Gregory Alan Isakov - Big Black Car Lyrics
You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face
You were a miracle, I was just holdin' your space
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
Heartbreak, ya know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own
And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
They won't stay, they won't stay
For too long now
This could be all that we know
Of love and all.
The song in my head, well, was all that I had
Hope was a letter I never could send
Love was a country we couldn't defend.
And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns
Well, you were a magazine, I was a plain Jane
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love to just get into some of your stories
Me and all of my plain Jane glory,
Just me and all of my plain Jane glory

Gregory Alan Isakov Big Black Car Comments
This reminds me of a boy I was once sweet with.
He was my first love, and my first driver of the big black car.
*sigh*
this song is beautiful! somehow it makes me feel closer to the people i love and by that i mean my crush because this is his brothers favorite song! such a beautiful song!
Got to this as it was a signature tune to a good film....
เยี่ยมครับ
I know this song when I’m sixteen, and when it was published, I was five. It’s kind a crazy thinking in me knowing this song with five years old, with another head, another mind.
I would really like to know what I would have thought of that then ...
The best music artist of last decade
Holy fuck I can’t even describe the beauty of this song
I can’t try to but I really can’t.
Beautiful, gorgeous, perfect, magnificent, comforting, home, love.

I came late but aleast i came to this part of the world .hello to others smile :-)
nice. very nice, yes.
I swear this'll be my wedding song some day.
I want to stand barefoot in a field on a summer night with this song playing ❤️
The most beautiful thing in life is to explain everything you feel with music, and so I try to do, just like so many artists in the world.
This is my latest single and if you wanna listen to it, it would mean a lot for me. Thanks

Best song for smoking heroin naked
hüzün mü , özlem mi , umut mu içeriyor bu şarkı anlayamadım, belki de hepsinden vardır
Don’t let them take you
Lyrics:
You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down you face
You were a miracle I was just holding your space
Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own
And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
They won't stay, they won't stay
For too long now
This could be all that we know
Of love and all
Well you were a dancer and I was a rag
The song in my head, well was all that I had
Hope was a letter I never could send
Well love was a country we couldn't defend
And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns
Well you were a magazine, I was a plain jane
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love to just get into some of your stories
Me and all of my plain jane glory
Just me and all of my plain jane glory
lowkey elliot smitt vibes right there.
He's like the modern day don mclean
My mom brought me here and I am satisfied. We were in traffic and my mom yelled jokingly, "I'm stuck behind this big black car!
Man seeing ur comment like 20 hours ago really made me feel like I’m not alone here. Like all the other comments were years ago
Same here! I love this song. It is so amazing how it's written with representation, and at the same time, with amazing melody and emotion-grabbing tunes.
It's done well.

No one gives a spider's arse about who sent you, you fucking sheep

This is all that we know of love
And all ....

BBC- BIG BLACK ______
ADORADOR De jesus in your mouth ????
This shoots me memories back of watching the blue sunrise through my blinded window after having a sleepless night and then getting up and have the urge to walk my dog. Horrible times yet pleasant memories.

Not sure why I'm here, but I'm glad I'm here.
Fuck it
How can someone unlike this song? The melody is so beautiful, the lyrics are simply perfect, it transports you in a different time
Thank god for the music ❤️

And every time I listen to this I fall in love with life once more
I my goodness I just love the song and the voice is amazing Thank you for making my day !
A beautiful soul showed me this song. I appreciate her so much.
I’ve never heard anyone who could make me happy with a sad song and sad with a happy one quite like this
Makes me feel things I don't want to feel. <3

Is the title a nod to Big Star's title of the same name from Third (Sister Lovers)?
This makes my life way less bad idk why but it makes me very happy:)
About “Big Black Car”
Isakov is in love with a gal who is going through heartbreak with a different man. Isakov followed this relationship very closely because he was in love with the girl and was there to comfort her after her rough break up. However, the girl only thinks of him as a friend.
As time goes by Isakov supports the girl through more heartbreak and bad relationships, minding his own business, but knows he could treat the girl much much better.
His opportunity to confess his love is coming to a close as Isakov feels as if he is not as good as the girl which makes speaking up even harder.
Finally, he is too late and is nostalgic about the times he was close with her and got to spend time with her.
nailed it bro!
Sooo even someone as majestic as GAI is familiar with the “friend zone”... but has put it into the most beautiful lyrical narrative??
@Squidinsweaters Majestic people can "fall" in love too
420oscarwilde of course! I would expect nothing less.
The name of the girl is jane
Thanks Mcds for always making delicious quarter pounders for me and also for showing me this amazing artist.
Heartbreak, ya know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own
Reminds me of a beautiful Past.
An Amish Killing brought me here. Neve Campbell and Thomas C. Howell.
Hope was a letter i never could send. Well love was a country we couldnt defend.

I meant to look up a different type of BBC.... But this is dope
The future is laced because you can't change your past. Deep stuff. Amazing song.
Hope was a letter I never could send.
Love was a country we couldn't defend..
listened to this on the bus ride home from a marching band competition while the girl i liked sat in the seat behind me. thought of her til i fell asleep. still reminds me of her.
Whenever i listen to this song i think about traveling in a mini mobile home with an animal companion.
Jersey Shore sent me here
potent music...😷
I could drift upon eternity to this. Carrying me away from the lost love. Holding me from the eventual conversations of how wrong I am. Even when I’m right. Eternity could swiftly pick me up off my feet and I’ll never be back for she wants only me and I to her
You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face
You were a miracle, I was just holding your space
Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced;
Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own
And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
They won’t stay, they won’t stay
For too long now
This could be all that we know
Of love and all
Well you were a dancer and I was a rag
The song in my head, well, was all that I had
Hope was a letter I never could send
Love was a country we couldn’t defend
And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns
Well you were a magazine, I was a plain Jane
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love to just get into some of your stories
Me and all of my plain Jane glory
I had never heard this song till my girlfriend posted it after I broke up with her it made me tear up pretty bad.
Sorry man,I know the feeling. Been rough since I broke up with my GF. Some songs like this hit me.
Having a love for indie folk music sent me here
Dont know why this popped up when I was typing Big Black C-, but im glad it did. Now back to google..

You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down you face
You were a miracle. …I was just holdin' your space
Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
Heartbreak, ya know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own
And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
They won't stay, they won't stay
For too long now
This could be all that we know
Of love and all.
Well you were a dancer, I was a rag

Hope was a letter I never could send
Love was a country we couldn't defend.
And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns
Well you were a magazine, I was a plane jane
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love to just get into one of your stories
Just me and all of my Plain Jane glory
Too beautiful 🔥🔥
Fantastic
So beautiful!
I posted a screen shot of this on my instagram
What's better than writing the depressed musings of a character who's lost everything and everyone she loved to this? Probably a lot of things but it set the mood very nicely 10/10 love this song to death
Significas todo para mí, Jessy, eres la persona más maravillosa y estoy muy enamorado de ti 😍

reminds me a bit of Akeboshi - "Writing over the sign".
Nice video man, this is the way hip hop should be done. I’m very selective on hip hop that I’ll listen to but I like this. You should check out some of the artists’ videos I have on my page... think you’d appreciate the music. Keep up the grind!
