Sierra Ferrell, "In Dreams" // GemsOnVHS™

- I know everyone was clamoring for another sharing of Sierra and her unique jingle-jangle sound. Well, when I was in New Orleans, I went to a hazy late night old-time show. Accordions blared on a stage lit only by bonfire and shrouded by a giant treehouse, like something out a childhood fairy tale. People danced and whirled, drank and laughed.
None other than Sierra herself blessed my eyes, unchanged since i'd seen her last, enjoying the fire, company and music. Trying to track her down was always a failing effort, so finding her in the wild was always one of those things you're both surprised and not surprised by at the same time. It's just the way of things.
She told me she'd soon be in Nashville, and was surprised to hear so many wanted to hear more. She said of course we'd make another. Though she wasn't there when she said she'd be, she showed up sometime. Sometime being as good a time as any, we made this recording one rainy afternoon with Joseph Faison IV on guitar.

GemsOnVHS wow thanks!
YES!!!
I hope this song is released soon on bandcamp, I’ve been listening to this video on repeat for days!
GemsOnVHS Dear lord, why isn't this on Spotify yet? In fact it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. The link you posted does not go to this song. Why?
Spotify doesn't pay artists enough to live on. She is working class - not rich, so the songs on bandcamp are what she has been able to record thus far. Thank you for listening!
She is one of those artists that kill it live but producers and recorders have a hard time capturing the lightning in a bottle
i think it’s pretty well captured. she’s just good
@@GemsOnVHS Which is why everyone says your recordings are better than the actual album/spotify releases lol.
What an amazing comment.
if Bob Dylan could find the right producers this girl def can, have heard this sound many times done well in albums🔊🔊 just always takes the right team
@@the_cat_napand she already did, her album is phenomenal
She sounds like an old vinyl record crackling in the living room of a farm house built in 1933.
And that’s a beautiful thing❤
omg, yes, you captured the essence of her music so well in your description!
Glorious description! I thought something similar, but one of those portable Victrolas playing it at an outdoor barn dance....Either way, marvelous!
Actual nail on the head
Lol facts
This song sounds like summer with your love: bike rides on hidden trails, swimming holes, picking wildflowers, fishing in hidden ponds, picnics by the lake, the warm sun dancing through the trees 😍🥹
I wish to have a Summer like this
Jupp
My wife and I like to watch the youngsters that are in long distance relationships surprise each other in video on TH-cam. It is so heart-warming.
@@hollythornell5262 yeah me too, one day.
I want to live where you live. Holy shit 😟
Found a short clip of this on tiktok and IMMEDIATELY came to listen to it all. Holy sh.. just wow! No words, it's so beautiful
Same! Four years out in the world and I'm glad TikTok delivered it to me, even if it came a little late.
Omg! Me too, right now!!
Was it the flower garden?
@@lambseekh3619 yes it was🥰
SAME - I'm not into country too much but this is just beautiful and she has an incredible voice
This version is so much better than the new album version. I think she’s at her best live and acoustic, either by herself or with a couple of other players. She doesn’t need fancy production.
The producer and engineers: We done fucked up!
It's so much more authentic/raw. Hearing the foot tapping, the slight echo in the barn. Just really beautiful. the album is very polished, but I love me some Ferrell so 🤷♀️
Agree
I agree that she is a incredibly gifted and powerful performer. I've seen her live 3 times and each time I've seen her has been better than the time before.
But her album is truly remarkable too. So much variety and musicianship and partnerships with some really big names and talented musicians. The album should/ probably will take her even higher.
West Virginia Waltz, Silver Dollar and Far Across the Sea were particularly amazing recordings. All good live too, but I think these in particular show she can prove something in the recording studio too.
Go see her now while her tickets are still 20 bucks!
Agreed
I like the way 👁👅👁 dude plays guitar. Great performance
I notice it every time
I think it's a guitar pick in his lips. Could be wrong, I often am😜 Fantastic performance either way, if you listen to this song without him you can really tell how much he adds to it
That’s called a guitar “lick”😄
I make that face when I listen to this and can't even play even
LMAO you know he's playing damn good bec he's had a few Busch's
I don’t usually notice lyrics but holy shit. This is just…
Won't you sit down, you know I love you honey
And you look so tired
I know it's hard how we're thrown into this life
Then one day we must die
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
That river will flow on
Take me with you now before I'm one
That’s fucking poetry
This song plays in my head when I look at my wife, weird how music can do the things it does to you.
