Lyrics
Words have come from men and mouths
But I can't help thinking that I've heard the wrong crowd
When all the water is gone my job will be too
And I'm trying to leave something behind
Money is free but love costs more than our bread
And the ceiling is hard to reach
Oh the future ahead is broken and red
But I'm trying to leave something behind
This whole world is a foreign land
We swallow the moon but we don't know our own hand
We're running with the case but we ain't got the gold
Yet we're trying to leave something behind
My friends I believe we are at the wrong fight
And I cannot read what I did not write
I've been to his house, but the master is gone
But I'd like to leave something behind
There is a beast who has taken my brain
You can put me to bed but you can't feel my pain
When the machine has taken the soul from the man
It's time to leave something behind
Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread
And the ceiling is hard to reach
Oh the future ahead is already dead
So I'm trying to leave something behind
I got this feeling that I'm still at the shore
And pockets don't know what it means to be poor
I can get through the wall if you give me a door
So I can leave something behind
Oh wisdom is lost in the trees somewhere
You're not going to find it in some mental gray hair
It's locked up from those who hurry ahead
And it's time to leave something behind
Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread
And the ceiling is hard to reach
When my son is a man he will know what I meant
I was just trying to leave something behind
I was just trying to leave something behind

I am a musician of 65 years who has lost his wife to cancer and now faces the same fate. I will leave a son behind. I have played hundreds if not thousands of songs in folk and rock. These are the most powerful words I have ever heard. Thank you Sean Rowe for this beautiful poetry and powerful song, it has touched my soul forever.
Sorry about the loss of your wife and that your sick now. I myself have many medical issues. I agree this song is a really powerful song. Makes you want to keep fighting. Keep fighting brother and ALWAYS stay positive that helps it definitely helps me.
I'm a lifelong musician myself without diminishing health. God bless you. Make the best of the time you have left.
Hope your well brother 🫡
God Bless You All Who Give The Gift of music to Heal our Hearts
I am so sorry for the loss of your wife, and for your own diagnosis. For the sake of your son, I hope will you keep fighting and stay as positive as possible. God Bless you and your family 💔🙏❤
Having been born with Asperger's Syndrome, The Accountant was the first movie I have seen that has put what we experience every day on public display, albeit with the usual Hollywood razzle dazzle. Still, I thank Ben Affleck for the way he portrayed the character. When I was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2006, I felt as though I'd leave life without ever seeing an honest account of who we are and what we live. I was one of six locals (a beautiful young elementary school teacher, a volunteer firefighter, a city police officer, a state wildlife officer, a co-worker in my office at the airbase and myself) who were all diagnosed with the same disease, at the same time. We all went through chemo and radiation at the same time. Of the six of us, I was the oldest. Of the six of us, I am the only one left. This is the second time I have had to deal with survivor's guilt. Why me? Why was I left? This song says it, the feeling I was left with, that I had to leave something good behind. I needed to do something to justify being the sole survivor. So I volunteer, I give, I try to understand things I never listened to before. And I would like to leave something behind. Something good.
🙏
Micheal, you have such a beautiful spirit. You have nothing to justify though, the world is simply a better place with people like you in it. Sending wishes and hugs. Be gentle with yourself, you´re doing the best you can.
Superbly written!
Thank you for sharing your struggles and blessings with us. May you continue to be blessed with the power of true vision, giving you the ability to see the path God has laid for you! Thank you
awe..
"There is only one who is good, He is God our Father in heaven" -from His Beloved son Yahushua Messiah ..seek to know God my friend to truly know good

Sean Rowe left something beautiful behind.
Great , appropriate tune

@@carolcase6395 Me, too.

