Jim White - Static On The Radio Lyrics
3 A.M. I'm awakened
By a sweet summer rain
Distant howling of a passing Southbound coal train
Was I dreaming
Or was there someone just lying here beside me in this bed?
Or in the next room
Did a long forgotten music box just start playing?
And I know (it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead)
And I know (it's a crime to weave your wishes into what they said)
And I know (only fools venture where them spirits tread)
'Cause I know (every word, every sound bouncing 'round my head)
Is just static on the radio
(Static on the radio)
(Static on the radio)
Static on the radio
(Everything I think I know it's just static on the radio)
Static on the radio
(Everything I think I know it's just static on the radio)
Midnight rendezvous with a pretty girl
Wearing a torn and tear-stained gown
Like a ghost ship she appeared from nowhere
On a lonely highway and flagged me down
I gave her a lift downtown to the Greyhound station
And in the flicker of the neon lights
She kissed me goodbye, and in the mirror of her eyes
I saw my own reflection
And I know
(The blind will sometimes lead the blind)
And I know
(Through shadow lands and troubled times)
And I know
(Forsaking love, we seek the signs)
And I know
(Of truths forever hid behind)
The static on the radio
(Static on the radio)
Static on the radio
(Static on the radio)
Static on the radio
(Everything I think I know it's just static on the radio)
Static on the radio
(Everything I think I know it's just static on the radio)
Now there's a church house
About a stone's throw down
From this place where I been staying
It's Sunday morning
And I'm sitting in my truck
Listening to my neighbor sing
Ten years ago I might have joined in
But don't time change those inclined
To think less of what is written
Than what's wrote between the lines?
'Cause I know (dreams are for those who are asleep in bed)
And I know (it's a sin putting words in the mouths of the dead)
'Cause I know (for all my ruminations I can't change a thing)
Still I hope (there's others out there who are listening)
To the static on the radio
Static on the radio
(Everything I think I know it's just static on the radio)
Static on the radio
(Ain't praying for miracles, I'm just down on my knees)
Static on the radio
(Listening for the song behind everything I think I know)
Static on the radio
(Everything I think I know it's just static on the radio)
(Everything I think I know it's just static on the radio)

Jim White Static On The Radio Comments
Who's here before El Camino i wanna see you're comment legend
The song that played during the “stay out of my territory” scene in Breaking Bad was called “TV on the radio”... wonder if this one is a call out to that.
Breaking Bad: 😢
Better Call Saul: 😆
El Camino: 😎
Damn, is this groovy.
perfect song to end this magnificent experience
Skinny - my Hero 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
God damn O'Driscolls...
"Everything I think I know is just static on the radio." Damn good metaphor, succinctly expressed.
And this track could have been on the Magnolia soundtrack, as I'm sure has been pointed out.
Aimee Mann's voice is so soothing.
share the night together and static on the radio;)
El Camino was absolutely beautiful
So addicted to this song!!!!!!
Can't stop hearing it over and over again!
Something sort of magical happened to me : heard it for the very first time a rainy night exactly at 3:00am.
Incredibly amazing!!!
Will never forget how I felt when I realized.
I know it sounds silly, but I was so surprised; the song was about me and that special moment I was living.
Good luck, you damn O'Driscoll
El Camino > The Rise of Skywalker
this is not ending just to the movie but to the whole series, remarkable song!
Should we wait for Junior White to team up with Jesse ?!
El camino 👏
i was a fan of this song before el camino, i was so happy when this played for the credits
Aimee Mann has the sweetest voice on earth. Unmistakable. Check Magnolia ost.
thehurt e that’s the soundtrack that got me into Aimee Mann. If you wanna go even further back, check out her band from the 80s called ‘Til Tuesday! It’s a little different than her acoustic stuff but it’s still awesome.
