311 - Golden Sunlight Lyrics

I love 311, but this is vomit inducing. It’s borderline Christian radio rock. The bridge is bad ass, but other wise it’s an overproduced hallmark card.

💚🍀☀️

Sweetheart, I've been bothered
A golden sun lit path
I've been after
Grass hills, wild flowers
Sharp road trails
For a daughter
I want to be her father
I want to hear her laughter
Under meteor showers
The dogs will howl at the midnight hour

I lost my respect for 311, all their new songs sound like church songs, grow some balls back motha fuckas!🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Did you listen to "Too Late" yet?

JJ S, yeah man I heard it, DON’T LIKE IT, All new songs are tuned too high they sound like chipmunks, they need lower riff songs like GAP, & FIREWATER!!!

JJ S, yeah man I heard it, DON’T LIKE IT, All new songs are tuned too high they sound like chipmunks now, They need lower riff songs like GAP, & FIREWATER!!!👍🏻🤘🏼

MOSH MAN this song made me vomit.

I also would like to be a father someday

Super Gay.

Best albums are the ones you hear at first and think, that's ok, then listen few more times, and obsessed!

311 for pres.....emperor.

God, 311, country, wood. In that order.

I love 311.

not an ablum that i liked right off the bat but, as the years have grown so has my appreciation for these songs

Doug Landrum totally agree

I grew up listening to this album. The nostalgia of this album reminds me of the times I'd get on my moms computer, and listen to 311 music for hours after school.

There are more 311 songs on my mp3 player than anything else. LOVE 311!!

got 40 songs and counting on my iPad

So motivating

We got a condition called ambition !!! 😍

Perhaps one of the most underrated songs ever. Ever.

definitely

Best Band Ever.

It's now 2015. This song has been a conduit to acute nostalgia bombs since 2012. Here's to 10 more years of reminiscing.

+Ryan James daisy cutter is the reference you speak of, not this one. God bless you.

This is literally one of the greatest songs ever written, both lyrically and instrumentally. Not an opinion either.

Your gay if you like this song, but if your a girl its ok!

MOSH MAN this song sucks goat balls

rip mom I love you

+wes coody (razorhoof66) bless you cody

10 years and 10 more will count, and 10 more ill always love you.

One of the great moments in music.

happy 311 day! :)  one of my fav's right here!   sa's part at the bridge is awesome

Obviously the best part of this song starts at 2:43

just good.

well said my friend!....gives me goosebumps there thise diverse!

sa's vocals at the bridge are ridiculously sick!

Even at the post-chorus where they say "what if I could just let my guard down and go beyond into the great unknown" as well, too.

Element 311 contains too many positive ions. <3

Laughed at my persistence- and expressed how we are all a part of the new consciousness- love, respect, celebration and evolution...

As I waited for the band, the radio announced P-nut had just arrived. Great, going to look real bright when he comes down. When he did, I asked for an autograph and we chatted for a few. I said thank you for the fun the funk and the wisdom. P-nut thanked me am

A lil fun story for my close friends! Back in 95 maybe- grassroots was out - and 311 was on the temple of boom tour w Cypress Hill and Pharcyde, they came through Santa Barbara,ca. Issues of the show, local radio said 322 was headed down for an interview. I hauled ass down to the station and m was the sole fan waiting. Keep in mind I had no idea who was who- only having the pic from Music as reference. Two dudes in a Toyota showed up, one got a light from me. They headed upstairs and as

This song always cheers me up. :')

best song on the album for me so far

The way to NEW evolution is through non- violence. It is OK to be able to protect yourself. But the new world will not even need those skills. This is the way of us futuristic 311 fans.

2.44 till 3.05 is a killer beet

I can't even explain how this song makes me feel.

This song makes me want to watch the sun set over the Vegas strip as well as 2 drops in the ocean. This song straight up soothes my soul and gives me a sense of peace.

Same, but over a mountain side

this band is EPIC

gives me beach dreams:)

oh man this is just th perfect thing to cap the night off and give me the real tears.. I love you 311 and I'll never stop giving back thanks to yall!!

I like the cover

Funk breakdown at 2:43-3:04

The slow guitar strums make me relax so much, I feel like I am at the beach at sunset.

SA's sincerity with these lyrics helps me to deal with custody of my daughter I am going through.
Sweetheart, I've been bothered
A golden sun lit path
I've been after
Grass hills, wild flowers
Sharp road trails
For a daughter
I want to be her father
I want to hear her laughter
Under meteor showers
The dogs will howl at the midnight hour

hmm.. sounds like it could be the last track of the album.