😭😭 I love this comment
That's beautiful.
This is so lovely ☺️
This just autoplayed after Dust In A Baggie and I thought I was still in the comments for that one, so your comment had me dumbfounded for a sec.
That voice sounds like it's coming through a time machine made up of old gramophone parts. Beautiful.
Perfect description
Indeed mate! It's almost as if she has a "1930's American radio" sound, instinctively. She's most impressive
It reminds me of the French song playing in “Saving Private Ryan” right before the Germans try to take the bridge.
Right you are,johnconway82!
Amazing call John
I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I've listened to this over 50 times in the past month, I legit can't get it out of my head
I know... one complaint is it's too short!
50 times a day, baby.
Me too.
I am right there with you!! I listen to it multiple times daily, gets me in the beat mood!! She has a stunning voice. I am obsessed.
Same here. Class ..special!!!
Remember the first time you clicked on this?
No...ive clicked hundreds of times. One of my best TH-cam finds ever!
You cried too?
Drunk as shit alone in my house couple years now
Yes. Just a few minutes ago, and it's already replayed. I'll probably listen to this song all week.
something about the way she says "tired" at 0:52 gives me goosebumps
The raaassp ugfh so good
me too
Something about the way she says everything gives me goosebumps.
Me 3
I think maybe because she's saying it with compassion, as if she's living in the moment she's creating. I don't know if I'm explaining it right. But that's what resonates with me, it makes me think how I say it to my husband at the end of his long work day.
did anyone realize......
her knee tattoo.... is a bee.
THIS LADY IS THE BEES KNEES
She has cat’s pajamas on her ass.
@@captainkangaroo4301 xD
@Caleb Pearl I dig it.
You say you didn't realize it but yet you commented on it showing that you did in fact realize..
@@ggmann13 False my good sir.... I said, "did anyone realize...." in fact stating that I neither didn't realize nor did realize that the tattoo was there. I simply asked if others had realized. You must go over my comment once again my friend.
Yeah not to be dramatic or anything but I'm in love with her now
How can she be his woman... She's mine❤
Well, i guess this makes three of us.
Yikes and a half
yeh i want her too
@@mattwhitington8754 who dosent lolol
Lyrics.....
I hope I'm in your dreams
The way you are in all of my mine
You've got a love so fine
I wish that I could make you mine
Won't you sit down, you know I love you honey
And you look so tired
I know it's hard how we're thrown into this life
Then one day we must die
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
That river will flow on
Take me with you now before I'm one
I walk into the room and there you sit
There you sit, you so alone and quiet
I can't help but stare how I love you, and it just ain't fair
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
That river will flow on
Take me with you now before I'm one
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
🇧🇷❤️
This songs captures the innocence of youth, the love lost, and everything in between.
A voice like a warm hug.
First time I've heard this, I just cried my eyes out. I'm so f-ing glad I'm alive and such a beautiful song exists that I can listen to.
It's all good , ma'am. Day at a time and occasionally, bright things happen....like Sierra all over this song. Peace
RIGHT?! This was my experience
I totally agree with you she's one of those singers I have armpit hair
Same 😭👏🏼❤️
glad to exist along with this song also
There isn’t a single song on the radio today that holds a candle to this one.
How hard is it to start a radio station... cuz this song should be on the damn radio. Where I live in Western NC we get some solid music thanks to 88.7 fm “listener powered radio”... if you build it they will come sir
@@Huskinmatt I reckon. I’m not trying to imply that all music on the radio today is bad. It is simply my opinion that this song is better than any songs I’m hearing on terrestrial radio today.
@@Huskinmatt I cracked my knuckles to type out "88.7 WNCW" and now I see you beat me to it! They're quite the radio station.
there's quite a few actually
@@Huskinmatt from Polk County myself, nice to see another WNC made it here
The counter melody played by buddy is such a huge part of why this song hits so hard.
Thanks!
...best version of this,perfectly judged accompaniement,love it!@@josephfaison4
@@josephfaison4what’s the deal with sierra’s not a friggin babe?
@@ayliomah9444 Oh no i didn't realize that was public. It was originally called Sierra's a friggen babe, it was a playlist I made for her a long time ago. My ex wife made me change the name.
There's something I love so much about the new young country artists with tattoos and piercings, love the way the styles have changed
evertimne she looks at the camera i wanna run away from home
But she only looks straight into it( one)once.
