This is where you separate the adults from the kids. The true artist from the autotune, acoustic version with performer and guitar. His two Charlie Rose performances of all around you and this one are flawless. This is what you call top level talent.
Being a live TV recording, there would still be an engineer, and it’s entirely possible there is still pitch correction. Not saying he needs it, but it might just be part of the engineers production.
Doesn't matter. Engineer, or not. This guy is the real deal. I know there are effects with the vocals. I definitely here some echo. So this gives it away. But still. Without great performers like Sturgill. There would be no Charlie Rose as we know it today. Nor any need for audio engineers. This is a guy alone with his guitar. Give the man some credit, where it's due. Geez man.
Just lost my best friend and I would have never heard this song had he not sent it to me 2 years ago. My name is Sarah as well. I’ll forever miss him so badly. ❤
Damn...amazing!! It blows my mind how there are songs like this that never get any radio air time. I am so thankful I live in the time that I do so I can find music like this.
No idea how many times I’ve revisited this. You know playing solo to basically no audience it would be understandable to “go through the motions”. Damn son!😳 Bring it!
I just discovered Sturgill in 2023😢. I was living in China since 2010 so a bit out of the loop. I’m now listening to this song n repeat (as well as his whole Metamodern album). He’s a revelation, a gift.
Oh Sarah, here we go again I can't get past the pain of what I want to say to you I'm too old now to learn how to let you in So I'll run away just like I always do She said if there's something I should know then tell me now Before I go and give my heart away So I can get on with my life You can go on with your strife Wish you'd speak the words those eyes are trying to say Sometimes this life feels like a big old dream I'm floating around on a cloud inside When my cloud starts coming apart at the seams Oh Sarah, that's when I slide There's going to be times that I gotta go away But don't worry baby I'll come home Out on the road is where I'm going to find my way But I'll always find the time when I'm alone So forgive me if sometimes I seem a little crazy But god damn, sometimes crazy is how I feel And my brain is starting to swirl Down the drain of this old world And there's only one thing girl I know is real It's the love that I feel in your arms It's the glow you wear around you like a charm It's the tender in your eyes That keeps me safe and warm at night From this life Oh oh Sometimes this life feels like a big old dream I'm floating around on a cloud inside When my cloud starts coming apart at the seams Oh Sarah, that's when I slide
Best song ever written..and this is the best version of it.. absolutely hands down , my favorite of billions of songs. "so forgive me if sometimes i seem a little crazy, but God damn,..sometimes crazy is how i feel."
I saw Simpson on Rose's show today. Love the raspy, rich quality of his voice. Now that Dylan has broken ground in Sweden, who knows who could be next for the Nobel Prize -- maybe a few years down the road!
My goodness, this is out of this world - an entire story set into a 3 minute song. The feel and emotion he drives into this in the live version is unmatched! Love this part: And there's only one thing girl I know is real It's the love that I feel in your arms It's the glow you wear around you like a charm It's the tender in your eyes That keeps me safe and warm at night From this life
@@michaeldlindeman9600 I hated SOUND and FURY. It was as though it was a complete 'F.U' to everyone and everything. If you need therapy, see a therapist, but don't single handedly put all your issues into an album purely intended to alienate everyone. But then again, maybe he needed to go there, to realise he wants back in. All I know is he has an incredible album, all he needs is a guitar, his legendary voice, and he will have the best album.
@@jaymaxx3910 nah. I love all of sturgills stuff and sound and fury is great. Sturgill Is not the second coming of waylon, and to his own admission is not even strictly a country artist. You'd better get used to being let down, because the dude doesn't make the same record twice anyway. Anyway, learn to like more than one genre of music! There's lots of great country, but rock is good too and S&F is a great rock album. Tracks like "ronin" and "all said and done" could easily be on Dark Side of the Moon.
Wait....75 people gave this a thumbs down? They must be in a dark sad place. Because this is an absolute masterpiece of a track. Like many others of Mr. Simpson’s.
