Dear Hunter, The - His Hands Matched His Tongue Lyrics






A long walk home, riddled with regret
Uncommonly comfortable, but still I believe
That in time I think I'll see just what's been weighing down on me
An unearthy void collapsed, exposing what was trapped
To release this serendipitous design

The smell of smoke, the evening sky was proof
Belated conversation saturate anticipation for the answers that simply won't come

But not I, I won't ask
Forget my place amongst the grass
The leaves and the trees remember me
And in my naivety it might be seen
The pail has leaks and even if
You put all your water into it
You end up with nothing left to drink
The well has gone dry and I with it

Oh, someday she'll be gone
Oh, someday she'll be gone
Oh, someday she'll be gone
Oh, someday she'll be gone

(We'll still have her song to sing)

Sing softly, bring me to the lake
Sing softly, sing me to the lake

Dear Hunter, The His Hands Matched His Tongue Comments
  1. R.... H....

    It’s 2019 and I still find myself belting this song at the top of my lungs at 2am while driving. Incredible.

    R.... H....

    Can confirm that this is a thing. As the boyfriend of the user posting this, we can't stand but to try. My boyfriend (this user) can hold the crazy long note, and I thought Casey was an alien when I first heard this version of the song. Apparently people can do it.

    IDK if you'll see this, but OP, can you reiterate the story behind this? I tried to tell him but was probably inaccurate.

  2. S.... F....

    Casey's voice always kinda reminds me of Andy Hull

  3. C.... M....

    I wish more people would actually take my suggestions for talented artists more seriously and would want to listen to what I think is a fantastic experience to listen. His voice alone brings so much power and emotion and it's almost like you are living the tale within the Acts. This artist will always be my favorite artist of all time.

  4. R.... M....

    Wow that was fucking amazing. That ending absolutely blew me away!!

  5. N.... R....

    Does anyone know how his guitar is tuned here? Is it just standard E?

    N.... R....

    Looks like it. Looks like he's taking the same chord shape without (many?) open frets and sliding up the neck to hit different chords in the scale.

    N.... R....

    Yes standard E

    N.... R....

    He’s also playing a twelve string so it might be a bit off

  6. N.... C....

    This song probably one of my favorites by them (even after all this time).
    Please check out my music as well!

    My genre varies from song to song, but I hope you like it nonetheless.
    Thank you!

    His Hands Matched His Flip-Flops

  8. M.... ....

  9. R.... ....

    love Casey tbh. so much love and talent in his music

  10. i.... ....

    fuck it i'll just hold 1 note through the entire chorus

  11. D.... A....

    I'm back, watching this again two years later. And I see I have the top comment. Glad Casey's talent is recognized.

  12. P.... ....

    A private house show ? What is that actually?

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

    Amazing. Thank you very much for sharing.

  14. T.... ....

    Guys here we have real life footage of the actual Jesus Christ himself

  15. Q.... P....

    L🎸O💕V E🎶•

  16. E.... H....

    I find it ironic that he doesn't sing softly at the end.

  17. M.... B....

    what chords are those

  18. D.... E....

    That long note. Wow.

  19. J.... C....

    YOU'RE MAKING ME INSECURE STOP THIS!

  20. s.... ....

    Beautiful and powerful... Could listen to this all day

  21. C.... H....

    When I hear this song
    I feel like I want to marry you Casey! <3

    C.... H....

    Ain't into guys and yet I know what you mean.

  22. J.... ....

    BLOWS MY MIND EVERY TIME. HOLY SHIT!

  23. S.... P....

    Can anyone hint at what tuning he's playing this in? Sounds great in open D, but the shapes are different to his :) Thanks xx

    S.... P....

    Looks like it's just standard.

    S.... P....

    Most of The Dear Hunter's stuff is in standard.

    S.... P....

    Sarah Passmore I think it’s standard but, he’s also playing a 12 string so

  24. J.... L....

    Absolutely amazing.

  25. A.... C....

    <3 Amazing

  26. �.... �....

    Chords someone? Please

    �.... �....

    The beginning part are diatonic sixths and the chords look like a E7 sus to E7. He wraps his thumb around to mute the low E though, creating a pedal with the 5th.

