[@cherbee1]

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE this song. Ever since I saw the Subaru commercial. I had to look it up.

[@martyharding6063]

Me too! I was hooked on the music and had to find out who they were! Its such a relaxing rythym.

[@maddawgzzzz]

Same here, found this song on a commercial back in the day. I think it just showed a couple drivering around with the car

[@blunderbox8372]

Same here, it haunted me for weeks, don't know why.

[@illosophie]

The melody is flat out beautiful, regardless of where u found this song, the fact that u searched for it like myself is initiative I commend.

[@JamesG12]

It's unfortunate that a song this good has so little views.

[@runrachellady]

I’m certain this is still one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@MECowgo]

Me too.I haven't obsessed over a song like this in years, probably back to the time when it was "lift needle, repeat."

[@phoenixmar]

One day, hopefully soon, I will be driving at night and I will put on this song. My wife will be sleeping in the passenger seat next to me, and it will be simultaneously the saddest and happiest I've ever been because such perfect moments are so fleeting. One day.

[@larryslemp9698]

Wow………………!!

[@RussellNeal]

That's a profound sentiment.

[@couerl]

Creepy and staged.

[@spicycurrybread8818]

I accidentally unliked this because I had forgotten I'd already liked it the last time I watched this

[@TM-yn4iu]

I am confused and sad for your wife. If her sleep,while you listen to a "comforting" or "self validating" song brings peace - it's an empty/selfish place. I am not judging as it may be implied, I am only trying to understand. BTW, happy moments seem to be the fleeting moments - sad moments are rarely fleeting - laments.

[@cutiepiebaby103]

Thank you Subaru !! I wouldn't have found this song if it wasn't for that commercial ;P

[@delta-v]

How is she not majorly famous? Hopefully my comment here re: her fame will soon be false. Angelic vocals, beautiful lyrics. I can’t. 😭

[@TM-yn4iu]

Another comment that will flow through the wind rustling leaves, unnoticed. This is truly a magical/mathematical coordination of sound...then words. It evokes emotion in either format. This song stimulates and brings a peace, similar to centuries of sound and poetry. If you have not experienced (whats not been shared , a quiet swallowing of background)written, read or listened to history, no judgment. I am simple and been judged(no rebuttal/excuses, I know...hard but.why...these moments say it all for all)... but the letting go allows me peace.. which i wish to all.

[@baumlistreichlerin4]

hardly tried to find this song on spotify, still beautiful to listen after 10 years.

[@martyharding6063]

I can't believe it's already been ten years since this song came out. That Subaru commercial is where I first heard it. I was writing and the commercial came on and the first notes played and I was like I gotta find that song and who plays it!!!!

[@SwornInvictus]

This song got me through some crazy times, so much nostalgia.

[@Brento311]

Same!

[@ponchochan]

That piano... just....*happy sigh*

[@trysometruth]

CorsaBlueDrive I'm with ya.

[@TheZebra0scarf]

God, I love this song- her voice, the guitar- it's perfect.

[@theSTAR70]

OMG the lead singer kind-of-sorta sounds like " Scarlett O' Connor " from the "Nashville" tv show abc.go.com/shows/nashville/cast/scarlett-o-connor-character-bio

[@TheZebra0scarf]

Uhh I'm not a fan of country :/

[@theSTAR70]

How Do You Feel? neither am i. great show however

[@TheZebra0scarf]

Yeah it is, I saw the first two ep. But then I forgot about it and now I'm too far behind to catch up lol

[@theSTAR70]

How Do You Feel? yeah it's kind of a on-going plot. i don't watch _every_ week, but the music is pretty good

[@edgardoretardo]

what a beautiful song!! I heard the song in the Subaru commercial and have not been able to stop listening to it. Such a beautiful song and soothing melody! That Subbie commercial definitely will help this band be recognized!

[@georgieorgy5589]

This song is a breath of fresh air❤

[@altalla8]

this song is absolute perfection

[@trysometruth]

Honestly. Every decision made on this song and arrangement... it's one of those magic things that cannot be improved.

[@krry9191]

It's not on Spotify anymore 😭😭😭😭😭 come baaaaaack

[@kingmulahoo4925]

neverrrrrrrrr lmfao

[@EuroVagens]

Funny how certain genres of music hits you when you are going through the shit we want to fast forward through in life… Music is what actually helps us get throughout those times… These lyrics are perfect for the mood I'm in currently… Its like they are saying the words I couldnt think to say.

[@JamesG12]

Precisely

[@moriyawetsman223]

I absolutely love you guys! beautiful voice, great music and melody, just an all around amazing band to listen to for any mood.

[@tuberphilphil]

The song is the thing, of course, that creates the joy and the sorrow, but the video, and the woman are perfect for the song. The video captures that time for me, for you, too, perhaps, of youth with intimate times with close friends, road trips, lots of sharing conversations. The lead singer typifies for me the strong, vulnerable, beautiful girls, newly women, heartbreakers.

