This song first really hit me a few months ago when my wife and I saw Jose in concert in Portland. We've been struggling for years and now we're going our separate ways. This song means a lot to me right now, so thank you, Jose. As others have said, courage to step back, lower the conflict, and walk away. Thanks Jose.
What would you do If it all came back to you Each crest of each wave Bright as lightning What would you say If you had to leave today Leave everything behind Even though for once you're shining Standing on higher ground But when you hear the sounds You realise it's just a whim And you notice it matters Who and what you let under your skin If put to the test Would you step back from the line of fire Hold everything back All emotions and desires Convince yourself to be someone else And hold back from the world Your lack of confidence What you choose to believe in Dictates your rise or your fall Dictates your rise or your fall With no one else around you No one to understand you No one to hear your calls Look through all your dark corners When you're backed up against the wall Step back from the line of fire (...)
This song describes and mean a lot for me, recently I knew that one of the most important persons in my life was going to relocate far away because of their parents job, I showed her this song and I hugged her while the song was playing. By far one of the most touching songs I've ever met in my life. You just can't stop listening to it when it really means something.
One of the best song I ever listened..remains me Silvio Rodriguez casiopea.. cat Steven.. a deep state of inspiration thnx for creating this beautiful song for all of us...
What. A. Song. Beautiful. The words are so thought provoking and philosophical and blend with the music and vocal melody Perfectly. I love the way the guitar creates a slightly ominous / ‘storm is coming‘ feel ...
What would you do If it all came back to you? Each crest of each wave Bright as lightning What would you say If you had to leave today? Leave everything behind Even though for once, you're shining Standing on higher ground When you hear the sounds You realize its just the wind And you notice it matters who and what you let under your skin If put to the test Would you step back from the line of fire? Hold everything back All emotion set aside it Convince yourself Someone else Hide from the world Your lack of confidence What you choose to believe in Takes you as you fall Takes you as you fall No one else around you No one to understand you No one to hear your calls Look through all your dark corners You're backed up against the wall Step back from the line of fire What would you do If it all came back to you? Each crest of each wave Bright as lightning Do the same as you What you choose to believe in Takes you as you fall No one else around you No one to understand you No one to hear your calls Look through all your dark corners You're backed up against the wall Step back from the line of fire
Beautiful song and great voice. Introduced to Junip via a Seba In-line skate clip. It was a great match for the vision and I just had to know who sung it.
Standard tuning As far as I figured it out: Chord progression in verse: Am (I think he mutes the low E string with his pinkie) - Am/G (302010) - Dsus2/F# (200210) Before he goes back to the Am he hammers on the low E-string 0h2 and 2h3 Chorus: C - G (open high e-string) - some other Dsus2/F# shape (554030) C - G (open high e-string) - and another Dsus2/F# shape (from x54030 to 5x035 I think)
Nalin Brarath I figured out how to play most of it just by watching the video, unfortunately I don't know anything about music theory so I can't tell you what the chords are but you should be able to get close by copying the hand shapes, it's in standard tuning.
the chords aren't that hard. a descending minor progression from am to a f#/d slash chord (with an am/g chord in the middle) for the verse. c / b-g slash / g / d chord structure for the chorus. i'm probably writing a lot of that wrong, but it's an easy tune to play. it's harder to play it (and sing it) with the emotion that jg does. :)
michaelhernsin its normal tunning. The fact is that his guitar has strong basses strings plus a special tone, In my opinion. Its pretty easy To fins The chords In internet, so you can find The melody In those scAles, if you want To play just instrumental. Cheers

Hang in there friend
This song fills me with courage to face difficult things
I feel like a cowboy filled with resolve
José González is one of the best musicians I've known of. He really feels what he sings and that's what makes the difference.
Awesome artist.
What would you do
If it all came back to you
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
What would you say
If you had to leave today
Leave everything behind
Even though for once you're shining
Standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sounds
You realise it's just a whim
And you notice it matters
Who and what you let under your skin
If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires
Convince yourself to be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall
Dictates your rise or your fall
With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire
(...)
The line is "you realise it's just the wind"
It's whim
Kooky- whim... sudden impulse
I really like this better than the album version..
Jad Bourji get a hearing aid
Gerardo Salas Thanks for taking a moment to send a shitty negative vibe comment that shows up in my email and interrupts my day.
@@gerardosalas9477 get a pair of solid speakers :D
Yes ... SO true ! This live and raw (just José on acoustic ) is much much more powerful than the studio (album ) Version I feel
@@gerardosalas9477 get some understanding about the fact that you're not the center of the universe and everyone doesn't like what you like best
How many times am I going to listen this?
My God. Thank you Jose.
I've listened to this version a hundred times and here I am again.
Jose ... if you or your Manager sees this ..
PLEASE release this Live version officially so we can get it !!

