Henson, Keaton - Charon Lyrics

One of the workers on my site hung himself last night, we found out today. That scene caught me off guard

a real beautiful song hartfelt

Good TV show, too bad season 2 got cancelled, and good song, never actually seen this music video. I mean...I know the song itself is really sad, but the video with the song is just straight up depressing

So much suicide

I love his albums. I'm sad that I can't find two of his old videos anymore. I hope they are being remade, but time take all and I'm happy for those experiences

Hermoso y el sonido de los intrumento me a cauitivado gracias

"And I don't feel well, oh couldn't you tell from the way I touched my face" really stuck on me, because I feel understood.

הלב שלי💘

This song is so sad but at the same time so beautiful. His vocals and the guitar...so beautiful. I cry almost every time I listen to it.

תודה♥️

Reminds me alot of Angeles by Elliot Smith

Inexplicável sensação.💕

2012 was definitely the best year for acoustic music...

still one of my favourite songs by him. I've been a fan for years ❤❤❤

THe number of times I have cried while watching this or listening to the sound is the number of views this video has

Hercules went into the underworld and came back.

It’s that kind of night again.

Such a beautiful song!

😂 wirklich youtube? die Nutzer nach jedem Video mit Werbung nerven? Wann kommt endlich die Youtube Alternative? Es reicht langsam! 😉

In the flesh brought me here also

I'm feelin this is my deepest core n I fuckin love it

wow this is fantastic

This song is beautiful,but it makes me remember just how much my own existence is a burden to everyone around me hHEhehEHhhehHhehEHhEHhe

This song is so clever with the classical references 😌

The facial expression of the puppet alone hurts me when I see it. This is emotional asf

the more i listen to Keaton, the more I want to just hug him and tell him: everything will be fine buddy

I don't understand the red line, is it a wire so that he will be electrocuted when it starts to rain?

Yeah I was looking for this comment, I want to know what happened exactly there as well because it left me confused.
Responding for the bump and notification if anyone knows and cares to explain it :D

What is this song about

Keaton my heart has broken into thousands of pieces tonight. it feels as though it has shattered inside of my rotting cage and i've been struggling to breath or do anything that isn't unwise.
so here i am chugging wine like it's water and listening to your older music on this channel to try to give me some type of stability.

I have over 800 songs in my iTunes library, which I've been expanding on for 5 years or so. This song is the only one whichever I've purchased the music video for, out of those 800 plus songs. This is a true masterpiece, everything about it reflects me.

CHARON
And It seems as though
I'm on my own
And time transcends, oh!

And it seems I speak
Like waters leak
And I'm losing friends, oh!

And there'll be coins on my eyes
There'll be coins on my eyes
To pay Charon
Before I let you near my son

And I don't feel well
Oh, couldn't you tell,
From the way I touch my face?

My thoughts are low
And I cannot grow
In this small space, oh!

But there'll be coins on my eyes
There'll be coins on my eyes
To pay Charon,
Before I let you near my son

And I ain't no,
And I ain't no,
And I ain't no Hercules
I ain't no Hercules

The people in the comments are just as beautiful as Keaton.

I got goosebumps all over my arms just as soon as the guitar started playing..... an incredible song

In love with this song. Amazing how music can heal a person grieving.

I wish I could have watched this...listened to this with no recognition of every single thing he said and idea he betrayed... But that's not the world we live in.. and I understand all too well.

It takes courage to become Raw with your fans.

I love sadness, not the bad sadness but good, relaxing sadness. Comforting sadness

What does the "There'll be coins on my eyes to pay charon b4 I let you near my son" mean tho??

Means he'd die before he'd let anyone in. -I believe.

@La Me thank you! I'm stupid with deep things and references and the "son" part rlly had me confused

Великолепно

wow, I can't get enough Keaton but THIS is so lovely.

this sounds so much like a song i'd hear in a sad skins episode

A truly unique artist who should be more mainstream than he his x

carl woods Then he wouldn't be so unique :)

Yolo Swaggins you can still be mainstream and unique you know

The eyebrows hahahaaaaa

hahahahaha

This song was uploaded on my grandfather's last birthday. He died in January 2013.

THIS IS SO SAD

So good that hurts

I feel like this should have been in the life is strange soundtrack

makes you happy to be alone. just try to realise how sad that is... when you are happier alone

That's not sad, it's beautiful. Everyone should learn to be able to be content on their own when needed.

I think the title is referring to the Greek mythology character, Charon, who is the Underworld's ferryman of the dead.

I'm like this puppet cause I wanna kill myself but the guy I love won't let me

3:09 OMG Oh no...

omg om om om omg e feels are real

this hurts my soul,, so beautiful

at the end when he's lying on the tree, he reminds me of Jim from season 1 of the walking dead

Happy birthday :)

Saw this on the verge of an overdose. Saved my life really. It's been two years and I'm feeling okay now...thank you..

Bana Bat know that you are loved you matter 💓

💔😢

I JUST got into In The Flesh like 3 years late and I loved Keaton Henson before but In The Flesh made that love grow so much. The songs matched the series so much. What a terrific series and what a great musician/songwriter.

artists like this ? that are depressing but good

daughter the national alt j radiohead

this song perfectly describes AVPD (Avoidant Personality Disorder)

so are we just gonna not comment on the fact we just watched a suicide...multiple suicides?

each string on the guiter struck, each heartstring pluck

... why am I just hearing this song now?

Covered this if anyone's interested in an alternate version

Im interested ..so send me a link in your reply

I dunno. somehow, after 132398 view, I still love and feel this song. It is deeper in my heart and veins, than nothing is. but i CANT look at the pic when he lies in bath, hangin from the ceiling. my tears r filling my face and i can only think of the most painful moments of my life. im on the edge

that song are describing my life

Keaton Henson- you are something special.

