LYRICS I think they deserve to be read over & over again: [Verse 1] I lived my life alone before you And with those that I'd never succeeded to love And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude I fought you, I did not know how to give it up [Verse 2] Before you, had I ever known love Or had I only known misuse of the power another had over me? The power another had over me [Verse 3] I crossed the country and I carried no key Couldn't I look up at the stars from anywhere? And sometimes I did, I felt ancient But still I sought peace and it never came to me [Verse 4] They often spoke as though I had been set free But I traveled only in service of my dreams I stood before them all, I was a sleepwalker [Verse 5] Couldn't hold my misery down Not even for you It bore me on all the places I've ever gone And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude But I long for you now Even when you just leave the room {Verse 6} And of all the roads and the cities that I passed through And of all the eyes I have searched inside The one sense of permanence that I came to feel was mine Only beneath your gaze

This is so flawless it almost looks unreal.

I'm floored, shoving all my other music aside.

Can't stop listening to this song, the way the words fit with the melody is so special

FEELING !!!굳입니다^^

She's enchanting live, if you have the opportunity - take it. Saw her open at the Independent with Bilinda Butchers in 2014. There were only like 30 people in the crowd but we were all mesmerized. Straight up magic. Go see this magic woman make her magic and support her to make more of her magic.

Very inspiring voice, beautiful lyrics and amazing songs. Thank you!

Wow

Excellent performance and album.

WHO IS SHE… MY NEW FAVORITE ARTIST!!!🤗

' i love this song so much. I saw her in concert at Form Arcosanti and she was just as amazing. Her voice makes me cry everything, especially this song.

so beautiful, incredible honesty

Ich weiß nicht, wie ich das Leben bis her ohne das ertragen habe.

Such a gem

❤️❤️

Love ❤️ ❤️ This my favorite from her ❤️❤️

Essa música... ♥

Amazing song. Reminds me of Myriam Gendron's work. Actually, some guitar lines are very similar to Gendron's "Solace". I wonder if this is a tribute or coincidence. Does not matter though, this is great songwriting.

I'm dead

peace...

it's like she knows me 😭😭😭

So I'm attempting to translate the amazing lyrics of this song to Spanish and I'm struggling with "I stood before them all". What do you think "them all" refers to? The dreams? And what do you interpret to be the meaning of that verse? Any help would be greatly appreciated ;)

hi

Does anyone know what tuning(s) Julie uses? Such a warm and soothing tone.

I'm so torn. The lyrics weave in an out of a suitable meter with delicate lines tumbling into ham-fisted ones. When you isolate the vocal melody, it sounds like she starts off following the upper voice of the fingerstyle line and then forgets where the melody is at. I love the song and her voice, but the second verse says it all; the first line is truncated, while the vocals on the second stanza meander a bit aimlessly as the lyrics tend away from the confessional into the histrionic. I've listened to this song dozens of times, and I love it, but man could it use an editor to shore it all up.
