Many years ago my husband requested this song to be played at his funeral. He passed Sept 24 of last year, it was played!❤
He had great taste. I'm sorry for your loss. 🥹
I'm sorry for your loss.
What a beautiful song for him to request. I can't help but believe he was wanting to send you a special message.
God bless you. My best friend died today. That brought me here
Sturgill is the best.
Happy it was played. May he rest in peace.
There is so much beauty in this song . First heard this on mushrooms. This whole album is dedicated to his son . I find it very bittersweet because I lost my son in his first few months of life and discovered Sturgill not long after and this song makes me think of all I could have taught him about life, love, and God and how will never get to, but with a feeling of hope that I will be more prepared and dedicated to teach for my future children these things. I actually listen to this song now as if my son Jacob in heaven is speaking the scared child inside myself who never grew up that is full of doubt and fear. That he now is teaching, guiding, and comforting me in my journey through this upredictable and terrifying life. That he is doing for me what I did not get to do for him. That may not make sense to any of you but Sturgill Simpson's music touches the depths of my soul and has helped me grieve and cope with my loss. That right there is priceless and I hope to one day thank him personally for the beautiful music that has helped me though the most difficult thing this life has yet to throw my way. Thank you Sturgill
Aw man Mark, this touched my heart. I feel your pain and the hope in your words. It is truly a beautiful and magical song. I cannot imagine your pain but I can relate to this song. My mom looks just like this child in the video at the same age. She passed in '03. We had an amazing bond and this is her song for me, among many. There is no doubt that Jacob is guiding, teaching and comforting his daddy. I hope you get the chance to meet Sturgill one day, shake his hand and share with him what this song means to you. ♥
@@AR-nk8sy Thank you for the kind words.
Dude, I'm pretty much an atheist an I understand. I could only imagine that shit. My son is 12 now thankfully. And I say thankfully with the most regard to our exsistance. Unfortunately shit happens and we can not control it. No matter what we think. Cheers man. From one human too another.
I hope you know love peace and light. Sounds like you do♥️
He sings a bit like Russel Smith.
There will be days
The sun won't shine
When it seems like
The whole world is against you
Don't be afraid
Life is unkind
You can let go of the pain
If you choose to
'Cause time slips away
Skies fall apart
Revealing to all
A universal heart
Glowing
Flowing
All around you
There will be nights
That go on forever
Like you're long, lost at sea
Never to be found
Just know in your heart
That we're always together
And long after I'm gone
I'll still be around
'Cause our bond's eternal
So is love
God is inside you
All around you
And up above
Knowing
Showing you the way
Time slips away
Skies fall apart
Revealing to all
A universal heart
Glowing
Flowing
All around you
Thank you, Sturgill.
All Around You
Sturgill Simpson
There will be days

When it seems like the whole world is against you
Don't be afraid
Life is unkind
You can let go of the pain if you choose to
'Cause time slips away
Skies fall apart
It ain't too hard
A universal heart
Glowing, flowing, all around you
There will be nights that go on forever
Like you're long-lost at sea
Never to be found
Just know in your heart
That we're always together
And long after I'm gone
I'll still be around
'Cause our bond is eternal
And so is love
God is inside you all around you
And up above
Glowing , showing, you the way
'Cause time slips away
Skies fall apart
It ain't too hard
A universal heart
Glowing, flowing, all around you

"Revealing to all
A Universal Heart" No one gets that right.
Love this!
Beeauiful song
Thank you for your service, o7
This is still one of the best songs of all time. Thank you Sturgill
God is inside you. All around you. And up above. How moving. Gives me chills.
One of the few songs played during our son’s funeral service ❤️❤️❤️ hits me harder every time
That’s deep. I’m truly sorry. I don’t know what I would do if something ever happened to my son.
