Zach Bryan - Jake's Piano - Long Island

Jake’s Piano
I finally quit smoking cigarettes
And I don’t go downtown drinking till it’s dawn
The best parts of you are here but you’re still gone
And lord I’ve been trying to smile like you told me
Laugh like the old me, it comes out all wrong
The best parts of you are here but you’re still gone
And I still tie that double knot
The one you taught that gets caught on the banks
The best parts of you are here but you still ain’t
I finally quit smoking cigarettes
And I don’t go downtown drinking till it’s dawn
The best parts of you are here but you’re still gone
Long Island
I heard your father got sick of Long Island
I’ve been trying like hell to call
My mind aint well and I just can’t tell you why
I heard they shut the old bar we’d go when we needed rest
We’d always stay out too late Tuesday nights
You said I was the perfect gentleman
You used to hold me by my gentle hands
These aint the hopefuls hands you held before
And I’ve been drinking so much lately it seems a damn double blade
Cuz when I’m drunk I dream you’re dancing down the shore
I heard your father got sick on Long Island
I’ve been trying like to hell to call
My mind ain’t well and I just can’t tell you why
I heard they shut the old bar we’d go when we needed rest
We’d always stay out too late Tuesday nights
I heard your father got sick on Long Island
I’ve been trying like to hell to call
My mind ain’t well and I just can’t tell you why
I heard they shut the old bar we’d go when we needed rest
We’d always stay out too late Tuesday nights

[@taylorswiftie.taylorsversion]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also lost someone at 15. My friend unfortunately decided to end their life. It was so hard to understand why it happened when all everyone they knew supported them so much. One person can change how everything plays out. Zach's music really has helped me to grieve my loss. Zach saved my life.

[@noahbfromthe9136]

Mine, Hayden is listening with him too. I was 17 when Hayden died.

[@destiniguel2730]

I could never afford a Zach Bryan ticket so I’ll just blast your album for my neighbors and throw my own concert! 🖤

[@mslea13]

WORD!!!

[@daben1074]

Just gonna leave this here…This entire album is an absolute masterpiece. I obviously went in with high expectations and I found out why I did.

[@tristanroen882]

I agree. An absolute masterpiece.

[@bradleytucker2733]

Man so many directions to go with these lyrics. Best parts of you are here, but you’re still gone. Applies to lost relationships, but also applies to myself when I look in the mirror of late.

[@ShermStik421]

I feel that last part.

[@S133pyy]

One of the underrated gems on the album

[@CristoferSanchez-jp3jp]

That piano solo at 2:25 send shivers down my spine.

[@Ab412]

The intros so wild

[@Zakktera]

My dad's been gone 20 years today... 9/2/2003...I found him.. I was 21 years old. This song has touched my heart and soul more than anything I've heard in my 41 years. I'm so beyond thankful for your existence Mr Bryan ♥️ ❤❤

[@MrWackozacko]

Geez my bro, i was 21 too but i didnt find him.

[@dawnavann4290]

I'm Jagger, my dod died 5 years ago and my mom died 4 years ago. I guess we are in the same place. Sup and sorry for the loss

[@kaylapuppyss]

This song hurts… “the best parts of you are here but you’re still gone.” My brother died 10 years ago and I haven’t healed fully from that and these lyrics struck my chords. Such a beautiful song

[@DreamWeaver24]

The raw emotion in Zach’s voice really shines in this one. The second to last verse takes my breath away every single time. Thank you Zach, i don’t know where I’d be in this life without you

[@jakedunne8422]

The fact that this song dosent have over 10 mil views is crazy , shame on zach bryan fans . This song is the goat

[@garyrobinson5655]

Bryan* lmao

[@rex8958]

I told myself if he released this song I would finally kick that old habit. Once I reach that lucky in my current pack of spirits it’s quitting time. As expected this album is unreal, thank you Zach.

[@charlesoliviera]

I believe in you brother!! God bless

[@chessmentrip2293]

Probable drunk somewhere

[@legendtentv6059]

This is one you gotta listen to with your eyes closed in the car maxed. Tears..

[@peggysosa8436]

My sons were friends with a young man named Jake, he introduced them to your songs. He said one day this guy is going to be " a legend". I really liked your stuff and i satarted listening to. Jake lost his life 3 yrs ago this Oct. to heroine. It makes me smile to see how far you have come, I know Jake is smiling in heaven.

[@dalzephyrw8212]

I don't usually share anything personal on the internet but, this is too unbelievable for me not to. My best friend on the entire planet since I was a child, he LOVED your music. In his final weeks he put me on to Zach Bryan. He was going through an awful divorce, he got hurt on the job and lost his job, he totaled his $60,000 truck all in the span of about two weeks. He struggled so bad with depression. He had a hard time feeling reciprocated love. He is one of the most beautiful souls I've ever met. I actually lost him last September to suicide. In his last weeks, something in the orange was the only piece of media that encapsulated everything he was feeling. He resonated well with it. His name was Jacob. We called him Jake. The lyrics of this song are uncanny. He was a smoker, alcohol amplified these negative feelings he was struggling with. I cant help to wonder if you got the message my girlfriend and I sent when he passed. This song broke my fucking heart, its so beautiful. Jakes favorite band was the lumineers and you were 2nd to them. He missed out in the collaboration, he would've loved it.