The most beautiful and real song I've ever heard in 42 years. I've gone through alot of "Sarah's", but not one I would say these words to yet. Just haven't found her...yet. Still time
Wow, i remember watching this live.....Thinking he will be huge, then I watched as he did the right thing and remained a top 10 ALL TIME GREAT without selling out like some..
Such a gifted artist, saw him on tonight show then on Charlie Rose. I was impressed bought and listened to his album sailors guide to earth, still impressed. great music that transcends any genre.
Sarah Larson sorry for your loss. Sturgill helped me through hard times also. His other Charlie Rose video of the song All Around You is a masterpiece also.
So forgive me if sometimes I seem a little crazy!!! But Goddamn!! Sometimes sometimes crazy is how I feel💪💪💪🤯🤯🤯 hell yea. I love sturgill. This is the first time I've heard this song. I'll be playing it all night now
OMG! wow this song is beautiful, i bet sarah comes to tears each time she listens! sturgill you are amazing and next to every good man is a Sarah! Beautiful.
Baddest man in all of music. Not country (which he is. and is a damn good send) but any genre. Who the fuck is Sturgill Simpson? This crazy ass talented guy right here!
Wish Sturgill could get the chance to play the Super Bowl. More of this world needs his music. Been my favorite artist for years, country, bluegrass, don't matter. SS is a fkn force
I hope they play "Just Let Go" when I head to the Bardo. Sturgill keep writing...don't go to Hollywood. Your on the path that's meant for you....and you help thousands of people...one day your words will help millions+++.
I am not sure why country music has not clamored to honor this guy, who for me is the hoped-for preservation of country music without the pendantic repetition of music from a bygone era. In other words, he re-creates a new country, if you will, that is as good and better even than the past so-called glory years. I hear a little George Jones here, a little of Waylon, some Merle Haggard, and a few long-forgotten country voices. You can be sure I will listen to this guys whenever he makes records.
Sturgill Simpson has saved my life a few times. A Sailor's Guide to Earth speaks to me on so many levels. This song in particular, his raw admission "so forgive me if sometimes I seem a little crazy. well God damn, sometime's crazy''s how I feel" is more vulnerable than any modern song in country crooning over heartbreak. My family comes from the same part of Kentucky as Sturgill, so maybe this music is just in my veins, but it touches me deeply.
Thought he might fade somewhat with Atlantic, ( steal his real so to speak ). But this felt performance renewed my faith that Sturgill is still there . PHENOMENAL !!!!!!!!
The real thing people . Don't happen to often these days . We are lucky it came around in our lifetime . All good. Thanks Sturgill for something real .
i discovered Sturgill Simpson a little over a year ago. so glad i did. my metal friends ridicule and belittle country music, saying it's for simple minded folks. they have no idea. there's a lot more to life and music than being heavy and thinking you're better than others. if only they would give ppl like Sturgill or Billy Strings a chance, they'd realize that they come from a heavy metal background and can give any of those rock guitarists a run for their money.
crazy thing is. if he spends more than ten minutes on a song he throws it away. between him and Jason Isbell it's a toss up for pure lyrical talent in this day.
Jody Highroller My opinion, Jason lyrically, but Band an emotionally Sturgill. Elephant might be one of the best songs ever written. Both of my top 2. Thank you for knowing music and keep pushing friends, family, and people that like music their way. The will only love you but respect you for giving them sight into REAL music. Bless you!
Sturgill wins this every day for me. And not only songwriting, but also the musicianship of his band. There is nobody on Sturgill's level in music today. Probably hasn't been ever to be honest.
“So forgive if sometimes I seem a little crazy, but God D*** sometimes crazy is how feel”.
One of my favorite lyrics of all time! Thank you Sturgill
💯 those words gonna be my first tattoo across my left chest. Incredible 🤘
Absolutely especially this exact version

This is a guy alone with his guitar. Give the man some credit, where it's due. Geez man.
@@kitesonmarsthebandI’ve seen him live in a bar before anyone hardly knew his name. This is all him, he’s really THAT good.
