LYRICS
Like a common loon I started hearing birds
Birdsong everywhere a lark in the shower
From the night to the morning after
Warblers and wrens, hymn at my throat
Shook and quivering, I could have crowed
Oh I could have crowed
I was snared by your wrist
I know what the cost is
The octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing
and I know I could take it like a man
I know I could take it like a man
Falls of fascinations the sky was leaking light
like your eyes do that shipwrecked expression
I need more words for blue
Trilling in the tree the way I measure you
Fractured thirteenths that grin that you give
When you want me to quit
Falling further and falcon swift
I know what the cost is
In the octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing
And I know I can take it like a man
I know I can take it like a man
I know I can take it like a man
Falling further and falcon swift
I know what the cost is
In the octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing
And I know I can take it like a man

One of the most amazingly unpredictable and strangely intimate songwriters on the scene currently. Bravo Mrs. Shires.
" I know the cost of flight, is LANDING"..WOW, love these lyrics
You are upping the game for songwriters, Amanda Shires. Your humanity and grace are much needed and appreciated at this ugly time in America.
Amanda Shires, you’re a national treasure. 😍🎻 So talented and unlike anyone else. Never change.
Just discovered Amanda from her husband’s HBO documentary and am just blown away by her songwriting and that voice! Holy crap, she’s AMAZING! I feel like she needs her own documentary!
Saw her at the Black Deer Festival in Kent (UK) Mesmerising from the first note. Phenomenal voice, stage-presence and grace. The fact that such extraordinary talents as Amanda Shires and Morgan James are passed over by the big labels in favour of auto-tuned, 5 minute wonders is criminal but does nothing to diminish their star quality.
this is ethereal and no other Nashville artist will be able to top this for years
yes they will, they already have
Looked her up because of the Highwomen cover of "The Chain" on Howard Stern and I liked her voice and violin playing. I am BLOWN. AWAY. This is spectacular.
same here!
Same here!
Same!
same
she’s been around for a decade fools
This made me think of The Cranberries, Alanis, James Bond, and Dusty Springfield all wrapped up into one!!! I am absolutely mesmerized by your voice, your songwriting ability, and your love and fierceness when telling a story!!! 🔥🔥🔥🦋❤️🤗
Very James Bond-y somehow
Love the last line where "I can take it like a man" morphs into "I can take it like Amanda."
That is great!
❤
As a traumatized Amanda, this made me feel whole.❤ thank you, @amandashires
That's a "learn every word" song you will have the audience singing with you! Really great
This is massive. The power in Amanda's voice is visceral. So profoundly unique
Who else is here from the NY Times write up! Wow, what have I been missing! Shires and the band are off the hook good!!!
Dude ... I'm loving the dramatics - the climbing cracks revealing the rawness of those deep seeded emotions. Beautiful description of pain in the projected vocals
Them strings and then her haunting voice is just like damn what a tune
That family is loaded with talent and insight! What a breakout for Amanda and all women in the biz. Continue to climb the palace walls!!
Kristin Weber killing it on the fiddle.
Woman. This is gold.
Such a great song. It gives me the haunted feeling that Tindersticks gives. I've been listening to Jason Isbell for some years but stumbled upon Amanda yesterday, what a gem!
Looking forward to getting my CD. I still get a smile when I remember you introducing Jason as Mr. Amanda Shires when you in KC.
Awesome ! Another great one from my favorite Hurricane with a Fiddle ;) 🎻💥🌊
Fabulous unique voice. First but not the last time I’ll hear this lady.
A force of nature.
It just doesn't get much better than this.
This is the most beautiful song in the world :)
absolutely gorgeous song. a masterpiece of beauty, so happy it's now in my life. wow.
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song How are you?
What a magical voice! Love this girl’s music!
This has a Cranberries/Radio Head vibe to it. Shires vocals are unique and incredible. Jason Isbel’s guitar skills are solid. I Love this!!!!
On the button
I don’t get that at all 😂
I was thinking of a Cranberries Dolores O'Riordan vibe too. Love Amanda's voice. Recently discovered her through The Highwomen's cover of The Chain on Howard Stern.
Simply exquisite - Bravo
That final word- what a nice touch. 😉
She's so beautiful!!!
Haunting an instant classic. First listen was yesterday, had to hear it again today. Going into the "Midnight drive in the desert mix".
Cringe
Never heard of her, awsome...
This song is mesmerising and Amandas vocal performance is just stunning
Heard this on an interview she did with NPR a couple months back, where she performed a few songs live, and this one stood out---she also performed it on the tonight show recently. She's got a good powerful voice too.

