Greta Van Fleet - Meet On The Ledge Lyrics






We used to say that come the day
We'd all be making songs
Or finding better words
These ideas never lasted long

The way is up along the road
The air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried
Blown off this mountain
With the wind

Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up I'll see all my friends

Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes 'round again

Now I see I'm all alone
But that's the only way to be
You'll have your chance again
Then you can do the work for me

Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up I'll see all my friends

Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes 'round again

Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up I'll see all my friends

Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes 'round again

We're gonna meet on the ledge
On the ledge
All comes 'round again
We're gonna meet on the ledge

Greta Van Fleet Meet On The Ledge Comments
  1. J.... ....

    Horrible version.

  2. H.... ....

    You guys suck balls. First "rockband" in history to rely on bots and mods to keep people from outing you for your shit.

  3. H.... ....

    What a fucking mockery of the original. None of the feeling, lots of posturing. Go fucking burn.

  4. E.... G....

    Which reminds me. I have some steak defrosting on the kitchen counter I almost forgot about. Rock saves the day again.

  5. N.... N....

    Great new version of the Fairport Convention song.👍

  6. E.... N....

    This song should be featured in the Winter Olympics!

  7. 6.... ....

    The year is 1969, the month November. I'm 16 years old listening to one of the local bands playing it in the town hall.
    Greta booted the arse out of it....Superb!

  8. D.... P....

    check out counting crows' version.....

  9. j.... p....

    Very, very welcome band! Dynamite version!!😁😋

  10. F.... m....

    I wish them to become fucking popular. How to help them?

  11. J.... T....

    B L E T C H L E Y   bletchleyamps.com

  12. A.... B....

    I did not know that greta van fleet covered this song. I can't tell if I like this or the original yet

  13. A.... L....

    What a beautiful,moving rendition of this song!! Everything about it is perfection.

  14. I.... N....

    We are gonna meeet! on the ledgeeeee

  15. G.... C....

    This song makes me very emotional

    G.... C....

    That's what good music is supposed to do, and they mastered it....☮

    G.... C....

    I understand! As kids we talk about this,and as older now my two Brothers and 1/4 of my Mom are watching over the Southern part of AZ. What a BEAUTIFUL site it is...I will join them,It's written down,but only a little bit of me. Until we all met again.

  16. S.... B....

    Can't get enough of these guys, listen to this all the time. Where are others who are playing REAL music?!

  17. d.... ....

    Meat and two veg reproduced again. Old Fairport Convention song A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

  18. S.... ....

    They are IMPRESSIVE

  19. S.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VteuWD_dIdk&t=270s

  20. R.... J....

    Just listened them today and I'm a new fan now!!!

  21. 1.... N....

    All songs are f a n t a s t i c

  22. V.... M....

    La primera vez que lo escucho y lo ame

  23. W.... C....

    Thank you gvf, we waited 30 years for this

  24. S.... S....

    Hey, hey, my, my
    Rock and roll can never die

    S.... S....

    Rock ~ N~ Roll is here to stay❣

  25. T.... ....

    what if these guys are like secretly a government operation to make music so good that it pleases mother nature enough to not kill us

  26. W.... C....

    i think it's a cover,but not shure

  27. M.... Y....

    Que gran version !!!! excelente Greta.

  28. S.... M....

    What an underrated song!!!

  29. G.... ....

    They need to make more songs like this. I think the double EP is way better than the debut album.

  30. B.... M....

    and for those unaware, the 1968 original: https://youtu.be/avX5VlU7MXM

  31. F.... G....

    At least when they do covers, I can't accuse them of plagierism.

  32. w.... ....

    I hope Richard Thompson is still getting royalties from his music!

    w.... ....

    He's likely seeing more royalties than he has for years.

  33. D.... L....

    Bit of trivia: Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention was the only guest singer to ever appear on a Led Zeppelin song (Battle of Evermore). Hopefully this cover will turn more young people on to Fairport Convention. Check out their album Liege & Lief.

