Listen to this song almost every day and notice I've never left a comment. Love you, Ben. Wherever you are, whatever you're up too, I hope your light shines bright still. Gods Blessing.
I've listened to this song at least once every couple of days for almost a year. It helped me quit drinking and I'm starting to turn my life around. We're alive till the moment we are dead, and a drownin man is just a living man who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath..
I found this song about 2 months ago and I listen to it almost every other day and I would listen everyday but I don't want to get burnt on this master piece. That line hit me hard too man. I have been fighting my own demons and this shook me HARD when I first heard it. Every line was like, FUCK THATS ME!! Here is to finding our way home.
I hear ya....I'm tired of always being the last to know about shit....I actually frequently look for undiscovered talent(not American idol shit)or acoustic blues or southern rock ..still never find shit hardly and then one here it is..8fukn yrs later...anyways b4 u get to far behind again, just found this the other dayth-cam.com/video/1iAAPiro2DE/w-d-xo.html if u dont know it already, ur welcome .(:
@@DonnyDealer No worries Legend. Totally agree on Nate, the dude is utterly faultless. As far as quality original material goes though, I still think Joe takes the cake. “1, 2, 3” and “And The Lightning, He Will Ride” are criminally underrated. However, if you enjoy Focus then check out Joe’s take on Hendrix’s Voodoo Child 👌🏼👌🏼
This moved me both lyrically&emotionally! Im tired of fighting 4 my breakthrough that never came after 3years of much effort 2 change everything!!!! My soul is bound with the same spirit as my momma..she gave up b4 finding freedom as I just broke weak..my spirit is spent..the fight 4 freedom is the hook 2 motivate but it never came, just the tears did to this song. After so much hard work my soul is still homeless &my spirit sick &deeply discouraged. ..feels so hopeless. Good song..ty and God bless
Holy shit. Dude. I seen you like 6 years ago at Evolve in Nova Scotia In Canada. I was walking by your tent with my friends. Mission focus style. You were playing in a small side tent off from the main path and stage sort of close by the old pirate ship. You couldnt see your face but all I could hear was you singing. I turned around, walked back to the tent you were playing. To see the person whos voice that music belonged to because I was literally like "Who the fuck is this and what have I just heard?" Im a huge fan of blues and Janis Joplin and you are par man. Par. You turned me aorund in my tracks. I remember every deatil. Everyone was totally blindsided in the audience. I remember looking over to this girl beside me with mutual expressions of "Whoaaa. This is seriously happening right now?" 2 mins of you and youd burned yourself permanently in my brain. Dude you were THE most amazing performace Id ever been able to hear. Id never seen someone from the inside out push what sounded like his entire fricken soul into the room around him. Id never seen an audience so transfixed on someone and I was and am still completely honored I got to hear the rest of your last song. it was amazing. 6 years later I tell this story to people about this dude who was killing it in a small side show tent. i knew your name was Ben something and Id looked you up online but everything you had back then was shit and didnt do any justice to you. ive told sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many people about that day over the years. I seen Ben caplin pop up in my youtube feed and I was like "no fucking way.... is this... holy shit. Its him lol. Fuckin hell, 6 years later. I cant believe it" Thanks for coming back in my life- Ive been waiting so long for this!!! Seriously. I cant believe this. This is blowing my mind. You were a myth I talked aboutof this person i got to see for a very short period a very, very long time ago. Well done. First impression grand success. Ill be following you a lot now online. There are a lot of people who are going to be happy to put a face to that story.
Lindsay Henheffer Lindsay Henheffer dude how can we get Ben Caplan to see and reply to this!! I HAVE to know if this story is accurate! I want to believe that its true so badly! I think every one can relate to what you wrote about putting his soul into a song after they’ve heard this one. That is something that cannot be taught! Thank you Lindsay Henheffer for taking the time to share this experience with the public! It renewed my faith in people being able to reconnect regardless of time passed or distance put between them.