Me too😢
In Dec 2017, I went to South Africa to care for my terminally ill father who had liver cancer. Over 12 days I cared for him. I walked him, showered him, fed him and hugged him tightly. On the night of his death, I helped the Congolese night nurse on her first night. Struggling to breathe it took 20 minutes for my dad to pass. Thankfully I managed to call the doctor who administered a tranquiliser to end his struggle. I saw my dad's head violently shake twice whilst my hand was on his forehead as he took his last breath. When I listen to this song it takes me back to that moment. The moment death was taking my father but how much love was in the room. I remember shouting to him "I love you dad" and him giving a small grin. After his death, I dicovered that he had kept every e-mail correspondence between his children ever written which he had carefully labelled with our names and put them in chronological order starting at the year 2000. It was his gift to us, to leave something behind that we would cherish. In all, I have 4 full folders of our messages to one another. In life, all that matters is that you live fiercely. Never be tempted to hold in high esteem that which is replicated. Time and love are all that matter. You can always make money, you can never make time. You have to be wise in how you spend your time. Life is long enough if you know how to use it. Short for those who don't. So I implore you to embrace death so that you can truly live.
Amazing story. Thanks for sharing.
I am sorry for your loss. The hole in your heart will never go away. And the hurt won't stop, you'll just get used to living differently. But I am so glad to hear that your father left something behind for you. And more than the emails, I'm sure he has left you with a lifetime of wonderful experiences and cherished memories. He has also left you. Through you and your children and your siblings and your bloodline, he will have left generations to continue the good work he did in his life. Y'all will build a thriving family, a collection of stories that will be told out over the decades and centuries. Through you, your father will be infinite and live on forever. Good luck, and God bless.
Yes...to be whole is to be one with life and one with death because they are but two sides of the same coin of consciousness. You have found much wisdom and have shared its gold, and in the end, that is all we can hope to do in our time upon this wonderful planet earth.And so, thank you for your heart's gift to this human being and humanity, and also, to the world. All gifts given from the commentary of a great song....gh.
Thanks for sharing the gold...
My son's suicide in 2016 taught me this very lesson.
I watched the accountant for a second time yesterday. I was surprised that this song came so strong to me like I was hearing it for the first time. I send me straight to my fathers final moments. Dying with cancer was hard and my father still struggled to honor his own father. He said to me "I want you to honor your legacy. I leave this family to you to provide leadership and direction" My father did not die as a man of means, but he kept his library and home office to his dying day. On his office table were 3 neck ties. I dressed him in one, gave my only brother the other one and wore the last one during his funeral.
I miss my father!
Thanks for sharing that one Mburu. powerful and i'm glad this song reached you.
@@seanrowemusic Your voice and your words are so powerful, it took an entire movie and one righteous samurai to set it up properly. I am fascinated to read Mburu's story, how his perspective had shifted. It is a testament to how music can influence us, but only with our permission, and to good songwriting, when so many recognize it. Recognition well deserved, Sean.
I wish I could.
Saw it yesterday for the second time- What a masterpiece
Bless you and your family.
I believe the accountant got many people listening to this. Nice song
The Accountant brought me here!
YUP!!! Me too, what a movie🙌
Me too!
Yep
As you reach the end of your journey, haunting lyrics…
but the lyric made me stay
The second I heard this voice singing this song, you just know when you've found something special.
Awesome Amazing talent
Amen.

@@flipper2392 Thank you, this song was so soothing. My only pick is it's too short. I wanted more!
TRUTH..........
I cannot begin to tell you how much this song means to me. I have played this a minimum of once a month for years, and will continue to do so. For various reasons, I was never married and don't have children. So for years I have asked, so what was all my hard work for? My legacy will be to leave 5 charities some funding, and some very close friends that I got to enjoy life with - that is what I will leave behind. When I pass there will be no funeral, only a party for my long-time friends. I have selected songs to be played for each stage of my life, and "To Leave Something Behind" will be the final song because it defines who I have become over my life. Thank you for this amazing gift.
Your life is not useless. I am sure you have done a lot for many people. And you will do more before you leave this world. And by the time at least one person reads your comment here you are not alone.
You are not alone, there is a purpose. Good, bad, or indifferent. We are here for the most glorious of experiences and deeper understandings. Amen
Your a good human
As a pastor I've conducted many memorial services over the years. I've always been taken back by those who stood to speak about what the deceased meant to them. Knowing the person's life and the humility they walked in, I had no doubt they would have been taken back by what others said their life had meant to them. Hero's are most often the first person to feel like they are anything but. But for others their lives had deep meaning and lasting significance. @@carlknox6802
You have left many things you don't even realize 😊..
