I want to be friends with everyone on here who loves this song and this artist as much as I do <3

@AdityakrishnaMr

Not gonna lie, this wasn't the BBC i was expecting when i searched. I ain't disappointed either.

@futuropasado

This Empty Northern Hemisphere is a masterpiece.

@michaelmemmelaar4937

Underproduced, gritty, a little grimy...and utterly amazing.  It comes out so organic, so intimate as a result.  This is music stripped of pretense and reduced to pure substance.  Greg is wholly underappreciated.

@booom1236

Bro has like 3 different versions of this song.  Each one just as good as the other.  Each one has its own vibe.  One of the most underrated artist of the gen

@eldritchf4ther

I love his other albums, but man I’d kill for an entire album in this vibe. No production, just him and the guitar, and the violin and bass. Stripped back.

@ImJake50

Been coming back to this specific live version for five years now. Damn, never gets old...

@likelyelizabeth

Honestly this song live is one of the most beautiful sounds known to mankind.

@BellevuePlumbing

What a song.  I recently took a road trip across three thousand miles of the United States, listening to this song all along the way.

@illbeyourstumbleine

The voice, the violin, the guitar, and then the rug came in and really tied it all together.

@mitchschalles7123

Been coming back to this YouTube version for 7+ years now.. someone about it ❤️

@EowynOfAnniera

Can’t get over his voice. This version needs to be on a freakin movie

@Goblin_Tank

I am heart broken that this man was singing without me knowing it. I would have been his first fan if only I'd known!

@gabew.3585

Guys y’all should keep liking my comment so I can get notified to rewatch this video

@jasonmaharam9689

Dear Gregory,
Thank you for showing me how to live in this world. Back on the train once again. This will be my last ride. You take your road, and I'll take mine, and don't forget all the beautiful lyrics you left behind. Guess I'll meet you in heaven.

Ur old friend from camp

Isakov is magnetic.  Highly under-rated, he is one of the few folk artists remaining in the key light.  Although nostalgia, poetry, and talent are of little value in modern society, his style is rememberable.

Lyrics:
You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face
You were a miracle, I was just holding your space

Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced;
Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own

And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
They won't stay, they won't stay
For too long now

This could be all that we know
Of love and all

Well you were a dancer and I was a rag
The song in my head, well, was all that I had
Hope was a letter I never could send
Love was a country we couldn't defend

And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns

Well you were a magazine, I was a plain Jane
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love to just get into some of your stories
Me and all of my plain Jane glory
Just me and all of my plain Jane glory

@TheHoldNoQuarter

i love the how they knew opening the piano and putting a weight on the sustain pedal would add resination to the recording.

@nm348

This is one of those songs that is so powerful it makes you stop whatever you are doing and just stare off into space as you listen to it. Amazing song-writing and great instrumentation! 

@EliaKlein

On my knees, prayin’ for a new album. Simply because this man knows his magic.
