Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem / Horrible Crowes) - 'Behold The Hurricane' Live at Crossroads NJ

[@RyanSmith-uc2ei]

So underrated. One of the greatest songwriters of our generation

[@siddmic]

Ryan Smith His use of pros, metaphor, and imagery is beyond most.

[@ericferraro6264]

Sid McLeod I taught AP Literature for a number of years. One of the best lessons I ever taught was the lyrics to this song, completely stripped of punctuation and structure. Also, I let on that Brian Fallon was a reclusive poet. Just the words and kids had to decipher the aforementioned and interpret. It was incredible to see what the kids could extract from the text.

[@scottiestephens1330]

@@ericferraro6264 I would be interested to hear about some of these interpretations

[@ericferraro6264]

Scottie Stephens the majority of kids interpreted the narrator (Brian) taking on the metaphor of a hurricane. Destroying everything in its path, including this relationship. The “home” they built has been decimated by Brian’s destruction. The personification of the wind adds a nice twist to it.

[@melinahoefels9807]

He most definitely is! Always come back to his songs and feel right at home

[@jasmith2706]

I love his face at around 14 seconds when the crowd start joining in with him, looks like sheer happiness.

[@aesstricker]

I know it's three years old at this point. But this song, this performance...it is still absolute perfection. I listen to this daily still, never gets old.

[@bookadaycontent]

Brian Fallon's voice sounds like a brilliant combination of Springsteen and Waits. There is a deep Jersey influence and it translates beautifully. He is far too underated, it's only recently I stumbled across his music and now can't imagine my life without it.

[@staygold902]

His talent is massive. I mean massive

[@BruceGaslightAnthemFallon]

"I age by years at the mention of your name" Wow, that is pure poetry!

[@joedoherty4570]

This recording is just utterly wonderful: the music, the camerawork, Brian, the crowd, the venue. Basically all of it!

[@Jackzay90]

someone could hire Brian Fallon to sing 'Amazing Grace' at a funeral and he'd sing the entire song with a smile on his face.

[@alivewthegloryoflove]

oh that smile when he hears the fans sing. *swoon*

[@joshuakeene]

In the name of all that is holy, why is this entire show not available on here?????? This is the one of the best live versions of Behold the Hurricane and espec. the Blues Mary I have ever heard. PLEASE, PLEASE make this entire show available!!!!!

[@TheMasterdestroyer]

can't believe after 6 years all we have is 2 songs from this show

[@joshuakeene]

@@TheMasterdestroyer right??? There has to be more

[@jmsjolly05]

please fallon write a biography, I wanna hear your life story

[@digitalzombi]

That smile in the beginning....he is like "yeah its all worth it"

[@Ebbyabs]

Oh Brian, you magnificent wizard

[@natkutje182]

i’m getting divorced. i knew it was coming. i have these words Behold The Hurricane tattooed on my neck to give consolation against the pain that will come. Thanks, Brian.

[@jessegarza2614]

I remember everything at night Every breath of this house creaking I'm familiar with the cold and the windows and the doors And the sound of my heart beating Beating in and out of time And it's such a shame I heard the wind say this morning Be still my heart I age by years at the mention of your name What a pity this season You remember me, my lover I don't recognize myself I'm not the man you love Behold the hurricane Behold the hurricane I walk around these empty rooms We once moved like the morning Silhouettes they haunt this house Like a memory haunts me now As if it were a dream As if it were a dream And it's such a shame I heard the wind say this morning Be still my heart I age by years at the mention of your name What a pity this season You remember me, my lover I don't recognize myself I'm not the man you love Behold the hurricane Behold the hurricane I heard the moon has visions of her nightly I heard the mighty rivers cry out her I saw the heaven and the earth I saw the heavens and the earth cry alone to you And it's such a shame I heard the wind say this morning Be still my heart I age by years at the mention of your name What a pity this season You remember me, my lover I don't recognize myself I'm not the man you love Behold the hurricane Behold the hurricane

[@neominone7902]

Greatest songwriter ever.

[@mammon_is_god]

The future still needs you, Brian.

[@toddodell6201]

This is probably one of the greatest songs about hurting inside ever written, this and Band of Horses “Laredo” both take you through the whole stages of pain & despair.

[@aprildaniels357]

I feel as he is reliving a Past Life! I can see all the stories. A Beautiful Love Story!!

[@fishfacts45]

Think I found my new favourite song, but just barely. So hauntingly beautiful. At least I'll have two favourites on both side of the spectrum: Smoke and Behold The Hurricane. Thank you for making this available to us to cherish.

[@TheChrispy771]

Some of the most beautiful lyrics I know

[@znido1752]

The joy in Brian's face when the crowd does the accompanying melody says it all. As every other comment has said he is one of if not the best songwriter of our generation. No other artist/group has ever captured my heart like The Gaslight Anthem/Brian Fallon and I hope that the hiatus ends sooner rather than later.

[@wbaboy123]

Seriously can't wait to see fallon in April next year- he's a true genius in his own right 😄

[@jord5151]

How freaking beautiful is this?

[@Cammackaveli]

This man's such a great artist!

[@s.regenbogen374]

His smile ☺ 😍

[@awaitingdisaster17]

I am so glad this exists.

[@outofaspell]

I’m so glad that we were there for this! It was such a beautiful night!

[@LuisGustavoCoutinho]

Eu te amo, Brian Fallon!

[@nickburns31]

It was an amazing show!! Glad I was part of it!

[@miaholson21]

Wish this had gotten recorded + pressed to vinyl. This is beautiful!

[@adampva27]

Crossroads (Garwood, NJ) Amazing. This must have been one hell of a show!

[@Ma-jy9gx]

i just love this songs.. and this version suits the song so well.. perfect!

[@Jackzay90]

Someone could hire Brian Fallon to sing Amazing Grace at a funeral and he'd sing the whole thing with giant a smile on his face.

[@TeenageHeadcase]

This song always gives me shivers! I hope he will do it live when I get to see his solo show next month!

[@ReptileNexus]

Fallon is playing at Foxwoods Casino in January and I was debating going. The debate is over.

[@adammorgan7471]

THANKS! Enjoyed this very much.

[@aesstricker]

Is there a copy of "blood loss' in this performance? If anyone has that, I would love it.

[@samanthamarie2927]

But you are the man I loved?? Still.

[@paulrunge5365]

Coole Akustiknummer

[@johnzackarias11]

Save for him messing up the chords towards the end, this was amazing!

[@snowboarden182]

Where can I buy this version of the song?

[@origamirat6971]

just out of curiosity and i am sure you get this a lot, but is there a place i can go to see more of this show?

[@MyNameIsWhat118]

I dont want to be the nutcracker, but even though I agree he is from The Gaslight Anthem, this song is from his side project The Horrible Crows

[@insocal6713]

he's so adorable. yummy

[@visualjeff1]

Paul, Lee et al - this is very nice work - as was said - "Basically all of it!" - great work; apparent great team - pre and post-production. Bravo. Please visit my channel - thanks.

[@annawarner8374]

Similar voice and genre to Bob Dylan.
