These boys are an American gem. For my generation, 59 yrs old, they speak to the innocence of our inner child and help us see the wisdom in the road we have traveled. Beautiful tune. Thanks BBS.
At 60 it takes me back to alot of great music, I love these guys, TRUE U.S.A. MUSIC...thank you gentlemen for all of your diligence in making American musical history, your the free bird for whole new generations thank you for the humor too, real Americana. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻🤸♂️
I'm 52 and I grew up in the sticks of upstate SC - my grandmother was well known in our little community for growing azaleas from cut blooms off of another plant...this song makes me long for those days. Such simple times and such good memories. ain't many songs makes a man shed a tear but this is one of' em
Old Georgia boy here. Hate to say that I've been gone almost 20 years from where I was raised. This band always tugs my heartstrings. To see my home, and to see my Mama. Well done fellas, I got a road trip to plan. Right down 75.
Mr Eric…… I left my beloved Summerville SC and my innocence in 1980….. work has kept me in the Midwest ever since! I too am aching to Go HOME …… BBS is a wonderful lifeline to my beloved Southland. They have helped me remember who I really am ….. the southern boy
In these dark days , this band brings light and joy of fantastic past memories. Thank you guys! Sorry for loss . Looking forward to seeing you in July again in NewBrunswick, Canada 🇨🇦
Love it ❤ Bittersweet - am currently packing up what I thought was my forever home. On to pastures new. Half the learnin's in the leaving. Aye. Spot on. Thanks boys xx
Where there's smoke there's fire and these boys are definitely on fire!! Keep rocking guys you all kno what real music is.....from the heart!!!!🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Azalea were my mother's favorite bushes. I lay here listening to this song with 2 bushes outside my window that she planted. She's passed on. I love when their in bloom. And so do the bees. It's a very beautiful song. Thank you.
Carolina boy here, from just outside of the home of the azalea festival. Seen these guys with Jaime Johnson in S.C. and was blown away!!! 54 yrs old and every song they play hits hard! Great song and video, every old car and building has a story of long gone but not forgotten people. 😢 definitely makes you wish you could go back home .
Same here brother! Left the Hometown in 1980 and been living in the Midwest since . Still called Summerville home. Boy that little town changed but “it’ll always be right here “
This one spoke to me. I left a small town just like this, spent 22 years in the service just to come right back here. It is home, and I will spend the rest of my days here.
Love every song they have ever sang, but this one is up there to me. My dad discovered this band about 5 years ago, sadly passed away 3 years ago, but for those years we drank and sang every song from Blackberry Smoke. Was our favorite band, now I am taking my mother and my wife in March to see them. Can't wait!
My daughter and I just saw Charlie and Benji in Cincinnati and next month we’ll see them in Louisville AND we get to meet them in person AGAIN! BBS G. O. A. T.
@@MelanieSwauger It is Awesome to meet the guys and when you do you realize that they’re just normal people. We met the band after an acoustic show in Kent Ohio.
My unofficial granddaughter (good friend’s daughter) is named Azalea. Turning 17 this year and sure to be starting her life and leaving home soon. This hits hard. Thanks Smoke, for the amazing music. You keep rockin’ us, and we’ll keep showing up! Oh yeah….really love the vibe and sound of this one!
Always good American country down home Southern style sweet music to my ears. No matter how long I been back, the sound of Blackberry Smoke always reminds me how good it is to be back home in America. No matter how bad it may seem here, it's always better than anywhere else I've had to go to earn a living. Thanks for keeping on singing and playing Y'all....
This is the best band out there right now and I'm SO glad I was able to roam this Earth at the same time as them. What a treat to put on any BBS album and just chill. All the stress just gets blown away like smoke in the wind, it's just gone. Keep up the amazing work, Charlie & Co. We need more BBS!!
This might be the smoke's best song. I only have one pass through it, but that is one fine piece of music. I think I'll give it another listen or three.
Azalea is an incredible song! It’s one of the few songs that move me very deeply. Not many songs these days do that like when I was younger. I can’t wait to catch the boys on tour this year and see them perform this future hit. If you’ve never seen Blackberry Smoke live you are cheating yourself out of an incredible performance. They are one the few bands today I go out of my way to listen to and see them perform. I hope everyone prays for Brit too. He needs your prayers more than ever.
As a proud father of two daughters, one going to college this year and the other going to be a senior in high school this song hits HARD. I can't stop listening and it brings tears to my eyes every time. "I kiss the wind and hope that it will find you" "Half the learnin's in the leavin' : Damn Brit, Charlie and the boys, you nailed this one. Can't wait to get the album. And yes! "Home will always be right here".
Beautiful song..awesome band..BBS never makes a bad song! Charlie is a great lyricist..this band win me over like 12 years ago with their awesome music! Riding with my late husband on the motorcycle..with a BBS cd playing where ever we went around the Ga mins, valleys..off to a BBS show..I sure miss those days but I still follow them and always will. Can’t wait to the next show at the Shed…love my Blackberry Smoke ✌️❤️🤘🎶
I dont know how you write the songs that my heartache sings to me like a lullaby, but im glad you do. Long live Blackberry Smoke, and all of us here in KC wish Mr. Turner a speedy recovery! /G\
Just figured out this beautiful song on my guitar in the key of c without using a Capo as directed on the third fret. Still sounds great! Just discovered this band,they've been around since 2000! From Atlanta GA! TIME to listen to all of their albums!
Amazing song and amazing guys. Had the privilege of meeting them awhile back and they are the coolest people and funny as hell. Skynyrd would be proud.
I was just a young teenager when I fell in love with this band back around ‘09; they opened for my first ZZ Top show. 15 years later and I’m just as much in love with them now as a man in my early 30s. It’s great to see how far they’ve made it on their music and that they’re still writing at the same level. Keep on living the dream, boys ✌🏻
Woke up this morning and saw this in my notifications. Can't say I've ever watched an official video and saw so many things that are close to my home. Smoke never disappoints, but this one really made a Georgia boy smile!
I swear y'all peek right into my soul, from the words to the music to the video. Very well done. Thanks for all you do for music, for giving us great music to listen to! HOOYAH!
Spent years away from home in the military...when I finally retired, I could have gone anywhere...but chose to go back home. This song makes me realize how important that decision was
Man, this is a great song!! I'm ready for this new album to be out! The lyrics and message this sends couldn't be done better to the video also. Love the acoustic vibe to it.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard! The depth of these lyrics and musical composition are totally off the charts and is even more beautiful live, I’ll be bringing the tissues for y’all when the Smoke rolls back into St Pete in a couple weeks…❤️🙏
We have four grown sons, and have lived on Azalea Drive ( in GA) for over 25 years-this song is so special🩷 just sent it to all of them-home will always be right here!
Gotta tell you, I just bought the CD because I love the band and was hoping that there might be a couple of decent cuts. I was blown away… Never expected them to be able to equal the strength of their past work. Sat there and listened to it (all the way through) like I would an LP back in the 70s. What a pleasure, these guys are such such a treasure. Charlie Starr just gets better with age!
Saw them In Charlotte last night. Fantastic set. Performed this track live and struck a chord with the entire crowd - many had not yet heard the song, a testament to how strong it is. Mark this one down as one for the ages, will stand the test of time.
These boys are an American gem. For my generation, 59 yrs old, they speak to the innocence of our inner child and help us see the wisdom in the road we have traveled. Beautiful tune. Thanks BBS.
Bang on … you nailed it!
Agreed ✌🏻❤️
WTF are you saying? Damn
At 60 it takes me back to alot of great music, I love these guys, TRUE U.S.A. MUSIC...thank you gentlemen for all of your diligence in making American musical history, your the free bird for whole new generations thank you for the humor too, real Americana. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻🤸♂️
Aye
3:00 "I kiss the wind and hope that it will find you." Such a great line.
That line spoke to me as well.
Me too...
As the same with "Looking at the same stars you can see wherever you are...I'd make a wish on 'em
But I don't think it would go that far"
So so agree. It screamed out to me as pure poetry. You nailed it! From France.
Ikr ❤
I am thinking of tattoo this ,poetry in a single line
RIP dear Brit Turner. The band's compass has had its life behind it. You will be remembered with this song.
😢
"Half the learning's in the leaving" -That's a FACT!
What a line!
It defines the song. Every great songwriter can find those words that just make you think, “yeah, that’s so true isn’t?”.
Always a good day when there’s a new blackberry smoke song! 🎉
😎🔥🤘🏼🎵
You got that right!!!!!
Oh yeah!!! ❤ 🇨🇦
So great!
Beautiful words and music. I’m not surprised. Blackberry Smoke does it again! Best band in the land!