I am all in for the Amanda Shires Renaissance. Another great song from a great lady, and I cannot wait for the album and the tour. I mean...I can. I understand how time works, but in this case I wish it would work a smidge faster.
The score is amazing. Like next level good.
Song bird boss. Damn. Incredible.
she is a super star
Take it like A-man-da! (The Octaves of Consequence- that must be this damn Isbell again! Wow!)
God damn Amanda Shires!! 😮
Well that was fkn awesome
Fabulous! 👏❤️🔥
Amanda - this is REALLY good.
Blown away!!!
Wow!!! Sooo amazing!!! Thank you Amanda!!!👋👋🎵🎶💜
Nature is surely a language for the most important literacy. The body language is overt here just before the solo ....
moving toward the guitarist and closing herself up. solo....SOLO...... I can here her. Loud and clear. Beyond and within the song. Would love to talk with her . Even for just a short while. Stay strong Amanda.
This is tremendous
Absolutely stunning! 🐦
Puff, que decir...
Saludos desde Pehuajó, Argentina...!!!
“Take it like Amanda” lol. Great album. Every song is great. “Everything Has Its Time”? So sad. Love Amanda’s voice, and holy smokes how sexy can this girl GET??
She may be the most beautiful woman of this generation.
This is amazing
loving this album so much!!!
This is phenomenal and beautiful.
Amazing! 🔥🔥
Simply beautiful.
great stuff! love it
You were absolutely amazing on The Late, Late show tonight ! Love this song 💙
Holy moly girl!
Great song. Great performance.
The drive in her voice is incredible. 👏👏👏
Amanda looks amazing here. One word to Mr. Isbell: Respect! Looking forward to the new record. Saw Amanda on her last tour and was surprised to see the drummer for The Whigs and Eagles of Death Metal playing in her band. It was a great show, btw...Love the vibe of this song.
Amazing 👏
Absolutely the best. Like Leonard Cohen and John Prine, before her, Amanda paints truth with her music
I was just about to remark about how I hear Leonard's influence in this piece and how proud he would be. Prine too, of course....but this just has the delicious feel of a Leonard Cohen piece made perfect by Amanda's style, grace, and overall badassery.
I cannot stop playing it!
The writing, music and video 🔥🔥🔥🤠💜
La escuché con esta canción en radio WFUV, y me encontré esta oficial....están genial...excelente rola, que atmosférica se escucha
I love this! Wonderful! What a treat!
It only gets better too. On my 10th listening, I find myself looking forward to my 100th listening.
一発で好きになった
I'm sitting here watching my morning show and they praised this lady in this song. I'm from Nashville no this is not country. They said that New York Post said it was a greatest thing that happened in a long time to music I think they need to re-evaluate, don't give me wrong good song but not as great as they make it out to be. Surely this girl's got better Talent this crackling sound voice. I know she's got talent cuz I've heard other song and this girl can sing
This version sounds so good!
Incredible song, really whetting my appetite for the album, you are killin' it !! :)
You look and sound amazing, Amanda! Always nice to see Kristin and Josee as well.
Bravo !!!
Powerful stuff🤘 This song and video definitely captured Amanda. Very cool!
Great Stuff
Her vocal has a bit of Siouxsie Sioux in it. I like it.
Really cool session!
she spreads at the chair....still singing.
Bit like the young Kate Bush ..but Amanda has truly carved herself a unique niche up there with today's premier female singer songwriters .
In the final stanza she sings "take it like a man(da)..a superb and briliant vocal twist in the tail
3:18 what a turnaround!
I just found out about Amanda Shires from Blackberry Smoke and I really love your songs and performance. 🤟
Awesome thanks
This is amazing song and incredible vocal performance. I didn't care for some of her older work, but this is extremely good.
Simply a Goddess
This is perfection, haunting, and on repeat. Cheers to you girl💞🙌🤘
Thank you
Dare I say this is better than the studio version.
Such a great song! Amazing Amanda! I did think Jason was wearing a bathrobe at first 😂
Wow, what a stunning beauty. Jaw dropping. Good song too.
I get a Kate Bush vibe while listening to this song. Love it.
I adore the fact her man, The Man Jason Isbell is standing behind her not saying a word echoing her every movement with his FIRE ASS STRING PULLING! I feel like I just made EXTREMELY passionate love and we got off together. ❤ whew! I need a smoke.
Please come perform at Floores Country Store!!!!
Like a man ..da " pretty cleaver 👍.
I love her outfits 🤪
❤️
Come back to Spain soon ❤❤❤
At the end “take it like a man da” 😉 I see you
Jason in that trench coat looking like a creeper. Lol. This song kicks ass and that solo is 🔥
*Dear everyone that's reading this*

*We don't know each other but I wish you all the best in life,stay blessed, stay safe and have a amazing rest of your day* ❤
Great song, love the last lyric!!
What was the last lyric? I couldn’t understand her.
@@donna3465 She originally was just going to sing "take it like a man" again as the last line, but decided to add "da" at the end during recording, so the last lyric is actually "take it like Amanda"