Newfoundland, Canada! It was spectacular, words couldn't describe the energy he brought. There was about 40 people there but not one person was standing still haha
I went down to the river Blowing out onto the sea On my way to the ocean Let the spirit swallow me I got low down in the water I let the current guide my bones I got nine kinds of trouble I'm just trying to find my way home Over 20 some years of living And a thousand wasted days I have loved a lot of women Many times I've gone wrong ways And I came down to the water For a dip to cleanse my soul They keep tellin' me that I'm just a babe But baby, why do I feel so old? This is the verge of a breakthrough It's a fine line that cannot be bent And I felt like a river ran dry But I don't know where all the rainwater went And I believe we were all dead or dying But I see different in the blue light There is no such thing as a dawn or dusk It's daylight until it is night You gotta fight through the dimming You gotta run into the west You gotta rage against the dying of the light Live for the moment that's left You gotta fight against your demons You gotta run into the west You gotta rage against the dying of the light Live for the moment that's left 'Cause there is no such thing as a dying man We're alive 'til the moment we're dead And a drowning man is just a living man Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath I went down to the river Blowing out onto the sea On my way to the ocean Let the spirit swallow me I got low down in the water I let the current guide my bones I got nine kinds of trouble I'm just trying to find my way home Find my way home Find my way home Find my way home
This is deep,.. very meaningful. Heart and soul are on his sleeve, and i love that about this. Now I've gotta go back down to the river, wash off the filth
I have tears streaming down my face listening to this. I've been in such an incredibly dark place recently, wanting to just end it all and have it all be over and done with and finally have some peace and quiet, but this song woke something up in me. The power and desperation in this man's voice resonated so deeply within me and brought up emotions that I've been trying to ignore for so damn long. It feels so good to cry. I feel raw and vulnerable and hopeful for the first time in a long time. I don't even know how to describe how I'm feeling or why I feel the way that I do, it's like this song woke my soul up and it hurts like hell but in the best way possible. This comment is probably going to be lost in the thousands of others but I couldn't just go by without saying anything. Thank you for this, thank you for writing this song, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I relate so deeply to this. I will no longer let myself rot away in a dark corner of existence, weak and withering. No, I will go out in a blaze of glory. I will live with all my heart while I am alive, and I will burn like the sun for all the world to see. And if I am consumed by the fire of life, so be it, I will go out in a blaze of glory. Better to die living than becoming a living dead.
Angie Lerryn Your comment will never be lost in thousands of other comments. I replied to it to let you know you are now linked to me in someway for the rest of time. You're not alone and you are worth it. You will always be worth it
If you need someone to talk, write me freely 👋🏻 youre not alone 🙌 I love this song Also very much, it touches me differently since 5 years already, i always come back to it, i was suicidal too, maybe i can understand you, or at least a bit
This song dug deep into me the first time I heard it which was about a million listens to ago at this point. I just can't seem to hear it enough although I'm torn between wishing there were more like it and the stark realization that what makes it so good in the first place is the fact that it is rare thing.
Can’t say better, feel you deep because I am exactly in this situation! Sometimes when I am alone I start singing this out of nowhere, trying to reach this low voice and failing, of course…
Who else didn’t realize they were holding their breath until they released it? That is what it means to feel a song. I don’t even have words to describe what I’m feeling right now.
There is a difference in those that attempt to make music, and those who relent to have the music run through them. This man had the music run through him , period. Nothing short of Great.
Max Melo I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you. so he uses simple guitar work? does that mean he only knows simple guitar licks? he sings passionately and plays at the same time in a beautiful harmony. that's musician skills that I like.
Max Melo, Have you ever seen him live? I personally think he is amazing. Maybe not the most technical guitarist, but his rythm and beat is spot on and his improv is great. Plus he plays a lot other instruments very wel0 (especially the piano)l. I was so lucky to see him live the other day, his charisma is just unbelivable live - actually one of the better concerts I have seen. And his lyrics are facenating, many are quite dark but have interesting messages. Great musician I must say. :)
How could anybody thumbs down this greatness. I thank the universe for gifting this world with your soul and skill Mr.Caplan. Thank you for being who you are and creating such richness and clarity in your music. There is something so honest and humbling with your song that it brings me to tears. I wish so badly I could express myself as true as this, uncontrollable anxiety has kept me from ever performing so I appreciate you even more for having those guts. Your voice and melody has been etched into my heart forever.
holy shit. this is some deep lyrics. keep on living so you can find your true self. blessed is a men who has suffered....he has found life. bless this dude. beautiful deep music. and awesome control of the guitar.
Holy shit... i finally did it. I finally found this song again. I immediately favorited to never lose it again. So many years trying to find this, and I finally got here.
Some songs in life have immense meaning to individuals. This is one of the many songs I feel very close to and i rediscovered it all of a sudden. I'm glad to have understood why this song hit me so hard the very first time I heard it and now, I believe I truly am able to understand and live with myself. Thanks Ben, you'll never get to know me but please know I'm so damn grateful to you. ❤
As someone who is trying to quit gambling, I play this song and keep it close to my heart whenever I feel those urges. Its worse when I can physically feel the ticks and twitches. Keep strong everyone, its a hard journey to quit something; keep at it and try to survive one day at a time, one sunrise at a time.
