This song means so, so much to me. It perfectly captures the melancholy and helplessness I've felt in some moments, but it slides in that spark of hope you get after a good cry, that feeling that it's going to be okay. We're all gonna be alright.
Brittany Howard is beautiful, talented, and a true artist. People who say negative things about her looks are truly mistaken. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. She's one of the finest musicians to come into the music scene today. Thank you Brittany and Alabama Shakes for continuing to make fantastic music!
I love the technique she uses, patting the guitar strings. We don't see it often, and there is something about the quiet, harmonically-rich tone it makes that just fits this song so perfectly. Truly a talented musician and songwriter.
One of the deepest songs I have ever heard in my life time. And that’s saying a lot because I grew up on Percy, Etta, Otis, and many more before her time. There is a sadness to this song that sings of hope. It’s about allowing yourself to feel deeply, while still singing of the hope that will come in the morning. It’s about giving into your emotions and still having the ability to gently convey to your loved ones what you need in order to fix your well being. I truly adore these lyrics!
I just want to be happy. This song...it makes me hopeful that I’ll find it some day. She made me cry, and she made me smile. Thank you Alabama Shakes for renewing my hope in me.
I was thinking about this song this morning. It's a contender for one of the best tunes of the last decade. What haunts me is the restraint throughout the whole song, it is so delicate but brimming with the intensity of a caged animal. The art of a true artisan.
This is real life. People love a good feeling. Do anything for a good feeling especially when you are not getting one for whatever reason in this world
Since everyone is sharing how they came across this beautiful song, let me share mine: it was December 2019, and I was on a family holiday in Australia. We had rented a car and was driving down the Great Ocean Road. We stopped for lunch at a popular spot called the Koala Kafe, and I was queuing to buy food while my parents were trying to get a seat in the crowded restaurant. The song just soothed every bone in my body and became the song for me as we traipsed down the rest of the coastal drive. The sheer sense of freedom that this song grants you is something I will always cherish.
I've said this SO many times... but again, THANK YOU Brittany ad Alabama Shakes for the music you create. SO much passion and SO much feeling... I haven't found this much soul in any other artist... Norah Jones, Etta James, Aretha Franklin.. maybe a few others, but come on.. Brittany Howard, your voice is out of this world. Thank you for saving my soul!!
I only heard this song recently because I watched Fleabag series, from 2013, which is very funny, but this song at the end just grabbed me. What a wonderful song. Brittany Howard is such a wonderful singer, so much emotion and incredible voice.
Lyrics: I just kept hoping, I just kept hoping The way would become clear I spent all this time tryna play now I found my way here See, I've been having me a real hard time But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright So I just kept dreaming, yeah, I just kept dreaming It wasn't very hard I spent all this time tryna figure out why Nobody on my side See, I've been having me a real good time But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright So please don't take my feelings I have found a name So please don't take my feelings I have found a name Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright So I just kept going, I just kept going And hoping I'm growing in Well this good I've found, I spent all this time Tryna find my way here And I've been having me a real fun time But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright Please don't take this feeling I have found a name Please don't take my feelings I have found a name If I wanted to, I'd be alright Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright
All I want is to be stable, happy and free. Nothing more nothing less, so I spent my whole life running and fighting and still not even close. The journey is longer than what I expected and it's lonely as f. So yes this song even tho made me cry, still make feel some hope and comfort and I love it.
I just became aware of this song watching movie, “The Wheel”. Reminded me of Prince’s sound. I was shocked, yet very pleased to become aware of this talented artist. She phenomenal. Her song certainly made me really enjoy the movie. Keep singing!!!
I love her music. It is heart felt; I appreciate her natural beauty. Not Hollywood Polished. Which makes her music so genuine. Taking it back when you made it because you were simply talented, and not because you were Eye Candy; made up with fake: breast, hair, butt. Keep on being you, the wonderful woman God made you to be. Gifted voice with natural beauty.
This was my introduction to Alabama Shakes. They are so awesome and Brittany is right up there on my chart. I can't get enough of watching her. Keep rocking it, Brittany!
I love this band so much! Brittany is a queen! And this song is the perfect soundtrack for my new life I begin right now... Heard this song the first time and was crying tears of joy immediately...
Thank you, motion picture soundtrack, "Dallas Buyer's Club", for introducing me to this wonderful artist, Brittany Howard! OMG.. she's the real deal. Love her! So glad Alabama Shakes played at Austin City limits.
sexy and attractive is a very subjective thing, there is no recepe for that, and it's nothing you can control anyway. For example I am not really attracted to confident girls loving themselves as it's more often a fake facade
Always listen to their music, however never seen them perform.......as of today, as look at this video....I'm truly a fan. Love the her passion, presence, and her incredible talent...and the compliment of members in group....IT JUST WORKS!!!
Fleabag brought me here. Knew the song before the show, but it hit hard in that final scene. Such brilliant writing demanded an equally brilliant soundtrack.
This song really connects perfectly with the end of the FLEABAG series. Both works are perfect and when the end of the series begins you are already on the floor, but then the music comes....
... utterly perfect. In every way and personaly, as well. I've been on the receiving end of harassment and micro aggressions (5+months) so frequently, so persistently, that I...I was on the precipice of giving up, not 5 min ago. This song though...it spoke to me on such a deep fucking level. Totally hit the spot. Exactly what I needed to hear *I'm crying, waiting on this bus. Thank you Alabama Shakes
I've known this song for a long time but I REALLY know it now after that Fleabag series finale.
Linda Linda I just watched the finale and I am in love with this song.
Insanely emotional in Fleabag
Linda Linda fleabag has a great soundtrack Best way to find new music 👍
yep, fleabag brought me here too tonight, after a long stint from the shakes back in 2016 ;-)
Same lol
"It's God, isn't it?"
Yeah
Damn!
“i love you too 😢”
Most definitely.
No! Just a human being!
This song means so, so much to me. It perfectly captures the melancholy and helplessness I've felt in some moments, but it slides in that spark of hope you get after a good cry, that feeling that it's going to be okay. We're all gonna be alright.
😢😢😢
I feel that
I fully agree with you. ❤️
❤❤ best comment ever. Couldn’t have said it better
We will be.

