Greta Van Fleet - Watching Over Lyrics






Many long years amongst the trees
Many long years in the ground
To be with one that's never seen
The one that stands and watches over

I wonder when we'll realize
This is what we got left
And it's our demise
With the water rising
And the air so thin
Still the children smiling
And we see no sin

This is what we all have seen
Too many years tearing down
Even thought we couldn't believe
It's only clearer in a mirror now

I wonder when we'll realize
This is what we got left
And it's our demise
With the water rising
And the air so thin
Still the children smiling
Can we see no sin

Sinner sin
Say no sin

Greta Van Fleet Watching Over Comments
  1. K.... B....

    Perfect for the Age of Aquarius, the cosmos thanks you.

  2. j.... ....

    This is so relaxing, it makes me feel like I'm on a trip, boating in the middle of an ocean (it's a feeling I've been trying to write for one of my poems for almost a year) and then a strong tide begins along with a storm in the middle of the night, and my soul separates from my body.

  3. j.... ....

    This song makes me feel the same as when I listen to Pink Floyd, it is actually something much deeper, since I am more connected with GVF than with Pink Floyd, so the music feels more real and closer in my head.

  4. T.... S....

    Absolute perfection.

  5. V.... R....

    does anyone else feel like listening to a Pink Floyd song at the beginning?

  6. j.... ....

    that guitar, jake

  7. j.... ....

    this is great, i love u

  8. J.... M....

    You're very good boys.

    And it's our demise
    With the water rising
    And the air so thin
    Still the children smiling
    Can we see no sin

    This is what we all have seen
    Too many years tearing down
    Even though we couldn't believe
    It's only clearer in a mirror
    Now

    I wonder when we'll realize
    This is what we got left
    And it's our demise
    With the water rising
    And the air so thin
    Still the children smiling
    Can we see no sin

    See no sin
    Say no sin

  10. J.... E....

    Beautiful !!!

  11. n.... g....

    Some of you guys act like being like Led Zeppelin was bad, Robert Plant said he loved Greta, then why can't you just accept it??? don't take their music too hard, it's not a dick 🤫

  12. M.... A....

    People tell me "they sound too much like Led Zeppelin, not creative enough". To them i say, is having a band that sounds like Zeppelin on the up and coming stage such a bad thing? Haven't heard anything like it in decades.

  13. E.... O....

    I feel like Janis Joplin and Ronnie Van Zant, are wherever rock gods go, and they created this celestial creation we know as, "Greta Van Fleet," and sent them to us. Thank you! 😎🤘

  14. O.... ....

    I just don't understand how people compare him to robert plant. The voice, the style of singing, it's not like him. Is it because led zeppelin is the only rock group people know? Do people just want to whine?

  15. K.... B....

    Love how they use red lighting when they play this live; they are warning lights.

  16. h.... ....

    I love how in interviews they wanted to be the revived nirvana but ended up being called the new led zeppelin but regardless is absolutely gret

  17. L.... S....

    Everybody's mad but Led Zeppelin isn't coming out with any new tunes and may never do so again. Why can't the universe create a group of young men who continue on the sound of such an iconic band? Shut your asses up and enjoy the music.

  18. v.... ....

    This really is healthy! I know its influenced, thank god it is. Bravo!

  19. J.... H....

    Never thought I’d ever see a modern classic rock band. Well done lads for creating and keeping this great music alive and that’s coming from a Zoomer.

  20. R.... B....

    Dont please be cowards as leftists. Be as knight son of a beach

  21. N.... T....

    HardRadio brought me here 🤘🏻

  22. S.... S....

    My favorite Greta Van Fleet guitar solo

    CAIO VINICIUS am I the only one who respects this? You’re the best, man. ✊

    A.... �....

    @hounddog 123 me too. Thanks so much.🤟

  24. V.... R....

    I enjoy every second of Greta Van Fleet's music

  25. c.... s....

    Wow, es gibt noch tolle Musik und nicht nur diesen blöden Mainstream. Super Stimme und Sound, BRAVO ! Wünsche dieser Ausnahmeband viel Erfolg weiterhin.

  26. B.... ....

    I wanna be a rockstar one day

    B.... ....

    Ha ha -- grab yer guitar!

    B.... ....

    Cindy SIngre already on that Chief 🤟

    B.... ....

    @Ben Good luck -- and I'm not a guy.

  27. U.... B....

    They sound good but Josh should try to find his own style instead doing Plant's hand gestures and copying his voice.

  28. T.... C....

    If youre not as good or popular as Greta Van Fleet ZIP IT.

  29. D.... B....

    Love the space themed screen saver

  30. G.... c....

    He can’t help it if he sounds like Robert Plant, who cares, just be glad they’re modern artists who aren’t pop or rap.

  31. S.... ....

    I guess they lived 30 mins from Flint, MI. Makes you wonder where some of their inspiration comes from

  32. j.... ....

    Greta Van Fleet out here Making America Great Again!

  33. N.... B....

    This is what we all have seen.... Too many years going down.... Till Greta Van Fleet saved rock for all to enjoy.