Este hombre.

My fiance just up and left. No warning. No goodbye. Just. Gone. This and Small Hands were her favorite songs. I've just been listening to these two songs over and over. Wondering what I did wrong. What I could have done better. Why I wasn't good enough.

same ... my beloved ego

I love you friend. I hope you are alive and well.

sorry for the late reply. dont worry man. it'll be okay. stay strong. things get better. find good freinds.

Reading this comment 2 years on - I hope you've found peace, and safety in the knowledge that you're perfect as you are.

just hit me up if you wanna talk, even if its been a long time, email me [email protected]

When listening to this beautiful yet heart aching song, I remembered something. Charon in greek mythology is the person who gives and takes you safely into the underworld. If you have money on you then you can pay him to take you there faster, in the hauntingly beautiful video the puppet of, Keaton, I presume commits suicide or tries twice at 3:09 you can see his feet dangling off the ground perhaps being hung by a noose and again in 3:25 where he electrocuted himself. The lyrics "There'll be coins on my eyes, to pay Charon." I can only guess this is for faster passage to the after life...

❤️❤️❤️

this song may never be in the billboard top 10. it may not be heard jn every party place or elsewhere. but its a song with a beauty few can feel. few can understand. i always preferred being alone. keaton henson expressing this loneliness throuh his songs and just shows how comforting that is. what will stress me out more than anything is people. and henson is imo one of the best underrated artists there is.

Joking Slytherin 😍

Mega depressivo.. amei!

This makes me think, that we may be suffering, and it seems easier to just let go, move on, forget. But, somewhere in this life of forgetting, and letting things go, we have lost our hope to live, the nerve to keep going, we lost faith, in ourselves.

Maravilhosa!

😍😍😍😍😍

sounds like Iron & Wine and Nick Drake, i love it!!

First minute is all guitar. Otherwise it's awesome

A year ago I lost my brother to a fatal account of brain cancer. He was 15 years old. It was as if it was a dream and there was no way to wake up from it. This song helps me realize that all of our lives are different, and that we all have a purpose. Some of us may not realize that even though some things end in ways in which we don't want them to, there's always a reason. I often wonder what Tyler is doing up in heaven, and some day I realize that I'll be up there with him one day. So crazy how a song can alter the outlook on anyone's life.

Yeah music is it own language same as art and forms of writing. Some things in life can speak to us that regular words cannot. As if we understood different languages and we didn't even realize... So I guess we are all bilingual!

Alec Stouffer aww god bless xx

I don't know what to say, and I am not sure if I should be saying anything to you just because we're going to lifelong members of a club that neither of us would ever have been in any way whatsoever a willing applicant for. But I have a brother who is not here on earth, too. It's not as recently as yours.I want to say that I'm sorry for the loss of your own. It's not every going to get "better," but it gets different. I was younger than Bobby, but it's changed. I have friends who are never going to meet him,and I have been wanting to talk about him so he doesn't fade into the last time his name was spoken, but it's not like I am actually talking about this real person who I knew sometimes. It's like he is a character in my backstory and it's not a good feeling to have. Don't forget the reality of yours, or letting other people try to make him into a parable. It's not fair to your own personal history. Keep the memories that have no context, too.I think that every life has a purpose for being here, too, and I know that I will be seeing my brother again and you are going to see yours,but you already know that. I just had to say something like this. I am sorry that we're in the dead brothers club, but I am not sorry for being in the I have been blessed with someone who I've lost (for now) club... I don't want to even imagine what life without him in it would have been like, I was just lucky to have gotten a bit of the time that I got. I am actually gonna be keeping you and your family in my prayers. Good night.

Alec Stouffer if you are reading this you have saved my life. Without your strength and guidance I would never have been able to whip up the greatest pot of mac this world this has ever seen. Mac is the reason I am still on this earth and not in a bathtub with a toaster.

This helps me with my depression that I think I have but, don't have any medical approvals of.

Nostalgia 😢

His music is freaking depressingly attracting
Every single song gets me obsessed

Thanks to In the flesh for introducing me to this author whom I listen every now and then and I still find very emotional

And here I am years after watching In the Flesh, and I´m still so grateful to this beautiful show for introducing me to one of the most emotional music artist I´ve ever heard. Also I´m mad at them because this music makes me feel so bad, fudge you for cancelling third season BBC, fudge you.

He fit so well into the themes in In the Flesh. I wish they had continued the show because it was tragically beautiful.

ahhh same I loved that show sm

in the flesh got me into keaton henson too, and i'm so glad i experienced that show and it left me with such a fucking treasure

they really based the end of the last episode on the set up for s3 and they didnt even go through with it

Where can i see "in the flesh" ?

The guitar is a complete rip off of Elliott Smith.

It is very Angeles.

And it seems as though
I'm on my own
And time transcends, oh

And it seems I speak
Like waters leak
And I'm losing friends, oh

And there'll be coins on my eyes
There'll be coins on my eyes
To pay Charon
Before I let you near my son

And I don't feel well
Oh, couldn't you tell,
From the way I touch my face?

And my thoughts are low
And I cannot grow
In this small space, oh

But there'll be coins on my eyes
There'll be coins on my eyes
To pay Charon
Before I let you near my son

And I ain't no
And I ain't no
And I ain't no Hercules
And I ain't no Hercules
And I ain't no Hercules
And I ain't no Hercules

da até uma vontade de morrer <3

Bruno Silva é, eu te entendo. essa música me lê de uma forma...

Bruno Silva Compartilho do teu sentimento.

Unravel? :3