100 fuckin percent
@@rbbeactheres still clearly vocal processing going on
Just lost my best friend and I would have never heard this song had he not sent it to me 2 years ago. My name is Sarah as well. I’ll forever miss him so badly. ❤
So sorry for your loss. This song reminds me of a lost love as well. And I'm grateful for this poetry that is eloquent enough to express my feelings.
@@andreajohnson1212If you haven't heard it already, check out I Don't Mind by Sturgill. An incredible song about losing a loved one.
Heartbreakingly beautiful. He is an absolute master of lyrics, emotion, and sound. Nothing but respect and admiration of his work
couldn't agree more..........man is a guiesness............................or what I tried to say lol
chad S
Nicely said friend.... (heartbreaking beautiful.... perfect words)
“She said if there’s something I should know tell me now…” Haunting and real for those of us troubled.
I know sometimes I get a little crazy, but God damn sometimes crazy’s how I feel. That line hits me so personally that I could swear he read my mind.
Damn...amazing!! It blows my mind how there are songs like this that never get any radio air time. I am so thankful I live in the time that I do so I can find music like this.
This is the best recording of this song. This guy is something special in music.
Cutting Grass Vol. 2: "hold my beer"
No idea how many times I’ve revisited this.
You know playing solo to basically no audience it would be understandable to “go through the motions”. Damn son!😳 Bring it!
Can’t stop listening to it. Playing it over and over again in 2022…
I just discovered Sturgill in 2023😢. I was living in China since 2010 so a bit out of the loop. I’m now listening to this song n repeat (as well as his whole Metamodern album). He’s a revelation, a gift.
This is one of the most brilliant, beautiful songs I've ever heard.
A legend … music not made for everyone but a brilliant mind for those who love it. This is the best
Dammit, this might just be the best song on TH-cam
It touches my heart every time I listen to this song, excellent.
"So i can go on with my life, you can go on with your strife"
Wow i choked up a little.. beautiful
Been a few years since i heard this man sing and play...my life is forever different because of it
Since i first heard....sorry
Amazing... really wish I could hear that fingerpicking in all of his songs. super underrated player
its APPALACHIAN FLAT PICKING, NOT FINGERS!!! k.
Luke Roush I love watching him play guitar. Breathtaking
There's music, and then there are masterpieces like this that are in another league. I can't stop listening to this every day.
I swear my copy of this album must’ve come with some invisible chef cutting onions right by my eyes...
Damn,
This man can play and sing! I don't think this about most in the music business but this man is a true credit to his profession.
This man is an old soul , God bless tunes like these ! My son turned me on to him . Thanks Graham !!
Sturgill we as fans enjoy your gifts you have bestowed upon us. Please never stop.
Hey Sturgill, your not King Turd on Shit Mountain anymore. Thankful for such talent. Amazing..
I like being king turd on shit mountain. Sturgill gives me hope. My dog’s name is Sturgill.
Oh Sarah, here we go again
I can't get past the pain of what I want to say to you
I'm too old now to learn how to let you in
So I'll run away just like I always do
She said if there's something I should know then tell me now
Before I go and give my heart away
So I can get on with my life
You can go on with your strife
Wish you'd speak the words those eyes are trying to say
Sometimes this life feels like a big old dream
I'm floating around on a cloud inside
When my cloud starts coming apart at the seams
Oh Sarah, that's when I slide
There's going to be times that I gotta go away
But don't worry baby I'll come home
Out on the road is where I'm going to find my way
But I'll always find the time when I'm alone
So forgive me if sometimes I seem a little crazy
But god damn, sometimes crazy is how I feel
And my brain is starting to swirl
Down the drain of this old world
And there's only one thing girl I know is real
It's the love that I feel in your arms
It's the glow you wear around you like a charm
It's the tender in your eyes
That keeps me safe and warm at night
From this life
Oh oh
Sometimes this life feels like a big old dream
I'm floating around on a cloud inside
When my cloud starts coming apart at the seams
Oh Sarah, that's when I slide
NastyyNas94 ❤️❤️❤️
You both guys are an example of love, you both are admirable.