  34. B.... M....

    great music, thank you )

  35. K.... K....

    They have an awesome sound and I can’t see them not getting old doing this. The hell with all of you haters keep your comments to yourself and stay away. PS Zepplin was one of the best bands in the world so I’m glad these kids are bringing the style back. I am 47 and loving it.

  36. C.... S....

    The plant has been derooted.

  37. d.... ....

    This shit absolutely rips

  38. J.... B....

    Man I feel like saying "ok boomer" to like half of the people commenting in here tbh

  39. A.... B....

    I just love that the solo quotes Alvin Lee’s “I’d love to change the world”. Just a second, but, with the subject of the song...hard not to hear. A cool musical reference.

  40. J.... L....

    Tks Gretaa, save our generation.

  41. M.... m....

    Absolutely love this...🎶❤

  42. R.... T....

    I just noticed that at 1:43 there's a sitar version of the riff that leads into the chorus of "When the Curtain Falls".

    WHAT DO I WIN???

    R.... T....

    OMG you're right! I've listened to both SO many times and never caught that before. Good ear!

  43. R.... T....

    If Dio woke up in Jon Anderson's body, this is the song he'd sing.

  44. 6.... ....

    I always wished I was alive during Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I can't believe it's happening.

  45. E.... U....

    intro sounds like "met a tasty baby in michigan" by the D

  46. K.... ....

    Great sound.

  47. k.... o....

    u guys hear led zepp, i hear bad company - ready for love in the instrument spectrum

  48. A.... g....

    Tjr start of the solo sounds a little like stairway

    A.... g....

    At 1:41

  49. S.... D....

    They say you have a look alike and sound alike out there in this world 🌎 but RP is RP and GVF is GVF They Will Rock us into 2020

  50. S.... D....

    I can’t wait to see Robert Plant setting in with them to keep the thrive alive and they say he likes them who wouldn’t

  51. M.... W....

    One of my favs

  52. J.... M....

    Kinda like Dio and Plant had a child... and that's not a bad thing...

  53. M.... f....

  58. A.... A....

    Like 3 songs in and I just ordered this cd off amazon

  59. S.... C....

    After seven albums and a film Mr Wagner watch you don't wink out like Bonzo did
    Zep sound alike, OK the vocals sound so (but on track one on Anthem he sounds more like Yes's Jon Anderson)
    But say what you like about the vocal sound the bands overall sound is great
    It needs listening again and again. And then again
    They're that good aren't they☺️

  60. P.... L....

  71. O.... C....

    This song gives me Pink Floyd vibes

  72. T.... B....

    Love love love ❤️.
    77 girl 😉

  73. S.... ....

    Greta is legend

  74. K.... N....

    Such an amazing band. I`m 58 and never heard a band coming so close to the 70s feeling of Zep. Great great potential - your rock guys!!!

  75. S.... M....

    I can't get enough of these guys. They know what music is all about. They get it.

  76. r.... r....

    I wonder if they saw superman while crash landing on this blue planet

  77. C.... ....

    The first time I heard this song I had a grin from ear to ear, it was the most beautiful thing I'd heard in a long time. I wish I could unhear it and hear it again. It's so perfect. Will it ever get a mv?

  78. S.... B....

    Gvf. Watching. Over. 🙉🙈😆😆😆😆😆😆😂

  79. K.... K....

    Great rock is back. Wow. Reminds me of Led Zeppelin. I love it 😎👍💯🚀🚀🚀👽

  80. D.... ....

    The absolute alive feeling when listening to them! GFV too underrated!

  81. W.... ....

    Why does everyone think comparing him to Robert Plant is bad? It's a ****ing compliment. It means he has great pipes.

  82. T.... O....

    I'm still very critical of Greta but this song really is an absolute masterpiece

    T.... O....

    I love them. I'm happy classic rock is having a comeback. Sounding similar or not. Get ghetto trash rap off the spot light.

  83. R.... R....

    Again! Noceeeeeeeeee

  84. c.... b....

    São iguais ao led Zeppelin

  85. C.... C....

    I am imagining 2020s will be the ROCK REVIVAL era, just IMAGINE

  86. F.... R....

    you guys are monsters hiding, where the fuck have you been all these years.

  87. D.... B....

    Greta Van Dio

  88. s.... L....

    Just found out this band. Amazing good old rock. Amazing voice.

  89. J.... M....

    I'm a fan man this I just classic. Way to bring rock back my friends.

  90. J.... K....

    the guitar solo of this song is literally a slower paced edge of darkness solo

  91. G.... ....

    These lyrics, modernized for our time... composed in a lost art.... absolute brilliance.

  92. T.... P....

    This song is about the end times prophesied in the Bible. As well as the song Black smoke Rising. If you pay close attention to the lyrics and you know scripture, you will be able to figure it out.

  93. C.... G....

    You guys are f. ... n awesome keep up. We will keep listening and supporting on this end. Sounds the best turned up to 11

  94. p.... ....

    I...I...I am ....*ehem* ladies and gentlemen .... I'll swear 100000% I shall buy all their albums, I...I..I just can't ....I feel guilty for pirating this. ....BEHOLD !!...... I SHALL NOT PIRATE THIS !!! *rows away in his little boat with pride and a dissapointed parrot*