~}💛{~
Prayers to you , Sorry for your Great Loss. Keep Strong and Keep listening to Sturgill ... I lost my Mother at the age of 14 .. I'm now 53 in 2021... Yes , it's been a long hard road .. I just couldn't imagine losing a child. God bless you all
man...this was mine and my wife's first dance at our wedding...it's certainly crazy how art can be seen either/both ways. condolences to you and your family. cheers
hope y'all are well here now in the Season of Light. Hope his is with you
By far my favorite song in all my 51 years of playing and listening. ❤
I wish this song were way longer. I can listen to this over and over
A friend said this has a Van Morrison "into the mystic" vibe & I think he's right. Beautiful.
I cry every time I listen to this song! I’ve been listening to it for weeks!!! It’s beautiful, powerful, sad, happy everything I need prescribed. Music is my medicine!!!
*The hero we don't deserve, but need.*
J.D. Ferguson amen
Lmfao shut the fuck up
I frickin love this song, it gives me INXS "Never Tear Us Apart" feels.
Damn song makes me misty eyed every time.
Tony Barlow I listened to this song for the first time today. I played it back to back about 4 times and every time I cried and it felt so very good. It spoke to my soul that I cannot translate into words just liquid prayers(teardrops)💧
Teary eyed not me. But whole spirit lift up as this plays.... a strong force from within me that is more powerful than I ever could have imagined. I won't be defeated for God is the Star & He is going to do and show so much more.
Zee Truthful I completely identify with what you are saying. I cry, but on a level of being understood. Sometimes a song just sings your heart strings, and it is articulated perfectly 👌vibrations transcend time and space...
Every....Damn....Time
One of the greatest, most beautiful songs EVER. Can be sad or joyful depending on mood/interpretation.
One of the best song's I've ever heard so if you don't like it don't ruin it for those of us who love it ,it's just beautiful
I love this song. I sing it to my son and he smiles so much . This is real music. keep up the good work
You know it's good when you get the chills.
Every single time I hear it
Those chills are called "chicken skin." When a song gives you chicken skin it's because God has brought you together with the Universe's Vibration, thru the vibration of the music!
Yea...this song gives me chicken skin....every time I hear it!
Every.... Time!
This is what artists do, they use their work to express themselves. This is the way he feels, and you don't have to agree, and you also don't have to listen or watch. I think it's wonderful that a somewhat country esq. musician is brave enough to make a point like this. Also, beautiful song, that's what I really came here for.
"brave enough to make a point like this"
Hahahaha, mate like 75% of the world population has bitched about Tuck Frump. There is nothing "brave" about making a statement like this, nor is it original.
Good song nonetheless. Good album overall.
I mean brave for an American COUNTRY singer... Meanwhile there are American popstars, like Taylor Swift, who haven't said a word about anything political. One of the most powerful things about being a celebrity is being able to use their voice to share their opinions on issues like this, especially to do so in an industry that is mostly considered to be conservative ( more so the fan base than the artists). So yeah, I think relative to other rising country singers, he is being brave.
+shannon lyons murphy
Taylor Swift is an atrocious example as she can hardly be considered a country singer. Sturgill Simpson himself can only be considered country by proxy. "Alternative Counrty" if you will. His music has such strong influences from a broad range of genres, it's extremely hard to lump him together with the stereotypical country singer, given that his style is anything but stereotypical country. That alone should be a dead giveaway that him having an opinion that differs from the stereotypical "country" opinion does not come as much of a shock.
But to play the devil's advocate here; let's say he is the "stereotypical country singer". He voiced (if you can even call it that, it's just vague symbolism in a music video) a political opinion that veers left of center. This may upset the following of his conservatives/right winger fans, sure, but think about it for a minute. The opinion he voiced is extensively supported by the media and the bulk majority of America. How is that brave? How is it brave to voice an opinion that you know will be supported?
Face it, liberal opinions are the status quo. If anything, he's going to get a lot more liberal minded fans by pulling a move like this. He's going to get a lot more media exposure from liberal outlets and bringing his music to people that would have otherwise written him off because they think he's just some "racist country singer". He'll lose some conservatives blinded by identity politics (just like if the roles were reversed) and will keep those who were just in it for the music in the first place. I wouldn't call it brave. I'd call it pandering. It's stupid to put artists up on a pedestal for voicing political opinions because it alienates fans of the music. Not only that, it causes people to stop thinking for themselves because their "favorite artist" holds similar views to their own.
