Sturgill Simpson - Breakers Roar Lyrics






Oh, how the breakers roar
They keep pulling me farther from shore
Thoughts turn to a love so kind
Just to keep me from losing my mind
So enticing, deep dark seas
It's so easy to drown in the dream

Oh, and everything is not what it seems
This life is but a dream
Shatter illusions that hold your spirit down
Open up your heart and you'll find love all around
Breathing and moving are healing
And soothing away
All the pain in life holding you down

Bone break and heals
Oh, but heartaches can kill
From the inside, so it seems
Oh, I'm telling you it's all a dream
It's all a dream
It's all a dream
It's all a dream
It's all a...
It's all a dream

    Oh, how the breakers roar

    Thoughts turn to a love so kind
    Just to keep me from losing my mind
    So enticing, deep dark seas

    This song means the fucking world to me. That last verse speaks to my relationship with my younger brother to a tee. He broke my collar bone, then months later he took his own life. It was a long trail of bad relationship, him giving up on this life. All I can say is man I couldn't have wrote better lyrics for what I feel when I hear that last verse.

  5. C.... l....

    This song breaks my heart in a good way

  6. M.... ....

    No one in country music right now could hold Sturgill Simpson's guitar strap!!

  7. J.... W....

    Favorite song of all time. This has gotten me through some dark and lonely times.

  8. Z.... P....

    I've never heard country music as phenomenal as this.

  9. T.... H....

    This Song takes me to a place that I Never want to come back from.......💕🌊 if this song is all a dream I don’t want to wake up.

  10. J.... G....

    This song is so beautiful it breaks my heart. I cried the first time I heard this song, then cried again when I read the lyrics. What a fucking masterpiece.

  11. J.... R....

    Thanks sturgill for bringing back real country music

  12. M.... S....

    464 people have no taste

  13. D.... ....

    I feel like Hyde from That 70s show.
    I finally get country

  14. m.... ....

    Man this one hits me hard.

  15. J.... L....

    Jesus Christ. Sturgill is my new favorite artist

  16. M.... C....

    Gawd! I love this!

  17. M.... S....

    Sturgill brings it, elevates it, thank you Sturgill, thank you so much.

  18. N.... V....

    Just further proof. If you wait long enough, the real country will come back. This. This is country music.

  19. J.... D....

    This is a very underrated song in my opinion off a very amazing album with lots of great hits

  20. S.... C....

    Best album I've heard in 20 years.

  21. H.... F....

    He's amazing. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it.

  22. p.... ....

    rofl I have hated country music with a passion most of my life... then I come across this and its just unreal how good this is

    p.... ....

    Not all country sounds the same. The myth that all country sounds alike is so false. Sturgill simpson is more different than most but I like a lot of country and hate even more but music of all genres is full of good stuff.

  23. K.... B....

    This song is mainly the reason I made it through my miscarriage. I had it on repeat in my car for weeks, months maybe. One day I got on here to listen & where the heart slips out of the baby carriage... I just lost it. Thank you, Sturgill, for finding the words for my pain but also leading me up & out of it. "Breathing & moving are healing & soothing away all the pain in life, holding you down..." I have no words to describe how yours have healed me.

  24. A.... O....

    There's a hint of John Anderson (Seminole Wind) to this. Great Voice.

  25. G.... R....

    This guy is just GREAT!

  26. M.... M....

    Mans a genius

  27. J.... B....

    what are those whistling noises at the beginning of the song and a few times throughout the song? is that an animal call? it sounds really cool

  28. c.... d....

    Sturgill Simpson. You make feelings.

  29. G.... L....

    This is one of the most grounding and Earth binding songs to listen to on psychedelics. This shit made me feel like I was being cradled in the cosmic ladle of the universe itself and caressed by nature and love. It's all a dream, friends.

    G.... L....

    Sturgill is always with me on my mushroom trips.

  30. C.... S....

    2 short. Need infinite loop.

  31. D.... C....

    If you like this, make sure to listen to his version of "the promise". You will love it.

  32. M.... M....

    Sturgill freaking is a modern day outlaw music love it jam it daily

  33. S.... C....

    Beautiful ✌✌

  34. C.... D....

    Is it me or this song brings me to tears every time

  35. C.... S....

  36. R.... V....

    I think this song changed my life.

  42. J.... H....

  43. G.... B....

    Sturgill has that Waylon feel deep and meaningful stories in lyrics. A sound country has needed for so long! Luke, Jason,and all rest you lip stick cowboys take notes this is how it's done

  44. n.... s....

    Ill always love you janelle😘😘😘

  45. n.... s....

    412 people are fucking stupid

  46. C.... M....

    JEZUS CRIST WHAT A SONG!

  47. J.... N....

    Atmospherics remind me of the soundtrack from David Lynch's Twin Peaks.

  48. E.... M....

    Such a beautiful song...

  49. Z.... H....

    Pure art

  50. S.... P....

    When was the last time you heard country music art? This is a work of art all the way around.

  51. c.... s....

    Such a touching song

  52. w.... r....