  27. S.... L....

    I can watch this video a hundred times a day and still be amazed by his voice and musical talent.

    S.... L....

    I come back to this video from time to time and I'm amazed like watching it for the first time. Fucking love this rendition of the song Geo! So good Geo, so good. I dig it Stefanie, I dig it

    S.... L....

    Me too, Toots McGoots. Me too.

  28. F.... O....

    does anybody have tab for this version? I have found the tab for the picked album version, but the chords don't translate to the strumming. unless he has a sneaky tuning change from standard. thanks in advance!

  29. C.... ....

    I kinda hope these guys don't get super famous because shows like this won't ever really happen because people will be all stalking him and shiz.

  30. J.... S....

    This guy is legit !! Been a fan of this dude for a while now. Huge talent. Respect

  31. M.... W....

    Awesome! From which album is this song from? Previously released? Thanks!

    M.... W....

    Act I: The Lake South, The River North

  32. D.... A....

    The world doesn't even understand the musical talent that is Casey Crescenzo

    D.... A....

    No one He is referring to vocal and writing talent

    D.... A....

    I dont think anyone would really say his guitar playing is amazing, it is rather average. But his vocal delivery, lyrical genius and musical composition, is off the charts.

    D.... A....

    People need to understand it makes no sense to compare this. His guitar sklls are the best for the kind of music he is writing. He does not shred or play power chords in 250 BPM becuase he CHOOSES NOT TO, not because he is "bad at guitarL. Get it through your skulls, people.

    D.... A....

    What are you guys on? Casey is an unbelievable guitar player. It's not highlighted here, because this song doesn't call for it. But there are plenty of videos of him shredding and soloing. Check out the video I got of him soloing WHILE singing in LATR

    D.... A....

    @David Silver lmao. Was thinking the same thing. These dudes have obviously not seen his live solos.

  33. F.... D....

    BONNERS <3

  34. J.... ....

    Holy shit. Amazing.

  35. k.... ....

    Just saw Casey play this last Monday here in Utah. So happy there is a good quality recording of this to show to people.

  36. K.... K....

    the real deal, ladies and gentlemen. seen him and the dear hunter live 5 times now both in small and large venues. sing softly, bring me to the lake.

    K.... K....

    damn you are lucky dude, i guess i will never get to see em here in italy :<

  37. B.... L....

    Jesus Christ, I almost pissed myself at 3:28. That note is just so damn incredible.

  38. S.... R....

    Correct me if im wrong but from what I remember years back is his mom is or was an opera singer. Makin momma proud? Anyways I miss when he was in t.r.e.o.s, yuh nuhh . . The receiving end of sirens. Treos also said for singers which it was. Man it broke my heart when he left.

  39. I.... ....

    Casey...incredible...

  40. C.... J....

    3:28 to 3:52...seriously?! A full 24 seconds with that kind of range? Wow

    C.... J....

    +Brunex92 Good find! It seems being a fool isn't so bad after all

    C.... J....

    lol do you know how you learn how to sing? you hit the notes all day literally all day within a week your better than this guy (if your good enough to sing white chapel)

    C.... J....

    reminds me of Maynard James Keenan's 24 second scream on The Grudge

    C.... J....

    Someone pumps some air up his ass. Otherwise impossible

    C.... J....

    Fucking brilliant musician! Such talent!

  41. A.... R....

    seriously. Wow. 

  42. A.... G....

    Sounds as if he's recording the track right there in the house. So raw and amazing :)

  43. J.... B....

    Holy crap Casey. That lung strength tho! :)

  44. J.... T....

    WOW, that super long note he hit was amazing.. Casey has been my favorite singer for some time now.

    J.... T....

    do you even sing or play music? judas priest is simple man.

    J.... T....

    do you believe that? you've been taught wrong by this guy

    J.... T....

    its about how hard you try, not how little you can get away with

    J.... T....

    No one  You seem to have a problem with people who appreciate Casey's talent.

    J.... T....

    feel free to show us your immense talent, i´m sure no one is a pseudonym for a great world famous musician. glad that we got to know you, we don´t deserve it though.