Take good care of yourself now and please remember you are not alone.
Here via The accountant - April 5, 2024, great song Sean. 😢
Thanks for saying that my friend!
Same. This song hits the soul.
Thank you Sean 🙏
If this song doesn't stir your soul then you already are dead.
I was already dead and when i heard this song it broke me now i look forward to death he is an angel come to get me never heard a song that hit my soul like that period

Adam White I'm blaming them on my cold...

This man is a new Johnny cash, i still have hope to see good music now again! I am only 24 from Brazil.
Johnny Cash was my cousin. I didn't know him, because there was a big age gap, but I loved his music.
Logic 1 dude u know u right bro
lost my dad to covid recently and he always used to say, its not what you take when you leave this world but what you leave behind. we miss him dearly and i dedicate this song to him. rest well dad
God bless y'all

We are everyday people. Most of us are not extravagantly wealthy, there won't be streets named for us, libraries built in our honor. We leave something much more valuable than a monetary inheritance. We leave our bloodline, children, grandchildren and if Weare fortunate we may be blessed to meet our great grandchildren before we are called home. God and family are our most valuable blessings.

One of the most beautiful and life-affirming songs I have ever heard. Sean Rowe speaks for my soul.
i was a foreign soldier and it was a hard time, blood, sweat and pain, i come back a poor dog, pain and tears, now j have a little man and leave something behind, i swear never, never nobody member of my family turn a weapon against any human. when they will play war, ok, they must fight after 5 minutes it will never never an other war, thank you sean Rowe, in the past you was a soldier ? a civil can not find this words, good luck comrade
With you on that!
This has to be one of the most heart felt songs I've heard in a very long time.
Watch Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt". Last song he recorded. 💔🙏
I have told my children I want this played at my. Funeral ❤
My husband passed and we played this song for him , he loved this song 😢❤

Hermen Lomas my wife and I have been hooked on this guy for quite a while now. when he gets it right it's unavoidable!!

Wow..just beautiful..

Here after The Accountant 2023 🌷
2024**
The Accountant brings me here. Thank you. Wish all autism kids beautiful life.
Much appreciated!
🙂
This song is haunting to me. In it's own way it captures the confusion of life and the need to leave a positive imprint for the generation to follow. One of the questions that we must ask when we are old and grey "did we leave something behind to further mankind?"
I chose this Song for the funeral of my mum 2 years ago...whithout my parents I never had /have this Life I live. And I love my wife, my son, my life. So my mum left a lot behind. Thank you mum. I hope I will leave only a little bit of what my mum left behind. Than I would be happy...
❤
One of my best friends loved this guy. My friend is gone and I miss him everyday. I can't hear Sean without thinking of my friend. I cry every time I hear anything by Sean Rowe.
I shed a tear.
This is one of those songs that is an anthem to love, loss, and wanting to be remembered at the end. A masterpiece.
❤
This is one of the deepest songs I have ever heard. Thanks
Tis the deepest
Indeed... Leave the world with memories of your nicest self than of any taint by detest or anger.
Best Wishes.
Sean performed in my hometown in October, and I was blown away by his talent. Music tinged with traces of Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, and Irish singer-storytellers. It's time for him to have the fame he deserves.
The movie will help.
Gale Cady Williams exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking Cash, but that hit right on the buzzer. Still I am glad he is getting recognized for his amazing talent.
Checked his schedule and unfortunately, he isn't coming to my town anytime soon (even though its famous for its music scene).
why so negative
Exactly what i thought........cohen
Sean has definitely left something behind…a musical masterpiece
It’s amazing how many movies I finish and I’m like “ really liked the soundtrack” but after the accountant I felt compelled to research that song at the end....it just stuck with me- haunting and beautiful... can’t tell you how many times I have re watched this video... some songs just command attention
Just watched it on DVR and here for the same reason!!!