Whos back here after watching El Camino Again 💣🤠🇺🇸
Uncredited here: *Aimee Mann* does the unmistakable backing vocals.
the best fucking tv serie
Game of thrones ending was so bad vince gilligan came back a second time to show how to end a series
Should we wait for Junior White to team up with Jesse ?!
"wHo ElSe Is HeRe FrOm El CaMiNo" like, bitch this is just a good song
I drive in the middle of nowhere and listen to this song
Who is here after watching El.Camino 🙋🙋🙋
Time to start watching Breaking Bad.
Download torrent from https eztv dot io . Have fun . Happy Holidays :)
“Static on the radio” by EL CAMINO :)
tfw liking this song and breaking bad and waking up one day to see its in the movie
My heart breaks for Pinkman.
Dont know whether to celebrate or feel sorrowful at the end of the movie. The beats brings different emotions but its great though.
Perfect ending with a perfect song. El Camino 😎
Why did they have to hit me with this empty feeling. I was in a breaking bad depression and now i'm in this one. Although this one ended on a good note so it wasn't that bad. Ughhhhh dammit vince
Static on the radio!!!!!
This song, the DOP of some spectacular scenes and esp. Jesse, made this a unique film.
BB lives on
Anyone else obsessed with this song after el Camino?
Yeah bitch!
Jesse se merecía un respiro
I’m excited to see which song will play in Goodman’s finale
Damn it keeps me listening again and again... RIP Mr. Extractor... to start fresh for Jesse... so fuckin awesome story...
Superb actor indeed . Been his fan since Delta Force . Superb CIA spook vibe just like JT Walsh , Brendan Gleeson , Mark Strong .
“Breaking feels”
The best ending we could ever imagine....., I hope they don´t turn this another franchise, we don´t need an "EL CAMINO: TOKYO DRIFT".
Уолтер и Джесси навсегда в памяти
a perfect ending of perfect movie
Walters cameo was a blessing
Anyone here after El Camino?
"I've gone where the universe takes me my whole life. It's better to make those decisions yourself"
Vince Gillighan, and Breaking Bad creators in general have a godly music taste.
Took y'all 11 years to get here
You're goddamn right!
Amazing
Who...of El Camino?
Aimee Mann’s voice *IS* the hook.
FUCK THAT FAGGOT EL CAMINO MOVIE NOBODY CARES WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE OR WHICH YEAR YOU ARE LISTENING IN YOU GODDAMN FUCKS DONT HAVE A SINGLE ORIGINAL THOUGH YOU JUST PARROT EVERYTHING OTHER SAYS YOU ALL COULD BE JUST BOTS AND NO ONE WOULD FUCKING NOTICE SAY SOMETHING MEANINGFUL AND NOT JUST WHO THE GODDAMN FUCK IS HERE BECAUSE OF THIS FAGGOT BREAKING BAD MOVIE
Take that cock out of your mouth and then write.
It might make sense then.
@qwerty . LOL . Thanks :)
She sounds like Joni Mitchell... sigh
El Camino ..Ahem!!
Rate El Camino here (number of stars out of 10)
Loved El Camino. I have this CD very unique music worth a listen !
EL CAMİNO DAN GELEN TÜRK KARDEŞLERİME SELAMLAR OLSUN
WALTIR WAYT ÖLMEDİ KALBİMİZDE YAŞIYOR MORUK
El Camino
yo how big was Walt's head? Could Bryan Cranston seriously not just shave his head? Looked like Stewie from Family Guy. It was mental.
“Good luck Mr. Driscoll”
Ah such a great movie
Rip Robert Forster
Superb actor indeed . Been his fan since Delta Force . Superb CIA spook vibe just like JT Walsh , Brendan Gleeson , Mark Strong .
I relate so much to this song it's crazy. What a perfect song for that ending.
Every comment is from 1 week ago, doesn't anyone wait to watch a movie?
