My Morning Jacket - I Needed It Most Lyrics






I needed it most, when I was eighteen
But now that I'm older, I don't need many things
Just someone to hold, that's what you give me
When dark touches your skull babe
Aw, baby you drop that on me

So I say Lord, all the Heavens you've made
Can't hold back the ghosts, that haunt my baby and me
Oh can't you hold 'em back, from comin' on in
To a lovely woman, that just wants her mind back again

I cannot crumble, what you want this to be
Or bring peace of mind, ain't there to see
Aw, if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me
But to have and to hold, yeah that's the way it's gotta be

My Morning Jacket I Needed It Most Comments
  1. C.... M....

    This is my shit

  2. Q.... T....

    I’m not sure what compelled me to listen to My Morning Jacket this morning, but I recall loving this song 12-13 years ago when I was 18 years old. Crazy how music can instantly throw you back to old feelings you thought you had let go.

  3. J.... ....

    I hate all of you.




    And I'm going to kill you

  4. T.... S....

    I BLASTED THIS SONG DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME, ABOUT HALF WAY THREW IT I CLOSED MY EYES AND KEEP THEM SHUT...AFTER WHAT FELT LIKE A BUMP(CRASHED IN A DITCH) I WOKE TO FIND THE ALBUM WAS OVER AND THE AMBULANCE HAD JUST ARRIVED

  5. T.... G....

    I needed it most, when I was eighteen
    But now that I'm older, I don't need many things
    Just someone to hold, that's what you give me
    When dark touches your skull babe, ah baby drop that on me

    So I say Lord, all the heavens you've made
    Can't hold back the ghosts, haunt my baby and me
    Oh can't you hold 'em back, from comin' on in
    To a lovely woman, just wants her mind back again

    I will not crumble, what you want us to be
    Or bring peace of mind, if it ain't there to see
    Ah if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me
    But to have and to hold you, yeah that's the way it's gotta be

  6. T.... G....

    Beauty that sears the heart <3 <3

  7. j.... j....

    Can some one delete all these negative comments, both pro and anti Jacket/this music? I love this song and this band so much and they've done nothing but become a positive force in the world.

  8. j.... j....

    I just bawled my eyes out to this. It happens so often with this song

  9. J.... H....

    hilf mir

  10. M.... M....

    no se como llegue a esta canción pero esta genial 👌

  11. N.... W....

    I love this song. Its fantastic.

  12. a.... ....

    These comments are so tense, i wish i could find all of you, put you in a room with 25 pounds of weed, and chill music, and just smoke our differences away.

    a.... ....

    Really I'll tell ya where I'm at but it might take quite a while to smoke 25 pounds😁

  13. M.... W....

    this song is so beautiful!

  14. A.... W....

    Ever been to a concert?  Well then you have been around A LOT of drugs.  I do not condone some one bragging about how high they are on youtube of all places but if that really bothers you then you lead a sad life.  Enjoy the song and don't focus on the comments you douche!!!!!!!!

  15. s.... ....

    It's surprising that there are so many hateful, terrible comments under such a beautiful song. Can't we all just love the music and let it take us whether you're sober or high?

  16. T.... R....

    relating too well....





    and sad


    bastards

  17. p.... c....

    My Morning Jacket, this album especially, is inspired totally by LSD. Enjoy that.

  18. G.... B....

    We don't care how we come here, we just care about why we are staying ^^

  19. T.... ....

    eeeaaaah shut the f**k up.

  20. D.... ....

    Music on its own is like a drug, if not a drug, it can take you to a different place and can make you think in different ways. If you listen to the same piece of music thought on different substances(weed, ket, alchole, etc) each takes you to a different place again and you get different thoughts and different perspectives on the music and what thoughts your having.

    D.... ....

    Music becomes a part of you though which makes it infinitely more sublime. Music has the ability to emotionally tell the story of your life, a song can recall a moment in time and can live in your heart forever. Music can haunt you and give you hope.

  21. S.... ....

    Definitely. I do agree with everything you said, but I think music shouldn't have to be enjoyed whilst under the influence of some drug. I'm a big muso, and I can certainly understand that drugs like weed can offer an artist a different perspective on things, but I think the music they create can be enjoyed on its own merits.

  22. S.... ....

    I hate when people have to take drugs to enjoy this kind of music.. Don't they understand? This music is a drug! It's the only drug you need.

  23. M.... ....

    what a masterpiece

  24. J.... C....

    took shrooms, this music makes me want to cry

  25. S.... J....

  28. r.... s....

  29. j.... ....

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