This is a beautiful song called "The Stable Song" by Gregory Alan Isakov. You really need to listen to the whole song and all of the lyrics to understand it :) Enjoy
Recently watched "Peanut Butter Falcon" and needed to know this song when I heard it in the movie. Was a perfect song for a perfect part of the movie to!
This is one of those songs that just makes me yearn for what I have never and will never know, it's so cathartic, freeing and just perfection. Not for everyday, but for when your tears need a little nudge to clean out all of life's detritus. ❤️💔💔
To be humble is what it truly is to be good. Believe me friend, life is all what you make of it, not what it seems to be or what people think they know. But good surpasses all, because without reason it is true and therefore powerful. Please be everything that we can't be, and be more. The world is counting on that one person who will rise above it all and prove to God that men were worth saving after all.
Impossible. There is literally no way you've listened to this song more than 240 times on the day you posted this. You may have very well listened to this song 1,000 times by now, though.
Thank you Gregory for giving this great moving song I can have a bad day and come home and pick up my guitar and play along with you and drift into a peaceful solace that heals my soul.
I first heard this song cleaning my horses stall and watching her run just a peaceful great song that went when that moment in my life thank you for your great gift god gave you
Saw/heard this in Peanut butter Falcon, it crushed me. I'm a hardcore Metal dude. This song made me miss my mom and dad, my kids childhood and every lost love all at once. It's good to purge sometimes.
I hear you! Comfort to you: this song is on a lot of other sites, and it seems to get a lot of listening, varying numbers but some are "up there high," even recently.
"And you sent me back to where I roam, but I cursed and I cried but now I know." I love this song so much and is my all-time favorite. And that's saying something since I just turned 50 and am a huge Bob Dylan and Pogues fan. I feel I can tap into my deepest longings and true wisdom every time I give this song a listen. We leave home, struggle, become overwhelmed...and the only way to find peace is to return home, broken but wiser...and ready to begin again with a newfound understanding. I get a Prodigal Son vibe. Thoughts?
@@bonnies.d.1121 I have read similar interpretations, that the song is about a break up. Brilliant songs like this can be interpreted in so many different ways. :) I see it as a song about youthful bliss, loss, and return, and with the return comes a messy peace. But I could be wrong.
@@colincaldwell21 Well, by God, I think you are so correct (and I love your choice of words: "youthful bliss, loss...and messy peace")! Deep love at the start but breakdown, and he put her through some hell, too (the mud); she sent him away and he fled to a cave, got his tin heart beating again, limped back to the stable, laid out on the table, calling on intensity and life to come back, he wiser, and yes, open and willing to start 'way over...even back to coal. I hear different words in some phrases, than the lyrics printed here, and a couple words escape me, but it is sure worth continuing to listen to and for them... perhaps, even, imagining. I am admiring that you got so much out of this beautiful song and grateful that you helped me understand it (and perhaps the dear man who sent it to me). I hope you're an English teacher; I think you tapped into the heart here: deep longing and learned wisdom.
Such sweet sorrow is this…. Like yesterday memory’s etched in everything everyone in there own life’s visions. Childhood end… to hold - hugs all lovely’s
Someone should explain to me what this song means to them. What story do you hear when you listen to this song? Does it remind you of anything from your own life? Let me know I'm interested.
Ryan Baker I can’t quite put my finger on what it means to me but he refers to the stable in some of his songs and to me it means a place in ones self that you come back to when you’ve been humbled and are open to change and growth. No matter how far you think you have come along in life, this honest place inside keeps you grounded and true to yourself.
I always thought this song was about divorce. There are a few references to things like wedding bells, diamond rings. The part where he says “I threw stones at the stars but the whole sky fell” to me sounds like the fallout of arguing as you slowly grow apart and things crash down somewhat unexpectedly.
I don’t know what the words mean but the first time I heard it I was brought back to Colorado. Purely Colorado. A beautiful part of my life was lived there among some of the most genuine the down to earth people you’ll find.
To me it the simplicity of life we were born into life and we will one day die and we will live generations to generations until we deteriate as a race so we should make our life now because we will one day be nothing but stardust
Question: Does anyone remember this song being sung by a woman on Late Night With Dave Letterman? For the love of me I can’t remember who. This song is gentle, cathartic and powerful. ❤️❤️❤️
Sun just coming up over the mountain and a hawk flying free over the tree line.... How can we not acknowledge that GOD is in the details... This song reminds me of just how amazing life is.
Without Gregory addressing it directly we’ll never know. Belly of the beast as an idiom has been around since the first century. There’s a translation of a story from 10AD that describes a man thrusting his sword into an elephant that uses the term “belly of the beast” mortally wounding the elephant who then falls on the man who stabbed it. They both die.
This song is about mortality. He's talking about questioning his own life at the end of his life, when he is "covered up in straw, belly up on the table"- what kind of person was he?
all the dislikes in the world cannot remove the peace that this song brings
Yaaaaaaasss!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yes
Michael Martinez, well said, this songs refreshes my soul every time I hear it. Mainstream radio avoided this song in my area, what a shame
amen
Like seriously, this song is a hidden gem. I don’t know how they got here just to dislike it.
Gregory Alan Isokav is above any mere classification. He is an old soul, keep singing my friend