HoldUpEh thanks for sharing. One of those few songs where I feel I can relate to pretty much every line.. Amazing
Lovely image of how the song meant something in your life
This song speaks directly to my heart.
Red Dead Redemption , Fear The Walking Dead , Life is Strange and Breaking Bad. Jose's songs used in everything i love.
Yasin Eyup Usta - Can you tell me which episode in Breaking Bad I can hear this song?
@@gormx1 it was in the promo for the series finale
Blacklist, too
The part in RDR when the song begins is one of my favorite video game moments.
He also made soundtrack for my fav movie walter mitty, along with the rest of the things you mentioned!
I am literally in love with this man.
Best song from that live show
Wow.. never heard this song of him, but I’m at the half of the sing and I’m blown away. Thank you Jose, thank you KEXP
one of a kind artist
Listened to this song yesterday live in London at his concert, was truly beautiful. He is an outstanding musician.
Amo a Jose Gonzalez! Tanto talento!!!! Hasta me encanta eso que hace en 1:09! Emocionante Jose!
I love this melody the sounds are so peaceful
One of the Greatest Guitarists of our time.
Madre mia , no me canso de escuchar esta bella canción de este gran artista , bravo por la música
Madre mía, una canción propia para estos días que vivimos con una guerra en pleno auge. Fuerza para todos! 😢😢😢
Melhor cantor .. A paz e a leveza pode ser sentida em cada musica e cada detalhe...
One of the best song I ever listened..remains me Silvio Rodriguez casiopea.. cat Steven.. a deep state of inspiration thnx for creating this beautiful song for all of us...

What. A. Song.
Beautiful.

What would you do
If it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning

Leave everything behind
Even though for once, you're shining
Standing on higher ground
When you hear the sounds
You realize its just the wind
And you notice it matters who and what you let under your skin
If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire?
Hold everything back
All emotion set aside it
Convince yourself
Someone else
Hide from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Takes you as you fall
Takes you as you fall
No one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
You're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire
What would you do
If it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
Do the same as you
What you choose to believe in
Takes you as you fall
No one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
You're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire
Beautiful song and great voice. Introduced to Junip via a Seba In-line skate clip. It was a great match for the vision and I just had to know who sung it.
Just Love Love Love!
José González,...Sangre y talento argentino 🇦🇷🎶
i love this so much
Was practicing this song for weeks watching 'Junip - Line of Fire on KEXP', and this shows up!! Thanks !!
perfect
love this song
Flying outside my skin
Puh...pure love!
Brilliant.
I mean, truly brilliant.
Life is worth living max - paso
Saw him yesterday. He played a fucking blistering version of this. Knocked me off my feet.
uma otima musica ,que pensei não existi mais.
Love it! The intro sounds like One by U2
Awesome job there man.
Argentina 🇦🇷❤
Play on Jose! Sigue caminando!
Una Verdadera Obra de Arte!
Me trae recuerdos sobre todo BREAKING BAD 😢
gracias, si no no me hubiera acordado de donde conocía esta canción e.e
I’ve grown fear of clarity. It only shows darkness.
Love Trent Reznor and Maynard James Keenan, and Junip for me is on their level.
hermoso, que temazoo!! 👏👏👏
I wish I could be friends with each of you Jose fans- p.s crosses
didn't know Salah could play the guitar
Alisson should play the drums
Aa great as the Junip version
Any way you slice it. A beautiful poignant song that cuts close to the bone. It bears repeated listening.. Treat yourself to Junip version!
What classical rock song does this beautiful song remind me of?
Wicked game?
Babe I’m gonna leave you Led Zepplin?
ever see Jose Gonzalez and Llewyn Davis in the same room?
i would love that
Escúchala Pedro hombre
😳
If you strum Led Zeppelin's Babe I'm Gonna Leave You it sounds very similar
Are we all crying or what?
Anyone any idea on tuning? Regular?
yep!
Does anyone happen to know the tuning and chord progressions he is using in this live version?? any info would be amazing!!
Standard tuning
As far as I figured it out:
Chord progression in verse:
Am (I think he mutes the low E string with his pinkie) - Am/G (302010) - Dsus2/F# (200210)
Before he goes back to the Am he hammers on the low E-string 0h2 and 2h3
Chorus:
C - G (open high e-string) - some other Dsus2/F# shape (554030)
C - G (open high e-string) - and another Dsus2/F# shape (from x54030 to 5x035 I think)
thanks man! sounds great
Sólido
This generally sounds like my dad's song
Does anyone know what tuning he is in here? Is it just drop D?
should be in standard tuning
Normal tunning
Can someone figure out the chords?
Nalin Brarath I figured out how to play most of it just by watching the video, unfortunately I don't know anything about music theory so I can't tell you what the chords are but you should be able to get close by copying the hand shapes, it's in standard tuning.
yep did that, figured out the chords by watching closely. Thanks any way!
No worries, it's a pretty fun song to play and sing so I'm glad you figured it out :)
the chords aren't that hard. a descending minor progression from am to a f#/d slash chord (with an am/g chord in the middle) for the verse. c / b-g slash / g / d chord structure for the chorus. i'm probably writing a lot of that wrong, but it's an easy tune to play.
it's harder to play it (and sing it) with the emotion that jg does. :)
Am - Am/G - Am/F# - Am/F#
Only a year late.. :) Let me know if you want the rest. It´s super simple.
What is the top string? Is it tuned to D?
It's standard tuning. Top string is E
Taylor Burkhalter how much do I have to pay you to make tabs for this?
michaelhernsin its normal tunning. The fact is that his guitar has strong basses strings plus a special tone, In my opinion. Its pretty easy To fins The chords In internet, so you can find The melody In those scAles, if you want To play just instrumental. Cheers
Jose you are terrible. No more comments