This song has been my secret medicine for a decade now. It has born me through the roughest waters and things I could never expect to survive. I hope it heals whatever ails you too. ✌
It is super rare that I get a shock and aw and literally make a face and just be blown away by a song but holy crap im blown away the emotions in the lyrics and in the guitar..... jeez you can tell hes gone through some stuff. Standing ovation!
WOW...i just came across this and if there was ever a song i needed to hear,this one is it,im listening to more of you,but this song here is all i need right now..thank you sir
This always finds me when I need it ....forgot about it for a few years....and now it's back....one of the best songs I've ever heard. Thank you Ben...you fukin leg end x
This song came uninvited into my Apple playlist and it's the best music I've heard in years. Possibly decades. I think I'm going to have to go to Canada to see him play in person.
My best mate lived this song until the moment he died. It was something that added to his inspirations through the fight of his terminal illness. And he truly lived until his final breath. Thank you.
Holy crap!! Im just searching blues progressions and one of the best acoustic tracks i ever heard comes back to me after a decade of not hearing it😭 I will never forget you again

I’m sorry for your loss ❤ I am 49 dying of advanced lung cancer and it helps me too
I bet
it's this kind of music that saves our souls from living empty meaningless lives.
Lukas Mees fucking exactly!
Lukas mees no your lives are still empty just with a soundtrack
Jessie James hahahahaha!
tootally agree , i want to make music like that :D
Lukas Mees every life has meaning
I literally searched "guy in park playing guitar beard" 😂
Josh hahahaha me too

This man is a fucking genius
A drowning man... No prince charming. Prince Charming is dead.... lol. He ran out of his last bit of breath.... *sigh*
U GOTTA LIVE LIKE UR DYIN BROTHER !!! LIVIN LIFE !!!
The dying always say whats the point.
@Fred Flintstone Well, on a technical level he's right. :D
I love how the camera shakes during the chorus as if his voice is so thunderous it makes the camera shake.
It is
I have been listening to this song for the past 7 years and i still enjoy. From Brasil, thanks ❤

First time hearing this. That was emotionally real, and downright sexy. That man right there just had something to say and did so perfectly
I went down to the river
Blowing out onto the sea
On my way to the ocean
Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got nine kinds of trouble
I'm just trying to find my way home
Over 20 some years of living
And a thousand wasted days
I have loved a lot of women
Many times I've gone wrong ways
And I came down to the water
For a dip to cleanse my soul
They keep tellin' me that I'm just a babe
But baby, why do I feel so old?
This is the verge of a breakthrough
It's a fine line that cannot be bent
And I felt like a river ran dry
But I don't know where all the rainwater went
And I believe we were all dead or dying
But I see different in the blue light
There is no such thing as a dawn or dusk
It's daylight until it is night
You gotta fight through the dimming
You gotta run into the west
You gotta rage against the dying of the light
Live for the moment that's left
You gotta fight against your demons
You gotta run into the west
You gotta rage against the dying of the light
Live for the moment that's left
'Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
We're alive 'til the moment we're dead
And a drowning man is just a living man
Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath
I went down to the river
Blowing out onto the sea

I got nine kinds of trouble
I'm just trying to find my way home
Find my way home
Find my way home

Better to die living than becoming a living dead.
I felt that same feeling, ur not alone in this world
Profound piece of genius songwriting , I wish I could express myself half as well
Angie Lerryn Your comment will never be lost in thousands of other comments. I replied to it to let you know you are now linked to me in someway for the rest of time. You're not alone and you are worth it. You will always be worth it
That’s so damn passionate. That’s art folks.
This song has saved my life multiple times
Wish yourself all the best, hopefully you will find a way out of your darkness ❤️
If you need someone to talk, write me freely 👋🏻 youre not alone 🙌
I love this song Also very much, it touches me differently since 5 years already, i always come back to it, i was suicidal too, maybe i can understand you, or at least a bit
hope youre still kickin man much love
This song dug deep into me the first time I heard it which was about a million listens to ago at this point. I just can't seem to hear it enough although I'm torn between wishing there were more like it and the stark realization that what makes it so good in the first place is the fact that it is rare thing.
Can’t say better, feel you deep because I am exactly in this situation! Sometimes when I am alone I start singing this out of nowhere, trying to reach this low voice and failing, of course…
this guy needs a tiny desk concert @npr tiny desk
I agree with this totally!!
kayla johnson yes he does or a gems on vhs session
Fuck that give the man a stadium
For sure. Imagine what he could do with a band behind him too
Today I found this song and it's.. it just sounds great!
Julie K. Me too! But today
me too! but today...not the day when u guys found it.
