---------------------------------
To my mother, I'll be sorry that I gotta go
To my brother, I'll be sorry that I gotta go
To you I wish that I could say I wish you well
But I think I'll be waiting until
I'm honestly able.
I'm sure the air is lighter on the seas
In every city settled far away from me
Now I'm negotiating with the fear
That something's wrong with the daylight here
And I can't fix it.
Crooked or kind, if I'm free, if I'm fine
Either way, whatever I do
Whichever coast, there'll be room there for ghosts
Either way, I'll be thinking of you.
When gone I have sworn that I will worry not
Of satisfaction, justice, or the will of God
I'm not sure there's any difference in the three
Whatever the conscience decrees
I hope we both feel right.
Crooked or kind, if I'm free, if I'm fine
Either way, whatever I do
Whichever coast, there'll be room there for ghosts
Either way, I'll be thinking of you.

I still come back to this video every few years to relive those moments when I first heard this ☺️

[@silentjayhpk]

You're not the only one. Haunting and beautiful.

[@MrThatguyandrew]

This is still my favorite version of this song. Come back to it every few months even years later. Got me through a particularly brutal breakup.

[@tripleg77]

Whatever happened to you guys as a group? This is one of the most beautiful things ever to flow through my ear holes.

[@imungo]

that cawing crow runs up my spine every damn time!!!

[@viewitmytube]

He should have gotten an honorable mention/ or in the video (the Crow)

[@buckshotandthepepperbox3042]

I never get sick of this tune.

[@shutupandcook99]

I Just Want To Say Thank You.... I Sat 5ive Years In Prison.... Late At Night I Sang This Song.... Made Me Feel Better.... Be Thinking Of You....

[@HolyShitsickles]

ive loved this song for years. had it in my head again, had to come back and listen.

[@unklewink]

I love the subtle things about this video. The porch in "anytown". Sunny day, all the sights and sounds. I can almost smell the flowers in a garden nearby and something cooking from a kitchen window. But something is just a bit off. The song tells the story.

[@SonniDez]

Been in love with this song with 6 years and still going strong.

[@SonniDez]

6 years later and I found my own comment while listening to this again. Still love it.

[@screamqueenbella]

I've been going through a very rough time in my life regarding my relationship with one of my parents. Your lyrics have hit the mark on how I'm feeling on it right now and it was very hard to listen to the song the first time. I cried my way through most of it but it was very beautiful and lovely making it even more memorable. You both have beautiful voices.

[@jackson3327]

9 years from post. . . . . still amazeballs.

[@JaneWillowMusic]

I need more of this Lauren! This music is so haunting and pure!

[@monkeyandmonkey]

you ladies have amazing talent i can't wait to hear more!

[@davidagourley3609]

This song has me in tears.. I feel like it talks about heart break and wanting to leave and start anew and that just hits home with me. Thank you.

[@hannahrcq]

Listened to this 8 years ago, and still listening now with my two small sons. Thank you!

[@friendinmiami]

Love all the skill, sensitivity and expressiveness in the music!

[@Cpt.Phenom]

Absolutely incredible

[@ZDanielPhoenix]

I have not been able to get this hauntingly beautiful song out of my head for the last few days. Buying the physical album and Lauren's songs off the site. Thanks for sharing such wonderful music.

[@katepetrillo5711]

This is the most beautiful song...

[@JrRey94]

This is honestly one of my most favorite songs ever. Whenever I hear the first couple of seconds of the song my heart flutters and I get a smile on my face.

[@orangesarenottheonly]

My new favorites, one song and I was hooked

[@tommyXraver]

you guys are amazing! really

[@JohnKozey]

this song is unreal...to be beautiful and painful at the same time...is to be true beauty......true art....love how it starts out minimal and builds into that reverbed distortion which is so part of the mood of this song...don't lose that....thankyou both

[@smellyska]

I'm absolutely in love with this song.

[@bdbindy61]

[@juutuub0]

Loved the banjo stuff. And the singing of course.

[@gilbert7119]

I lost this song so long ago... Glad to have found it again.

[@BenLappsMusic]

i'm so glad you guys turned this into a real project, when you posted this song a while back, it was just waay too ridiculously beautiful to leave alone.

[@drewshugart]

im glad you guys are making more music together!

