McKay, Nellie - Gladd Lyrics






It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here at home at last the days have ceased

It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
All the pain has passed and there is peace

If the breath was warm and tender
Now the breath becomes a yawn
And I've been returned to sender
And I'm better since I'm gone...

It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here with time erased I'm at my best

It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
Without a pretty face I can just rest

But the march is still ongoing
I can hear the drummers' roll
And it can't show signs of slowing
It is true, dear, it's my soul...

It's been a long time coming
But I know you are the one
Here at home at last the days have ceased

It's been a long time coming
And I know we've just begun
All the pain has passed and there is peace.

McKay, Nellie Gladd Comments
  1. K.... R....

    she is better live if you can believe it! her energy is spellbinding! I have seen her live twice, and OMG I will see her live as many times as humanly possible!

  2. A.... S....

    I honestly though she was a TIME TRAVELLER. She has an old soul. Mannerism of a 1920 lady

  3. j.... l....

    this girl is amazing

  4. S.... ....

    How is it that I am only coming upon this brilliance 15 years after the fact? Fucking clearchannelradio bullshit, remediating the collective experience of music for the population.

  5. H.... S....

    Wow.. great talent! ...but I need the lyrics to be able to follow it all.

  6. T.... 6....

    This is 15 years old????????????????

  7. J.... L....

    Are real artist has something to say...not just something to sell...

  8. G.... K....

    Sexy and talented😍

  9. J.... J....

    How have I not seen this before?

  10. c.... ....

    Brilliant

  11. L.... G....

    *Nellie Mckay.......you rock!*

  12. 2.... ....

    Damn she’s beautiful, cute,sexy, hot, talented. How much for one night?

  13. h.... ....

    Why are her eyes blue here but brown on Jimmy Dore?

    h.... ....

    @Dom Von Hutch ok... thanks...

  14. k.... ....

    Brilliant!

  15. A.... L....

    She is just so smart and cute. I discovered her on the Jimmy Dore show. What a talent!

    A.... L....

    Andri Lindbergs Yeah, I actually fell for the dumb blonde act😄

  16. C.... S....

    She's the cutest thing ever.

  17. W.... L....

    Pink to make the boys wink. ; )

  18. P.... M....

    Thing is nellies songs are melodious, funny musical and induce a thing that the world needs ,....

  19. S.... M....

    She totally owns her talents. I've not been this excited to discover an artist in ages. When someone really puts the hours in to develop their ability and maintain it to this kind of level, they can make a tidy living with a career in music, or they can just play about with it and create whatever the hell they want! Like this! I love it. I'm going to be listening to this beautiful lady's music a lot, I think.

  20. W.... B....

    I want to be her piano.

    W.... B....

    She certainly knows how to tickle the ivorys

    W.... B....

    Synchronicity wow

  21. G.... ....

    The Jimmy Dore Show had her on today. Also, I think I'm in love.

  22. Y.... ....

    Wow, I've got to get all her CD's.

  23. J.... B....

    Putrid. Horrendous. Cheap tricks by the hundreds. What a joker. Mark Russell , anyone ? Mark Russell must be her hero. One might reflect that people die and are maimed in war, that safe satire is no satire at all, and her right to be glib about war-making is bought and paid for with the sacrifice of persons who she looks down upon rather than looking up to in gratitude ( never, ever gonna be fooled on that point. Let's see this Z-Lister play for troops.). What a mutt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-Sb-ZC8_ik

    J.... B....

    Joseph Barry stick to making dogs jump really high

    J.... B....

    "One might reflect that people die and are maimed in war" - I'm pretty sure she's antiwar, at least stupid war with Iraq that we were lied into (no WMD's were ever found). Or maybe Obama should have reflected on the true cost of war, before taking us from two wars to seven wars. AND maybe Trump should "reflect that people die and are maimed in war" before he starts a certainly disastrous war with Iran that a) we cannot afford and b) will likely spread through out the region!


    BTW - You know what's been "bought and paid for with the sacrifice" of our soldiers - with zero gratitude - is the corporate gains by the defense contractors, presidents, generals and banksters! That's why we must get out of these regime change wars which are waged for corporate plunder of natural resources. George W. Bush's father and his best buddy made a $Billion each on the two wars he started! NEVER, EVER GONNA BE FOOLED ON THAT POINT!

  24. B.... P....

    I always hate it when people put water bottles on the piano, even if they can afford the repair costs

  25. B.... R....

    Watching this in 2018... seems like the USA is like Germany 1933 all over again. *We never learn.*

  26. S.... M....

    It's very Regina Spektor ish ❤️

  27. M.... B....

    Nellie ..... I Wanna Get Married!

  28. S.... N....

    Listening to this is bringing the feeling i had discovering ani difranco. Her pitch range is notched pretty high, mines pretty low, but this, it makes me feel good about all I write and play so hard to memorize and the humor I've thrown aside is definitely going to come back and stay. This makes me want to step up my game musically and sexually. Just so satisfying to enjoy this after blistering my ring finger today practicing what I posted on Twitter and minds.com as SamTwyne, ten penny nail and when the rain comes.

  29. A.... F....

    I discovered her music today, totally in love with her talent! I am so looking forward to hearing more of her music!!

    A.... F....

    Andres Figari aww she's amazing! This is a really cool video of how she semi got started: https://youtu.be/W-KCLxu90s4

    A.... F....

    Thanks for sharing this!

    A.... F....

    She went on the jimmy dore show like 2 weeks ago in case you haven't seen that. Though it is quite likely that's how you found out about her in the first place given the timing

    A.... F....

    you are 100% correct with your guess :D

    A.... F....

    Wish I liked her style and tunes--she's lovely to look at, in any case.

  30. A.... M....

    nice piano too, after listening to some comparisons...

  31. T.... G....

    Not one damned hint of auto-tune with Nellie. She's dreamy and the bees' knees.

    T.... G....

    Idris dement

    T.... G....

    OMG you're so right!

  32. S.... V....

    hey now we are bombing Syria...oh that does not rhyme its just hysteria.

    oh we owe. oh we owe for this too Nellie! ah ah ah ha

    S.... V....

    Cafeteria?

  33. F.... ....

    great pianist, songwriter, singer and she was STUNNING in her prime

    F.... ....

    Prime? She is older and wiser and sweeter and a voice I can and do listen to again and again and again.

    Just wish I was still at Delaware Water Gap. It would be nice. la ti da! and woo woo!

    Wonder if Vlad the Architect who worked on the U.S. Capitol?

    Long time coming is a wonderful piece. I would like the piece for a special memory day. The bayonetting of students at the University of New Mexico by our own National Guard.

    Great Performance Nellie!

    F.... ....

    She still IS stunning !!!
    Gosh, that's the most insulting compliment I've seen this month... I'd marry her

    F.... ....

    just go watch her recent interviews with Jimmy Dore, she might be even better today!

    F.... ....

    Her whole life is PRIME dude 😘💞

    F.... ....

    What about MY prime, Mick?

  34. D.... B....

    I am the Nellie Super FAN!!!!

  35. A.... ....

    thanks for uploading this!
