New album “Local Valley”, out Sept. 17. ► Stream / Pre-order album: josegonzalez.lnk.to/localvalley

I dunno what it is about his music. Just carries my soul off somewhere

José González, you are such a gift to this world!

HIs songs often make me cry, but its not hopeless. These are the songs of someone who has suffered and learned.

You're like a highly gifted 1970's singer-songwriter José González... From my generation, you're a very special talent in these times.. Thank you!

Jose, the fact that there are people like you in this world, so talented, so humble, all while being so deservedly successful, is just a wonderful thing. I feel like the world today is saturated with so much bullshit, so much nonsense coming from media and the fast-paced, profit-driven culture we live in, that too many talented people like yourself never achieve the success they deserve. That you have somehow managed to be so gifted, so positive, and so driven to create beautiful things, and at the same time be so successful in pursuing what you love, is a sort of modern miracle. A real-Earth miracle, the kind achieved by people, by human beings of flesh and blood. As I think of the countless talented, passionate and deserving individuals, people who are artists, writers, scientists, musicians, leaders, and other creators and contributors who will never achieve success, I am grateful that you and others like you exist to remind us of the full extent of human potential. I'm looking forward to the new album. See you in New York in April!

Wonderful.. Absolutely brilliant! So organic..so José González!

I owe you my life Sir. this song, your vibe. I hope to get tix to see you in Kansas City in September. I am very excited and humbled. thank you José and the Sunday Assembly! Thank you.

This song helps me every time I feel I cannot continue with the every day routine. You bring me light, José < 3

This song is my morning alarm - love waking up to it every day!

First track I have ever listened to. Certainly this is something very special. This man deserves to be heard and credited! Appreciate your talent José González! Thank you!

Mr. Gonzáles has always struck me as such a kind, gracious, generous, utterly brilliant human being, and this video was yet another testament to his beautiful genius. His capacity for compassion truly knows no bounds, you can see, as he shines here, like a beacon of light-of hope-in a relative sea of darkness. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world, sir. Many, including me, would be lost without you.

It was so much fun filmning this!! I LOVE the song!

Uplifting to the point I cried.

take a moment to reflect where you're from take a moment to reflect where you're going take a moment to reflect who we are ...what it means to be alive

This song has brought such happiness to me. As a free thinker, I have at many times felt alone. This song is a hug, and a reminder that it's okay to follow a path of logic and reason, even if you're alone on that path. How beautiful it is that we all exist. Some people go through life so wrapped up in petty unimportant things that they never even realize just how remarkable the odds were for us to exist in the first place. To me, the point of life is to find happiness, whatever that may be. We have the opportunity to enjoy life during our short time here. I will be checking out my local chapter of Sunday Assembly. Thank you, José.

"Let the life lead you out Let the life lead you out x8 Why can't you take the leaf off your mouth? Now that you have the facts on your side Take a moment to reflect where you're from Let reason guide you, See old tracks take you out from the dark See old tracks lead you up to the stars Why can't you take the leaf off your mouth? Now that you have the facts on your side Take a moment to reflect where you're going Let reason guide you, See old tracks take you out from the dark See old tracks lead you up to the stars Let the life lead you out Let the life lead you out Let the…" (till forever)

G'day from Australia 🇦🇺, so iv found myself falling into a deep depressed state most days i don't think it's ever going to pass, a few weeks ago i heard this song for the first time it resonates with me so I'm going to listen to it every day st least once in my efforts to help myself 😶‍🌫️.. THANKS JOSE GONZALEZ.. i love your work all awesome and somewhat soothing, i sing along all the time im a bit of a mimic actually haha ..🇦🇺🙏 hoping to see you in Brisbane in February if im correct.. 👍

It's fairly obvious to me that he's a really smart guy (PHD in biochemistry) who's struggled a lot with existential crises. But he's found a way to turn that sense of despair on its head and really embrace the wonder of existence. It can be done - and when it's achieved you have a gift that very few people have. You can be in awe every day and never get bored. You can carry it with you everywhere you go and never need anything else.