[@efd996mk]

Great song. Congrats on the new/old collaboration!!!

[@JENERO123]

The mixing in this video is amazing. How raw and real the microphone levels from the porch scene to the break down, to the bass intro to final mix. It makes you feel like you're there watching the live recording. What an amazing song. Cheers, ladies. Cheers.

[@mmfonobong]

incredibly great.........and i love it so much.

[@turnnwrench]

love it, playing a banjo with a bow...angels are jealous of their voices, can't put into words the greatness of my terrible friend

[@TheBuckster3D]

I almost cried. What a great song. Very deep thoughts with this one. Melodic

[@benmcdonald73]

Just a beautiful track. More of these same please.........

[@juliamely]

Amazing.

[@jesjoc31]

Both of you make some amazing music on your own but togther this stuff is just plain beautiful please keep making this wonderful music

[@Me2Old]

VII. The conclusion has the totality of the instrumentation quickly dropping off leaving the haunting sounds of a chord being bowed on a banjo, as if her soul is now free and adrift in the wind . Stunningly effective!

[@guitarplayingmommy]

I like the outdoor recordings. sounds awesome.

[@swabianking]

Album bought, fantastic!

[@Imperialursa]

Glad I found this again

[@0713mas]

Great song!!!!

[@ericos9]

Congrats for yours voices and yours band!!! Parabéns do Brasil!!!

[@dchuns1]

That was quite beautiful

[@IJWalker]

i love how Nataly is so serious and Lauren is making faces while she sings. I still ask myself wether the crow is on purpose or accidental... I guess I'll never know. (unless someone replies to this comment then ill have to scrap that last bit)

[@philduprey7226]

Beautiful song which I think of often

[@MrJonas421]

I just want to say thank you, your song is amazing

[@HomeGuitarMods]

Once again, WOW

[@TheJok3rPR]

LOVE IT

[@autumnvibe]

I am very envious of Lauren's talent to play the banjo.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

heh, it's totally about O'Connell leaving NY for California because the weather and musical opportunities suck here. or not, i could be totally mistaken. Either way it's an awesome song.

[@okayokay2009]

i'm really glad this popped up on my recommended videos this is incredible.

[@fdrcompany]

Wow, thats impressive. Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself with us.

[@rustandrepair]

This is one of my favorite songs. Love you guys both. : )

[@littlebirdystreams]

This gives me chills every time I listen to it. I hope you two are working on more songs together!

[@jay75music]

[@newmarsvolta]

[@diana.diamond]

[@ellowband]

Haunting and beautiful at the same time..

[@matiaschao]

simply amazing, I love this music, really don't know these ladies, but their music is what I've been looking for a long time, stylish, sweet, it does have personality... hope to see more soon

[@skatinggaz]

this is amazing. 'nuff said.

[@skrounge]

I love it! Make More, Make more!

[@nurisim]

This is so wonderful. It amazes me that in discovering Pomplamoose I managed to discover 5 really wonderful musical groups. Lauren, Jack, and Nataly, you are really awesome. And I am mad you were in my neck of the woods and I didn't even know! I am going to listen to this a few more times now.

[@TheCWSpace]

You're music & voices are beautiful.

[@dancedancesierra]

this is brilliant

[@MeredithHagan]

The song reminds me so much of my best friend, who is leaving her family home soon. That mixture of regret and the NEED to go is so apt and moving.

[@JoanaLennon]

AMAZIING

[@adamsrober]

outstanding!!

[@LaughingOTI80]

The nature sounds, crickets and birds and such really worked well for this production. Cool choice! :)

[@Otherwayround]

Dude this song is so beautiful. Wish y'all were still running around on the road vlogging, making gorgeous tunes and making us all laugh.

[@MrJedward77]

Had the privilege of meeting these wonderful young ladies last night at my cafe. Beyond the fact that I had an instant crush on Lauren, I am really taken with their music. Had the best happy/sad moment of the year listening to this... BRAVO ladies!

[@zetaaasd]

Perfect!

[@ooamaimomooo]

I love music like this.. It's the sort of music you listen to while laying in a grass field with your eyes closed as a breeze blows across your face.

[@HotCement]

i love it beautiful

[@praestigiare]

I listened to this on repeat while walking around Reykjavik in the rain. Perfect.

[@n8lyweknow]

really enjoyed it!!
