Brett Dennen - When I Go Lyrics
Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly
but I know they'd all be yearning to fly
when my, when my, when my soul
takes leave of this world
when I leave this flesh and these bones
oh I swear to you that you wont have to go alone
Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly
but i know they'd all be yearning to fly
the first time my heart collided with yours
I know I felt the ocean tickle the Earth's sandy shores
but changes come and we all know that we can't, we can't stop them
but I hold these memories and I will never drop them
and I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh my care will cover you just like the moon can do
I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh my care will cover you just like the moon can do
Hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly
but i know they'd all be yearning to fly
oh the thought of death has yet to make me afraid
'cause I will march right off this world into the next like its a grand parade
but if you feel lonely just like you want to run and hide
then I'll wrap my wings around you and give you strength and I wont leave your side
and I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
oh, my care will cover you just like the moon'll do
I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
you know I'd love to get to heaven
you know I'd love to see the view
but first I think I'll stay and watch over you
oh, I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you

This song means so much more to know that I finally got passed my depression. Looking back, this song has had a real influence. Thanks Brett ❤
I saw Brett Dennen in 2009, in San Francisco, and he sounds just as good live in concert as he does on recording. You know sometimes you see someone live and they suck horribly. Not this guy. I was blown away.
If Bob Marley and Tracy Chapman had a baby 👑
waiting for you to go
great song
have a heart layos kdo jwoan mees
Jacob from SOJA brought me here 💘
Me, too :D
Hey Im interested which Hemphill and Dennen interaction you are speaking of, please share :)
I love Brett Dennen he can always cheer me up :)
thats tough, i cant imagine what i would do if i lost my little girl
david gray much better
One of my daughter's favorite songs. She passed away April 10th, 2014, and it was one of her favorite songs. It has now become one of mine. It comforts me at this time of sadness and loss. I love you, Becky.....<3
great song.. take care Sandra.. :)
Sandra Leiviska my friend Richard Hill son died...he was murdered by his ex's boyfriend in March 2010 he was only 19months old...he said "it feels like my son is singing it too me" it was played at funeral....its a song that can be summed up by one word "bittersweet" god bless Sandra and you too Vincent James Hill
Thanks for sharing! This was painful to read for my own reasons... many blessings
To you... so sorry for your loss!!!
Thank you. This was one of Becky's favorite songs...she loved Brett Dennen. Never did I think that this song would hold so much more meaning to me after her "passing". I listen to it quite often. Brings tears to my eyes, but also comforts me. And to all the other people who commented with kindness and compassion....thank you so much, and blessings to you all.
Sandra Leiviska couldn't imagine losing one of my daughters. I know this was posted long ago. But do to this post you still have her loving memory being inlighted by others.... Beat wishes
Some day I hope to finger pick like this.
TheKaoticdrake it's been 3 years, can you do it yet?
Brett has really shown me gingers have souls I had great doubt not anymore
I have heard him compared with Passenger's lead singer.. some saying Passenger ripped this music off... They are nothing alike.... This is just not my style.. I listened though!
What was the point of your post? Seriously? Who gives a crap if you listened? Lol! We Brett fans didn't ask you to, and you didn't need to weigh in with such a weird comment.
The song "Let Her Go" by Passenger sounds an awful lot like "Ain't No Reason" by Brett... that's probably the song you should've listened too...and commented on.
He's more like ed sheeran actually
@f0rn3v3r tru3 cause he's ginger? racist!!!
@George Lee -.- I meant because of the music...
4:32 "Bitch! Why didn't you warn me?"
best song for me, thanks Brett! ^^
one of the best accomplishments ever is being born a guy red head and looking freaking sexy ;p
i hope you're okay now<3
just...dont
My dad was killed in a horrible car accident on his way to visit me along with my amazing aunt (who was also killed in the wreck), not too long before your heartbreaking experience. My pops, who was about to turn 60, and aunt died on Valentines Day 2012. Without a doubt the hardest thing I have had to deal with. This song totally is how my dad would have approached death. my heart goes out to you.
this is ed sheeran?
he's amazing live :) saw him open for iron & wine
twenty-five-year-old's song!! ^^
I love his soul....
Thanks Brett...
one of the best songs i stumbled on by accident on Pandora, of 2013 for me
maybe have some respect you soulless bitch
what's your major malfunction??
**
cough cough
rupert grint too
He doesn't count
This is so much better then some of the music put out there. I think he is a lyrical genius also.