@@chowbonky7925 well, I guess it's a good thing she doesn't need your approval for anything then! 🙄
damn, that's a beautiful YT c section comment. much love
yes
Frfr
Haven't heard anyone with such control of their voice since Amy Winehouse.
Hiatus kaiyote
Yes I was just thinking that lol
😑
Amy 🖤
Haley reinhart dude lol both are great artists!
This is the GOAT version and if you disagree, well we can't all be right.
Something about the sound of this song makes me sad and tear up because it makes me think of a love I’ll never have, but the river flows on.
I feel you man. Music like this is hard to listen to for people like is but there’s something that still draws us in
I know how you feel. We just gotta keep on truckin. You never know what the future holds. Sometimes life can surprise you.
Same
This girl has something special.
her looks? Yeah.
junkwes her looks do help without a doubt..... BUT I implore you to play guitar like her and sing that angelically. Fucking shallow prick.
Bri Fitz lol, well said my friend.
yeah, talent. which the popular modern country so called "musicians" lack
It's almost like not being pop commercial makes one a hipster, then someone comes in and calls them a hipster in a disparaging way. So, does that mean the correct answer is pop commercialism, or is it pop commercialism that makes everything else out to be hipster, creating a whole cycle of criticism and accusation? I'm pretty sure saying all of this gets me the hipster label too...I guess I should go listen to some Florida Georgia Line and get with the program.
How she says "tired" folds my heart.
Same
Yes
yup
Just like loretty lynn!
Alright I've decided that this is the best song I've heard in a decade.
That unique voice of her on Instagram reels brought me here. 💞
Same ❤️
Saaame
Same! And this version! 🥰
Omg same
I hope I'm in your dreams
The way you are in all of my mine
You've got a love so fine
I wish that I could make you mine
Won't you sit down, you know I love you honey
And you look so tired
I know it's hard how we're thrown into this life
And then one day we must die
[Chorus]
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
Yes, that river will flow on
Won't you take me with you before I'm one
[Verse 2]
Then I walk into the room and there you sit
There you sit and you're so alone and quiet
Well I can't help but stare
Oh I love you, and it just ain't fair
[Chorus]
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
Yes, that river will flow on
Won't you take me with you before I'm one
Thanks!
Thanks for the lyrics! I think it's "Won't you take me with you before I'm won", as in, take me before somebody else comes along?
@@HladgerdKissinger I took itnto mean before I'm one as in before im one with everything like dead lol
terry hammac yeah I’ve sung it in my head as both versions. I wonder if it might be meant to be a double play, accessing both the old country roots and the new age psychedelic river of life point of view.
Skeggs of Horkabjork i thought it said "before I'm gone" like how she said one day we must die
Love how real country music is made by the tattooed and pierced outcasts of this world. Her voice is something like June carters draws you in and tells you a most beautiful story. Keep it up and keep these songs coming. Keep real country alive.
Took the words right out of my mouth ya did
Patsy Cline is my take.
Tattoos and piercings are everywhere nowadays, I wouldn’t really say they are outcasts by any stretch
Agree. Outcast, as in today's country outlaws that Nashville, and the mainstream will never accept... Or something like that.
yeah id say the outcasts are people with tats and piercings now lol
She’s 2020’s Dolly Parton. Dolly grew up around master pickers and she’s much more refined but this little lady has the spirit and feel that can’t be bought just like Dolly. Her writing skills mirror Dolly’s in bringing her experiences out in her songs. Please keep any and all guitar teachers away from her. Her picking is absolutely perfect the way it is. Her songwriting skills come along once in a lifetime. I can’t even imagine how good the offspring of her and Colter Wall would be. Damnit man.
I've watched this a hundred tomes it always makes me so happy
nice
This sounds way way better than the audio version. I thought the audio was going to sound like this but it didnt. This is still a gem.
Yeah I feel the same way, kinda disappointed by the studio recording. Maybe it'll grow on me.
@@IanBandeau yeah the studio version just doesn’t have that upbeat tempo that makes you want to tap your foot. Also I’m just not a big fan of overly produced folk music. Just give me a guitar, banjo and vocals and I’m good. I still enjoy the studio version don’t get me wrong but it just doesn’t hit like the gems version.
I was hoping she would eventually do it this way again since I had heard her do it the new way so much. I wonder who suggested the change because it doesn't flow or have the emotion this one does.