Crazy how I feel my brain start s to swirl around this big ol world
Tugging on the Ole Heart Strings with this beauty Sturgill, Thanks for this Masterpiece of an Album...USRT23 Country Music Podcast
Best song ever written..and this is the best version of it.. absolutely hands down , my favorite of billions of songs. "so forgive me if sometimes i seem a little crazy, but God damn,..sometimes crazy is how i feel."
I saw Simpson on Rose's show today. Love the raspy, rich quality of his voice. Now that Dylan has broken ground in Sweden, who knows who could be next for the Nobel Prize -- maybe a few years down the road!
I need this version available for download. It blows the studio version out of the water
Same.
This is a real artist full of emotion and amazing sound.
simply one of the best songs in every way
George Jones(rip) said who's gonna fill their shoes. I think this Kentucky boy is asking for the next size up. Gorgeous song and presentation...
Matthew Logsdon As is Tyler Childers,one of a kind
And Chris stapleton
help me fight the good fight for the sake of the art! TH-cam search USRT23 tyler
And Jamey Johnson
He had a shot for a minute. He was so good back then
My goodness, this is out of this world - an entire story set into a 3 minute song. The feel and emotion he drives into this in the live version is unmatched!
Love this part:
And there's only one thing girl I know is real
It's the love that I feel in your arms
It's the glow you wear around you like a charm
It's the tender in your eyes
That keeps me safe and warm at night
From this life
Sturgill please keep this up. You are so talented and loved by so many.
Think I heard a couple months ago that his vocal chords were damaged or something along those lines, and he couldn’t perform for some time
@alexwhittington4833 he just played a festivals in cancun with the grateful dead so hopefully he comes back with music or tours
Please, PLEASE release a live/ acoustic album.
Jay Maxx yes the studio version of this song is great but this one is amazing. I’d love to hear Sturgill do a whole album of just him and his guitar.
Amen.

just got done listening to My Cuttin' Grass Vinyl that includes this tune.... Great album/Great Tune!
He has such a unique voice. So much soul
That is some powerful, heartfelt writing, singing and playing.... Nailed it.... Outstanding MAN!!
This song made me fall in love with Sturgill's music.
Perfect. I don't see how it could be any better.
The most beautiful and real song I've ever heard in 42 years. I've gone through alot of "Sarah's", but not one I would say these words to yet. Just haven't found her...yet. Still time
good Lord, this guy amazes me every time..
Wow, i remember watching this live.....Thinking he will be huge, then I watched as he did the right thing and remained a top 10 ALL TIME GREAT without selling out like some..
JUST AN UNDERRATED, WOW! What an old soul. Don't conform! Thank you for keeping music alive.
Holy hell. This is absolutely beautiful.
Such a gifted artist, saw him on tonight show then on Charlie Rose. I was impressed bought and listened to his album sailors guide to earth, still impressed. great music that transcends any genre.
Check out Meta Modern sounds in country music. His best album.
CG 1 check out Sunday Valley
These stripped down versions are always so much better than the studio versions.
All Sturgill songs are the best when he does them live and by himself and a guitar.
This song gives me the feels every time.
It's been on many days in many ways: Sturgill is the TRUTH!!!!
Sturgill's new album is a masterpiece, but I MUCH prefer these acoustic versions. The guy is just too good with his voice and a guitar.
Yup....that is a superstar that doesn't get the recognition he deserves....looking forward to sound and fury
if this song doesn't make you feel something then you are dead
facts
This cat is truly gifted........
HE'S BACK!!!!!!
Beautiful is this
jacnbcc unbelievable performance by this guy. perfect in my opinion.
jacnbcc if you think this is beautiful listen to Caroline by colter wall it's such a good song and all the rest of his music is great
jacnbcc l CV
jacnbcc this is beautiful.