[@rtharper530]

He hears it from above he’s with You

[@rtharper530]

We love you young Jacob

[@bradleytucker2733]

So sorry brother. Thinking about you and his friends and family.

[@jdoe317]

I lost my ex 2 years ago, we used to party at our favorite bar. They shut it done the year he passed coincidentally. I’ve gotten straight since his passing to try to make him proud. Live the life he would’ve wanted to see me live. I really appreciate your song ❤️

[@jackm6328]

Zach I lost my mom too cancer about 4 months ago Thankyou, speaking my thoughts I can’t express in your music just Thankyou man your a fuxkin legend keep making songs for ppl like me

Honestly not sure I’ve ever heard a better album from start to finish. Love every song. Your story telling is on another level

[@Cade_And_The_Kids_Barrelracing]

My mom loved Zach Bryan (I'm pretty sure more than she loved me lol) she passed away 2 weeks before this album came out, my brothers and I sat on the back deck, listening to this album and then we hear this song. I sat on the deck for 3 hours crying. My brother stopped smoking cigarettes too. "The best part of you is still here but your still gone" loops around in my mind constantly. This song got me through my life💕

[@jnelsongf]

I hope you don’t hate it Zach I don’t think you need to say that ever again When I saw you live every person there sang to the top of their lungs. Every song I know you want to stay humble but you are magical and the best. Lyrical genius that hits everyone right where it counts Hard to find new acts who are not sellouts I am 47 You are my favorite ever

[@martinbryce8551]

I have just found this talented guy, glad I did, amazing, god bless 🙏

[@bennash7121]

This is my favorite one. I just listen to it over and over. You’ve got an amazing talent and way with words that can yank long suppressed memories from people’s hearts and put them straight into our throats and eyes. Thanks for these songs!

[@willg5890]

Song never gets stale

[@Stankydank07]

Is it me or when that piano 🎹 started, a burst of emotions just ran to my heart and mind... you did it again brother Zach

[@DKDOESIT]

This one hits me harder than the rest not sure what it is but I just feel pure soul from this one

[@desserripierce23]

My dads name is Jake, he passed away in April last year. Smoking cigarettes together was our thing, what I would do to have him back here..

[@johnlerch3908]

As real as it gets. Zach Bryan is true life witnessed through song. Thank you.

[@nicksilver_music]

How is this song the least listened to? Its an epic tale of vibrating beauty

[@Joey-kw6lm]

I wanna hear this live i think it would just take your breath away.

[@cplusdindustry1967]

The best parts of you are here but you still ain’t….This sums up the loss of my dad. ‘He sure puts things into words good’ 😉

[@RiceeKing001]

This song has led me down a path of feelings I wouldn't have thought I've reached. Thank you Zach Bryan.

[@deadlyarmd4ces]

Being a Combat Vet at 27, I feel this.. ALOT! This whole album is a masterpiece!

[@Kailey_adams]

Had listened to the whole album all except for this song, for no reason. This song just didn’t play until it came on one night and I sat and listened to it on repeat. Thank you Zach 🤍

I love looking at the album cover and listening to the lyrics 🎶 I finally quit smoking cigarettes🎶

[@allyouneedislove2206]

I saw my mama get taken suddenly and tragically way too soon. I was 19. She was only 43. Then, 14 years later I got the call I don’t wish on any parent ever. My heart breaks for everyone here, and everyone everywhere that has had to feel pain like that sear through your soul. The wounds never heal.

[@adrianwaugh7392]

I’m sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Keep your head held high just know they’re looking down on you

[@kenzieash7013]

Prayed this one would make it to the album. All’s officially right in the world

[@Joey-kw6lm]

This song captivates me right off the bat. What a just beautiful voice and heart wrenching lyrics. It tugs at my very soul how beautiful.

[@joemillerjoosekiller]

when you wait til midnight for this album to drop and go out cruising the dirt roads across the country side and this comes on ...... had to pull over and just reminisce

[@jkmeans]

My ex girlfriend miscarried our expected baby girl this weekend. I haven’t stopped listening to this song since. Not sure what the coincidence is, if there is one. I just spent Easter weekend in Long Island with my brother. Something about this song will resonate with me forever after what happened. Damn, music is incredible and powerful. Zach is the best. I have a strong feeling his music will get me through the next weeks as I begin to process what happened.

[@vaden706]

Can’t even put it into words. This man is my favorite artist