Alabamashakesthebestbandintheworld,
So true
Alison Koch So true , I'm with you she is simply amazing , I don't think there is anybody else , that puts her❤️& soul into a song like her .....
Never heard a bad thing about her, just you inferring that someone has
Santiago M so true
Fleabag - closing track. A wonderful song and a brilliant series. Great ending!
Such a good series and scene. It brought me here too!
"It'll pass." Ugh. Gutted.
just got me to stand.. rewatch it and say "damn, that was perfect".
Yes yes yes
She could possibly have the best voice of her generation .
agreed. I discovered her about 5 to 6 years ago. Angel
Amen
Yes indeed
I love the technique she uses, patting the guitar strings. We don't see it often, and there is something about the quiet, harmonically-rich tone it makes that just fits this song so perfectly. Truly a talented musician and songwriter.
Big Little Lies had me searching high and low for this artists who I thought was guy but was pleasantly surprised to find a sistah! I love your voice
@Shati Shane Parks, me too!
Crowd's unable to make some noise. Look, they're literally melting by listening to this masterpiece!
Moozy Mathers I am too

Cried too,GREAT artists have that effect,had to track her down
I hope you found it Sami x
I’m obsessed with Brittany Howard. She is poetry in motion.
This song never fails to make me cry; sometimes out of sadness and sorrow and others, out of hope and contentment. A true piece of art.
Right when I thought good music was dead she literally changed my whole perspective. Thank you Alabama Shakes!
amanda anaya SO True! I feel ya...
love
Good music never dies, you just have to look in the right places
I cannot listen to this without seeing the last scene of fleabag. It’s heartbreaking every time this song comes on
This song got me through such a hard time, so meaningful. Raw talent.
Olivia Hutson agreed.
Me too :-)
Me four.
Same here!!
I heard this song on Fleabag and instantly became one of my favorites.
My favorite song by them. When my dad died I replayed this song over & over. Every time I hear it I cry & cry until I can't anymore.
🤗💜

