Really cool to see a fellow Australian getting respect from American's in this genre. Sometimes I feel starved of quality blues in Australia, but this man is filling the gaps.
He said, "Take one," Id say, one take was all he needed. Lol Never heard of him till a couple months ago, but he's good, and this dong sticks with you. Thats why im back here making this comment. Cause i had to get this song on my play list. Thanks for posting this song
"Someone help me understand what it is to be content cuz I don't understand what that word even means" Well God damn, thank you for giving voice to that thought 💓
Love Kyle Brew. Been diving deep into all his albums. Happy to see his growth and that he made it on Gems despite not championing first place. He's in my top 10 gems artists.
I felt such a strong earge to gatekeep this song. I've listened to it on repeat for weeks now. Might be my favorite song ever rn. Absolutely love it man KEEP IT COMING
I’m never surprised, but always amazed at y’all’s ability to pick the right songs and such amazing renditions, all shot and recorded so well 🙌 This one’s an instant classic!
This is absolutely a beautiful masterpiece don’t ever change Kyle brew you are an amazing soul and your voice speaks that. When you can see that through your music that you’re not a fraud that speaks more than anything else. Thank you sir. From Akron ohio
Wow man.. Absolutely killer. The structure the strum pattern, the picking part, it was all flawless. I love this acoustic version but I can hear all kinds of horns and keys on this bad boy too.. Hope it stays in your repertoire man, quite a tune.
@@GemsOnVHS Good to hear it! Gis a shout next time you come to Ireland man, I won't even get ya lost the first night like those mad wallopers did! (I probably will though, as I'm sure you know time is quite fluid over this way!) keep up the great work man.
It's such a privilege to see Kyle grow into the artist he is today. Even though I am not the same person I was back during the times I listened to his music on repeat I still love the memories I have (and am) making with his tunes. Glad to see you again brother, hearing this banger makes me want to come out of musical retirement. Cheers everyone!
Ever since I heard this song two years ago I have been thinking of getting a tattoo of the line "Oh, I'm so done Of being on the run From my own head" It's a very good line that I feel like fitting to me as a person, one day I'll get that tattoo.
Lovely, like his way of playing a lot, really smooth! Chords and lyrics below folks, have fun! Half step down tuning, Capo on 2 in the original, you can play it in standard with Capo on 1 as well though The F is played as a cowboy chord without Barree (13321x), the G in F shape 2 frets up (35543x) Verses C / C F C / F G / G C (+C7 in Verse 2 & 4) Chorus F F# / G C C7 / F / G C C7 / F / G / C E7 Am D7 / F G C (+C7 in 2nd Chorus) Interlude C / C / F G C (+C7 in 2nd Interlude) Bridge F / G C C7 / F / G C C7 / F G / C E7 Am D7 / F G C Outro F G / C E7 Am D7 / F G / F G / F D7 G F# F C [Verse 1] Someone help me understand What it is we're doing here What it means to be content cause I don't understand What that word even means [Verse 2] Well, am I the child of God? Or the dust of ancient stars Is it real or is it worse, a blessing or a curse Floating helpless through the universe [Chorus] If this is really God's plan I think they oughta make a new one For all the pain and suffering it brings The hunger and the killing and the greed And all the trouble I've given myself Sitting around Waiting for something to care about Oh this existential stress will surely be the end of me [Interlude] [Verse 3] Well to be or to become Be the finger or the gun Or the bullet slicing through the ideas of the truth Polarizing me and you [Verse 4] Now the poison's in my dreams Take away my will to be Sure it's a miracle to breathe but the choice is ours to see The damage and the misery [Chorus] If this is really God's plan I think they oughta make a new one For all the pain and suffering it brings The hunger and the killing and the greed And all the trouble I've given myself Sitting around Waiting for something to care about Oh this existential stress will surely be the end of me [Bridge] Oh I'm so tired Of being scared and wired and unslept Oh I'm so done Of being on the run from my own head Oh, whatever it is that put us here Really did a number on us all Mmmmh, this existential stress will surely be the reason I fall [Interlude] [Outro] Yeah all this trouble's like a fingerprint, thumb on my neck Choking rare moments of happiness Yeah this existential stress will surely be the end This existential stress will likely be end This existential stress will surely be the end of me
Judging it all off based on that, before it even kicks off/ giving it a chance. Ugh. the irony. Regardless, I can’t stop hitting repeat. Absolute beauty!! ❤
This song would’ve been nice to hear way earlier this year. I felt the exact same way and coulda used someone puttin it down like this. My song that I submitted to yuns was meant to be optimistic haha

