Isakov, Gregory Alan - If I Go, I'm Goin Lyrics






This house
She's holding secrets
I got my change behind the bed

In a coffee can
I throw my nickels in
Just in case I have to leave

And I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go I'm goin shameless
I'll let my hunger take me there

This house
She's quite the talker
She creeks and moans
She keeps me up

And the photographs
Know I'm a liar
They just laugh as I burn her down

And I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go I'm goin on fire
Let my anger take me there

The shingles man they're shaking
The back door's burning through
This old house she's quite the keeper
Quite the keeper of you

I will go if you ask me to
I will stay if you dare
And if I go, I'm goin crazy
I'll let my darlin take me there
If I go, I'm goin crazy
I'll let my darlin take me there

    i like it

  15. S.... ....

    One of my biggest wishes is to find someone who listens to exactly the same music as I do. This song calms me down, make me smile, makes me appreciate the small moments in life, because, well... They last for a moment. The breeze, the clouds, sun, birds, flowers and most important, smiles. I love you all ☺️

    S.... ....

    Hey man, I guess we have a same taste in the music. Let's share.

    Came straight from Hunting hill House ....great song .....

  26. W.... W....

    Love that sort of lazy lagging or restrained drawl in his pronunciation. Idk why it gives me the impression off confidence and trustworthiness. Maybe I knew a good man who spoke like this in another life. Maybe it was him.

  27. C.... S....

    This house, she’s holding secrets
    I got my change behind the bed
    In a coffee can I throw my nickels in
    Just in case I have to leave


    And I will go if you ask me to
    I will stay if you dare
    And if I go, I’m goin' shameless
    Let my hunger take me there


    This house, she’s quite the talker
    She creaks and moans, she keeps me up
    And the photographs know I’m a liar
    They just laugh as I burn her down


    And I will go if you ask me to
    I will stay if you dare
    And if I go, I’m goin' on fire
    Let my anger take me there


    The shingles, man, they’re shaking
    The back door’s burning through
    This old house, she’s quite the keeper
    Quite the keeper of you


    I will go if you ask me to
    I will stay if you dare
    And if I go, I’m goin' crazy
    Let my darlin' take me there


    If I go, I'm goin' crazy
    Let my darlin' take me there

    “If I Go, I’m Goin'” is the twelfth track of Gregory Alan Isakov’s 2009 album This Empty Northern Hemisphere. Folk singer Brandi Carlile provides backing vocals for the song.


    In a blog interview, Isakov sheds some light on the meaning behind “If I Go, I’m Goin'”:


    “We were trying to write a…story song about a woman, or about a guy who lost his wife and he was living in that house where she had died and he kinda goes crazy.”


    and also explains that the song was co-written with his friend Johann Wagner:


    “we wrote ["If I Go, I’m Goin'”] on a long trip down to Kerrville, TX…I had my truck and we just kinda sat in the back of the truck and then we’re working on the verses and chorus and we’re up to this part where it’s…(sings) “I will go, if you ask me to” and then…our friend John Eliot, just walks by and he’s like ”I’ll stay if you dare!” And we’re like “alright!” (laughs)…That whole song was a co-write. All 3 of us. And then John came in at the end and sort of helped us a little bit more with it. That song happened pretty fast."

    Virgin River, Season 1 episode 9

  29. T.... H....

    I'll be graduating from community college this year.

    May be transferring to a four-year university.

    I'm terrified.

    I feel like I'm finally growing up. Finally familiarizing myself with the ins-and-outs of money, politics, studying people more in depth, pursuing my fever dream of becoming a professor. So much money that I don't have will need to be invested; so much hard work is coming; agonizing change, fear of the unknown, excitement, emptiness, beauty, curiosity - these are all enveloping me.

    And it may not even work out. I may not be able to do it this year if the financial situation isn't in my favor.

    I would ideally be moving into a dorm or an off-campus apartment. I'd be leaving my father, with whom I've lived for 21 years.

    This song will be my strength. I'm going to hold it close, and let it take me there.

    T.... H....

    Best time of your life. Try to think of that in the midst of all the new commotion.

    T.... H....

    @Wittski Whiskey thank you. :)

    T.... H....

    Hope it works out for you friend, godspeed.

    T.... H....

    @Andrew thank you so much, I appreciate it.

  34. O.... ....

  35. E.... Z....

    i really wanna go home

  36. S.... ....

    Love everyone here! I don't want this kind of music to become mainstream. This music genre is my precious!! I would love to have a conversation with everyone listening to this.. <3

  37. D.... J....

    Beautiful.

  38. A.... G....

    beautiful! makes me feel close to my crush even if hes an hour away from me. makes me think of him! such a calming and relaxing song

  39. S.... T....

    So calmingly beautiful and sad at the same time ❤️

  43. M.... a....

    Different, NICE

  44. S.... s....

    I want to live again with the one I love ❤️

  45. A.... C....

    I really hope I'm not alone forever :( I crave to find someone I can love, laugh, cry, talk, hold and care for, Im scared its getting to late, I'm 28 and I've only had one girlfriend, idk it's songs like this that make me wanna enjoy it with someone else then it gets me thinking if I ever will:/

    A.... C....

