My friend and I always say this little town we came to is our "Boston", because of this song... I always like to hear acoustic versions of my favorite songs and I was impressed by by this one...love it!
This is amazing... Dan is awesome. I'll never get enough of his kinda Willie Nelson kinda Bob Dylan tone of voice. I'll never get enough of this song...
Dan Laynus is a comer man. I'm a Boomer, and witnessed the rise of Bruce Springsteen. Jackson Brown, and others. Dan and Augustana are becoming the" new American band" The songwriting is becoming great and still growing. There are few like these guys. Stay with em' I plan to.
In the light of the sun Is there anyone? Oh, it has begun Oh, dear, you look so lost Your eyes are red when tears are shed The world you must have crossed, you said You don't know me, you don't even care Oh yeah, you said You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains Oh yeah Essential yet appealed Carry all your thoughts Across an open field When flowers gaze at you They're not the only ones Who cry when they see you You said You don't know me, and you don't even care Oh yeah, you said You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains Oh yeah She said, I think I'm going to Boston I think I'll start a new life I think I'll start it over Where no one knows my name I'll get out of California I'm tired of the weather I think I'll get a lover I'll fly 'em out to Spain I think I'll go to Boston I think that I was tired I think I need a new town To leave this all behind I think I need a sunrise I'm tired of a sunset Here it's nice in the summer Some snow would be nice, oh yeah You don't know me, and you don't even care Oh yeah Boston Where no one knows my name No one knows my name No one knows my name Boston Where no one knows my name
yes , indeed...about the lyrics, whats your opinion:::: I feel like it fits me, that peple think they know me somehow , some because know me for ages, some because think my way of behaving can tell about who I am, or determine the way I think or even, can you believe that one FEEL!!! but theres a song, well Im a song addicted, among other passions of mine, of a national artist of my Country that on it he sings also a part ;;; you dont know me, dont you ever get to know me, you dont know at all ....feel so lonely.....!! weel as I started this converstation , since you wrote to feel the way I do when I listen to it, PURE EMOTIONS.... so back to the topic, do u feel like I do, that much people around me dont really get me, even thought they look and act as IF SO :::::>>>
I appreciate he's changing his style of singing as he grows older which is perfectly normal and still amazing. But I still absolutely love this version - I was a bit worried he would choose not to hit the high notes but I wasn't left disappointed. :]
That's my first thought. When I first saw the video of Boston years past I thought that it sounded new punk rock, now it sounds very country, but very good nonetheless. Sings from the heart.
man i guess he just got older... and this is how his voice changed. im not dissing him in any way. Dan is an amazing singer. but i felt like he was more passionate with the way he used to sing. He was special in that way he could have a controlled shaky voice if that makes sense. But none the less this is still a flawless performance.
@delaneyg94 Yeah I do but he is of course changing his voice here on purpose. I love his country voice but for this song I like the orignal childish voice which I know he possesses.
I like the Bob Dylan influence on this song. This is how Bob could have sounded had he tried to perfect his voice. Instead he perfected the art of songwriting, and that's why he had so many hits! Augustana -sadly enough- will always be remebered for this, and this alone. But what a beautiful song!
@Knuckles102 I bet he can still do that if he wants do so. I think it's more about what he wants his music to be cuz his respected singers are Bob Dylan and other country singers.
I guess it's alla about adapting to the instruments and feelings but why has he changed his voice into a country like tone? It's cool but I still want his original voice back.
Before he sounded like Dan Laynus, now he sounds like Bob Dylan. New voice is great, but I prefer that he sounds like himself, and not someone else. Still an amazing song.
you dont need to be in love or be sad to enjoy this beautiful song.
Or both?
My favorite tune from Augustana. It was in a dream I had, I guess that means this song stays forever.
Well done. Great tune.
Wonderful. Brings back very painful times, and still wonderful.
My friend and I always say this little town we came to is our "Boston", because of this song... I always like to hear acoustic versions of my favorite songs and I was impressed by by this one...love it!
This is amazing... Dan is awesome. I'll never get enough of his kinda Willie Nelson kinda Bob Dylan tone of voice. I'll never get enough of this song...
What a stunningly elegant version.
I am still enjoying this song so much...wow!
He has the most beautiful tone.
Wow he sounds amazing live ❤
2019 still listening..
Augustana is one of the best! I love their songs! 😭😭😭
me too!
Itong kantang 'to ang may malalim na pinaghuhugotan.
He has such a beautiful voice. I could listen to him all day!
This song makes me cry every time I hear it.