Holy shit, this is a masterpiece. If there was ever a song written for our generations struggle with religion, it was this one.
I completely agree
this is a masterpiece for an underrated musician. It's brilliant and perfectly performed
Really cool to see a fellow Australian getting respect from American's in this genre. Sometimes I feel starved of quality blues in Australia, but this man is filling the gaps.
i love that
Australia has some of the best punk and pub rock in the world right now. Never thought of looking into Aussie folk
Love kyles style and sound. Just a rad artist all around.
100%

Holy FUCK. This guys music is incredible . ❤ Gems on VHS for putting me on to countless amazing artists 🎉
These lyrics tho. "I'm so done from being on the run from my own head." Feeling that. Thanks for this
He said, "Take one,"
Id say, one take was all he needed. Lol
Never heard of him till a couple months ago, but he's good, and this dong sticks with you. Thats why im back here making this comment. Cause i had to get this song on my play list.

thanks buddy, have you seen the other ones from australia yet?
@@GemsOnVHS I just rewatched a couple, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them all. There’s some real talent down under!
So happy to have found an Aussie legend in this genre.. fkn oath Kyle!
Killer song love that chorus and excellent lyricism. Love VHS recording makes the scene around him seem much warmer and lived in.
I found this guy a little bit ago independent of Gems, and I’m glad to see his work end up here.
Quite literally my definition of proper modern folk. Spectacular art.
wait this is only 4 months old? feels like ive been listening to this song for at least a year now
only 7 months now? shit!
This is absolutely a beautiful masterpiece don’t ever change Kyle brew you are an amazing soul and your voice speaks that. When you can see that through your music that you’re not a fraud that speaks more than anything else.

Great song, the one bit sounds a little like "hit the ground running". Love this song

i'm sure he will be making an epic version on a recording soon ... rumor has it hes releasing a new album soon

Music never gets old nor my mind when it runs everlasting thru my head
I also barely found this gem and boy,what a masterpiece!!
It's such a privilege to see Kyle grow into the artist he is today. Even though I am not the same person I was back during the times I listened to his music on repeat I still love the memories I have (and am) making with his tunes.