Julie if thats you in your avatar you're as beautiful as this song! *wink* from Oklahoma!
have you also listened to everyday?
+chris burgess smooth.........haha
Who else didn’t realize they were holding their breath until they released it? That is what it means to feel a song. I don’t even have words to describe what I’m feeling right now.
smoking crack are ya?
yes😂
Dude honestly I feel the same
💯
I experienced the same thing first few times I heard this song. It is so moving and Ben puts so much emotion into it its phenomenal
i love how the camera shakes as if his voice is so powerful its shaking the camera
Felt that too haha. Funny seeing u here tho
@@l0lan00b3 >.> you say that like we know each other lol
20 seconds in and I’ve already decided this is next on the list of “need to learn”
good things this is only like 4 chords. super easy song.
i also bet you never did learn it.
Someone put the lyrics and guitar chords in the comments.
Good one to have in the repertoire
@@cameronh7608 its about 6 chords
Cm, F, a#, Gm, G#(i think) and another one i forgot
There is a difference in those that attempt to make music, and those who relent to have the music run through them.
This man had the music run through him , period. Nothing short of Great.
that's an incredible insight, you must be an amazing artist yourself
Go ahead and gatekeep instead of just praise dude. You sound so very happy in life
@@badflamer God I wonder how miserable you have to be to interpret every single thing like this.
Holy shit, what did I just witness? I held my breathe the entire bridge.... What the hell.... I'm speechless
I hope this dude is touring and making new songs. This song is sincerely badass
Excellent song - highly under-rated musician...
Max Melo I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you. so he uses simple guitar work? does that mean he only knows simple guitar licks? he sings passionately and plays at the same time in a beautiful harmony. that's musician skills that I like.
D Thomas in this type of venue they're all underrated.
D Thomas paaaarakeeeet
Max Melo, Have you ever seen him live? I personally think he is amazing. Maybe not the most technical guitarist, but his rythm and beat is spot on and his improv is great. Plus he plays a lot other instruments very wel0 (especially the piano)l. I was so lucky to see him live the other day, his charisma is just unbelivable live - actually one of the better concerts I have seen. And his lyrics are facenating, many are quite dark but have interesting messages. Great musician I must say. :)
D Thomas Almost 3 million views.
Just sayin' :)
God damn has anyone else experienced a song that touched you so deeply. This is the real deal
A comment on on minds and now this my new jam, thanks for the feels fam.
Clear liquor and bonfires always lead me here.. keep on keepin on!
One of the most powerful performers I've heard in a very long time. Instant favorite.
Nic Ulfson I just discovered him today and I do agree
Man, how do you not enjoy listening to this man's musical talents???
I need THIS VERSION ON SPOTIFY
I'm so glad I found this... cant believe it took until 2021
Adam Savage really let himself go after myth busters ended.
picked up a pretty good hobby though.
underrated comment
Now he's busting myths about life haha
How could anybody thumbs down this greatness. I thank the universe for gifting this world with your soul and skill Mr.Caplan. Thank you for being who you are and creating such richness and clarity in your music. There is something so honest and humbling with your song that it brings me to tears. I wish so badly I could express myself as true as this, uncontrollable anxiety has kept me from ever performing so I appreciate you even more for having those guts. Your voice and melody has been etched into my heart forever.
Hatters gotta hate. My favorite place to play is alone :)
Benno, I'm ten million of your views. ❤️From Australia
I love your music. My voice relates to yours. Thank you for your passion and inspiration.
ONE OF THE BEST TUNES I'VE EVER HEARD A WEREWOLF PERFORM .
holy shit. this is some deep lyrics. keep on living so you can find your true self. blessed is a men who has suffered....he has found life. bless this dude. beautiful deep music. and awesome control of the guitar.
I started watching this video regularly way back when it had less than 1000 views
Holy shit... i finally did it. I finally found this song again. I immediately favorited to never lose it again. So many years trying to find this, and I finally got here.
5 minutes later and I still got goosebumps.
I sang this to my mother when she died in front of me. Beautiful words. Thank you Mr. Caplan. Thank you.
Ben Caplan, if you ever come down to Quebec city, Canada, I'll pay you a beer!! Awesome song, all my Kudo's... :)
I'm literally watching every recommended video after searching "oh lord, down by the river"
all of them are special❤
Some songs in life have immense meaning to individuals. This is one of the many songs I feel very close to and i rediscovered it all of a sudden. I'm glad to have understood why this song hit me so hard the very first time I heard it and now, I believe I truly am able to understand and live with myself. Thanks Ben, you'll never get to know me but please know I'm so damn grateful to you. ❤
I come back to this song every fall. There is just something about it that is just so comforting for me
As someone who is trying to quit gambling, I play this song and keep it close to my heart whenever I feel those urges. Its worse when I can physically feel the ticks and twitches. Keep strong everyone, its a hard journey to quit something; keep at it and try to survive one day at a time, one sunrise at a time.