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone?
Oh, it has begun
Oh, dear, you look so lost
Your eyes are red when tears are shed
The world you must have crossed, you said
You don't know me, you don't even care
Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you
You said
You don't know me, and you don't even care
Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
She said, I think I'm going to Boston
I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover
I'll fly 'em out to Spain
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I was tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of a sunset
Here it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice, oh yeah
You don't know me, and you don't even care
Oh yeah
Boston
Where no one knows my name
No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Boston
Where no one knows my name
This might be my favorite version of any of their songs, live, acoustic, or not
Such a great song i just heared 2 days ago. Hope he will sing this song forever.
Still sounds so good… still so moving

this song touches me so much....
Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️🌹🌹

Pure talent.
Piano sounds wrong. Needs to be covered in waves.
Lol
Yuri Rudnev -- I can’t stop laughing...this made my day

Pure emotions

not a biggie if u dont feel like chating or sharing about that, specially here wide open and public 😉😉😉✌✌✌✌
Flawless. Absolutely beautiful..Wow. I love you Augustana. So much.
Omg live sounds so good
I love that guitar
I appreciate he's changing his style of singing as he grows older which is perfectly normal and still amazing. But I still absolutely love this version - I was a bit worried he would choose not to hit the high notes but I wasn't left disappointed. :]
ohmygosssh flawless. lovelovelove
I like this version a lot
awesome
Music for the soul
Nice version!
SO NICE !!
💔💔 شكرا 😢
soothing sound
정말 좋아요....
Nailed it!
finally i saw the band behind this song - the piano by david so cool! i really love the melody do relaxing :)
amazing. so much better than the original, and I love the original!!
Excellent...that's all I can say...that's all that can be said.
Private session are always the best...
he sounds a little like Willie Nelson
That's my first thought. When I first saw the video of Boston years past I thought that it sounded new punk rock, now it sounds very country, but very good nonetheless. Sings from the heart.
also, this is just sung in a different mood... a much more intimate feel - appropriate for the smaller room, I think (and an acoustic guitar)
Very talented
watching this in dec 2023.❤❤❤
man i guess he just got older... and this is how his voice changed. im not dissing him in any way. Dan is an amazing singer. but i felt like he was more passionate with the way he used to sing. He was special in that way he could have a controlled shaky voice if that makes sense. But none the less this is still a flawless performance.
Killed it tonight.. in front of 60,000 opening up for One Direction in Detroit... great job Dan!
he opened for one direction?
winter ramos lol.. Yeah pretty funny.. But true.. At Ford Field..
+Mark Demers I guess he's doing his thing as a solo artist!! 60k ppl...that's not peanuts. Did the crowd enjoy his songs??
Wow, he sure can sing.👍
@delaneyg94 Yeah I do but he is of course changing his voice here on purpose. I love his country voice but for this song I like the orignal childish voice which I know he possesses.
My child will be named Augustana..
Completely different than the original version...interesting. But I still love it of course. It's Boston! :)
素晴らしい。 感動です。
@SphereProd he's always been alt country at heart. and also age changes a voice.. you realize he was only 19 or 20 when this song first blew up?
I like the Bob Dylan influence on this song. This is how Bob could have sounded had he tried to perfect his voice. Instead he perfected the art of songwriting, and that's why he had so many hits! Augustana -sadly enough- will always be remebered for this, and this alone. But what a beautiful song!
I think it's a piano. I remember my school has a Augustana grand
i really love this song.......but does anyone know what augustana mean? i wanna know that
Its the pedal guitar...Nice
POV you love this song cause ur from Boston and ur parents used to vigorously sing this shit in the car lol
@Knuckles102 I bet he can still do that if he wants do so. I think it's more about what he wants his music to be cuz his respected singers are Bob Dylan and other country singers.
thank you......maybe augustana means a guitar brand or model?
and pop songs have million views
lol big surprise !! what u expected::: lol If I had the stomach I would check KPOP views but I dont even wanna waste time doing that afff lol
What's funny is when this came out it WAS what was on the "pop" mainstream stations....lol damn devil
what's the instrument played by the leftmost guy?
Pedal lap steel guitar
B-strong

Way better than the original. Love the originality.
Not sure on that.
The most beautiful song in the world brought to you by:.... Volkswagon
🤫🤫🤫🤫❤
I really identify with this song.
So much better than the studio version
I miss the original.
Dan Layus is the original voice.
Even better than original. Kudos
Signifikant
Is this his real voice?
lol
This sounds different than the studio version, in a good way
I like both the original and this..
But vocally this better
Emotionally the original
that one dislike was cuz someone saw 123 likes and didn't want to ruin it
Why do these guys look so poor? I bought all their albums. You would think that would have at least paid for a new jacket.
Don't see anything wrong with the style of their clothes tbh
did you buy their first album "midwest skies and sleepless mondays"?
Justin Ross 😂😂😂
Justin Ross Lmfao 2X
lmfao!!
I guess it's alla about adapting to the instruments and feelings but why has he changed his voice into a country like tone? It's cool but I still want his original voice back.
Im here for scrubs. Thank you.
Before he sounded like Dan Laynus, now he sounds like Bob Dylan. New voice is great, but I prefer that he sounds like himself, and not someone else. Still an amazing song.
johnny depp
mixed with young bob dylan
johnny, johnny, johnny DEPP!DEPP!DEPP! JOHNNY DEPP!
Jack Sparrow, Spiderman & Vision??
Nope. Still Dan "The Man" Layus. :)
tbh he looks better than jd
My boi Ashton Kutcher is such a good singer!
The dude on the piano looks like spiderman.
James Garfield
jeji000 g
You mean Tom Garfield
😂😂😂😂😂
lol crackin up here
His voice reminds me of better version of Bob Dylan.......I think its the way he sorta whin's and the way he pronounces words and phrases.....
When that pitiful, pathetic feeling gets the best of you, this is what it sounds like.
This is 111 times better than the studio version.
