Jurado, Damien - Silver Timothy Lyrics






I was met on the road by a face I once knew
Shapeless was his frame and his colors were few
We went out for a time but his sentence is in
Climbing into the eye where the numbers begin

Go back down, don't touch the ground
Go back down, don't touch the ground
Go back down, don't touch the ground
Go back down, don't touch the ground

I was met on the road by a face that was mine
Echoed chambers installed where the diamonds decline
You can never go home if you were never shown
Spots on the irises bleed where the numbers were born

Go back down, don't touch the ground
Go back down, don't touch the ground
Go back down, don't touch the ground
Go back down, don't touch the ground

  13. E.... K....

    "The Affair", season 1, episode 3 + it is a nice tv series, highly recommended ;)

  14. I.... P....

    Anyone know where the video was shot?

    I.... P....

    Smith Rock State Park. Terrebonne, Or. The birthplace of American sport climbing

    I.... P....

    +Harrison Harb I think a lot of people would consider the birth place of sport climbing to be the Yosemite Half Dome. First ascent: 1870's, first technical climb: Royal Robbins - 1950's. Smith Rock didn't become a climbing destination until most of us were getting our start in the 80's.

    I.... P....

    +thebizzness I'd say Yosemite as the birthplace of modern climbing, along with free climbing, but Smith definitely takes it for sport climbing. The rappel bolting technique was pioneered there, along with the first 5.14 in North America. Read Alan Watts' history of the park in the Falcon Guide. Super interesting. The Yosemite crew wanted him crucified for popularizing bolting/climbing techniques which are now considered common place.

    I.... P....

    +Harrison Harb Huh. Very cool info. I'll definitely give that one a read. Thanks for the heads up.

    I.... P....

    @Harrison Harb Thanks man!

  25. D.... D....

    Damien Jurado puts on a wicked live show. Deep stuff.

  26. I.... M....

    Great song! It's not boring like other folk songs 

  27. h.... ....

    This music video is the perfect blend of abstraction. One of the rare cases a song and video truly compliment each other. The team behind it must be really sharp!

  28. g.... ....

    Why do I like this type of music?

  29. a.... ....

    Heard "Beacon Hill" on Shameless.  Great song!  I hope having it featured on Shameless brings you the exposure you deserve.  Diggin' Silver Timothy as well.  Can't wait to check out the rest of your stuff...

  30. A.... ....

    This is very cool; the War on Drugs brought me here.

    A.... ....

    fuck yeah The War on Drugs!

  31. F.... B....

    this song came on the radio and I had to pull over to find out who it was, the last time that happened was in the 90's when 'come as you are' first hit the radio waves...

  32. K.... ....

    The affair :)

    K.... ....

    Exactly. Just watched the first 3 episodes for the first time. The music has blown me away.

  33. A.... T....

    Wonderfoul Song and Video!!!!

  34. r.... ....

    Fleet Foxes all over it

    r.... ....

    ..except that Damien has been  doing it  since   they were still  in elementary school.

  35. E.... Z....

    Another woodoo man from Seattle

  36. A.... L....

    sooooooo goooooood

  37. c.... ....

    bullshit good! such a nice sun soaked psych feel.

  38. L.... I....

    best album of 2013 by far!! Phosphorescent's Muchacho is in 2nd place. 

  39. J.... C....

    I can hear this song playing in the background of a movie.

  40. J.... B....

    I'm loving this psychedelic style.

  41. S.... A....

    Awesome music!  This song has a lot of meaning to it.  Love the video.

  42. T.... N....

    Really enjoyable album

  43. P.... O....

    That is a quality song

  44. E.... E....

    I have spent ages swimming through my computer history just to find this! It was worth it :)

  45. l.... m....

    solo hay una pvta radio a nivel de latinoamerica que pone este tipo de hits y es doble 99. lima peru

  46. N.... ....

    He kinda looks like Mike Kripke from The Big Bang Theory

  47. R.... W....

    What is this man confused about?

  48. a.... ....