Same here grt song
Same here... in fact the moment the credits began, I cued to the song list and then the first thing I did was play the video and get the lyrics. What a voice... it talks to my soul.
from my experience, about half of the movies i watched have a good credit song
this is one of them
Honestly the voice in angelic but the lyrics compel it for us to pay attention.
I have a terminal disease that is taking over my body. When I heard this song....in my book there are no coincidences, those are just ways for God to stay anonymous....I too started to cry. !. Because it's a beautiful song by a beautiful artist I'd never heard of and 2. Besides the love I give to my family and friends, I am working on something to leave behind if I'm granted the strength to do so. Thank you Sean Rowe...and Blessings to all. Rabbi Moshe Mones
Rabbi Moshe Mones hope u be okay
Rabbi Moshe Mones I’ll be praying for you Rabbi. God bless!
Rabbi, I am not Jewish, but I will say my kind of Kaddish for you, if it comes to that. May you be blessed
Praying for you.
May the LORD bless you my friend. Stay strong and the LORD will take care of you.
I come here often ~ today I write, 2 years after. I asked my husband for songs he'd like me to play at his life celebration, we had nearly 10 months before pancan consumed his life. I never saw that he made a list, he never mentioned after my rquest, leaving such a list was painful, for both of us. I found it a month after he passed, this was the first ~ and it was his wish for his family to leave something, and he left much for many ~ Thank you, Mr. Rowe ~
@Robert O Thank you and same for you ~
My father was my mentor in every aspect of my life. But he taught me about him eventually dying and the lessons he taught me. When I am in a tree stand hunting deer he is up there with me. He always told me about walking off the concrete and into the woods. He said this is the best medicine for balancing your soul. Wise man.
God bless you.
@@Dewitt-b8n Our children have similar memories, though not hunting. We each have our special times and yes, they have left much behind for us, our loved ones. Thank you, Mikey, a very wise dad ~
@@diegocanoigraphicdesigner3228 And also for you, Diego. Thank you ~
I am unrepentantly gospel but when I heard this song at the end of the movie, I could not resist looking for it and playing it. In all the vanities of life, the mad acquisitions, the horrendous wars raging on earth, what else should men and women of good conscience do than try leave something behind to make the world a better place than we met it. Undoubtedly, Sean Rowe, should definitely stand and be counted among the greats.
12 years in combat zones and a stage 4 cancer survivor....saw the movie but stumbled on the song and live by it.
Thank you good person
Had never heard of Sean Rowe until I watched the movie. Wow what I've been missing. What a great voice, great talent.
My biggest regret was never telling my grandfather he was the greatest man I ever knew. My mom told me he thought the same about me. I guess we knew it though. Fuck I miss him
Thanks for this beautiful piece.
Very touching words, I too am guilty of that. My Grandpa was a good man who never said, "I love you," but his actions showed he loved me dearly.
I sent my grandson you're comment because he thinks im a dick where as i love him a lot 😊
I never got to tell my grandfather on my dads side how much I adored him. I was only 15 when died. But I have memories of him since I was 3. That’s what a great impact he made on me. He had no real possessions but I have his wallet. And his Tabasco can. With an article inside of it. His signature was written on it. I wish he knew. But I doubt he did. I like to think I have his funny side. I sure hope so.
My sentiments exactly. Especially the “Fuck I miss him”! That part literally has me tearing up too much right now to type anymore.
God I wish he were here with me now!
Chris caulk?
I listened to this several times and it kept reminding me of the amazing Leonard Cohen. Sean Rowe writes incredibly introspective lyrics and I think L. Cohen would be a fan.
The best line is “ I can get through the wall if you give me a door..”
I love when I really like a movie like "The Accountant"and am entertained and left feeling good about it, but as a desert am treated with a cherry on top with a great song like this.
TheSacko gruesome twosome
eddiewinehosen he spelt it correctly... You spelt it wrong goofball.
A handy way to remember it, is that the extra 's' makes it sweet, like dessert..