  34. b.... c....

    Unrated ☹️☹️☹️

  35. M.... F....

    This is like when Hall and Oates covered "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling". All of the hooks, none of the soul.

  36. R.... ....

    Рок жив !!!!!! Урааааа

  37. P.... ....

    please for the love of god. oh my god this is SHIT this is shit SHIT SHIT THIS IS SHIT SHIT SHIT .. OH FUCK no they didnt.THIS IS AWFUL.

  38. C.... M....

    Words cant describe my love for this band!!!

  39. L.... ....

    Something about 2:45 to 2:50 reminds me of Brave New World so much.

  40. L.... Q....

    Meet on the led zeppelin

    Just kidding, I'm sorry...

  41. J.... M....

    We're gunna meet on the ledge

  42. W.... A....

    Their album art though, man. Their graphic design team needs a cookie

  43. J.... M....

    Fan Freaking Tastic. These guys make me want to be back in Oakland, CA , remembering the days

  44. N.... S....

    Their most underrated song. Truly haunting and beautiful.

  45. J.... p....

    Talk about getting it wrong. This is a melancholic, wistful, complex thought-provoking song. It isn't a rock anthem. Write your own songs, don't ruin other people's.

    J.... p....

    Chill dude, this is a COVER is not to be like the original. Elitists like you are the worst.

  46. S.... B....

    Y’all are way too young to even think of lyrics such as this, although anything at any given time can happen. Remain young at heart.

  47. R.... C....

    The refrain is so beautiful, brings tears to my eyes every time.

  48. R.... W....

    Keep it up GVF......you r awesome!!!!!

  49. I.... i....

    😢❤

  50. M.... S....

    I love this song

  51. K.... ....

    Definetivily I was born in the right generation.

  52. A.... N....

    Clap, clap, clap. Wonderful, another band that will be iconic. How much time had to pass!

    A.... N....

    FUCK THESE LITTLE CUNTS . they haver no buisiness at all pretending to know this song, let alone record it. FAKE AS FUCK.

    A.... N....

    Sounds like they know it pretty well there chump

  53. c.... w....

    Live in Detroit. Had to meet someone on the ledge. Let him talk and listened. We agreed no. Most scared I ever was. Thought of this song when I dared to speak.

  54. H.... N....

    Wait, zeppelin and fairport had a baby????

  55. B.... M....

    For all the idiots who think they wrote this song. 🙄 https://youtu.be/avX5VlU7MXM

  56. J.... P....

    Wow, this is really good. And so hyper cool that near-teenagers are, in 2019, covering Fairport Convention. This is amazing.

    J.... P....

    it is fucking awful . these little shits ruined a good song that they have no buisiness covering.. i guess i cant really blame the little cunts , they were put up to it .

    J.... P....

    Mastered it...Did it JUSTICE...

  57. C.... O....

    That's it. I'm starting a band.

    C.... O....

    Just do it!!!

  58. M.... A....

    Gandalf and Zeppelin foretold the coming in days of old. A new age dawns with promise. A new generational band is here to take you to a new austral plain.

  59. Y.... M....

    The father is responsible for their extreme knowledge and education. He is likely a Freemason, or connected in some way. Doesn't matter, they have been educated, and it is not by "our" system. But what exceptional students they are. Thanks dad, you did a great job!

    Y.... M....

    And Mother😁 Good Parenting!!! People kids all need rules!!! But please let them Express their self's. And turn them on to good music.🎶🎵🎶☮ Out

    Y.... M....

    I only said Dad because he was stated to have been in a band and introduced them to music, sorry for the slight Mom!

    Y.... M....

