The Stable Song

I listened to this song on the bus to and from work when I lived in Ireland. We would pass quays and cross bridges, pass through forested areas and it was beautiful, even on a gloomy day. And Gregory helped me soak it in and hold it in my mind and heart. Thanks, Gregory. Your music is such genius.

"I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell" needs to be tattooed on me ASAP

Does anyone hear this song playing in the most perfect old wooden house? A house of quiet magic and peace. Where it's cold outside but always warm inside. Where you're loved, even if no one is there at all

I am Venezuelan and I use the google translator, I just wanted to say and I hope you understand, the beautiful music you have.

If I could choose a song to describe or be played in the background of the journey of meeting myself, this would be it. I cant even begin to describe what this song means to me. It has carried me to ends I could never go in terms of feeling. Gregory is one of the very few artists whom I have discovered on my own and truly the first one whose art made me realize the actual power of music like noone else has before. Every note, every word, every second of the song...is written, composed, played and sung SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFULLY I cant even- . It STAYS with u. It makes me cry every. single. time. I feel soo soo grateful to be born in the same world at the same time as him and to have found his art. Will cherish it forever. Also not to forget the INSANELY beautiful and incredible The Colorado Symphony. They just took the song to an unimaginable level of beauty.

You know what Gregory, I do remember when our songs were indeed like prayers

Remember when our songs were just like prayers Like gospel hymns that you called in the air Come down, come down, sweet reverence Unto my simple house and ring And ring Ring like silver, ring like gold Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio Ring like clear day wedding bells Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell We’ll never tell Come to me, clear and cold, on some sea Watch the world spinning waves, mad machine Now I’ve been crazy couldn’t you tell I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell Now I’m covered up in straw, belly up on the table Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable That tall grass grows high and brown Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground And you sent me back to where I roam Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know Now I know And I ran back to that hollow again The moon was just a sliver back then And I ached for my heart like some tin man When it came, oh it beat, and it boiled, and it rang Oh it's ringing Ring like crazy, ring like hell Turn me back into that wild haired gale Ring like silver, ring like gold Turn these diamonds straight back into coal Turn these diamonds straight back into coal

Words can not describe what this song means to me. It's so deep and I don't even know how but it nails on the head things I can't even talk about. Now that is art.

Sometimes I just need this music. It's medicine to my soul. That I really just can't get anywhere else in life. Not even close, nothing else delivers it to me in the same way that this can and does for me. I have my other routes for peace, mediation, emotion, escape, beauty, and sometimes just the need to feel so sadly alone and broken. Letting each string he plays come to you with that voice. It ultimately tells me no matter what I've been through, or where I've been, or even where im going. The sun will set this evening. The nights sky will glorify the beauty within God's universe. And ultimately the morrow will come and the mighty warm sun will rise again, warming my skin and soul.

My correct opinion is I believe this song to be among the best songs ever written and recorded by anyone ever

My sister passed away and she showed me this song before now this is all I want to listen to while I’m in fucking tears. Cherish your loved ones you never know when there last day may be..

This song was featured briefly in the movie Peanut Butter Falcon.... great song, great movie 😁

This has been my favorite song for years. His music just brings me life and soothes my soul.

Awesome song to listen too while driving down a lone road at sunset with your hand out the window and your hair swaying with the breeze

This song makes me feel so much, so deeply. The harmonies course through my soul and bring to tears. My fiance thinks I'm crazy, he doesn't hear what I hear. But I don't care. The levels and depth and richness touch my heart and make me feel at home when I listen to it

This song is just so beautiful. I want my life to be as utterly amazing as this song sounds

I wish I lived somewhere as beautiful as this song sounds.

Sometimes listening to this music and writing comments just give me the reassurance in life when I at the lowest of the low. Thank you everyone for your articulate and magical words. Cheers to music lovers 🤌

I ached for my heart, like some tin man. I’m in awe that someone was able to put in words how I have been feeling. After depression and anxiety and ptsd and one shitty relationship to the next and trying to overcome addiction... I could never explain what I was feeling and somehow, this guy just did. This sounds corny probably but he just saved me in ways y’all will never know.

Listening to this song on a hot and humid summer night, but this song invites the feeling of a crisp October night that whispers for the starry sky to come look at everyone perched around the campfire. Songs can make us all time travelers, even if it’s a journey in our minds.