@@baykcd nice. For once, an informative and useful response.
Bill Yonce: In third grade, about 60 years ago, one of my classmates said that when you spell "dessert" , the two esses (ss) look like the two pieces of pie (using cursive handwriting, which used to be taught in schools) that you get for dessert after dinner. I told her that I never get two pieces of pie for dessert, but only one, so that memory aid didn't make sense to me. Yet after all these years, that's how I always remember the difference between "desert" and "dessert".
I just heard this song used in the accountant, and it compelled me to find out more about this guy. His voice and the lyrics are quite unique.
I'm here from the accountant June 30th 2024. Watched it with my dad probably one of the last films well ever watch together. Hi future David hope you have kids!
I’m dying and this song will be on the music list I leave for my only son. Casey James
The greatest adventure awaits us all
I hope that when the time comes it's peaceful
You’ll listen to it together somewhere down the road, when it’s time to meet again.
Our Heavenly Father will be waiting for you at the end of the road.God bless you and your family.
🙏🙏🙏
A song so powerful it speaks to your soul, the tears streaming down your face are your souls way of answering back.
The Accountant brought me HERE as well 3/31/24❤😊
I had listened to Sean play in Saratoga NY many years ago in a band mud funk. Hearing his voice at the end of the accountant took me back and made me smile .
ah....MUDFUNK. gone are the days but fun memories. Thanks Brian!
I'm a grown ass 50 year old man, and this song brought me to tears. Jeezus, brilliant lyrics.
Kudos to Mr. Rowe. He has penned and performed the rare case of a song that transcends many people's experience of searching for meaning, of suffering loss and the desperate need we all have - no matter our colour or faith or creed - to feel we lived a life with significance. He nails it and I am better for having heard it. Thank you sir.
Damn! That has to be one of the most beautifully written and sung songs I’ve heard
It's up there! 😍
When I heard this song I thought it was something from my childhood that I had forgotten, it was that good because they don't make them like this anymore! Good on ya for this masterpiece.
His best movie by far. NEEDS A PART 2!!! TOO GREAT OF A CHARACTER TO LEAVE IT.
Ben said they have signed on to make a pt. 2
Sometimes movies don’t need a part II though. It was a beautiful movie on it’s own
Caulk?
@@1973cableguy I hope it's true~ one of the most memorable movie characters ever, imo and would love to see him again!! 😍😍😍
Here from the accountant!!! But one day I spent up till 5am listening to this song looking at my mothers pictures and my family pictures literally for 4 hours on repeat and tears in my eyes. What a masterpiece 😍 👏 Thank you so much for this
"The Accountant" is an excellent movie....good song. I will rewatch it many times. It holds up.
What a voice, connects with the soul. I pray we all leave something behind. God bless and thank you for this great song.
I think you get it. you really get it
father family follow AS ☪️👣 ☎️
„I cannot read what I did not write…”, what a masterful set of lyrics! And an outstanding voice always remembered when heard! What a great performance, Sean! 👍🙏🏼
❤
Yes, I too discovered this song after watching The Accountant. Bet I’ve replayed this video a zillion times, and totally obsessed with the song and the message! One of my top favorite songs of all times!!!!!! ❤️
REAL MUSIC SPEAKS TO SOULS WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR IT! NO FRILLS, NO PRETTY PACKAGE, JUST RAW SIMPLE PASSION! YOUR HAUNTING MYSTIQUE IS IN WHO YOU ARE MY FRIEND DON'T EVER CHANGE THAT! BEAUTY IS FLEETING A PURE SOUL WILL LIVE FOREVER!!
Heard this song from the accountant brought me to tears that's ALL any of us want is to leave something behind, and they know we did our very best
Love his voice. His is an old voice that trying to tell you something if you would only listen. The movie deserve better from reviews who always have an axe to grind. Ben Affleck did a great job with the part, all of the actors did. This song was the cherry on top.
Reflecting on a past that shouldve been. Living a life Without. Regret for things not done. Sorrow for the things gone. Alone within. Alone without. Nothing to leave behind.