    Or it could ha e something to do with their knowledge of FLAT EARTH

  60. O.... M....

    Love the Crosby Stills Nash & Young harmonizing at 3:18

  61. N.... F....

    SAW THEM ON SNL EARLIER & BAND IMPRESSED ME BUT VOCALS NOT SO MUCH. WAS STILL CURIOUS THO & CAME HERE TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER LISTEN. I'M NOW IMPRESSED. I THINK MAYBE THE SOUND WAS OFF ON THE LIVE SNL. THEY REALLY ARE VERY GOOD. I'LL KEEP LISTENING. I'LL KEEP LOOKING TOO. NICE LOOKING GUYS. TAKES ME BAK IN TIME FOR SURE.

    N.... F....

    Well yeah........this is a STUDIO recording with multi-tracks and editing. Not a Live performance.

    N.... F....

    @Ocean Master KNEW THAT. THANKS THO.

    N.... F....

    They sounded bad on SNL because josh was sick.

    N.... F....

    I think it was sound and nervous. But then again they don't Buckle under stress!!! Thank God!!!🎶🎵🎶

  62. c.... w....

    I'll meet anyone on The Ledge. I might throw you off it if the answers are unsatisfactory. Lots of tall buildings in Detroit

  63. L.... ....

    Heard Bryan Adams play this on BBC Radio 6 two nights ago and i've been hooked ever since! Amazing band

  64. R.... A....

    Excelente 👍🇧🇷

  65. T.... H....

    can they do the whole thing?Grammy time?whole album?

  66. D.... S....

    This Song brings tears to my eyes over and over again. If I hear this Song I Must think about the past of my life and my beautiful wife. She took there where i am now.......thank you greta van fleet for this feelings

  67. E.... R....

    música boa demais...#GretaVanFleet e VAI CORINTHIANS

  68. s.... ....

    Excellent, great taste!

  69. K.... B....

    every timr i listen to these wonderful young men i cry. they are.. without a doubt a breathe of fresh air and the only band that has something to say!! something that matters! I thank Papa Kiska for OBVIOUSLY turning them on to some good music and teaching them that conformity is for followers... and we/ the human race.. need some LEADERS!!

  70. R.... F....

    The guys absolutely rocked Detroit last night!

    R.... F....

    Hell yea they did

  71. p.... n....

    great song ruined

  72. a.... w....

    Greta van fleet , what can I say they are a very different kind of rock and roll band for today's children , but here I'm 58 years old and grew up in the 60 &70 music was hard Rock , like Hendrix , deep purple , cream , and yes led Zeppelin my number one band of all time , but these guys are unique in there own way stop comparing them to led Zeppelin they have their own sound , good luck guys , stay humble and enjoy every moment of the success that is coming your way , God bless and keep on truckin , rockin can't wait for the album

  73. S.... s....

    Bloody marvelous

  74. m.... ....

    As good as these guys are, there are plenty more bands just like them that wanted to break into the scene. The credit shouldn't go to the band, rather their manager. They are good, but shouldn't be fully praised as the revival of Rock and all that. They just broke into the maintstream media, that's all. Just be more aware of the other acts out there as well before bending over fully for one band alone. There's a reason why they got through - studio contracts nowadays have so many hidden clauses that get decent acts to turn into sellouts later on. Regardless, these lads are doing well so far. I just hope that they keep going strong and never give in to the mainstream bullshit.

  75. D.... P....

    muito bom

  76. L.... T....

    LOVE!!!

  77. T.... C....

    Butchered it.

  78. C.... J....

    Great sound 🔥

  79. M.... ....

    thank god , good music

  80. N.... Q....

    Wow I love how the guitar sounds in this one.

  81. P.... L....

    Música linda de mais, não sei se fui só eu que achei isto mas, senti uma pitada de “Yes” nessa música, principalmente no começo dela, tem a cara das musicas do Yes.

    P.... L....

    Belíssima versão, melhor até que a original, na minha opinião. Refrão não sai da cabeça 😂

  82. f.... ....

    I just don't get it. Sort of pointless.

  83. P.... ....

    GVF is a glimmer of hope that our younger musicians are not totally lost ..... on'ya

  84. l.... ....

    If Axel Rose and his shitty band made huge sucess, this kids deserve to fly much higher on Rock'n'Roll future history.