    Well the good news is you'll find that one day it just takes some time

    A.... C....

    I hear ya. If it makes you feel any better, I’m 33 and going through a divorce, not my choice. So I’m just starting over! But I understand your fears. It can feel incredibly daunting trying to find your person in this huge and confusing world. You will find them, though- 28 is still young, hang in there.

    A.... C....

    There is not a time for anything, you will find someone worth your love but in the mean time work on yourself and self improvement.

    A.... C....

    There's no script to follow, this life is chaotic unlike what most beieve. There's no such thing as too late
    I hope u find this person and i hope i do too

  46. A.... 2....

    Im not an artsy kind of guy generally speaking...but right now as I sit alone in my van at 12:08 in the middle of the night in the winter cold...i adore the the serenity of the artwork. Its hitting me like a ton of bricks and I that.

  47. R.... H....

    Wondering <3

  48. J.... B....

    Happy 11th unniversary to you all, take care of yourself and keep trying making your dreams come true. <3

  49. N.... ....

    Here’s to living and struggling on. We’re all doing the best we can to keep surviving and making everything out of each and every moment. I’ll think bad and remember that we are more than just the passing second.

  50. J.... M....

    I love you Everett and Peyton.

  51. J.... D....

  57. C.... B....

    Got this from haunting on hill house

  58. L.... D....

    Whoever read this, "You are special, secluded from ordinary, you're a part of nature, you're the Moon's, mountain's, tree's partner.. You're one of them.. !

    L.... D....

    And you who wrote this comment "you're the uplift in the stars, you're the whisper in the winds...you're the warmth of the sun.. ! Thanks for an awesome comment.

    Memory is an awful curse. With age it gets much worse.

    But I dont mind.

    Better leave than get burnt into ashes...

  62. o.... b....

    şu şarkıyı deli manyak yıldızların altinda izlemek de farkli bi şey :)

  63. S.... R....

    GAI's music helped me get through one of the hardest times in my life so far. In retrospect, I now, truly, understand the important role that music has in our lives. I wish you well, everyone! Lots of Love.xx

  64. A.... P....

    I have been reading some comments and I just feel like I also need to tell something to everyone. Life is not always a smooth path forward. Life will be rocky but there will still be calm smooth paths you can look forward: I am going thru some stuff myself and I am looking forward to a day when I will be able to say "This is a smooth path". Good look everyone and I wish you a good day/Night

    i am not going somewhere else, for you my love.

  67. l.... l....

    this is such a beautiful song :)

  68. H.... H....

    Is that Brandi Carlile in back-up vocals?

  69. L.... M....

    Idk why but, the vibe of this music reminds me of awae 🍎👩🏻‍🦰

  70. R.... B....

    Sad but uplifting at the same time.

  71. S.... J....

    Someone brought me here.

  72. v.... j....

    this is a fucking masterpiece

  73. D.... B....

    this makes me feel so many things and it feels sad but peaceful and beautiful. It is quite nice on the soul.

  74. J.... c....

    Man! this song made me cry.

  75. K.... H....

    Sadness promotes empathy. I think that's why this comment section is so nice. When we're suffering, we feel like we should console others.

    Born and brought up In the gulf till I was 19, had to move to india because of financial difficulties. Sucks not having people around who can relate to me or such kind of music.

    This house

    And I will go... if you ask me to
    I will stay... if you dare
    And if I go I'm going shameless

    She's quite the talker
    She creeks and moans

    5 years ago, tinnitus made me suicidal. The Lord, music and playing my deceased fathers Gibson saved me.

  84. M.... L....

    Tava ouvindo essa música por causa da Maldição da Residência Hill... Melhor série que já vi, e essa música é maravilhosa

    Congratulations you made it to the end of The Haunting of Hill House

  88. p.... g....

    It hurts even to this day. I had to go. The pain was worth it. The stars still shine bright. What is to come is worth this pain

  89. R.... M....

    Who else came here from the haunting of the hill house?

  90. J.... C....

    I love you, the one who thinks that this song is a treasure. :)

  91. C.... G....

    So this has got to be one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, and Haunting of Hill House helps, as I’m genuinely sat here weeping, two years after it came out, it affected me that much- it is truly the most gorgeous story ever told on screen. My lord Mike Flanagan is a genius.

  92. R.... M....

    Su voz es mágica 🌌

  93. K.... ....

    Perché i like nascosti?

  94. E.... ....

    I'm not able to understand English songs without subtitile...hence iam rarely hears English songs....wht should I do...??any suggestions...

    E.... ....

    You know I was also the same like an year ago. But if you keep listening these beautiful songs and English movie with subtitles you will slowly become able to understand it without subtitiles.

    E.... ....

    @ZquaD okay I will try...