A beautiful soul thought that.
Every time I hear this .. I can't help but cry. . USMC vet ... I quess sometimes ... when we stop and listen. .. instead of screaming at each other. .. we get something beautiful like this
Wow...it wasnt till i saw the accountant last night that i heard this song for the 1st time....instant heartfelt and amazing voice...THIS HAS BEEN MY MANTRA IN LIFE...for my 3 adult sons...we have struggled...im 50 on disability and trying to build a home for them....i feel this great need to leave something behind......my partner is a singer songwriter, musician and ive listened to a lot of music over the decades and wow...this is up there with the best ever....thank you for this song
SOOOO Powerful!!! I too discovered this song at the end of The Accountant. How is this guy not at the top of several charts?? I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer last year. In her last days she was so delirious So the line " There is a beast who has taken my brain, you can put me to bed but you can't feel my pain" just hits me right in the feelers evry time I hear it. It made me cry the first time I heard the full song...still makes me cry today. We played this at her funeral....it seemed fitting. Thank you Sean for adding something beautiful to this otherwise miserable world.
My condolences for your loss of your mom. That line reminds me of my grandmothers in their last years.
When Sean Rowe sings, he tells a story. You best keep silent and listen. His music will move you in ways that make you think, think about everything in your life.
His voice is just pure gold 💯

Not at all ashamed to admit it - I cry every time I hear Mr. Rowe sing this song. I love music, am a musician myself, and in all my long years I have rarely heard such poetry, majesty and beauty delivered so powerfullly, I thank God that some of us - ceertainly not myself - have been blessed with the ability to touch so many others on many different levels. If you listen to this song and feel nothing then you are truly dead and gone.

WOW...incredible. I'm blown away with the lyrics and the voice. For all those beautiful souls who have commented...you just restore the faith in humanity.
I caught this song at the end of the movie, The Accountant, as so many others have. I looked further into the lyrics and the "New Lore" that was recorded in Memphis. Living just outside of Memphis, I hear about the talent that roles into the city and how they pour out their souls in the studios. Thanks for doing what you do, forager, songwriter, and singer.
My 80 year old grandfather asked me if this was Johny Cash as we watch The Accountant, enough said.
freeawb I thought it was Cash when I first heard it too
@@seviervillegunsandgear988 same here, very Cash like, which is a compliment to Sean Rowe.
Can't argue with grandpa there👍👍
Your grandfather is a wise man and has a good taste of music
I was just thinking this is so Johnny Cash
I can't get enough of his voice
Just finished watching the movie. I came to TH-cam to find out who sing this song. He sings this song with his heart in it. I love this song!
I just heard this song tonight by watching THE ACCOUNTANT and it broke me into tears...
And now i saved it in my playlist
It's really good.
I’m here because my father scent me this video. Today is my birthday and ever since I saw the Accountant, I always thought as though this song was meant for my father. Two years ago, to the day, my father was diagnosed with a rare brain disease. He was forced to go on disability but I thought he always hoped he’d go back to work eventually. Meanwhile I took care of him. Fast forward a few weeks, my father asks what we did for my birthday since he could not remember. It was hard but I told him the truth, we didn’t celebrate it. It was scary seeing how much he had cried that day. And last year he broke his arm, I was prepared to go another year without celebrating. But alas we actually did, even though I still think we shouldn’t have. He was getting worse but I think it made him happy that we had done something, something really special for me. This year… my father got diagnosed with cancer. Although I told him all I wanted was a small cake, in truth, all I want is for him to get better. From time to time he‘ll tell me or ask me what more can he bring into the world. My dad used to work as a machinist, making parts for airplanes, space shuttle, and his favorite was firearms. He may not think it, but I think he’s leaving a lot behind, great job dad! You are loved, remember that. Every time I hear this song, I’m thinking of you.
Just watched the accountant and came searching for this song. 7/29/24 Amazing! From reading I am not alone in watching and seeking ;-).
When you find a song that makes sense of what you feel after great loss and explains things better than I ever could for those that remain. Watching him sing it and then watching with the lyrics displayed made me shudder when the line about his son finally understanding what it was he’s been doing.