Such simple times and such good memories. ain't many songs makes a man shed a tear but this is one of' em
Great song here. Charlie's vocal performance stands out. I don't think he's ever sounded better. Can't wait to hear the entire album
Old Georgia boy here. Hate to say that I've been gone almost 20 years from where I was raised. This band always tugs my heartstrings. To see my home, and to see my Mama. Well done fellas, I got a road trip to plan. Right down 75.
whats keeping you from going home for so long ?
@@nealgalloway5341 I've visited over the years, but I live in Kentucky now.
@@MrEric622 Know what you mean. Originally from Macon. In N. Mn. now. Love this band.
From another old Georgia boy, welcome home!
Mr Eric…… I left my beloved Summerville SC and my innocence in 1980….. work has kept me in the Midwest ever since! I too am aching to Go HOME …… BBS is a wonderful lifeline to my beloved Southland. They have helped me remember who I really am ….. the southern boy
Blackberry Smoke makes me proud to be a Georgia girl. Saw them this year in Atlanta, they are even better live!!! Could listen to them forever!!!!!
In these dark days , this band brings light and joy of fantastic past memories. Thank you guys! Sorry for loss . Looking forward to seeing you in July again in NewBrunswick, Canada 🇨🇦
That song feels like home. Love it! 😊
What a beautiful song & video...born & raised Georgia girl & I just love seeing Poole's BBQ in the background!!! RIP Brit!
Love it ❤ Bittersweet - am currently packing up what I thought was my forever home. On to pastures new. Half the learnin's in the leaving. Aye. Spot on. Thanks boys xx
This one has a smooth mellowness that just warms your soul. Half the learnin's in the leavin'! 💖
learning to leave is the dream mate
Saw this after I posted my comment...
Where there's smoke there's fire and these boys are definitely on fire!! Keep rocking guys you all kno what real music is.....from the heart!!!!🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Making great music is definitely what y’all were born to do. 👍🎸😎✌️