@@travisrichardson6295 yeah, overproduced folk and country kinda defeats the purpose. it's the same problem I have with colter wall, her live versions are always better than the album version
That's why they call this channel "Gems"OnVHS... everything on here is 💎 ;-)
Shout out to the other 3 people that have listened to this a million times
The way she's says at the end "ooo I got goosebumps on that one!" Uhhh ME TOO AND EVERYONE ELSE LISTENING IM SURE
If loving this woman is wrong, I don't want to be right
I wish country music was on the radio. I hear a lot of pop music with pandering country themes but no country music.
it might ruin it
will**
Public radio at certain times of day/week. I got lucky in college, the NPR blues program was on during my commute.
Ewwwww don't say country ;) lol Americana 😈
Hahahaha country???
This is punk dude, she's wearing a nose ring.
I. Can. Not. Stop. Listening. To. This.
Same !
I cant be the only who teared up after she started singing for absolutely no reason at all🥺😅
The very first song I ever heard Sierra sing and have been captivated ever since! She's a treasure!
if you lowered the recording quality and put a vinyl crackle over this you could tell me this was from the 40s and i'd believe you
I agree..it would be lovely to hear
@@vickie48 Shut up and enjoy it in modern time. Not much difference.
@@ShovelheadMatt it would have cost you nothing to not be a dick to a random person on the internet you dick.
@@QGodman His aggressive anti-hipsterism made me chuckle, and if he wasn’t a bit of a dick, I would’ve missed out on that joy.
This comment makes no sense.
You know, I still think there is time in my life to be a great husband and father.
tomatocan How are you doing there Dad? Its never too late. Have you got sober? Keep trying. Always keep trying.
Ain't nothing to it, but to do it fucker. 😅💯
How can you have kids if you're a can of tomatoes
Felix derzerstörer. Lmao 😂
Andrea Highsides. Is he really your dad?
Her and Shakey Graves need to make a song together I'd listen to it nonstop 💕
they did 😎
"Ready or Not"
This girl sounds like she stepped out of 1930 by accident, or maybe on purpose. Just has a permanent microphone cardioid condenser from 1939 in her larynx. Fan for the rest of my life.
One can only hope that as 'country music' continues to morph into pop, artists like this, Tyler Childers, Colter Walls, and others will continue to build the folk/country sub-genre into something that radio stations can't continue to ignore. Great song/voice/talent!
Did anyone else fall in love with her after hearing this
The album version doesn’t come close to this! This is perfection
She was right to get goosebumps. This is probably how she’s imagined this song all along.
When she says "honey" and gives the camera a little stare I got chills. Incredible song writer and performer. Go see her live now before she blows up!
I really hope she doesn't blow up! It sounds painful!
My friend just passed away unexpectedly, and your music has definitely been a huge help.
I hope you're well. God bless you, my friend. I lost my best friend in 2014 and never fully healed.
Sometimes less is more And quality beats quantity. She really found the beautiful sweet spot with this one everything is in perfect harmony
she makes me wanna run away and live on beans forever
It really is that good.
Try “cowpoke” by colter wall on western af’s TH-cam channel
damn bruh haha i feel it
this is the best comment im dead
Beans from even stevens?
A true Siren's song; a voice that angels would fall for.
Maynard, is that you? 🔧
Become Pneuma, brother
Same term I used to describe her above. That's what's up
What a good singer are U. I had the pleasure to hear U for the first time; thanks to the algorithm of youtube on "I dont want UR silver dollar" . This
algorithm give me the way to this song. Thanks to it ! What a honey for my ears. I hope that I will be able to see/hear others songs !
Thanks from France.
This video almost gives me an existential crisis every time I watch it. I feel like it’s going to unearth a suppressed memory from a past life. It’s beautiful, but it breaks my heart.
It reminds me of the special kind of love that I used to believe in as a teenager. Being older and jaded, I’m not so sure such a thing exists.
This is the best version of her best song.
2024 song still gives me goosebumps
She, (Sierra) stayed over at my apartment in Olympia a few years ago. And she gave me a cute feathered hair pin I believe she made. Rip to the friend who introduced us (Cash). 🤙
Just pre-ordered her upcoming album. I feel I owe her something considering I've listened to this song alone 2.4 million times.
“I got goosebumps on that one”. Me too Sierra... me too.
Still comeback to this song, the way she sings it is just so homey.
I'm still in love with that voice after all this time!