He finally knows what I meant is heart wrenching to me.
Then it brings me to father and son by Cat Stevens when he says you’re young and that’s your fault.
I may or may not wait for that day.
My father may or may not believe that I understand now but I love him for always being there for me and protecting me even when I was unaware and didn’t know what he meant.
I’m just trying to leave something behind.
🙏💕🤟😢
I can't even tell you how much this made me cry and laugh and weep..... this song hits home to me in a way I was u prepared for. Absolutely hooked. Thank you for a Beautiful song
This guys music is spell bounding. Pulls on your heart and emotions at every word. Great artist are many artist that can touch your soul are few. Thank you Sean
I LOVE THIS MAN !! I COULD LISTEN TO HIS VOICE FOREVER. I HAVE BEEN SINCE THE ACCOUNT MOVIE 1ST CAME OUT. 💚💛🧡
I just found this man tonight and must say; I love his style, words, and sound. You never know when you'll find an amazing artist. I've been listening to indie (non-mainstream) for almost 20 years, but there is always new music to hear. I always loved the song by Harry Chapin 'Remember When the Music' and the line; "imagine...all the melodies I'm missing, and all the magic words..." It makes me ponder about all the beauty in life we've yet to discover. It reminds you that life is always full of beautiful surprises, and that you'll never stop discovering them if you never stop looking.
Whoa. That's heavy. What a soulful, honest voice. Just beautiful. ❤
"When my son is a man he will know what I meant"
That's one of those lines that tattoos itself on your soul.
Incredible stuff.
steven Gregory great words
Give me a door and I can get through the wall. I love it!
I too heard this song at the end of the film "The Accountant"...I fell in love with the song...musically and lyrically inspiring...I believe that the lyrics tell the story of why we are all here...
thanks for saying that Judy!
A reflection on life's priorities and the desire to leave a lasting legacy. The songwriter acknowledges that they may not know the person well, but they perceive a lack of authenticity or honesty in their actions ("you can't lie to me with all these books that you sell"). The songwriter expresses a reluctance to blindly follow someone or be caught up in worldly pursuits, instead desiring to leave something meaningful behind.
The lyrics touch upon the idea that words can come from both wise and foolish individuals, and it can be challenging to discern the truth amidst different voices ("but I can't help thinking that I have heard the wrong crowd"). The mention of water running out and the impending loss of the songwriter's job suggests a sense of urgency and the need to make a lasting impact before it's too late.
The song emphasizes the contrast between the value of money and love, highlighting that love is more precious than material possessions. The reference to a broken and red future implies a world in turmoil or conflict, further emphasizing the songwriter's desire to make a positive difference.
The lyrics convey a sense of detachment from the world, with the songwriter feeling like a stranger in a foreign land. The line "we swallow the moon, but we do not know our own hand" suggests a disconnect between humanity's accomplishments and its understanding of itself. Despite this, the songwriter acknowledges the pursuit of a goal ("we're running with the case") even if the desired outcome is not yet attained.
There is a recognition that the world is changing, and the songwriter feels compelled to resist the negative impact of technology or machinery on human experiences ("when the machine has taken the soul from the man"). The song urges the listener to leave something meaningful behind, suggesting that there is more to life than material wealth.
The lyrics express a desire for wisdom and a frustration with society's focus on external appearances and superficial markers of age ("wisdom is lost in the trees somewhere... not gonna find it in some mental gray hair"). The songwriter contemplates their own mortality and hopes that their son will understand the deeper meaning behind their actions when he becomes a man.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the importance of love, authenticity, and leaving a positive impact on the world, despite the challenges and distractions that life presents.
Wow what a song, so moving. I have listened to it a few times before I realized that I have three good, honest and hard working children and three beautiful grandchildren who I am very proud of, perhaps this is what I will be
leaving behind.
I knew I would not be here for the long haul, so reaching out to my love ones and friends was to not confuse you but to enlighten you on the path that is to come for you!