kate carew Oh my gosh, that it. Exactly it!
Beautifully said!
literally grieving to it at this moment
kate marry me dear♥️...never knew somebody could put what i felt exactly in words when i hear this song...
That's the best comment I have read in years on YT
I have not heard of this artist till watching The Peanut Butter Falcon. I am now addicted to all his music and their amazing lyrics.
Just got to watch peanut butter falcon. Won't be the last time for sure.
"turn these diamonds straight back into coal" makes me feel so happy
To remain humble
And staying to my nurtured roots.
To be humble is what it truly is to be good. Believe me friend, life is all what you make of it, not what it seems to be or what people think they know. But good surpasses all, because without reason it is true and therefore powerful. Please be everything that we can't be, and be more.

Great comment! After all, what has more value? Coal keeps us warm; diamonds do nothing but feed our ego.
I have listened to this song a thousand times today
glad i'm not the only one lol
Are you in love? You have to, if you been listening to this frequently.
El Ruiz heartbroken
BigRedUSMC That sucks. But I still like the song.

It always makes me cry but I love it...
Me, too
There's a tear in my eye, and I'm not even sure why?
Mind is blown every time I listen to this
Keep me stable.
Keep me free.
I wished of a wish to set us all free...
Minato Namikaze is this apart of the song?
Minato Namikaze you can teleport anywhere you like. You are free
It's a poem i wanted to share with the world.
@@starkillermatt91 thanks
@@starkillermatt91 mahalo
idk if the 19 dislikes are true? or if they just missed the like button cuz I don't see anything wrong with this masterpiece
Perhaps they're comparing it to the Colorado Symphony version and preferring that recording instead. Only reason I can imagine.
Austen this is beautiful, don’t cate who you are 😘
6 minutes of brilliance
more people need to listen to this godamnit
are u still an emo

I was hoping some would share their understanding of this song...I thought it might be about the animal hirself...I'll listen some more.
Oh: No, it's a heartbreak song, isn't it...someone sent back out into the cold, diamonds gone...

68% is not a bad rate of favorables to outright misanthropes who didn't like this song. They probably never liked their mother either.

No words

Peanut butter falcon brought me here

Love this song. What does this song mean?

Peanut Butter Falcon brought me here. great song 👍🏻
Kaylan, at 5:34 I'm thinking about you. Is the sun rising or setting? Should we turn diamonds back to coal?

What does "Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell" mean?
What exactly is he singing about?
Sounds like he's asking if they were the monsters or the heroes.
Without Gregory addressing it directly we’ll never know. Belly of the beast as an idiom has been around since the first century. There’s a translation of a story from 10AD that describes a man thrusting his sword into an elephant that uses the term “belly of the beast” mortally wounding the elephant who then falls on the man who stabbed it.