She's incredible. Anyone to hear this live is incredibly lucky and makes me appreciate live performances.
I'm Nigerian and I must say, Brittany Howard is one of the greatest voices I've ever listened to in my life.
I just discovered this song right now. Never heard of them. I'm OBSESSED now. She's fucking fantastic!
Genuine. Quiet confidence. As real as it gets. Pure.
Fleabag brought me here. Love this song.

What a voice...Love her looks and how she "Feels" the words...Beautiful!!!
This song has carried me through so much pain.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG.
Rebecca Scilipoti / me 2 , just incredible ....!!!!
This is outstanding. Her face speaks volumes of emotion...and all of them genuinely believable. Incredible.
Saw them live in Los Angeles. Instantly forgot about my depression. I absolutely love this band!!
Alonso Treto amazing.
Something about the fogged up glasses really adds to this performance.
Beautiful voice!
she is blind in that eye. she had cancer as a child
That's intersting. Thanks for sharing that.
I dont know where ive been all this time, but now that i found out this treasure i'm not going anywhere anymore
Let's give it up for the back-up singers and the instrumentation! Holy smokes this is a good one...
Preach girl
"I love you
It'll pass"
I'm still in love with this song and with Fleabag
@Samuel Powell Thanks for the recommendation!
This my comfort song. Might not be here without it.
I only heard this song recently because I watched Fleabag series, from 2013, which is very funny, but this song at the end just grabbed me. What a wonderful song. Brittany Howard is such a wonderful singer, so much emotion and incredible voice.
What a great song........
AUSTIN CITY LIMITS
best venue for great music
Very cool
God, if I could marry a voice...
I’m not the religious guy , but if the creator is looking , he/she is smiling with that tear of joy running down the corner of the eye. 👌💯🔥
Lyrics:
I just kept hoping, I just kept hoping
The way would become clear
I spent all this time tryna play now
I found my way here
See, I've been having me a real hard time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright
So I just kept dreaming, yeah, I just kept dreaming
It wasn't very hard
I spent all this time tryna figure out why
Nobody on my side
See, I've been having me a real good time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright
So please don't take my feelings
I have found a name
So please don't take my feelings
I have found a name
Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright
So I just kept going, I just kept going
And hoping I'm growing in
Well this good I've found, I spent all this time
Tryna find my way here
And I've been having me a real fun time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright
Please don't take this feeling
I have found a name
Please don't take my feelings
I have found a name
If I wanted to, I'd be alright
Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright
I have found "AT LAST".
ty angel ty n hugz.. tlc
hm this whole time i thought she says 'at last' as well as 'i spent allthis time tryna play nice'
All I want is to be stable, happy and free. Nothing more nothing less, so I spent my whole life running and fighting and still not even close. The journey is longer than what I expected and it's lonely as f. So yes this song even tho made me cry, still make feel some hope and comfort and I love it.

OMG!!! this song is so beautiful. I came across it on the show "Big Little Lies" and been listening to it ever since.
love this song !!!! reminds me of Prince.
Glad she’s growing & morphing into the next phase of her journey, but I’m going to miss her band😔 Together they were magical for me🌹
This song is helping me through a hard time right now with my gf... I have it on repeat on iTunes she is incredible
Jessica Martin i cry everytime i hear this song .....
Raven Labiche you and I both... week later and still have it on repeat.
2 years later - are you still with your GF ... cos I know you kept Brittany and the Alabama Shakes
This was my introduction to Alabama Shakes. They are so awesome and Brittany is right up there on my chart. I can't get enough of watching her. Keep rocking it, Brittany!
I love this band so much! Brittany is a queen! And this song is the perfect soundtrack for my new life I begin right now... Heard this song the first time and was crying tears of joy immediately...

