Gregory Alan Isakov - Idaho Lyrics
Down in the bardo
There was nothing to hold so we let it go
We were empty, we were hollow
Shined with everything we were living for
Like some picture show
Across idaho
We were running through the autumn leaves
A couple kids just wearing out our jeans, running
Mary she’s our autumn queen
Watch her smoking cigarettes in the street
And down she goes
Cold she blows
And there’s lights up in the north
And I ain't wondering where you are
Yeah just lights up in the north
Now it’s white as snow
Watch the evening glow
Across idaho

Gregory Alan Isakov Idaho Comments
dont know why but listened to this song on a repeat loop for hours last week.its awesome!
My soul.
What we call this type of music please ?
Indie Folk
@anythingauthenticmusic thank you sooo much
The house makes me think of "My Own Private Idaho" casting River Phoenix.
A favorite song of mine! So soothing yet mentally stimulating. This song is always on repeat at work :)
So glad I found Gregory Alan Isakov! Great music
Purple Sweet Potatoes
Melodious Song
#Masterpiece
Pure Americana and melancholic genius.
Gregory Alan Isakov always ✨🎧🎶
I recently just moved to Post Falls from rural Indiana with my fiance. This song captures so much of the rustic melon-colic beauty of this place. Even though I am homesick this places has its own attraction and I hope it doesn't grow too big to lose that feel.
I want to go home to Idaho.
zero the killer me too and I’ve never been there
I was born and raised in Idaho. I just recently moved to Minnesota not half as pretty, or fun, but I guess it will do for now
This man's music makes me feel emotions I thought were long dead
I'm with you there Wes, What I love about his songs is they are like great books where we all relate to them but differently based upon our own life experiences. Same song for you and I but totally different meanings. This song reminds me of running through fields with my first GF when we were very young. Those perfect golden days. His music brings me to a place no substance or bottle can bring me. We are truly blesses to have this man capturing and writing these words. A true Bard.
@Jason Grant you couldn't be more correct
bar·do
noun
(in Tibetan Buddhism) a state of existence between death and rebirth, varying in length according to a person's conduct in life and manner of, or age at, death.
LoneScript thank you you made the song even better by explaining that 🖤

Very interesting. I always thought the opening of "Second Chances:"
All of my heroes sit up straight
They stare at the ground
They radiate
were a Buddhist / meditation reference.
I wonder how idaho is so connected with folk singers. Its so much lovely to see
My heart breaks when I hear his music I thought this kind of quality was lost
c.b your heart shouldn't break, it should rejoice
Not trying to hate or anything, but you spelt Idaho wrong...
Good comment though
I was 4 years in relation with my Girlfriend and now we are separate , but every day and every time when I am listening this song my eyes full of tears , cos Still Love Her .
Wish you Guys a lot of love and keep yours Love Couples.
Eu estou simplesmente apaixonada 😍 Como nunca te ouvi antes?..
Qualquer coisa que ele canta fica incrivelmente fantástico. Ouço o Gregory há 2 anos e não consigo parar.
@Lucas Souto É maravilhoso!
Those double A's in the picture are really irritating. It's like: here's a really beautiful picture that I'm going to ruin for your trolling pleasure.
My guess is the photo is copyright. You can see the photo here: https://www.wallpaperup.com/uploads/wallpapers/2014/03/10/294496/ccd772137c1cfe9600cfedd90bee6ea4.jpg
Great going, dude!
Wow. Only 42 comments? Well, 43 now. It’s only a matter of time before he starts selling out shows in big venues.
Idaho will forever have my heart- no matter where I end up eventually.
Ahhh. This song feels like home. Cozy, home.
Favorite GAI song.. the synesthesia really hits during this track
Mmmhmm. I FEEL this.
This song is so Good...I miss the states!
Listened to this on a continual loop for about an hour. Like the state itself, this song fills my soul.
I just heard this song for the first time yesterday and I love it. It just SOUNDS like Idaho, my beautiful home.
Hearing this song and reading y'all's comments has put Idaho further up my list to visit.
this man makes me to continue living
Leaving my longtime home tomorrow to live in Idaho for a long while. I hope it's worth it.
Well, i've never lived in Idaho but from the things i've heard about and seen, it sure looks like one masterstroke of a move for you...and i hope it all works out well for you. Sure looks picturesque.
Did you make it safe to idaho? If so, are you still here and how has it been for you. Lived here for 15 years. No other state like it. Its truly a gem.
You've got about two thirds of a song already written here! How's it going in Idaho?
@Ryan Kapalczynski I did! It's been great here. Although I miss my home, everything is much more feasible here. From buying food to work, from meeting new people to relaxing, I'm enjoying myself.
@Martha Brown I've considered writing a song about it haha. It's going great. A wonderful place to keep a family safe and happy. People are extremely nice here, more than many places I've lived so far.
I listened to this over and over from Salmon to Orofino. Just beautiful
Im from salmon!
ket'
em die
Music for memories. I think of driving through Ririe...
"Music for memories" that's beautiful.
Hiking through the Sawtooths for me
Down in the bardo
there was nothing to hold so we let it go
we were empty, we were hollow
shined with everything we were living for
and you see your soul
like some picture show
across Idaho
we were running through the autumn leaves
a couple kids just wearing out our jeans, running
Mary she’s our autumn queen
watch her smoking cigarettes in the street
and down she goes
cold she blows
across Idaho
and there’s lights up in the north
and I ain't wondering where you are
yeah just lights up in the north
now it’s white as snow
watch the evening glow
across Idaho
Thanks.
Hermosa rola!
Just here reppin the great North Idaho ❤️
I'm from Idaho and I really need to make a video for this song...nothing on YouTube comes close to capturing Idaho
Yes, please!
I agree with your point, but be careful, we don't want too many people coming here.
I lived there for some time when I was young, I have since moved to Hawaii and I hate it here. It’s hot, and it’s “the place to be”... I could care less. I want mountains and pine trees and rivers and fly fishing until you can’t see your hand in front of your face cause it’s so dark. I hope to move back when I graduate next year, because I feel like it will always be home to me.
The Palisades.
I just shared it in our music-listening group! Pure awesomeness !
Thanks for sharing!
I can't believe how awesome these guys are
pure beauty
