The Lumineers - Long Way From Home (Live from L.A.)

[@kristyp2585]

I loved this song a long, long time ago. It always made me feel emotional, but when I played it the day my father passed from cancer of esophagus, back in March , it gave me entirely new feelings. He fought it for 3 years, losing his voice due to surgery from removal of esophagus, then his foot due to blood clots from chemo, not caught in time. "Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat" really hit home for me. I'll never recover, and will always feel the void he leaves in my life, but knowing others have gotten through it to sing another day gives me comfort. Thanks for reading.

[@yukon2445]

Thanks for your very touching comment. May your daddy rest in peace. God bless you. Greetings from France

[@brandonsabina6344]

Thanks for your touching story on your dad. May his soul rest in peace.

[@DylanSimon]

My dad was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus yesterday. I have loved this song for years but it really is different now. It is all I have been listening to since the diagnosis. Hope you are doing OK kristy

[@satyre_1]

I'm so sorry about that. Cancer is an absolute bitch. I can also see you're a Lord Huron fan? Good taste, hm? So sorry again about that, hope you're doing better.

The Lumineers have a gift of overloading my emotional state and bring me to a place of powerless acceptance, hope , willingness and submission. Joy and courage. thank you for helping me through so much. music truly is a gift.

[@nicolascavaliere7212]

you made me cry. This song hits you deep in your feelings, it just feels so real. Thank you Lumineers

[@purplebug21]

I have goosebumps. For the longest time, since I discovered this song on Spotify, it became the anthem of my grieving process for my dad. I had no idea that the story of this song was so similar. He too died of cancer, and this song, and these lyrics resonated so deep within me, they let me feel my grief and sadness in a way I didn't think I could. I truly feel this song played a huge role in my healing process. Music is medicine in many ways. Thank you, Lumineers.

[@drugen7]

Lost my dad to cancer this year and this song stole everything I felt and things we went through together Especially the hospital gowns, thank u lumineers.

I did also in 2019. This is the most meaninful song ive ever heard.

Don't know how I can survive a year without new Lumineers content

[@lobo669z]

I lost my father to cancer a month ago. The lumineers are one of the few things keeping me together, they make me feel like I’m not alone through all of the shit

[@oscarisaac8027]

Lyrics (Intro) If only for my tongue. If only for my mouth Find my words to speak. Drivel out, for a while We waited in to see him. Buried deep within And Buried Lilian. And now it waits, waits for me The day has arrived, the Civil War inside Your cells, they multiply, Daddy died, daddy died Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope God and medicine take no mercy on him Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat Enough is enough, he's a long way from home Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt I flew far away, as far as I could go Your time is running out And I'm a long way from home Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed Holding the pain like you're holding your breath I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone You're right next to me But you're a long way from home Hospital gowns never fit like they should We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good More morphine, the last words you moaned At last I was sure That you weren't far away from home.

[@AJSteinhauser]

Bruh the intro lyrics are not accurate We waited in to see him. Buried deep within == n' It waited in his skin, Buried deep within Your cells, they multiply, Daddy died, daddy died == The cells, they multiply, Dah-dee-dah Dah-dee-duh

[@joettaharris4230]

Yes, the beginning lyrics are incorrect. I may be wrong, too, but the line is more like: "It waited/waded in his skin." That makes a lot more sense considering the context and following line.

[@nora_fluffy]

I absolutely love this track, made me cry the first time I heard it. It's full of emotionally raw moments and simplistic but so wonderfully placed

[@tonylacorte2288]

I’ve never lost a parent, but I watched me best friend go through it when we were 12. Three days ago was 13 years since he passed. He passed from cancer as well. This song is incredibly beautiful and will forever make me think of Mr. Robinson 🧡

[@esims333]

This song reminds me so much of my dad. I run to it. I run for him because he passed away of lung cancer and it was brutal like you describe. Your dad would've loved this

[@christyf151]

This man Is the most authentic songwriter I've ever had a pleasure to listen to.. Thank you for sharing this song.. what an amazing gift you have ..my father passed away on Saturday this song makes me feel so much less alone..

[@seanharrington3371]

My Dad died the same way, thank you for the song it hits my heart.

