Jakob Dylan | NPR Tiny Desk Concert Series

One of my favorite albums of 2010 was Jakob Dylan’s Women and Country, it has an organic, rustic feeling to it that reminds me of his dad’s classic album Desire. This performance from last year around the albums release date is one of those performances that I go back to every now and again. The track that sticks to me is the second track they play, Everybody’s Hurtin’ |

Faith is believing what you ain’t so
My sweetheart we’ve got to learn to live with these ghosts
They can’t leave and we can’t go|

We’d sell this valley if we could go up north
Where the sun sets dripping buckets of gold
Through snow topped thunderheads and rows of wind
clouds|

Coming down this mountain how sweet salvation sounds
With our hands out like lowly pilgrims
As the old men death salute the young ones in|
Already know what we’re just learning
That’s everybody
Everybody’s hurting|