I think Trump may have won because too many celebrities (who most are part of the 1%) supported Hillary. Celebrities endorsing candidates makes the candidates appear elitist and ignorant to what everyday middle class American workers go through.
You do realize that Trump is a celebrity and was supported vocally by many conservative celebrities? Right?
best music I've heard in years. Merle said this guy's music was to good for Nashville's pop industry n as usual he was right.
You my man make timeless music while everyone is making easy music everyone will forget tomorrow. Thank you for making songs that I'll always keep around.
This is amazingly good. His voice, the melody, the lyrics. Everything on point!! I'm so happy to hear this. A big fan from Brazil.
🙋💚🇧🇷
My son picked this song for our dance at his wedding perfect!
Watching him continue to climb the charts and gain fans has been incredible! Country music, and music in general, like this is hard to come by these days. Hope he keeps writing for a long time.
Stugill Simpson sings from the heart! What a true musician. I don't know why Older People such as myself don't get to listen to him. True Country I beleive he replaced Walon an all time favorite. Keep up the good work Stugill I'm a loyal fan. Your awesome and deserve more recognition.
I can't explain how this song get me through the day with covid, mom under lockdown in nursing home and family so far apart. Thank you for reminding me God is all around!
Blending the pedal steel and the horns, the production on the recording is incredible. With the rich traditional country character of his voice and the soulful sound of the horns gives you something new to listen to even after repeated listens. Sturgill and his crew continue to move Country/Americana music forward while somehow not losing touch with their soul.
You tell 'em Sturgill! I love that you're not afraid to speak your mind in your music!
My Mother died last October and I every time I here this song I can feel her presence with me. The second verse touches my soul. This song helped me through so much. Thank You Sturgill.
My parents passed close together. This song helped me so much.
I don't know if this message will ever reach you Sturgill Simpson but I would like to say thank you you have no idea how close to home that song it is to me thank you for that beautiful tune and keep putting them out like that brother God bless you and may Joy be in your life forever
I love my dad. He's gone now, but I still love him. I get to have that feeling every day because I know he loved me -- making me love him more. And that grows and goes on and on and on...
And he loved you for eternity ❤️
This video made me cry. I hope and pray love will prevail in America.
AMEN
We're in a dark place right now. But the sun will shine again. Love will win in the end.
@@cjskayakfishing6108 Thank you for the encouraging words. Wishing peace to you and yours.
Me too fellow human.
@@simplyhuman3982 We're all in this together.
sturgill is playing chess while most other country singers are playing checkers
Sturgill is SoFlo confirmed
bewbies1 sturgill’s playing chess while the others are finger painting with one hand and digging for gold with the other
Well said for sure
more like tic tac toe they are playing not checkers
bewbies1, my friend, why limit sturgil to just country music? this guy is a master of music. once in a life time talent...
My father past away Friday September 28th. I spent that night searching CZcams for a song that expressed the love my father I have for 1 another. I couldn't find anything. Saturday when I went to pick up my brother to go to the funeral home I turned my pandora on and this was the first song to pop up. I cried like a child. Its perfect and I listen to alot of sturgill Simpson and have nvr heard this song till then. Thank you for this beautiful song.
turbski tahoe Try ‘Hero’ by Sturgill. An amazing song too. Condolences
God works in mysterious ways. Not 2 months later I found out my girlfriend is pregnant. And now my baby is 8 months old and she has a angel kiss birth mark. God is good god is great.
Also hero is a great song. I'm glad I'm part of the underground and listen to these ppl over skinny Jean cuntry music.
Your dad loved you and this was his way of showing you at the right time 🙏❤️
I'm tripping alone on acid right now, I just started climbing and stergils' gonna show me the way through. God I love your music
How did it go? Did you see the angels/demons? I always feel half retarded half enlightened for a few days after a real good one.