I saw them the next night in VA. When they were all together and played "The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down", the crowd went crazy.
Same here brother! Left the Hometown in 1980 and been living in the Midwest since . Still called Summerville home. Boy that little town changed but “it’ll always be right here “
Charlie Starr!!! He never ceases to amaze me with his amazing sound, him and the boys have hit it out of the park with another great tune!!!!
Absolutely
This video is awesome, and the song is too. If you're from the south, it hits right in the heart and you get it probably better than most other folks!
Pure and Simple .... Just a Good Feel Song no matter where you're from , Every one misses home when being on the road for too long. Good vocal Charlie
What a beautiful song. Does not matter where you live. This song makes you homesick and you are missing where you grew up... a lot. Love you guys.
This one spoke to me. I left a small town just like this, spent 22 years in the service just to come right back here. It is home, and I will spend the rest of my days here.
Can't stop playing this song on a never ending loop!
They just get better with time. By far the best band ever
Charlie Starr’s clear and clean voice cuts through any tangled happenings of the day, and sets everything straight, again.
What wonderful song in the early morning hours!! It touches deep in the heart. Thank's for this joy for every country man 😊
Regards from Germany
Beautiful
Beautiful song guys and nice video. The best band of the Land🎸❤️

I saw them at the Ludlow Garage in Cinci and loved it so much!! I meet them in Lexington KY after an acoustic show and it was awesome!!!
@@MelanieSwauger It is Awesome to meet the guys and when you do you realize that they’re just normal people. We met the band after an acoustic show in Kent Ohio.
Fantastic! This ol’ Georgia boy feels this right in the heart. ❤️ Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents & gifts with the world.
Almost feels like the "one horse town" wasn't so bad after all... love you guys
My exact thoughts
@@ryanmurry9743God bless you and your family
You guys never disappoint! Best band in 20 years!
This song takes me back to the 70’s. So good.
Me too!! I was 18 and left NJ for CA only I missed it to much so I came back!
My unofficial granddaughter (good friend’s daughter) is named Azalea. Turning 17 this year and sure to be starting her life and leaving home soon. This hits hard. Thanks Smoke, for the amazing music. You keep rockin’ us, and we’ll keep showing up! Oh yeah….really love the vibe and sound of this one!
"I kiss the wind and hope that it will find you." 😢
I miss my family back home and this touched me 😢
Masters, this organic sound is great. It sounds magical.