This song breathes life into me. This is truly lighting in a bottle
If I listen too hard I just start crying because it’s just so 🧚♂️✨🥰🪄🧚♀️
The things that’s so amazing is how much she improved since this clip. It’s almost impossible to believe it’s the same person
Just discovered her and this song. I thought it was an old song from the 1930s. It's so pretty.
i really want this rendition on streaming services it’s my favorite
The first 3 seconds hooked me. Just hearing her harmonize
I love this. If I was 30 years younger she would be mine forever.
I'm so late to the party but goddamn am i glad to be here. Chills and tears every time.
This raw / real version is much better than the album. I just love her heart in this one so much! Who agrees?
I agree. I feel the studio/album versions of her songs are a bit overproduced. I guess it gives us a really good reason to see her live :)
Beautiful song. Just represents the best of a certain tradition of American music.
The voice that carries through time and space a classic American beauty that we rarely hear over the ages
I watch WAF and gems on vhs but don't enjoy the studio stuff so much. There's a quality to live music that is the juice for me. Sierra is one of the top country voices ever for me
This version should be on all music streaming platforms. It's perfect.
I just want this in a loop, the only problem of this song is that it ends.
That camera shot that has her head bobbing back and forth like she’s on a train or horse for the second chorus may be the greatest filming in the history of music. 😍😆
I return to listen to this very often. Where has she been my whole life
Did anyone else come back to this video as soon as they heard the Spotify version? 🤚 Just doesn't hit the same...
When I was a young child about 20 years ago, my dad would listen to the radio for country songs he liked and tape them on a cassette for me so I could listen to the cassettes and fall asleep. This definitely sounds like something I would have listened to and fall asleep (comfortably) to
that's a nice memory to have 😊✌
My 104 year old greate grandmother who use to ride freight trains to escape the dust bowl in the 30s says she reminds her of the spirit of that era, her era. She said that to Sierra who use to hop freight and it was a lovely moment. She said she reminded her of her friend Peg Haskell who use to be a lady hobo and ride trains till her death in WW2.
It’s like she’s singing it to me. What a song and the pipes on that girl are out of sight. Just wow.
So glad old fashion music is still alive !
The warmth of this performance is just so beautiful, feels like I'm listening to this on my Grandpa's old gramophone. Sierra is restoring my hope for humanity, all is not lost as long as wonderful authentic soul's like this are still with us.
This song is so beautiful. Brings me to tears
She sing so well and she do picking and sing at the same time!....every morning when I wake up I start my day with her beautifull song "give it time" and by the way her band is realy made to fit with her.
this song sounds like memories you made in the summertime, absolutely loving it. greeting from switzerland
Gems.
Rare minerals of supreme quality straight from the earth.
That about sums up what you have here.
Thank you for the effort you make to bring us these gems Anthony.
And Sierra, you are wonderful.
brendon leary it wasn't the Millenials who ruined Country, it was the George Strait, Garth Brooks, and Alan Jackson generation that ruined it. They opened the flood gates for trash country, while simotaniously slamming the door of old/outlaw country.
She has a golden era voice, classic and pure like a fine bottle of old-world, natural, organic, hand made Zinfandel. I voted with a contribution/donation to this channel - if you can, i encourage you all to do what you can.
david volosen couldn’t be more correct
I love your comment.
@@shoban The picking is very reminiscent of Maybelle Carter (The Carter Family), which was 1930s, but this lovely artist has put a bit of a modern twist on it.
Only 6 years ago? Feel like a decade. I think she’s finally gonna get a Grammy in the next year or two.
I love when you hear a song for the first time and it makes you stop dead, this did it for me .
Today I was at a music festival where she ended her set with this. I had never heard of her before but I will never forget her. Her and her bandmates were absolutely f****** incredible. Her stage presence, her talent, her dedication to her craft, along with the three guys who were with her, wow. Just wow
Been waiting an age for this to turn up on Spotify. Now it is, but the studio version sounds like something I would have totally passed over. This live version however stopped me in my tracks and I keep coming back to it, it's so charming and her voice and guitar(s) is all we need.
In my opinion this is the best version
This is timeless and magical... I dont want it to end
I am so obsessed with Sierra Ferrel! her voice is magic x
Escucha a titi stier
To say it's magic is an understatement!
Her voice is crystalline.
I have watched this video 309 times I love her and her hair
Every once in a while a song hits right. I’ve come back to this 20-30 times in the last 2 weeks. She got it right. Good and heartfelt talent in these folks… love too the accompanying guitarist, playing like his life depends on it, and like he doesn’t want to let her down. Just cool.
Great music, a kick in the ass to pop country.
Her voice sounds from another era, a better place..❤