Ed Sheeran has a soul!!!! Ed and Brett are the best!
2:32 fuuuuuck!! chills
Lyrical genius is a little much, but he makes delightful tunes.
As a fellow athiest I'd like to give you a hearty "go fuck yourself" straight from the heart.
Get a life, this poor woman lost the love of her life and went through such hell to get where she is today. Appreciate life and respect the people who go through the most because in the end, they come out stronger and not a coward like yourself.. God bless and have a good day.
I'll agree with that. Brett is a lyrical genius.
You have wings! I have wings! We should fly together!
whats wrong with you?
if you think different just keep it for you.why would you take her last hope away?thats mean dude, really, i hope you are sorry for this.
Love it
Is brett going to die..
Alex Clare ....
I agree You Rol. Henks has an IQ one above plant life and can only think of songs and words as literal. I will always love this song and keep it close to my heart. It's a deep and comforting set of lyrics.
Henks. I'll make this short and sweet. You lack interpersonal skills, caring, and generally a heart. Why mock someone who lost the one they love? Your Kansas quote is not even creative.
You failed to care that a woman spent many sleepless nights crying over the love of her life. Heres one for you.
HAHA - You lack ingenuity and your subpar IQ will not take you far. On the off chance that you are wrong and there is an afterlife, it's not looking great for you.
It is better to believe in something special in your heart than to mock the dead !
God bless that little lesbian
Alex Clare is another good artist and a ginger and he has soul!
**
cough cough
ed sheeran too
this is beautiful!
Actually there's another ginger with a soul...Ed Sheeran.
Thank you Kodiak4200 really my husband was the strong one, he was unable to speak, eat, (I feed him through a stomach tube) he was unable to walk ( paralyzed ) so much for a father of 4, a veteran who was 52 and he is my hero !!
my heart goes out to you i am re recording one of my songs kodiaks lullaby for my fallen family and i will be thinking of your story what you just went through you are a very strong person my heart is with you
how dare people mistake or compare this guy to ed sheeran. this guys better a million times over
I was JUST about to reply to ThePopsLove and say that exact thing Well I'm glad others know too :)
My husband died March 2012 he is now flying among the stars
Two words. Ed Sheeran.
Grow up
sorry to hear that
You forgot Ed Sheeran mate :)
ed sheeran?
obviously all these people making "ginger with soul" comments have never heard of bob dylan
:( I was about to say the same thing until I saw your comment.
Jealous?
brilliant red guy!!! :)
LOL but srsly, he's got more soul than most people!
thanks for letting me know. But thats still bad, just because they have red hair does not mean they are evil or anything like that. just sayin. :)
it's a joke about gingers from south park lol
ah, i love him.
i love his finger picking!
gingers talk! naw im jk awesomeeeee :) sooo cutteee
first thought I had also
lololol
@Darkpiglord why doesn't he have a soul...? *curious*
Brett is very talented and wise with his words and lyrics. He has an old soul as if he has lived an experience life and he is young. something to think about.
Brilliant. I think you are the next Bob Dylan.
Gingers got soul. Nuff said.
@PeopleNeed2LoveMore :,( stay strong!
@elkay648 It's a pretty poor joke about gingers not having souls.
ginger jokes are usually funny but not this time ._. Brett Dennen is too good for those
@Darkpiglord how doesn't he have a soul?
@SgtPlzLol you're the only one haha
@PeopleNeed2LoveMore idk if youve read tuesdays with morrie or not but i suggest you both do.
im so sorry he has ALS, stand strong and be glad he has time left and that it didnt just end with out goodbyes =/
this guy does so much for people without even knowing it
Brett's music heals my heart, I recently suffered a family member's suicide ...
@biskalero ty for your kind words I am sorry also that I will lose my darling, an amazing husband & father also veteran USN, it is said that 80 thousand veterans have died from Lou gehrigs since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed, this 11 11 11 I remember them all with a deep honor we must find a cure for this monster.
@PeopleNeed2LoveMore everyone has a body. not everyone has a good heart mind and soul. his body suffers now but he will fly when he dies
@Darkpiglord what do you mean?
I love this guy and love this song. What a talent. Quite the picker too.
I love Bretts music
best song besides ,,aint no reason''
This song is deep and meaningful, my husband is terminally ill with Lou Gehrig's disease, he will leave this world a hero, what he struggles with everyday makes everything pale in comparison, but he is learning to fly in his mind and his heart will never leave us.
So simple but so lovely <3