This, this is it. No better
One might say...the biggest rock & roll and R&B talent ever
she loves herself she knows herself she is confident and that is what makes a woman sexy and atractive xxx
sexy and attractive is a very subjective thing, there is no recepe for that, and it's nothing you can control anyway. For example I am not really attracted to confident girls loving themselves as it's more often a fake facade
@@MrPloopi oh you prefer insecure girls who hate themselves?
@@Chibbykins yes because whoever pretend otherwise is a liar
@@MrPloopi sounds like you're not secure enough in yourself to handle a confident woman lmao. but at least you're honest about your issues
Special ... Hope everyone can feel that...
Patrick Hanks indeed !! I can , I listen to this song on their Album probably a million times , you can just keep dreaming , like she sings ...
Simply fantastic, I'll never get tired of her voice
I LOVE SEEING CONFIDENT MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE GENUINELY TALENTED WORKING TOGETHER AND SUPPORTING EACHOTHER
Good lord this is so good
Lordy! well done lady! am in love!
First time I heard her I cried,GREAT artists have that affect on me, who needs American idol-voice-AGT,TO tell us what's good.
Within 10 seconds of this song starting i was looking on Shazam. Played it a million times since then. Captivating and beautiful ❤️
Don’t know why but this song made me cry. Very melancholy and emotional feeling for some reason
Im right here with you! at 430 in the morning .. on repeat! Its powerful
I'm in love with this feeling gifted to me by this beautiful song, from these beautiful people. Man this is wondrous xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Always listen to their music, however never seen them perform.......as of today, as look at this video....I'm truly a fan. Love the her passion, presence, and her incredible talent...and the compliment of members in group....IT JUST WORKS!!!
Saw her live just before lockdown. I knew the Shakes but live Solo sensed an emerging force ...like Ella or Elvis or Etta or Aretha.
Mrs. Fletcher ....episode 3 closing song..... hauntingly beautiful!
no word can describe how I feel when I listen to this song
My brother put me on this... love them
Prince is inside this woman the vibe is lit.
I was hearing that too
She does have that Prince vibe/feel!
Here coz of Mrs Fletcher but, now I really like the whole album.
She pulls notes from down deep, gives me goosebumps.
Amazing voice, wonderfully talented woman! Great band!
Grateful for "Grace and Frankie" for bringing me here 💞
Brittany is fucking angelic on this song
She is beautiful! Love this song!
Me watching "Big Little Lies" got me here... Lovely, deep song. Heard it dont know how many times... :)
This has an amazing deep and raspy voice, yet most of the time she sings in a falsetto. The falsetto is absolutely perfect, it is never off pitch.
@Samuel PowellI will check out this band that you mention. I love music, and I am always open to new groups/artists. Thank You for that mention.
This is what if feels like to be serenaded by an angel absolutely graceful
La primera canción que escuché de Alabama Shakes se ha convertido en una de mis canciones favoritas de mi vida.
She has a signature voice. So distinctive.
She does everything she wants with her voice. Amazing. God's thing.
Back for the 8th time :-)
Meu deus onde é que eu tava que não tinha ouvido essa PERFEIÇÃO ainda ?????
Love this so much …she’s amazing 🤩
GOOSEBUMPS!!!!
This song brought me out of some dark places
omg soo beautiful. I'm in love with her voice.
I love the Alabama Shake, especially the lead singer Howard. Awesome.
One word that can explain this beautiful woman and band. AWESOME!!

Fleabag has made great use of the song. So beautiful.
Rock, soul, and gospel all in one voice. Absolutely incredible.
That ending harmony hits like a truck full of feel-good
... utterly perfect. In every way and personaly, as well.
I've been on the receiving end of harassment and micro aggressions (5+months) so frequently, so persistently, that I...I was on the precipice of giving up, not 5 min ago. This song though...it spoke to me on such a deep fucking level. Totally hit the spot. Exactly what I needed to hear
*I'm crying, waiting on this bus. Thank you Alabama Shakes
💕 this songs been helping me get through these stressful few days.
