Sad, sad lover
Being true
Falling out a window
For the view
All of us laugh
How many of us sing?
This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love, love
Lose your body
And your mind
And the bitter
Taste of time
All of us cry
While we should be dancing
This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love, love
Fly, fly away
Do you remember?
All of us sleeping
How many of us dream?
This sky where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love, love

Couldn't have said it better- this song fits in to a grove I am feeling right now- chilling by myself, got my good stereo system on...perfect song... |

| jruhnke (Houston, TX) | Posted: May 05, 2013 - 18:23 Why do the instrumentals of this song remind me of Steve Winwood? |

| Hippostar (Portland, OR) | Posted: Apr 24, 2013 - 07:36 It's a fine song until his overused, whiney guitar sound comes in. |
| ch83575 | Posted: Apr 24, 2013 - 07:35 Fantastic intro! But the vocals don't really do anything for me... maybe he should make this on an instrumental, I would probably prefer it. |
| Minimally | Posted: Apr 18, 2013 - 12:06 Such a beautiful song. 10 in my book. |
| ODAD (Yakima, WA, USA) | Posted: Apr 13, 2013 - 19:44 Every one in my bit string loves this song. As for the zeroes, well hey they don't really matter much. Or do they ??? |

| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Mar 26, 2013 - 18:32 My favorite DT output (by far), yet I know fans of his that have never heard of it! He's great live; especially collaborating with his bride, Susan. |

| unclehud (now 50 feet above the planet in Boston) | Posted: Mar 22, 2013 - 08:05 I really hate it when work interferes with my RP time.  to hippiechick: Yes! I've seen them twice and was at first put off by Mr. Trucks' lack of gyrations and whirls and etc that you see with lots of other guitarists, but then I started noticing his smile and concentration, and the low-key way he related to other band members, and realized he's enjoying this as much (or perhaps more) than the demonstrably emotive guitarists. He finger plucks rather than using a pick, too. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Mar 22, 2013 - 08:01 Just love the way he plays, with so much emotion. Funny thing is, he doesn't move a muscle on stage, all the way through the show. And that is not Derek singing. |

| gvan (From inside the house!) | Posted: Feb 21, 2013 - 12:48 Inner sense of hipness: "You must like this song." The rest of me: "Oh, shut up. This song bites." |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Feb 20, 2013 - 09:55 It would be difficult for any band to do better. Wonderful gospel-y bluesy sweet-natured piece. And that guitar... |

| akiml (Cambridge, MA) | Posted: Feb 07, 2013 - 15:04 Never heard these guys before. Have to say I did not expect anything as smooth as this. Kinda like it! |

| madaxeman (Scottish west coast) | Posted: Jan 04, 2013 - 12:12 Still Godlike. |
| misterbearbaby (Marina del Rey, California) | Posted: Dec 31, 2012 - 11:08 These dudes can PLAY - IMO, best "NEW" band in the past few years! Look up their video with Herbie Hancock playing "Space Captain" on YouTube, Hear/see Derek and Susan Tedeschi singing and playing 125% better than they possibly can, to fly with HH- it's quite moving. |
| MassivRuss (Massachusetts) | Posted: Dec 31, 2012 - 11:04 Everyone in my head loves this song! |

Do NOT stop taking your medicine, my friend. |

| tahtahfornow | Posted: Dec 20, 2012 - 20:38 when we got to bring this band to our club in Idaho, it was such an honor.. what a great band and music style. this song - not Godlike, but truly so beautiful.... thank you for sharing it |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Dec 06, 2012 - 22:04 Nice! |
| msymmes (Toronto, CA) | Posted: Nov 24, 2012 - 11:14 This makes for a great driving song on a sunny day in the hills somewhere. |
| TuneAgeWhereWoof | Posted: Nov 19, 2012 - 12:00 I've always felt Derek was just a bit too rough-hewn on slide.. so not *quite* channeling Duane. Somehow, he just doesnt' bring the depth of sorrow... but a nice turn for sure! Who was singing? |
| hightail | Posted: Nov 12, 2012 - 14:24 A perfect joyful tune for a peaceful evening with the cat on my lap. |

| hopper99 (Germany) | Posted: Sep 17, 2012 - 14:05 There's definitely such a thing as too mellow. Agreed. |