This is the greatest thing to happen to me.

it always breaks my heart every time I discover another wonderfully talented artist that isn't isn't getting enough publicity or airtime

José's voice has this cult-like leader charismatic presence in my heart that I just want to believe in!

Wow what a great composition when ever I see this it's make me happy...

saw him in Malmo Sweden, summer 22.. amazing guy!

Just discovered him a few days ago. Fell in love immediately. I cried through Every Age the first few times I heard it.

So I have been listening to this on repeat whole day at work today..but I am still not able to sing along to this song..he always has this very unique way to sing the verse I don't know...may be I am multitasking so it is difficult for me haha....I need to practice more so that I can sing along when I see you in April :)

I love, love, love your voice. Your voice make me really happy :)

The message of this song is beautiful

Te esperamos por aquí por Argentina para ir a verte para cuando puedas darte una vueltita, José querido. Tu música es hermosa!

Awesome.

some of my biggest inspirations to writing music is Jose Gonzales, 2pac, jimi Hendrix, MGMT, and Nico Vega. I know you wont read this Mr. Gonzalez but you are a true artist who makes music with truth and meaning. Thanks alot for the beautiful music.

me encanta su música!

Super beautiful magic beat .......

love this song!!

Beautiful song

I love this artist! He channels the sound of The Moody Blues more than ANY other artist. The Moody Blues is my fave band - and I believe this guy's music is equivalent in its greatness. When I first heard this song, I literally thought it was a new Moody Blues album cut. Enjoy, classic rock fans...

I must admit, I heard it as: "Look how lovely you are". But "Let the light lead you out" is also nice.

Bellisima cancion❤❤

That is a remarkable song. Wow.

Amazing

Love this!

I love this.

great song

My favourite singer for ever, you are not only a singer but also philosopher of life!

Sooooooo Beautiful ♥

This band save me from a suicide

Great song! It helped me a lot! Thanx!!

Saw you for the first time in Salt Lake City recently. Truly blown away. Truly. Fan for life.

I had not noticed the shirt of the Ejército Zapatista that the punk guy is wearing, it's cool

Can't wait to meet him in Prague!

Thanks for this José.

Saw him at Red Butte Garden in SLC. Such a great concert. Hope he comes back soon!!

José González, suas músicas são "DEMAIS"... ultrapassam todas as barreiras físicas e nos elevam ao plano superior... Parabéns... Que o Grande Arquiteto do Universo o ilumine sempre.

José, you freaking legend :)

So weird! I love it.

this was very touching

Algumas músicas são capazes de nos fazer sentir mais vivos, não por nos dar respostas mas por nos fazer ir além do comum de nós mesmos. Simplesmente demais.

laa. That was so good! Yes. Total zone

Can't wait to see you in Feb 19 :)

Lordamercy, I can the light!

He is back!

My happy place

I cried when you played this live last month in LA. Such an emotional experience.

Can't wait to see you in April...also also can't wait to buy your album in Feb :)

Äntligen

No se la letra.. Pero me transmite josé una cosa inexplicable... Es muy hermosa... Es profunda o quizás aguda y llega a mis profundidades sin saber que dice... No se ingles !!

tenías que ser argentino. otro orgullo!

haha amazing. beautiful songs.

José González se parece a mohamed sala :v el del Liverpool.

♥

This is so frekkin good. He's like a much more groovy Cat Stevens.

Jose Come to PERU please!

Why have i only just found this song

Always..

❤😢

When in Poland, Jose? Greetings!

This is the music of TODAY! Thank you!!! Where are you from?!

José González the fucking genius

;o) a écouter

Even though I'm not an atheist, I love the beginning of this video. It always makes me happy. I think more Godless congregations should... congregate :) Life is good.

why is this video unlisted? is it not out officially yet?

У меня сын любит его творчество и то же учиться играть на гитаре

The vocal lines and the droning guitar remind me a lot of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, a qawwali singer. I remember Jeff Buckley followed him as well. Does anyone know if this guitar tuning comes from a middle eastern music style?