Wow at 1st when I heard this album, i thought to myself "its pretty good". I said the same thing about 'Dont tread on me'. last year, when i heard them play some of their new songs live, i became absolutley obsessed with them. 311 is just one of those bands that sound 10 times better live.

where can i find grassroots on here? vids of the best 311 tune have all been removed or are jus shitty live versions.

@RATMfan92
1 from chaos
2 evolver
3dont tread on me
4 uplifter

me and my girlfriend used to drive to the beach in her mistubishi eclipse jamming to this song with all the windows down and the sunroof open on hot summer days. I miss those days :(

@ldrew2 You didn't read my comment very well did you?
I said: Best 311 albums AFTER MILLENIUM.
The overall best 311 album in my opinion is Transistor. Then comes Grassroots, then Music. Actually all of their 90s albums beat their 00s albums.

Between 2:43 - 3:27 is 44 of the most beautiful seconds of music they've ever recorded.

I didn't really like Uplifter with the first listen, but now i'm really getting into it.
311's albums after millenium from best to worst
1. Evolver
2. Uplifter
3. From chaos
4. Don't tread on me

@v8nightmarekk i love you

as 311 fan not let down once again...and prob my fav track on this one...evolver only one some could possibly complain about...'if yo 311 tattoo yo shiiiit!!!'

@Blavits

311 is like a fine wine, getting better with age. 9+ albums and every one is good.

its amazing how this has become one of my favorite songs ever. normally bands get stail after 20 sum years, not fuckin 311!!!

Noel!! prometo acordarme d ti cada vez k scuche sta cancion
<3 <3 @}-;-----

Can't get enough. 311 will be there for me during USAF Bootcamp and beyond.

@nirvanaspirit666 there probably one of the most normal bands out there.

@js424u what are you on, nothing like it

311 gets better, more creative every album.

yeah this song is cool but we dont need secondary vocals in every damn song, but damn this song is badass. the ones i liked from this album is this one and, its alright

such a dope, chill song... 311 is the best thing since sublime! love em

*sheds a golden tear*

i just put my dog and best friend of 15 years to sleep last night...this brings my peace. 311 forever and always

I loveee this song. :D

if everyone in the world injected this into themselves then there would be no war

@dsleeperhold

"Fuck the what" is better any how...

such a beautiful song....311 = one of the most impactful bands in history....thanx for providing such an uplifting charge to the air for so many year boys.....quite an accomplishment ....pz

so good

Seriously... I have not heard many deeper lyrics than this song conveys in any music. If 311 were more well know this would win the grammies in a sweep. Goes to show to good grassroots nature of 311 I guess.

Both, actually

i will never be a dumbass for not knowing acronyms like that.
there's no way that i could infer that from the context.
Win what? a grammy?


I like fuck the what.

SA is gold on this...such a great tune.

I just wish they recorded it without the 'yeahs' in the choruses

does ftw stand for fuck the what?

awesome song 311 ftw!!!

The whole song is definitely just a build up to 2:42 to 3:30 lol like the song is just blah for me than that hits and i melt into a pool of bliss

soo lucky!! im hopin to see them december in dallas...

this was the first song that really stood out to me on the album waaaaaay back when it first came out. Still rings well with me

i love this song!
this should become a hit on Hot 100!
i hope

This album is fuckin amazing. It has so much energy its unbelievable. you dont fully notice until you get high and listen to it. i've officially put it ahead of transistor and from chaos and i fuckin love those albums. but this album has a different energy, its fuckin good shit when you crank it up on a nice soundsystem baked

100% Fucking right man!

the bridge riff in this song is absolutely sick and raw 311. makes me groove somethin fierce. reminds me of homebrew and prisoner.

I agree that what little SA there is on this album is some of his all time best stuff. My only complaint is that there isn't enough SA on this album altogether.

I've been following 311 for some time now. Damn near every album. Been to every show except one in the ATL area (the only one being a "have to win tickets" event).

This song is probably my all time 311 favorite. Period. It used to be Applied Science (being a drummer, I appreciate it). This tops.

SA definitely SLAYS this album.

this is a beautiful song

This band is fucking unbelieveable dude!.....true from the soul sound!
They never cease to amaze me!
And in response to the comment below....LOL, you appearently don't know what good music is. Dumass!

There was negative feed back on that!?

I don't care what people are saying about Uplifter and DTOM. I love all 311 albums. This is one of my favorite songs on Uplifter.

There's a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

fuck yeah!!!!!

Heck Yes it is!

Yeah, I think Soundsystem would be a good beach album.

this song is ok but this album is definitely NOT a BEACH album

Man, this song takes me to that special part in my mind thats like total bliss. All i need now is a joint...

haha no i was talking about green day

they suck now...they used to be good

they get better and better every album.
they have mastered their craft years ago and this song shows it.

good song. SA's part is so fucking awesome!!! I love it!!
