McMorrow, James Vincent - Sparrow And The Wolf Lyrics

Haven’t heard this for years. Great song

I know right. Listened to this in 2010 and it's been 9 years. A wonderful song with wonderful lyrics.

no words <3

just watched third star and heard 'follow you down to the red oak tree'. I didn't know who sang the song but i swear the voice is too familiar. And out of nowhere I started to hear this song in my head. Youtubed it.. And yup.. it's JVMcM!

nice overwatch reference

anyone knows theres a girl that covers this song and it sounds amazing?

eh hers was too slow and kind of out of tune.

i love this song

Excellent collection of all original music. Love this song.

Anyone have insight into this video?

Great. Not too much reasons to be proud to be Irish, but JVMcM is one..................

+supafuckinmingster I see plenty of reasons to be proud to be Irish. What's your problem? The old ways of hate and discrimination are gone. This is the 21st century now. Live in it and not in the past.

supafuckinmingster and hozier

Not a fan of Hozier. Respect the fact that he has made a name for himself. But don't rate him musically. Just me......

Shiit what about U2,Damien Rice?

The love I have for this man's artistry...

Someone read their lips and tell me what they're really saying.

im in love

from which video?

Truly amazing

Congrats dude, we're all proud.

Looks like Robb Stark

really hope he blows up...great lyrics

I actually didn't get here by MysteryGuitarMan.. just my own music taste.

Since everybody here seems to thinks it's necessary to tell how they've got here:

A rainbow puking unicorn told me this was a great song.


Actually a girl with great taste in music send me here in some kind of way...

Fuck me, I've been listening to this song for months now, and only now have I googled JVMcM and found out he's Irish. I'm Irish. How come I'm not hearing more of this gem on my local radio?

Radio 3 sent me.

Its 10 in the morning and i'm watching Wine adverts! Food for thought....wha wha wha

Gonna see this guy on Rock Werchter! Along with Editors, Mumford and Sons, Wolfmother, Kasabian, and Chase and Status. McMorrow is the one I bought the ticket for, the one I'd really like to see.

Wasn't a big fan of the music video but great song!

herp derp dis guy sent me har derp herp

how does this not have over a million views already?

James Vincent McMorrow and Jacko Hooper are my pick of the bunch for 2012. So glad this kind of music is beginning to get the kind of exposure it deserves, two very talented young men.

i have no idea what this video is about! i wish someone could explain it because it may add meaning to the lyrics. anyone know what the video is about?

@condon60 YES! Incredibly similar!

Mystery Guitar Man sent me.

Why did MGM have this play in his wedding video?! It's such a sad song :(

Love this song, but the video is tripping balls.

is lisa hannigan singing with him ?

Damn, this is an addictive song.

i think ive found love could listen to his voice everyday

@wingdsabrtoothdpanda well, you plan it out, and then just get some wire (sculpting wire, reasonably thick), and I'd probably start from the eyes, or start making a skeleton. It might be easier to make a paper mache mold of the shape you want, and then sculpt around that, but I have no experience of that

@MrJacko552 that sounds funnn c: i would love to have something that looks like this. How'd you go about making it?

@wingdsabrtoothdpanda I did stuff like that for my art GCSE, but nothing on that scale :p

I wanna know how to make those masks!

面白いです。^_^

@a432511 Political Correctness is getting too much, poor MissRori44.

my lovee.

I met him at Electric Picnic, such a genuine down to earth guy :)

@MissRori44 How would your question offend anyone?

that was thoroughly depressing.

They do realise that they're not really animals right....? ;)

woah i love this song! reminds me a little bit of mumford and sons but with a softer voice :)

Check out Devendra Banhart - I Feel Just Like a Child.

fucking love this video, such a nice voice! it's all really bittersweet

such a beautiful song

This song was an absolute bitch to find. But I'm glad I found it eventually, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

I fell in love with this song a while ago....and the lyrics are quite powerful...but this video is GOD AWFUL.

...the chorus is absolute brilliance; the sentiment seems perfect for this day and age. It is the kind of song that grows deeper with each listen. Congrats on the vid! And thanks to all involved who provided the means for this music to reach our ears and hearts...

"so just store up your hate and use it for warmth when your cold"

thank u freshly squeed

@bumbellee i think its to do with the smell so that dogs or whatever wouldnt be able to pick up on.

i couldnt help but dance to this! (very badly) but i didnt care :D

Top tune Mr McMorrow. The RAH show with City and Colour was a pleasure.

Wonderful!

never heard of this guy until i saw him on later with joolz holland, absolutley fantastic, so i bought the E.I.T.M album and i can't stop playing it and that's a very good thing IMO. XD

BEAUTIFUL!! UTTER JOY to listen to!!!! <3

many thanks to the 2 dislikes cus you just made the song better

LOVE IT
he's amazing live

A beautifully eerie video for a beautifully melancholic song

'the gamekeeper overfeeds them, so they struggle to fly' made me really sad!

Amazing tune! Amazing video!

Darn it. No love button.

love the concept of this video. The visuals go perfectly with James' haunting lyrics set to such a peppy beat. only 446 views as of right now... I expect that will increase exponentially in a short while. James is brilliant, it won't take long for the world to become aware of his vast talent.

Only uploaded today? What an honer to be one of the firsts to see it :D

I Love this song !!!!

lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove this!!! :D