[@shaheerjamal3305]

Thanks for letting me remember my mother in a different way. Who died of Cancer too....😢

[@dciccoritti]

One of the greatest songs ever written IMO. 👍

[@ruchitripathi7535]

I can't, I just can't listen to this song. My mom's currently fighting from stage four liver and lung cancer. She might not have much time left. Two years ago she got diagnosed with breast cancer and after mints of radiation and chemo she won that battle. And now she has to go through all this again but it's much much worse this time. It is killing me to see her like this and not being able to do a single thing about it. This song hits home, each and every word, about the pain and drugs and sleepless nights. I can't listen to this without crying but I'm also so thankful for the song.

[@didierbizimana2759]

Maybe one day the pain will lighten up a bit but he's blessed to have shared that piece of his life.

[@lanzangully7392]

Though every song sounds the same it's different. Same same but different. Love it

[@vasocalzon]

Kinda of late, but i feel thats because of the chords, they use the same in most of their songs, but they somehow make it feel different. i suppose that applies to "less is more" and that with less resources you have to be more creative, i feel thats kinda the idea of the lumineers

[@wecomeinpeace5082]

This song is pure anguish.

[@lauraacerbi7696]

I fell in love with this song istantly the first time I had heard it. I tried to look everywhere for the meaning of the lyrics (although i figured out by myself that this song was about a man who's dying) and then this video came from nothing. I would have never thought it was you'r father's story. Thank you for sharing those really sad, but important moments of your life with such a beautiful song, boy. You guys are true arists.

[@samanthat9406]

I heard this extended version live in 2016 and I have waited for this since then. Thank you so much.

[@trystaladawn6304]

I lost my dad 3 days ago and his mother 7 years ago for cancer. This is a such a huge suffering that I don't wish for my worst enemy. I know that now they are in peace and without any kind of pain. But still hurts a lot to think about everything they've been through. Only God to make us strong again and help us to live without the person we loved the most in our whole life 💔🥀 rest in peace Papi, love you forever ❤️

If only for my tounge, if only for my mouth, I find my words to speak, dribble out, fall out. And it waited in his skin, buried deep within, it buried Lillian, and now it waits, waits for him. And the day has arrived, a civil war inside, the cells they multiplied, daddy died, daddy died. Held on to hope, like a noose, like a rope. God and medicine, take no mercy on him; poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat, enough is enough, he's a long way from home. Days of my youth, wasted on a selfish fool, who ran for the hills, from the hand you were delt. I flew far away, as far as I could go, your time is running out, and I'm a long way from home. Layed up in bed, you were layed up in bed. Holding the pain, like your holding your breathe. I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone. Your right next to me, but your a long way from home. Hospital gowns, never fit, like they should. We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good. "More morphine." The last words you moaned, at last I was sure, that you weren't far away from home.

Blessings and Peace be upon You and Your Progeny.. word's fail me.. my Father took his own life in the mid '80s; I didn't know why until years later I was told the Truth by his next older Brother (Corporal Stephen A. King, 7 R.AR., Vietnam Veteran), who identified his Little Brothers Tattoos.. "don't worry Vin, your Dad didn't feel a thing.. there was nothing left above his neck bone".. quote unquote.. Uncle Steve had nothing to lie about. He was dying anyway from agent orange, but f___k we put some Stolychnaya Vodka and Winfield cigarettes away. Thank You for Sharing. :) P.S., You are not alone :)

What a story it truly is. I don't know how to defend myself anymore.

[@心想事成的自由人]

這個樂隊的特色在於他們會用搖鈴😂應該說真是別樹一幟,無論是使用的樂器,或是很多首歌曲都會出現的「Ho」、「 Hey」的吶喊、又或是每個成員的風格(你會覺得他們是文青俱樂部,表演完之後要回到辦公室工作的味道,總之我不會將他們歸類為搖滾,是比較流行的鄉村音樂吧)可以說他們的存在,在一眾樂隊之中真是奇葩,但他們有一種自信的氣場,不需要模仿其他樂隊的那種酷炫,他們是另一種酷炫。 每個成員都是樂器高手,主唱的唱功又登峯造極,只能說是強強聯手。唯一不足是他們的歌都是自己作的(應該是吧？),聽得多就會發現風格相近,這是樂隊一定會面臨的問題。但就整體質素來評價,我會說是最好的樂手碰上最好的主音,每個人都放在適當的位置。