18.03.2024 still love this... Down to the River!!!
No idea what year i first listened to this but love coming back to it. Maximum effort. Just breathe it in and follow suit
Brought tears to my eyes; captivating, passionate, makes me want to scream the lyrics to the heavens, in a word, beautiful.
Wow..First time I hear this today. I am blown away. This is my song...
2023 and we are still coming back for that energy! ❤️🔥
I was waiting for a whirlwind of autumn leaves encapsulate the feeling of conviction when this man breathes.
This song has been my secret medicine for a decade now. It has born me through the roughest waters and things I could never expect to survive. I hope it heals whatever ails you too. ✌
Me to
I absolutely love this song
“There is no such thing as a dying man, we are living until we are dead” 😳🔥
He's so underrated. 💙💫
Hits the nail on the head and floors it in one punch!
Great song!
I learned about this version from my nephews and now share it with anyone I deem musically responsible. ❤
It is super rare that I get a shock and aw and literally make a face and just be blown away by a song but holy crap im blown away the emotions in the lyrics and in the guitar..... jeez you can tell hes gone through some stuff. Standing ovation!
Getting me through the corona virus, crossing the river of me day at a time, beer in one hand, face mask in the other. Thanks Ben!
Thank God I found this again. Been looking forever.
Still hits just as hard as the first time I listened to it.
almost 2 million views? That makes me so happy.
I've been listening to this song for years and I just can't get enough of it!! such a master piece
WOW...i just came across this and if there was ever a song i needed to hear,this one is it,im listening to more of you,but this song here is all i need right now..thank you sir
This always finds me when I need it ....forgot about it for a few years....and now it's back....one of the best songs I've ever heard. Thank you Ben...you fukin leg end x
His voice/this entire performance is the epitome of badass
and this is what we call a true artist..looks don't make a musician staying true to yourself makes you a real artist
what's wrong with my looks ;-)
DUDE LOOKS SICK AS FUCK
Just bumped the like for my playlist, this songs a beast 👊
This song came uninvited into my Apple playlist and it's the best music I've heard in years. Possibly decades.
I think I'm going to have to go to Canada to see him play in person.
I hear you brother, loud and clear. And all of yall that resonate with this, I hear you. We ain't alone, talk to eachother. Love
I've officially been listening to this song on repeat many times for the past year and I just love it.
My best mate lived this song until the moment he died. It was something that added to his inspirations through the fight of his terminal illness. And he truly lived until his final breath.
Thank you.
New to me - and I loved it! 🙂
this song needs to be made with a full orchestra and put on some blockbuster soundtrack
This felt like an intimate concert experience. I think it has to be my favorite song now.
Thanks for sharing.
God Bless You.
I dont know why this ONLY got in my recommended todas, but it Gave me shivers, magical 👏👏
This gave me chills all over my body the entire song. This is amazing...
Commenting so everyone gets a notification and then come back to listen to this bearded man with a guitar jamming in the woods.
Holy crap!! Im just searching blues progressions and one of the best acoustic tracks i ever heard comes back to me after a decade of not hearing it😭 I will never forget you again
I went down to the river
Flowing out onto the sea
On my way to the ocean
Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got 9 kinds of trouble
I’m just trying to find my way home
Oh 20 some years of living
And a thousand wasted days
I have loved a lot of women
Many times I’ve gone wrong ways
And I came down to the water
For a dip to cleanse my soul
They keep telling me that I’m just a babe
But baby why do I feel so old
This is the verge of a breakthrough
It’s a fine line that cannot be bent
And I felt like a river run dry
But I don’t know where all the rainwater went
And I believed we were all dead or dying
But I see different in the blue light
There is no such thing as a dawn or dusk
It’s daylight until it is night
You gotta fight through the dimming
You gotta run into the wind
You gotta rage against the dying of the light
Live for the moment that’s left
You gotta fight against the dimming
You gotta run into the wind
You gotta rage against the dying of the light
Live for the moment that’s left
Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
We are alive till the moment we’re dead
A drowning man is just a living man
Who hasn’t run out of his last bit of breath
I went down to the river
Flowing out onto the sea
On my way to the ocean
Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got 9 kinds of trouble
I’m just trying to find my way home
find my way home
find my way home
find my way home
Whenever life knocks me down sometimes this song helps me to get back up and keep going. Thank you Ben.