🍻 too that. I recently did that for the first time. It wasn't bad. But weird? Fn awesomeness was more like what I experienced. Will do again. Just don't know when I can unfortunately.
Hell yes
@@lerch400block Angels and demons? Damn. I just saw pretty colors and wanted to love everything.
Did you make it outta that cloud son? Lmao
If you don't like this song D O N T L I S T E N. let this man express his views through his beautiful music
This man writes life changing music.
Was just listening to the bluegrass version . This is such a beautiful tune . This guy is so talented . Just what we need during these difficult times
I love the bluegrass version so much.
Wait, there’s a bluegrass version!? Must check it out. I love this song. It’s going to be our dance song at our wedding.
The bluegrass version is everything. I came here to read comments though because they're turned off on that version for some reason.
I loved his song Turtles All The Way Down, that is what brought me here. This song made me bawl like a little baby, but in a great way 💗 I appreciate the universal wisdom Sturgill put into his music. Music can be Medicine for the soul🌬🎼
Such an amazing talent
Which of his songs is your favorite?
If I was in a pub, and this song was playing on the jukebox, I would do what I have done many times in the past. I would move to the middle of the empty floor, close my eyes, and rock my hips to this rhythm. I would pretend I was alone. Maybe put my hands behind my back and 2-step in a wide circle....
We don’t need partners to dance. Just do it. It’s really liberating.
(I have a dozen or more dance trophies but nothing feels as good as when I am dancing to music and lyrics that are viscerally haunting)
Sturgill Simpson speaks the truth... the ugly and the beauty..he moves us because he "ain't talking no shit"and he and his band are talented enough to remove us all from the ordinary, the drudgery for just a few moments and it's so pure that it transforms you for a bit if you let it...otherwise if you don't get it..you just haven't lived enough...but you will
This song is telling the story of my recently diseased ... "deceased" ... deceased cat sending me a message that we will always have a bond that can never be taken away.
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
One hell of a voice, song, and video.
Youth is our only hope. Teach 'em young and make 'em strong.
Keep it going, Sturgill. I'll keep coming along for the ride.
No idea how this song didn't get released as a single. It's amazing.
This is a beautiful and powerful song and video! Everybody say love. If you look at this from the perspective of a father singing to his son (which is what it is, as the album is a love letter to his baby boy), the imagery makes sense (at least to me). We live in rocky times right now and and to me this is him telling his son that he is always with him and as his son moves in the world to choose love and kindness and not hate. I feel the imagery is just reflective of our current environment. As a mother I completely understand and relate to this song. I have been a fan of Sturgill's for a while and I wish him continued success. He's worked hard and is super talented. His success is very well deserved!
Precisely!
He is so badass! Love Sturgill
This guy is phenomenal! Sadly, I've been missing out! Just discovered Sturgill and OMG! I'm in love with his music!
When music is more than a rhythm, more than a lyric it becomes medication this is medicine for a weary soul
More people should listen to this song now more than ever.
This song plays every 2 hours at my local Starbucks. I take my headphones off and listen whenever I hear it come on over the loudspeakers while I'm studying. Go Sturgill!
He’s the most solid proof of what the music “industry” is... just an industry
I thank whatever/whoever is out there, that we in 2020, have some influence and power to help give someone like Sturgill the credibility and exposure he deserves.
I hope he continues to transcend music into the more universal realm that we all understand
“God is inside you, all around you and up above” ❤️
Well that was cathartic.
Woody, I am gonna miss you but I know you are forever in my heart. My dear brother life without you will never be the same. I love you, Rest in peace.
Penny Page I said those same words about my brother too. 6 years now & I miss him even more. Big hugs 💙
@@langaaskessler much love back at ya!
Penny I Know you have a Big heart and I bet your brother looking down and smiling knowing his life was much richer with you in his life. love you Penny
I know one of his family members, one of the greatest men I've ever met.from where he came from to where he is. Today. A grandfather passed a few months ago and I was fortunate enough to see the family together, playing together
The words of this song are pure power. He has IT, his voice, his music and his whole attitude is everything!!