[@Tdieo1]

I use music all the time for stuff like that and it always seems to brighten my day up, it just makes me feel alive and gets me through tough times, I hope music can be that for you too :) Good luck my friend.

[@PhantomLyric]

yup... only rarely in life do you get to hear a piece of music this day and age that just speaks to you.

[@odin650]

Listening to this, sipping a glass of port, and watching the sun set over the rolling hills. *Do Not Disturb*

[@tinkaluvzyou]

Omg so everytime i see the subaru commercial my heart explodes with joy so glad i found out who sings it

[@meCmoni]

I've been trying to Shazam this song from the Subaru commercial for months now to no avail ! So glad I found it !

[@dmfishface2]

Our culture is such a bummer... hearts exploding for Subaru commercials. cheers to Mount Moriah, you guys kill it. Saw you play last night.

[@sirmenswear1]

This song is amazing. It is a song that make you look within yourself. Sometimes it is nice to sit and dream. Life is very amazing. It is up to you to make something of it. Eddie..

[@handlepending]

I need to learn to play this on the piano, it's beautiful

[@kingcleopatra]

I saw this commercial for the first time and what caught my immediate attention was the Piano piece and as I continued to see this commercial (no matter what channel u watched), it was likei wanted to see the commercial just to hear the song...lol...plus I love Dogs and have many stories to share and this song totally got it. Now that I look it up and hear the lyrics, it makes me like the song even more. Who are you guyz? Will do research and support. Thnx for this song, it Rocks!!

[@decarloved]

Wonderful song, proud to be from this area of America :)

[@SkullLikeASecret]

You're right I'm no better, if I can do it anyone can! Glad you like and experience live music, it's the best. And when you can't see it live, buy the cd/record/tape and listen to it until you can see it again live.

[@Tdieo1]

That's what friends are for! They pick you up when you feel down and they will be there for you no matter what! And music also helps too, especially a song as lovely as this. Good luck in your endeavors my friend, good luck

[@catebustamante98]

i love this song it calms me down and helps me think. :)

[@seanmilam8437]

this song got me through a lot, thank you guys

[@Sergesedd22]

Wow, really awesome song. When I heard this playing on the Subaru commercial, I just had to find it.

[@Jambajuice89]

I finally found this song!! They used it on an old Subaru commercial featuring a guy and his chocolate Labrador.

[@scatdaddy3790]

Such a great song

[@GwakBm]

A little piece of heaven on earth

[@heideggerdowson]

Real music, reminds me of Kate Campbell the beautiful voice, warmth and 'song'

[@kingcleopatra]

I like this song a lot and decided to look up Son and its definitely there, you're right. Thanx for that bit of info

[@haganrockstar]

Son is such a great song

[@playlist9607]

driving my Subaru in the snow... Reminded me of this song.

[@conwaysuccess]

Wow this is my new favorite song. Love it!!

[@reginaldnunn2667]

Beautiful and sad!

[@kyleiwalker3603]

my dad showed me this song after it came out in a commercial. i used to play it A LOT on my ipod shuffle and somehow forgot about it until recently. i’m so upset that it’s not on spotify or apple music :((

[@JosephinesDays]

Oh god, tears!!!! Dammit!

[@MrVertigo27]

Я люблю эту группу и эту музыку.Как хорошо,что я случайно нашел вас.

[@jred7]

I love this song.

[@gundee421]

The full version turns out to be a BOMB. It's [much]x999 better that what I hear in the Subaru Love. advertisement. Thank you!

[@DeplorablePredator]

Love this song. Great job to Subaru!!!

[@3684541]

really incredible stuff. keep it up and congrats.

[@Kicker20007]

Beautiful song

[@launderground]

love this.

[@MajorLeagueAviation]

Y'all are awesome! I'm a new fan. Hope you guys make it to Norfolk, Va someday.

[@H.G.Wells-ishWells-ish]

Haunting melody. Beautiful song. When is the album coming out?

[@pooky305]

Subaru commercial brought me here! Beautiful melody!

[@figueroa661]

So glad I moved to Chapel Hill. Will be at the Cat's Cradle in December

[@mdog978]

does this remind anyone else of Iron and Wine? But I absolutely love this song to death...It's so sad, but it's just so amazing!

[@InSightUltrasound]

Goes to show you that a simple but very catchy melody and gentle chords from an out of tune piano can add such charm and character to a song. And yes, I blame this on a Subaru commercial and I don't feel dirty.

[@desistart2858]

Que som agradável de se ouvir

[@perseculaseculorummm]

Same to me! Subaru brought me here #goodad #greatband

[@pemo333]

the song is a simple rise and very catching, as recognied as a part of a few other songs, wether stolen or not they use the rise to create the whole song, making it distinct.

