Band, The - I Shall Be Released Lyrics






They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall

I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

    They say everything can be replaced
    They say every distance is not near
    So I remember every face
    Of every man who put me here

    I see my light come shining
    From the west down to the east
    Any day now, any day now
    I shall be released

    They say every man needs protection
    They say that every man must fall
    Yet I swear I see my reflection
    Somewhere so high above this wall

    I see my light come shining
    From the west down to the east
    Any day now, any day now
    I shall be released

    Now, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
    A man who swears he's not to blame
    All day long I hear him shouting so loud
    Just crying out that he was framed

    I see my light come shining
    From the west down to the east
    Any day now, any day now
    I shall be released

  7. O.... T....

    One big 🎼family! 💫

  9. D.... O....

    Neil young is outta his tree

  10. C.... B....

    I made a version of this song. I hope you enjoy it as much I did playing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxdBZMOgIbA

  11. B.... ....

    Why hasn’t anyone I’ve ever known talked about this

    B.... ....

    that is one of the best facets of music. discovery. now go find 'the last waltz.'

  12. J.... M....

    Neil Young smiling...priceless

  13. R.... R....

    I would have given anything to be there that night but I was just a kid. What an amazing concert!!!

  14. B.... ....

    Dylan should only be doing harmonies it would’ve been so much better

  15. T.... G....

    One of the first song I learned in guitar,along with "My back pages"

  16. R.... i....

    Lump on my throat. Seen this movie 100 times or more, and it always affects me. What talent I thank Sorese for making this concert history

  17. T.... T....

    Love love love this song on this day 20/12/2019...forever timeless music....

  18. T.... B....

    Man, they *all* sound like Zimmy!

  19. S.... ....

    Is Manuel on the piano

  20. P.... M....

    What happens when you look up the right skirts in the wrong direction.

  21. R.... ....

    One of the best songs ever written not to mention the line up in this clip.

  22. �.... ....

    キリスト様は 内面宇宙
    アラーの神は 一番の美男子だ
    戦いようのない空間と時間

  23. R.... S....

    Dylan is a god damn poet

  24. A.... D....

    The Band was one cool group of gifted musicians. Real talent.

  25. W.... S....

    Omg, beautiful...sad

    W.... S....

    so much talent in one place

  26. L.... A....

    Ha ha if you ever wanna see someone absolutely coked to the gills, Neil's your man.

  27. L.... A....

    RIP Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Dr. John, Bobby Charles, Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, Pinetop Perkins, and Pops, Cleotha & Yvonne Staples. And big bad Bill Graham too...

  28. C.... B....

    Bob Dylan is the undisputed best artist of all time FULL STOP.

  29. M.... R....

    The way I heard it, Richard was getting less and less reliable, and they didn't expect him to hit the mark. When he started singing, everyone was surprised, and that's why Robbie waved the others off, to let Richard take it. Since they didn't expect him to sing, there was no camera shot set up, other than the wide one.

    M.... R....

    I re-watched that part after reading your comment. I can see RR waiving and others getting out of the way. The shot of Ringo looks like he is giving his respect. Thank you for pointing this out to me.

  30. A.... A....

    Bringing back the time when i was young....i was that movie in morocco...the last waltz

  31. A.... C....

    Serious stuff!

  32. M.... ....

    Enige tijd 👅

  33. K.... W....

    Gives me goosebumps every time, and how cool is Dylan's hat? Neill Young looks like he's bi-located from the Twilight Zone.

  34. A.... T....

    Now this is how you go out

  35. S.... U....

    *OREWA ZA HANDO GA*

  36. R.... C....

    Dylan sings at the upper range of the key and changes tempo shockingly. Both secrets to great music.

  37. R.... C....

    Watched Netflix Jacob Dylans Echo and wondering how they could possibly have missed The Band.. The best example of lovely melody that came from the rock, folk combination. It was there, just beneath the surface and all it needed was catching. The Band caught the biggest fish.

  38. R.... C....

    Theres more talent on this one stage than all of the pop artists of the past 10 years.......maybe 15.

  39. F.... Y....

    Bill Graham was really pissed that Robbie Robertson didn't thank him for putting such a huge effort in to producing the 'Last Waltz'.

  40. m.... j....

    excuse me for a moment ! I have something in my eye ..

  41. L.... K....

    Neil is high as a kite :-D

  42. J.... B....

    What always gets me is Robbie’s face after he says “no doubt about it”. He knew the toll it was taking on Rick, Levon, and especially Richard.

  43. C.... M....

    “It’s an impossible way of life”

  44. M.... S....

    The Band, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Wood, Ringo Starr, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, and on and on what a lineup.

  45. L.... R....

    I don’t think anybody in my generation will ever make a more cool and special moment than this one. I can only hope.

  46. M.... C....

    Greatest concert that ever was!

  47. G.... B....

    Puro incanto

  48. E.... W....

    I still listen to this music.

  49. E.... W....

    I just watched this, All I can say is WOW!!!!! What a gathering of talent. Wish we could go back to those good ole days when music was this good!!!!!

  50. A.... S....

    We'll all be released.

  51. M.... V....

    Ronnie woooood!

  52. S.... M....

    As a Old man watched this 100 times.
    The guy that looks like a fat che Guevara never moves his lips.
    Neil young off his tits.
    Woods n Starr all part of the system .
    Total bollocks

  53. B.... J....

    I sure miss all the ones that have gone on, and I sure pray that I will see them again in heaven. An miss sweet Etta James rip to all of them..

  94. D.... M....

    Definitely a great song one of the best

  95. S.... S....

    What a beautiful song and all that talent wow

  96. d.... ....

    The never used the original sound track when they filmed the movie. That prick robber Roberson had the whole thing recorded again in studio. And went on to screw his band mates. Jerk

  97. O.... ....

    I simply cannot watch this without crying

    O.... ....

    Because you know some back stories...and it always put you there.
    Regardless of who is singing it.

    O.... ....

    CooManTunes Ok but nobody asked you to be a fucking asshole. The reason they mentioned The Band is because it’s okay to cry to beautiful music.

    O.... ....

    François Gaspard That’s what you may believe, but during their time, The Band was just as, if not, maybe more important than The Stones, Dylan, and Clapton combined. The irony of the ignorance you display in your comment is baffling, considering that when The Band came out, they influenced all the bands/artists such as The Beatles, The Stones, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd/Roger Waters, etc to change up their style. The importance and influence of The Band is unrivaled.

    O.... ....

    Same here brother, youre not alone friend

    O.... ....

    @Paul Bryan The only pussies here are you guys that got triggered because someone experienced emotion from a song. Why so weak bro?