This man is the GOAT...or I just love his music that much.
Brandi Creech arguably the best singer/songwriter in the States right now. Just underrated
@@tclott316 hahaha he's good, but not Springsteen good. And last time I checked Bruce personified America.
Dave O I never said anything about Springsteen
I didn't say you did, I was simply letting you know who the "Goat"is.
So effectively you did mention him.
I need more music like this! This song takes me to another magical place...
This one has sealed my fate of being in awe of this true blue artist. What a great song, voice, music and lyrics. ..thanks for the intro, Ben u rock like always..
Man... this dude has got some soul.
"All Around You"
There will be days
When the sun won't shine
When it seems like the whole world is against you
Don't be afraid
Life is unkind
You can let go of the pain if you choose to
Cause time slips away
Skies fall apart
It ain't too hard
A universal heart
Glowing, flowing, all around you
There will be nights that go on forever
Like you're long-lost at sea
Never to be found
Just know in your heart
That we're always together
And long after I'm gone
I'll still be around
Cause our bond is eternal
And so is love
God is inside you
All around you
And up above
Cause time slips away
Skies fall apart
It ain't too hard
A universal heart
Glowing, flowing, all around you
Writer: John Simpson
Performed by Sturgill Simpson
Best song on the album!
I personally prefer 'Welcome to Earth' the instrumentals on that song are amazing, but this is a close second.
Pollywog worked for me because it was pure sincere emotion. I can't name an artist this year who was able to capture such pure emotion without it appearing corny.
agree
'Keep it Between the Lines'
Sweet Melody in my ears, Thank you for sharing this Sturgill! I'm happy you decided to leave that railroad car career and take a chance with your music! Thanks to your wife for supporting your passion as well!
Just know in your heart, that we're always together. And long after I'm gone, still be around. Cause our bond is eternal, and so is love. God is inside you. all around you and up above. Knowing, showing you the way.
So thankful there are still real artists out there like Sturgill, Tyler Childers , Colter Wall, and some others . Wonderful Song!!
I haven't heard a song by him that I don't like. Damn he's so amazing and I can relate to so many of his songs. Also very easy on the eyes.
Love love love the Van Morrison influence❤
Beautiful!!!! Close your eyes and his voice just takes you away......
glad u got that Grammy. keep them coming. lots of luv in Arizona ♡♡♡♡♡♡
I hear country music like this and wonder how Sam Hunt and Florida Georgia Line are as popular as they are.
This is the best
We think the same
Because some people are only drawn to pablum, and others want their music to be complex and evocative. It has become an American value to not be interested in thinking, and to deride anything that presents anything even slightly intellectual.
This country music? Since when? .Good song but NOT country. .
@@PK-bh1ww More so than any fgl, Keith urban, Brantley Gilbert, Luke Brian or Sam hunt or anything considered country nowadays will ever be. They might have one decent good song a piece, but he has whole albums worth. There is no comparison really.
Beautiful!!! Thank you for voicing the light and love in our hearts whose time has come to be acknowledged.
Such a beautiful song sung with a relaxing voice
After Dwight left us thank God for Sturgil.
one of my favorites!! 😍 love sturgill!!
Powerful visuals to an incredible song from an album that is an absolute masterpiece. Never let them pigeonhole you.
I can't explain what sturgill music has done for me and too.I'm so proud that we a re both from Kentucky.his work will touch anyone that listens to it.he is a movement
Just bought two tickets to see him in Austin in September! Fuck yes!
I lovee this 💖
Makes me wanna cry but smile...I miss my dad so much
Just love this ! My late hubby was a big fan , played this at his funeral 💔 very fitting 🥲
so great
Greatest artist of the century
Dammit son!! I agree 💯
This album had me in tears on a few tracks. This masterpiece was one of them. How could this have a dislike is beyond my comprehension......
This is one of the best albums ever made by human beings.
He is awesome, my modern day Van Morrison, music 🎵🎶 and lyrics. Love ❤️
YES!!!!!