[@poolboyinla]

Is Scott Weiland credited as a writer on this song? It is a very close copy of one of his songs.

[@willowanna2109]

MY FAV. SONG EVER

[@Illogic69]

Really good

[@bronxraised82]

Such a sad melody but I love this song found it on the subura commercial.

[@bebomac5]

Almost identical to Scott Weiland's song "Son", but I don't care. This song is beautiful, moving and deserving of recognition.

[@annazappoli2759]

The piano intro is From The Black Heart Procession " In a Tin Flask " off their first CD 1998

[@bebomac5]

"Son" by Scott Weiland. Recorded in 1997. Got you beat by 12 years. coincidentally, it's from his "12 Bar Blues" album.

[@Yzzami]

This is pretty good

[@mustanger99gt]

Love. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

[@snowvampire101]

I also agree with a comment below this sound familiar to BLUE by BIGBANG but this sounds great too I really love it love both songs

[@rehlek21]

or One Headlight by The Wallflowers? please let me know if you thought of either of those, im curious lol

[@SaulMeyersz]

i know .. i was wondering how many times ive heard it in other songs. it reminds me of . " in the year of the cat" by Al stewart do you know of any others?

[@oliviajeanjohanan]

yep, subaru ad too, lovely song :)

[@bebomac5]

Indeed!

[@skankityspence]

Eminor - G - Bminor - back to Eminor. Note: Bminor is not the correct note. I apologize, I don't know much music theory, but the chord is shaped like Bminor, but with one of the strings down a step. (I'm playing it on the seventh fret) ... It's not a hard song, just three chords and you'll be able to make necessary adjustments if you listen close enough. ;) I hope this helps! Sorry if I sound dumb explaining it. I just use my ear and play for enjoyment. :)

[@lilsaint256]

March Madness brought me here

[@EconVaughn]

the sound is messed up. loses low end at 1:09 but i love this song

[@Clocksucker2]

Anybody know what song this is based off of? I remember hearing this basic tune a long while back, prolly a 80's song or earlier.

[@1brandtg]

I totally heard Scott Weiland's "Son" when I heard this song. It looks like its also very similar to Jack Johnson's "It's all understood" and Black Heart Procession's "In a Tin Flask"

[@bebomac5]

Despite the similarities, I think they're all great. I think theres another very similar song floating out there. Someone pointed it out to me, but I forget the title.

[@azsoldier13]

Its on Scott Weiland's first solo album. Song is "Son".

[@poolboyinla]

Scott Weiland did a song in 98 called Son that is a direct copy of.

[@mopore]

I have all the albums but this song is not on any of them. The description says it's on the self-titled debut album, but it's not. Can someone please help? I'd like to complete my Mount Moriah collection.

[@teknomore147]

www.mergerecords.com/hc-mcentire

[@mopore]

Thank you. I never knew she has a solo project.

[@trysometruth]

yeah it's totally confusing that the video description info incorrectly states that this song is on their first, self-titled, 2012 album. It is not. The song was released as the second track in a 3-song EP in 2011, called The Letting Go. Best I can tell currently, this vid is the only way to listen to this song on the 'Net.

[@NJMoviemaker]

i love

[@pennyloafers]

When i saw the comercial I was thinking of Wallflowers - One headlight, which is in a similar key and progression, though in comparison to in a tin flask they are very similar opposed to rhythmical phrasing and in variations to melodic phrasing. and there is a probability that all three got it from somewhere else.

[@martyquintana4822]

was going crazy trying to find out who sang this!!!

[@martyquintana4822]

I love this song...this music always captivates me..

[@rehlek21]

the beginning of Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out? at least it did for me. for the longest time i had thought that this was a soft cover or something until i figured out it was a completely different song all together lol.

[@cherbee1]

Me tooooooo!

[@MrGeeMan1980]

Makes me want to hop in my Subaru with my dog and go for a ride.

[@efraing726]

where can i download this song? it wasn't on the vinyl record? any help ?

[@tinadickey9978]

I love ur band, because my name is Moriah, I was named after Mount Moriah.. And now im pretty glad to have this name :D I always hated it X3

[@KitFury]

Singing my story

[@poolboyinla]

I looked this up because people said it is a rip off of the Scott Weiland song, Son, and it is.

[@gunner9936]

Is there version with out the lady singing

[@annazappoli2759]

Check out The Black Heart Procession, first CD written 1997. Track 4 side 2 " In A Tin Flask "

[@zhou_sei]

its a standard chord progression... although it does sound very similar, i wouldnt be surprised of neither had heard eachother's songs

[@wesleyjacksonable]

Reminds me of this The Low Anthem - Charlie Darwin

[@pt42sundevils]

Subaru commercial had me flashback. Thought this was another song I've heard before... This song seems really similar to Mads Langer's "You're Not Alone".