Yeah, i've come to enjoy everything he releases, and hes self released quite a few things now. They're all bangers.
Beautiful
This is really awesome. I can't even remember the last song I listened to on repeat a hundred times after discovering it. Amazing!!
This song is amazing, His voice too. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
If I could hit the like button more than once it would be on this song
Love this one! Kyle’s got great style can’t wait to hear more
Great one! Awesome! Woohoo!
yo this jam stopped me in my non tracks . amazing
Direct and correct.
This guys so great!!!
Ever since I heard this song two years ago I have been thinking of getting a tattoo of the line
"Oh, I'm so done
Of being on the run
From my own head"
It's a very good line that I feel like fitting to me as a person, one day I'll get that tattoo.
Really dig this. Something new for my collection.
Wow ! The old and new collide with a twist of blues . Wonderfully done !
So much soul! Gonna be in my playlist all week! Ooowee
Love his guitar playing.
this song is really well written imo. love it.
After you hear this tune, you’ll never forget this guys name
Amazing dude!
This is probably the best song ive ever heard in my life
Great voice, great lyrics, great tune. Love it.
Reminded me of Chris Gantry here and there. But so good crafting and performing that comparison is not needed. Come to Norway!
bruh, this channel is my jam and peanut butter
OMG!!! Exactly Bud thank you for these thoughts!
Heard he was having a tour in the US but I can't find any tour dates or anything.
I loveeee Kyle ❤
shoot me too
I need these songs on a vinyl record.. 🔥
My favourite artist for sure
Tears to my eyes beautiful
Another masterpiece!!
This is insane on all levels; well done Kyle
Loved it
this is really fun and awesome!
Love it Kyle!
Easily my favourite song right now 👌
whole heart
Love the groove
Just listened 4 times in a row... Going in again... Need a backup singer?
you're hired bud
@@GemsOnVHS excellent! Kyle officially has a "guy who lives on my couch" aka couch guy
Lovely, like his way of playing a lot, really smooth!
Chords and lyrics below folks, have fun!
Half step down tuning, Capo on 2 in the original, you can play it in standard with Capo on 1 as well though
The F is played as a cowboy chord without Barree (13321x), the G in F shape 2 frets up (35543x)
Verses C / C F C / F G / G C (+C7 in Verse 2 & 4)
Chorus F F# / G C C7 / F / G C C7 / F / G / C E7 Am D7 / F G C (+C7 in 2nd Chorus)
Interlude C / C / F G C (+C7 in 2nd Interlude)
Bridge F / G C C7 / F / G C C7 / F G / C E7 Am D7 / F G C
Outro F G / C E7 Am D7 / F G / F G / F D7 G F# F C
[Verse 1]
Someone help me understand
What it is we're doing here
What it means to be content cause I don't understand
What that word even means
[Verse 2]
Well, am I the child of God?
Or the dust of ancient stars
Is it real or is it worse, a blessing or a curse
Floating helpless through the universe
[Chorus]
If this is really God's plan
I think they oughta make a new one
For all the pain and suffering it brings
The hunger and the killing and the greed
And all the trouble I've given myself
Sitting around
Waiting for something to care about
Oh this existential stress will surely be the end of me
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Well to be or to become
Be the finger or the gun
Or the bullet slicing through the ideas of the truth
Polarizing me and you
[Verse 4]
Now the poison's in my dreams
Take away my will to be
Sure it's a miracle to breathe but the choice is ours to see
The damage and the misery
[Chorus]
If this is really God's plan
I think they oughta make a new one
For all the pain and suffering it brings
The hunger and the killing and the greed
And all the trouble I've given myself
Sitting around
Waiting for something to care about
Oh this existential stress will surely be the end of me
[Bridge]
Oh I'm so tired
Of being scared and wired and unslept
Oh I'm so done
Of being on the run from my own head
Oh, whatever it is that put us here
Really did a number on us all
Mmmmh, this existential stress will surely be the reason I fall
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Yeah all this trouble's like a fingerprint, thumb on my neck
Choking rare moments of happiness
Yeah this existential stress will surely be the end
This existential stress will likely be end
This existential stress will surely be the end of me
Thanks man!!
A
Yes…. This is the comment I was looking for 🤣 mega thanks and cheers to you, mate 🤙🏻🍻
This is so good!
Nicely done sir
Hot damn, shared this with a few already and so far, they’re all hung up on the “Drake” reference thinking what was said was, “Drag song.”
Judging it all off based on that, before it even kicks off/ giving it a chance. Ugh. the irony. Regardless, I can’t stop hitting repeat. Absolute beauty!! ❤
just wow!! love it!!!

Love it!
Such a writer....
amazing
Damn son!
F-ing brilliant!!!
That was really cool 😊
Great tune.
So sick
Yes. Yes. Yes. This is a good one.
Great song
Another good one
You could make a hatful of change near the gum wall anytime 😮
Legend, nice one Kyle

I feel you brother!

This is incredible hahahahaah
I have an idea for a tv show and if I were a writer of tv shows I would definitely use this as the credits roll.
This song would’ve been nice to hear way earlier this year. I felt the exact same way and coulda used someone puttin it down like this. My song that I submitted to yuns was meant to be optimistic haha
Gotta quit smoking mate! Me too... In contemplation myself...
Same