Approve of your comment, Yoda does.
thank you for your wonderful song*✌💋🖤
I'm Sarah! Just buried my 20 year-old son from canser.. Thank you so much for this song!💖😇😘🙏
Sarah Larson sorry for your loss. Sturgill helped me through hard times also. His other Charlie Rose video of the song All Around You is a masterpiece also.
We put our dog down Wednesday I know that's not in the same league, but this song has been on repeat for me since then.
Beautiful ❤
This is talent folks.
this song got me in my feels
This song has saved my life a few times I don’t want to get into it but just know it has…
Same brotha and still does
Forgive us if sometimes we seem alittle crazy but gdamn sometimes crazy’s how we feel 🎶 ❤☔️
This still gives me chills in 2019
Same, 2023.
Shivers....
Could listen to Sturgill 24/7/365
Great stuff. Really dig it.
this is beautiful
HANDS DOWN.. STURGILL IS MY ALLLL TIME FAVORITE
Damn it Sturgill this is what you are meant to do . When you get done with the concept albums we as your fans would love more of this !
The best true country voice alive today.
They say they don't make them like this no more. They don't know Sturgill Simpson.
So forgive me if sometimes I seem a little crazy!!! But Goddamn!! Sometimes sometimes crazy is how I feel💪💪💪🤯🤯🤯 hell yea. I love sturgill. This is the first time I've heard this song. I'll be playing it all night now
nothing to compare this to, the emotion and sound take you to another place.
OMG! wow this song is beautiful, i bet sarah comes to tears each time she listens! sturgill you are amazing and next to every good man is a Sarah! Beautiful.
This is what I've been waiting for!!!
Garth was the beginning of pop/rock country.
Sturg is the resurrection of traditional pure country
Behold!
Baddest man in all of music. Not country (which he is. and is a damn good send) but any genre. Who the fuck is Sturgill Simpson? This crazy ass talented guy right here!
One of the most vulnerable, honest and touching love songs. Sturgill loves Sarah, no doubt about it.
susie holycross
You phrased it beautifully
I on the other hand ..am at a loss for words on this song
Thank you for this ! Simple thank you ! Let loose
Wish Sturgill could get the chance to play the Super Bowl. More of this world needs his music. Been my favorite artist for years, country, bluegrass, don't matter. SS is a fkn force
This song is beautiful! It has me teared up.
Wife's name is Sarahi. Still sarah. But man this man is a true musician. Speaks to my soul!
I hope they play "Just Let Go" when I head to the Bardo. Sturgill keep writing...don't go to Hollywood. Your on the path that's meant for you....and you help thousands of people...one day your words will help millions+++.
This is just brilliant
This song hits home.
Love his music he is awesome
I am not sure why country music has not clamored to honor this guy, who for me is the hoped-for preservation of country music without the pendantic repetition of music from a bygone era. In other words, he re-creates a new country, if you will, that is as good and better even than the past so-called glory years. I hear a little George Jones here, a little of Waylon, some Merle Haggard, and a few long-forgotten country voices. You can be sure I will listen to this guys whenever he makes records.
He won a Grammy for country album of the year, and wasnt invited to the CMA's.
Sturgill Simpson has saved my life a few times. A Sailor's Guide to Earth speaks to me on so many levels.

3:00 to the end is probably the prettiest thing I have ever heard
Hope he comes back to the Paramount Theater in Oakland, CA. He packed the place last November.
Listening to this all 2025🎉
The real thing people . Don't happen to often these days . We are lucky it came around in our lifetime . All good. Thanks Sturgill for something real .
I love this song. It’s just one of those songs where you can’t help but tap your foot and want to sing along
Just a beast move. I can’t quantify how
Good this is
Why did he ever stop making country. He could have had it all. Hope to see him. Come back to this side of him
Check out his latest performance! All for a great cause too! th-cam.com/video/kO73im4J2sU/w-d-xo.html
R U kidding me? Why listen to anything else? Best in a very long time.

Give Tyler Childers and his band The Food Stamps a good listen to.

props to Sturgill and the sound guy! SOUNDSGREAT!
hey sturgil! Glasgow luvs ye baby! get back here & give us your brilliance