    Mr. Simpson there's only two people I know on this planet called Earth
    That can put the C back into country, one of them is called Wayne Reed
    You can hear him noodling on
    SoundCloud
    Some of the hottest Blues I've ever heard coming from a Memphis guitar player doing Jimi Hendrix Red House

    But that unsung hero a man and white Carla World adventure Capital trying to keep a sick wife alive hasn't had a break-in music but if this man were to write one country song and sing it and play it it would put the C back into country music, classic unsung hero story someone should do a movie about the story of Wayne Reed

    II would be you my friend

    You have a great voice I saw your guitar player on Austin City Limits tonight the guy is just picking up solutely outrageously crazy

    Reminds me of the old Alan Jackson days with his guitar player

    And your voice is just smooth as silk for Country man

    Please keep up the great work and keep brother Wayne in prayer he plays Blues from the heart because he live the Blues living up in Lauderdale courts in Memphis moving to California @ 14
    And I can write a book on the rest of it
    Because I am Gary Wayne Reed
    Blessings
    Grace and peace
    In the savior's
    Christ Jesus name

  53. M.... M....

    This is beautiful

  54. M.... B....

    Love this song so peaceful and sad. It is a damn shame that the CMA awards are so ridiculous this is music not that pop crap that Nashville puts out now

  55. T.... H....

    The look at 1:27 just puts such an emphasis on that line. Such an unbelievable feeling I get from this song.

  56. J.... W....

    Why are people disliking this? So confusing.

  57. S.... R....

    You, Isbell, and I all had a child around the same time. Our war stories are all the same. 10 years ago, I got busted on I-81 and detoxed in Sullivan County, TN Jail. I now only partake in the nouns in "Turtles". I wish I could express the Love for my daughter as much as your record does for your son. "Love is the only thing that ever save my Life." 'Wish I'd done this 10 years ago." So beautiful bro. Peace, Love, and Happiness...

  58. R.... P....

    How did you get those string sounds? They sound amazing

  59. E.... C....

    I like getting my ass spanked to this song

  60. J.... Y....

    I'm his next bass player

  61. F.... ....

    388 morons prefer songs about comfortable jeans, firecrackers, and humping trailer dwellers down by the river.

  62. C.... W....

    Need to do away with genres. I hate to associate sturgill with anyone other than him self. The whole real country argument is damn old. There’s good music and bad music only two genres there needs to be.

  63. s.... ....

    This is a guy who busked outside the CMA awards with his grammy at his feet. I know there's a place for bro and pop country. But none of those fools can hold a candle to Strugil Simpson, Jason Isbell, Sam Lewis,  or Stapleton. I'm glad there are beacons of light in a sea of excrement.

  64. b.... ....

    Ain't no tractor rap here boys...

  65. M.... R....

    I'm a old school country fan, ETC, DAC, Bellamy Brother's, Milsap, this guy is bringing the lyrical side to another level, also uses ALL the instruments, I think he is the next big thing if he keeps up what he's doing.

  66. E.... N....

    this is one of the prettiest soul touching songs I've ever heard in my life and the video is beautiful, sturgill is one of the most underrated artist alive, fucking love his covers as well, I never thought i would hear a country singer cover Nirvana and truly make it his own like he doe's for in bloom, and he also pulls the cover of the promise off beautifully as well, I actually like it better than the original💜🎵💜🎵💜🎵💜🎵💜🎵💜

  67. R.... A....

    Feeling a bit lost in life and this one is hitting all the right notes today, thanks Sturgill for writing songs with meaning.

  68. T.... C....

    This songs so easy to listen to... I love it!!!

  69. s.... s....

    Lmao fuck all you haters yall afraid of real instruments and some lyrics that touch ya heart like classic country

  70. K.... C....

    I am just learning about his work and I don't know how long he's performing but I got to listening to him about 2 months ago. He is great ,I wish I had been enjoying his a lot sooner. Thanks to John Prime, how I discovered him!! Great, great material!

  71. E.... N....

    a beautiful masterpiece❤🎵❤🎵

  72. M.... A....

    Hoping to play this at my wedding next fall just have find a way to do it justice. Love your music sturgill

  73. J.... T....

    Rush Phi Kappa Psi

  74. P.... C....

    Luke Bryan thumbed down this song...Said it made him look like a douchebag. I agree.

  75. f.... ....

    Did he just create his own genre of music?? If he did, count me in

  76. W.... B....

    my old lady had to leave canada back to czech because her visa ran out and they wont let you stay if your married anymore without goin thru expensive hoops. now we with other folks but still love one another, and we all have to learn to cope with that. this song hits my break waters right home. thanks for the tune.

  77. x.... ....

    The only modern country music I like, the rest is just shit

  78. C.... H....

    This is great music

  79. C.... B....

    my God!  Brilliant!

  80. p.... ....

    Beautifully haunting....

  81. d.... ....

    Great song but I hope this isn't the new country I want more long white line! Lol Like I said always excellent but this ain't country.

  82. R.... O....

    Fuck this is a Nirvana song?

    R.... O....

    Woops. In Bloom is the Nirvana song.

  83. J.... L....

    Still a Fuck'n amazing album.

  84. D.... M....

    It's all a dream....don't waste your life being unkind,take this life in and exude love and kindness.

    So tonight I dream on. Tonight I try to forget the future.

  94. M.... M....

    Hello welcome to good country music.

  95. j.... ....

    Oh, how the breakers roar
    They keep pulling me farther from shore
    Thoughts turn to a love so kind
    Just to keep me from losing my mind
    So enticing, deep dark seas
    It's so easy to drown in the dream

    Oh, and everything is not what it seems
    This life is but a dream
    Shatter illusions that hold your spirit down
    Open up your heart and you'll find love all around
    Breathing and moving are healing
    And soothing away
    All the pain in life holding you down

    Bone break and heals
    Oh, but heartaches can kill
    From the inside, so it seems
    Oh, I'm telling you it's all a dream
    It's all a dream
    It's all a dream
    It's all a dream
    It's all a...
    It's all a dream