I love this song, guys! BBS, you knocked it out of the park again!!
Another great song from my favorite band ! God Bless Blackberry smoke !
What an awesome video of home and a beautiful gift of song. Thank you!
Nice one boys, can’t wait for the album to drop. This is yet another BBS song I’m going to have to struggle to learn. Loving the music guys.
This might be the smoke's best song. I only have one pass through it, but that is one fine piece of music. I think I'll give it another listen or three.
German boy of 56 here... such a great band and song, especially the singing
Best from you guys in my opinion!! And the video made me cry!! Childhood memories brought back 😢 two thumbs up for an absolutely perfect song!!
You guys are absolutely incredible,
Azalea is an incredible song! It’s one of the few songs that move me very deeply. Not many songs these days do that like when I was younger.
I can’t wait to catch the boys on tour this year and see them perform this future hit.
If you’ve never seen Blackberry Smoke live you are cheating yourself out of an incredible performance.
They are one the few bands today I go out of my way to listen to and see them perform.
I hope everyone prays for Brit too. He needs your prayers more than ever.
Saw them last week in Charlotte...Charlie kills it on songs like this. Never overplays or forces it, just awesome
Excellent. Has a feel like “Running through Time” … love that! Great song fellers! I will need to learn this one! 🎸
As a proud father of two daughters, one going to college this year and the other going to be a senior in high school this song hits HARD. I can't stop listening and it brings tears to my eyes every time. "I kiss the wind and hope that it will find you" "Half the learnin's in the leavin' : Damn Brit, Charlie and the boys, you nailed this one. Can't wait to get the album. And yes!

Thank you for that. So much time spent running these roads around GA, seeing the countryside. This video brought it back like a flash.
With everything wrong in this world today, BBS stays right and true to itself. THANKYOU BBS you make this world beautiful
Awesome, Guys! Love Your Music! Great Song! Great Video! Lovely greetings from Germany!

Man…what great song! Got me a little choked up on a Friday morning! Love this one!
Just the wonderful music I have come to love from you guys! Please don’t 🛑
I miss my country . RIP America the beautiful.
Same here from Germany. They turn the country into a shithole now.
I freaking love this band! Love hearing new music from them. Not many bands make me feel emotion like they do.
This song touches your heart and leaves you with a sense of peace!
Time is truly a fucking trip man!
Another great song from a band I just can’t get enough of thanks guys. You cut to the quick.
Just came across this song! What a gem! Reminds me of a combination of groups I grew up with...Doobies,Orleans. Just beautiful.
Woke up this morning and saw this in my notifications. Can't say I've ever watched an official video and saw so many things that are close to my home. Smoke never disappoints, but this one really made a Georgia boy smile!

Well fellers, you did it again. Got me tearing up on a Sunday mornin.
Thank you!
Very good boys. Literally brought tears to my eyes. Thinking of you boys and gals with the band. Hugs from Augusta, GA
Badass. Blackberry Smoke is amazing
I've never been to Georgia, only driven thru. Next time maybe I'll stop and stay awhile. I'm sure there's good people there. Very nice song.
Fantastic song!! And I definitely recognize some of those places!!
Man, this is a great song!! I'm ready for this new album to be out! The lyrics and message this sends couldn't be done better to the video also. Love the acoustic vibe to it.
California born and raised and this music moves my heart and soul
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard! The depth of these lyrics and musical composition are totally off the charts and is even more beautiful live, I’ll be bringing the tissues for y’all when the Smoke rolls back into St Pete in a couple weeks…❤️🙏
I definitely needed this, this morning!! I kiss the wind and hope it finds you…🎶🎶💜💜💜🔥🔥
I have listened to this multiple times already 🙌🙌
Another great song from my favorite band ! God Bless Blackberry smoke ! Nashville Hillbilly !
BlackBerry smoke,Black crowes together on tour let's speak it.2024? Revelation?
The majority has spoken..... lol
Sorry black crowds are over played and over rated... I've listened to them live multiple times and it's harsh
@@nicknomad7698 Your are right Eddie is the king and he's gone

They never dissapoint. What a beautiful song.
Southern rock is where it’s at!
Gotta tell you, I just bought the CD because I love the band and was hoping that there might be a couple of decent cuts.
I was blown away… Never expected them to be able to equal the strength of their past work.
Sat there and listened to it (all the way through) like I would an LP back in the 70s. What a pleasure, these guys are such such a treasure. Charlie Starr just gets better with age!
What a great song. Awesome lyrics and performance, as usual 🤠
Sharing a gift with these young people gave them something you can't watch or listen to. There forever part of Music ❤️
Love it! So chill! I grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta in the 70's, brings back SO many memories. Thanks for this great tune.
Y'all are making it hard to wait till February! So excited to see ya live ❤! Loving the new song!
Beautiful song, Great guitar playing and Awesome lyrics!