10/19/19
Is that Aimee Mann on guest vocals?
no one:
Arthur Morgan: Mr... WHAAT!?
all these 600 comments are not even a week old on this 11 yo song
I always love to hear Aimee Mann
she has such a lovely voice!
Congrats, Jesse. You made it.
Hard to think Vince thought about killing off Jesse in Season 2. Now we're here. Touching.
This song is choice, bitch.
This song hitted me in the my heart as the El Camino and Breaking Bad hitted me in the my heart too!
I watch el Camino and this song was end of credits I listen to it over again
When Jane died my heart was broken. And I am not the sentimental type. One of the only TV shows that really got to me.
Who's the female singer on this hauntingly beautiful song? Her voice is incredible.
Wow, I just found the answer! And am not surprised. The female vocalist is none other than Aimee Mann (of 'Til Tuesday). I'll put her voice up there with a young Stevie Nicks, Yvonne Elliman, and Tori Amos, as the most beautiful of all-time. Add Babs in there to make it a Top 5. I honestly don't know how I would order them.
Is everyone but me here because of El Camino?
I'm never invited to parties...
Saul goodman where is he ?
At a Cinnabon in Omaha, NE. I'm sure that Better Call Saul will eventually get to the timeline of how he reacts to the events that happen following Walt coming out of hiding.
@David Mitchell thank you
Next comes a show called "Breaking Good." Jesse moves to Alaska, gets a beautiful wife, great life, and starts a church. It's all good until one day, in walks Walt. Back from the dead, seeking Jesus but finding Jesse instead.......
El Camino brings me here. Such an expensive movie and show. “ The last frontier “ .
El Camino was already incredible but then hearing Aimee Mann’s voice over the credits made it ultra special.
I’m so happy Jesse has a good ending..
3am
🕒
I'm awakened.
Just consider this: You come home after eating the best meal of your life, in the most expensive restaurant ever (BrBa) and at night someone offers you some fries (el camino) would you reject them? i wouldn't
This is the same guy who made "Wordmule" for that moment when Hank was looking at old pictures from the heisenberg case
Static on the radio, is like static snow in Alaska, Jesse Pinkman gets to live a quiet peaceful life?! ... 😀 🔥
Now al we have left to see from this universe is the end of Saul in BCS and in post BB. Great movie I loved it
El Camino is how you close the book on a masterpiece
ALASKA
"THE LAST FRONTIER"
Tv on the Radio | DLZ = Walter White
Jim White | Static on the Radio = Jesse Pinkman
Crazy how the songs capture the characters so well and also somewhat parallel and contrast. One is exhilarating, euphoric, sinister, while the other is melancholy, blissful, and regretful. A man who lost his morality and another who felt too much.
I may be overthinking it, but the song choice really was top-notch throughout the whole series.
YEAH mr. Jim White. YEAH MUSIC!!
Wouldnt it be great if Kenny and the other welders of Kandy Welding were snuffing BlueMeth instead of coke?
I totally graduated high school, dick
Vaya con Dios, amigo
Get ready for a flood of El Camino comments, lol.
I listened to this song many years ago when I was a teenager and I remember listening to it on an mp3 in a discman on my way home. After watching the movie, I not only felt nostalgic for breaking bad, but also for what I thought at the time with that song and the other ones.
that is cherry on the top
Walter Jr vs Hector Salamanca dance fight
Goodbye Jesse :)
the fact that so many people are here commenting on how well this song complements the end of El Camino, to me, is such a comforting and uplifting illustration of how art brings people, including various artists, together to produce something that incredibly expansive groups of people can enjoy and in which we can find meaning.
Obviously I’m here from “El Camino”, but even before watching the movie I knew about this song. It’s really such a great song and it perfectly fits the end of the movie.
Imagine if they made another spin off series like “Better Call Saul” but it’s Jesse’s life after moving to Alaska. I think Vince could find some way to make that an interesting show.
L
Nope....now jesse its free let him in peace...... But a spin off of Gustavo fring its a good idea.