  85. B.... M....

    Written by the great Richard Thompson, then as now one of the best there is! https://youtu.be/dekIv8bGWHE

  86. l.... g....

    Is there a 10 hour version of this song?

    l.... g....

    lucas gontijo I’ve been listening on repeat for two

  87. E.... ....

    i'd like to hear more of this type of singing from Josh, a note lower, more full voice, sounds great

  88. a.... s....

    superb.

  89. N.... G....

    THIS KIDS are a GOD'S gift .... IWho listenin' in 2018 Fairport Convention ??? ... Who knows who was this english folk rock band? .... GRETA VAN FLEET knows ....

  90. d.... d....

    I
    am 56 and I woke up for work this morning with the highway song
    buzzing in my head from the night before, funny how music can do
    that, I think the most notable trait of these young guys and their
    music is their ability to rekindle a long dwindled adrenal rush music
    used to give me. Consider I lived through the British invasion and
    listened to the development of the biggest bands ever to blaze trails
    into all our lives. What is cool is that Led Zeppelin rose to fame at
    a time when the world was ready for them and they were not hindered
    with familiarity and saturation of the genera they would eventually
    posses , in other words they were not hindered by some of the hurdles
    GVF has had to overcome , all this music has been done before and
    done to death for decades , the fact that these guys are catching on
    so quickly despite that, is testament to just how talented they are ,
    the cohesiveness of their sound the lyrics melodies tempo timing beat
    inflections and blazing stunningly unique vocals by Josh are what
    make GVF able to bulldoze through a jaded audience deadened by
    decades of musical mediocrity and ignite the excitement in people
    garnishing reactions such as the ones on this blog, to simply say as
    some have that GVF is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and that is their
    appeal is crushingly marginalizing , my God listen to the acoustic
    version of Black Smoke Rising, Edge of Darkness these are genuinely
    masterful songwriters singers and musicians. These guys are on fire
    and I can’t wait to hear what comes next. I still remember how it
    felt when I got my first Zeppelin, Stones , Floyd LP and so many
    other monster talents, the only reason I can remember , and I am
    being completely sincere in saying this , is that after listening to
    this entire track , for the first time in decades I felt it again I
    want to have all my friends over and crank this cool new album buy
    this new band Greta Van Fleet in its unstoppable infancy and we will
    all play air guitar and get buzzed laugh and not give a fuck about
    anything because the music is doing the talking and pulled us all out
    of our heads to let us live in the moment, that's some serious
    spiritual currency . Peace Everybody,,,,,, Darren.

  91. m.... r....

    Is this LEGS DIAMOND born again ???

  92. S.... I....

    I'm 51 and I found me self listening this, their music just like that for a half of hour or even longer... It sounds so good, so fantastic! I was missing such a great rock sound for a years... You have at last one fun from Croatia!

    Thank you FAN

    S.... I....

    @darrengilles darrengilles AGREE WITH YOU!!! MISS THE SHIT OUT OF THE OLD ROCK, THESE KIDS ARE THE TICKET BACK TO, ROCK N ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!!! ☮

  93. C.... L....

    I like it, that's all that matters to me.
    If you don't that's the way it goes.

  94. D.... B....

    Great hook.

  95. I.... A....

    Apreciar os clássicos do rock é incrível mas ficar preso aos grandes sucessos dos anos 70 dá um certo desespero. Precisamos de bandas assim! É impossível não pensar no Plant cantando mas e daí!? Que bom! Ter algo novo que lembra um clássico do tamanho do Led é incrível! Esperança de que teremos mais 50 anos de rock garantidos!

  96. H.... ....

    GREAT van fleet

  97. K.... K....

    I want to like them... Just not digging the lyrics..

  98. D.... C....

    There is finally hope for real Rock & Roll, Rock On Great Van Fleet!

  99. B.... W....

    The best Album of Greta

  100. S.... O....

    "From the fires" is better than full album.