    AWESOME... Song and Video... I love that Bossa Nova/Hippie Pop/60's vibe... :)

  49. S.... M....

    The sound of spiritual awakening through a man named Damien Jurado and his friend Richard Swift. Sounds like someone turned the light on.

  50. G.... E....

    Really like this sound, vid reminds me of home.

  51. A.... A....

    I love this song, heard it on NPR. So atmospheric and slinky. Video is so boring though...

  52. J.... A....

    This song has been playing in my head all day.Couldnt wait to see Damien and hear it on you tube when I got home from work.

  53. A.... ....

    I overheard this and was thinking to myself, "Dang, where has this Steve Miller tune been all my life?!?!" 

    Seriously, this is spot on psychedelic 60's Steve Miller Band.

  54. s.... ....

    Love this atmospheric indie folk/rock :)

  55. M.... A....

    psycodelichal!!!!!!

  56. B.... S....

    The haunt of this song is infectious. I can not stop playing it... so good.

  57. D.... L....

    Just plain awesome! What an amazing sound, so atmospheric, haunting melodies never rocked so hard before.

  58. R.... J....

    beautiful song. this guy channeled the mystic ecstasy of the 60s for this one. love it

  59. R.... ....

    groovy.

  60. J.... P....

    the first time I heard this I thought it was an old stone roses song!

  61. p.... ....

    damien - you have reached the most incredible heights of music.  You've created a sound i have never heard before.  Listening to this song for the first time in the car one rainy night i thought i might explode with joy.  Thank you for staying true to yourself.  You've given me a light to find my way in the dark. 

  62. s.... ....

    Great 60's feel.like how the drum beat drops in with the acid sound 1/4 thru, changes it for the good.

  63. t.... ....

    Nice song. Retro, psychedelic sounds somewhat reminiscent of the Zombies.

  64. s.... ....

    reminds me so much of the doors. great resurrection of a period long forgotten. 

  65. E.... G....

    Who produced the album? Sounds tight and spacey at the same time.

  66. L.... T....

    The vocals are as atmospheric as anything I've ever heard (including the ultra tasteful back-up tracks he layers on here), including such lyrics as "Climbing into the eye, where the numbers begin..."), and then he ties that lyric back into the original tale in the last verse with another epic,optic, vision-based line referenced by singing "Spots on the iris's bleed where the numbers are born..." Even if the psychedelia is too much for you, the lyrics at a minimum catch your ear & make u think.

  67. A.... F....

    Cool Damien.

  68. M.... _....

    awesome

  69. f.... ....

    groovy

  70. M.... ....

    great song

  71. z.... ....

    cool tune!!!

  72. x.... ....

    Bitchin to the 1 mil power

  73. S.... S....

    Yea! Damn thats some good stuff coming into my ears!

  74. N.... C....

    Gawd, I love this.

  75. P.... W....

    Pure dead Neil Young brilliant

  76. T.... ....

    Too much reverb. Like it when it turns into 60s psychedlia though. Something sadly missing in generation too much acoustic.

  77. J.... G....

    Dig it!

  78. C.... R....

    JIM SULLIVAN end of the game!

  79. A.... M....

    Nice bass sound!

  80. N.... P....

    the track of the 2013

  81. J.... M....

    not a secret now great sound.

  82. M.... H....

    You mean like all of his songs?

  83. M.... S....

    Amazing, a hit for sure......Or a classic that never happened but should of.

  84. S.... L....

    Sweet. Cannot wait for this album to come out.

  85. p.... ....

    Okay so is Damien the dead guy slumped over in the dark car? Well regardless this is a catchy song and although different from the past stuff I love it! Can'twai to hear the whole album.

  86. c.... D....

    so so good!

  87. T.... ....

    wowwwwwwww come back downnnnnn

  88. J.... P....

    this guy is just unreal... I once tried to rank his albums and I couldn't even pick a number one and gave up. they are all mad good. this one already is sounding like a winner.

  89. I.... b....

    Oh damien...what a great song! looking forward to see in you in Barcelona!!

  90. M.... A....

    He keeps getting better and better.