This song tells it all.
anyone else uncontrollably cry to this? Beautifully written... Crushed and Uplifted my Soul within 4 minutes and 56 seconds
"When my son is a man he will know what I meant"
God dammit that hits me so hard in the feels
Just pray you are here to see, brother.
Aaron and Gilly, you are both sooooo correct!
Damn straight bro,
damn straight.....
You ain't alone here.
Get me to. I always change it in my head to "when my sons are all men" and just like yourself lol the tears follow
Makes you feel good so you curse God??? Really !
Every time I watch The Accountant, I fall more in love with this song!!
This song does two things for me: It touches my soule in a really profound way and it differentiates the Accountant from most other action films.
Been a Sean fan since the beginning. Nobody breaks my heart like you, sir.
Hi,
if u are a fan, mabe u are able to help me. My english sometimes is a bit rusty, so iam not sure if iam understanding him right. With "to leave somthing behind" does he means for example "to leave a bad memory behind" or does he means "to leave somthing behind that someone else could remember of"??? Iam asking because my dad died last friday and iam searching for a song for his funeral. Because i dont want that churchmusic beeing played. He wouldnt like this neither. So it would be nice if u could help me. Thanks.
In context it means to leave memories behind as an inheritance.
Was your Dad a believer but possibly not a 'church goer'? Did he leave you with strong and/or pleasant memories? Play the song! It's his funeral. Your memories.
It's a piece of art, it means whatever you want it to, it doesn't dictate meaning, that's your job.
John Stone - Cheers brother
A song that sends shivers down your spine....this life is just a journey, when you think about it, you are born, you live, then you die....you always leave everything behind, not only something
The accountant for me as well today, watching the fourth time. Will watch again in the future.
Do you know what the good song is?
A song that make a grown man cries. Like me.
that's my goal Enno. ;)
Amen my friend. Touches your soul.
Amen it truly did
Took the words out of my mouth my distant friend
Wait to you listen to 'I'll follow your trail' and 'My little man'. Maybe it's just me as I've been fighting for my son his whole life of nearly 11 years for his right to have me and my family in his life. I try but my eyes betray me every time I listen to these two wonderful songs. Thank you Sean Rowe for the magic you create.
Could not imagine a more fitting song for this ending. Can't wait to see the sequel! I cant tell you how touching I found the ending to be, on so many levels... especially " hello dreamboat, shall we chat?" put a tear in my eye.
Me too I suddenly realized she was the one at other end of all the calls quite capable woman.
Im not crying, you're crying.... Damn it! Who's cutting onions again!? This song hit me in the gutts. Wow...
A beautiful soul touching masterpiece!
Moving, played it many times. My son has Asperger's so to hear this at the end of the movie was very touching. I felt the words and the song's meaning thru Sean's deep voice.
My grandfather died next to me on December 10 2012. He went to sleep as I was taking him to the doctor and he passed away next to me. This reminds me of him so much cause he taught me everything I know. He left the best things behind for me to teach my kids.
evert beckner it’s not that he left the good things behind. It’s that you pick & choose the good to pass along to your children. Then, hopefully they pick and choose the good to pick up and pass along to their children.
It’s a cycle. When your grandchildren pass it along. Only then will we know if your grandfather passed along the good.
As you share with us. I’m sure he did!!!
my grandfather passed 40 years ago and is still with me every day. Guiding me and putting a hand on my shoulder. I am a better person because of him.
Scott Burns my father died December 4 1978.
I don’t remember when my grandfather passed away. I was but a very young man when he stuck a 357 Ruger in his mouth. Pulled the trigger. That didn’t kill him. He went to the closet and pulled out his 308 rifle stuck it in his mouth & pulled the trigger. Once again it did not Kill him. If nothing else he was determined. He grabbed his 12 gauge walked out to the tree. Put the butt of the gun the tree an the Barrel in his mouth.
That was some day. I had spent the week at their house during the summer.
Oh by the way. The third shot did kill him!!!
I was holding my mother's hand when she passed. It still salves my soul that I was there when she left this world!
