]

His vibe absolutely reminds me of Nick Drake!!

Unmatched classic

[@xrk2983]

My speaker hit me with that bass I was like holy heck

[@houstonwehaveagamermoment]

I used to pray for times like this

[@seekthetruth1485]

[@ibrahiymmuhammad4773]

Kansas definitely stole this song and called it dust in the wind