Yessss!🩷
And so is love
God is inside you
All around you
And up above
Timmy Nguyen i loved that part too..i had to look up the lyrics too make sure what i heard..amen..GOD is all around us
Jesse Carson Fuck god
Somebody was triggered.
But this wasn't no ordinary ni***, he stood about 6 or 7 feet. Now that's the type of ni**a that I be seeing in my sleep. Man homie, my mind is playing tricks on me.
did you feel just like a fiend?
As of right this moment. There are. 486 people who hate all things good apparently. One of the greatest singer/songwriters...ever. love his sound and artistic capacity. Making Kentucky proud Sturgil. And I'm from Tennessee lol
I'm not religious at all and this is still one of my favorite songs of all time. So fuckin good
Powerful...thank you👍
Love this so much
So proud that he is from my home state of Kentucky.
I'm not from Kentucky but I understand. And this is so awesome. I've been with my wife for 13 years and this whole album fits. Fn priceless.
So is Billy Ray Cyrus .......lol
Regular waffle house music can't fuck with this
gtfo
Lmao
LittleBodyBigHeart bugdrtg
someone doesn't understand the lyrics
not exactly easy to do the way he sings. his stuff is great but i wish he didn't sing with his mouth closed.
What a beautiful song, strictly "real country" swing heartbreak and joy from the opening notes. And such a simple story told in a muted, almost hand-colored B&W video. Wonderful. Thanks for uploading! Plus a great saxophone! We need a super-hero kid right now to push the war machine overboard, and let love shine. Says a lot about our current political climate. We need more singers like Sturgill to take a stand in such a profound way. His message can't be denied.
My young Son and his Mother just moved 2000 miles away. This song is keeping me going. I send my Son this song everyday. I told him to pay attention to the words, because they are important. I truly believe that I owe Sturgill Simpson a great debt for making this song. The lyrics are a perfect expression of how I feel. Thank you Sturgill Simpson!!!
Follow your son. He needs you
Heartbreaking that someone can take your child that far away 🥲 just know in your heart your always together my friend ❤️❤️❤️
@@scottm6188 thank you for your comment. An amazing thing has happened and my Son moves in with me next week. He will live with me primarily. My biggest wish has came true!
@@laurencezemlick1979 I have two other Sons that live here that I would have had to take away from their family and I couldn’t do that to them. Luckily my Son moves in with me permanently next week. I now have all 3 of my boys! 🥲
@@mattkeith1180 this makes me soooo happy .. what a relief brother .. no better feeling in the world .. I have two sons .. one is 16 and the other is 27 .. they are my everything.. no better bond then a father and son
NEW STURGILL MUSIC! !!!!!!
Well...it's been out for almost a year now. New video, but not new music. ;-)
You're going to use that word under a video about love overcoming hate? C'mon.
Scott Toney Sorry, bad mood. But yeah, I am.
you should buy the record... there is probably a lot of "new" music on it for you to discover!
sing it Sturgill...you music get's me right in the feels.....
Lost the love of my life a week ago. This song is now on replay. Makes me feel better
This such a beautiful song and fantastic video!💜
This is breathtaking. I just discovered this yesterday, when my child said "this is for you mom". I lost him 6 months ago, this describes his life and who he was in every way. Since he was a baby, we called him my brightest star. Look how God works, many who just lost a child finds this song. God is singing to our hearts, letting us know He is with us and so are our children
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother two days ago and this made me think of him. Much love.
@Beverly666 what is your point?
He is with you for eternity ❤️❤️❤️
I love this guys music. So damn good.
Didnt really listen to country other than old songs that rang beautifully in my head as a child. But this man has given me a deep love for Country music of late. I have listened to this album and similar work and sound non stop and I know why. Cause its AMAZING. His voice and lyrics speak to a piece of me that looks for peace and comfort in sound. Either something to relate to. Smoke to. Or enjoy life and ponder on this man hasnt done me wrong yet. Great great artist and surprisingly under appreciated. Next album is gonna be ❄
