Levon Helm - Calvary Lyrics

ROD.ROD ROD

Good song nd let's you know that you'll keep this appointment whether you're ready or not nd you will bow down on your knees before the King of Kings and you will confess your sins to him nd you'll be judged by him as to whether you go to Heaven or otherwise!

Mood of the Song Top Notch! RIP Levon and Thank You for all the good Music you gave to us

If they ever remake Young guns? This song would be perfect!! Amazing CD Mr. Helm!! R.I.P.!!

what does he mean by "calvary" ? what is the metaphor there ?

Walker Hayden Calvary is the place where they crucified Jesus

Walker Hayden where they crucfied Jesus

Best version of this song that I have ever heard. Would recommend this to anyone who loves
Levon and really good music.

Had the pleasure to see him @ 'Ramble at the Ryman' in Nashville. An American treasure......

Very sexy.

i have cottoned on to this man...awesome

soo sorry this man has passed on, I heard him first with the Band on Ole Dixie, never knew he was a serious recording artist in his own right! Drummers rarely get any credit or have the spotlight shone on them! WHAT A VOICE, authentic country, bluegrassed voice!

beautiful music

There's no running from your troubles. or you are sure to make them double.  You are sure to be your destiny because every man is his calvary.  Take me.

Please do not change anything on my channel.  I changed what I wanted to do on Facebook so do not go and start replacing subscriptions with things that I liked before because you are changing the songs or different versions of what I wanted, okay please?

Gives me goosebumps!

What an a amazing mman

Isaacs can write new classics - capturing the humanist aspect of old spirutuals and the timeless side story-telling folk style. He also wrote "Heaven's Pearls" recorded by Helm and many others including "Going Home" and "Cottonwood" recorded by Mary Fahl, and "Gone Today" for Ollabelle..  Catch him as a bassist, guitarist, and/or vocalist for Amy Helm, The Dirt Farmer and Ramble bands, Jim Weider and the Weight, Ollabelle, Lee Feldman, his own band The Lost Leaders, and as a frequent go-to bass player for Americana performances and recordings - including Willie Nelson, Kris Kirstofferson, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, and Elvis Costello.   

Thanks for the info! It's several sign posts on the path you have provided.

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT ANYONE SAYS ROD

Just saw Amy Helm today in Ringwood NJ. Byron Isaacs sang it today. He plays guitar in Amy's band. It was great!!

Fantastic , Man!

Ya man!

A great song....written by Byron Isaacs.

"A tribute to addiction" is a very superficial way to memorialize this song. It captures the human condition of suffering and some suffering is so traumatic that it can't be quantified. Levon Helm's generation, speaking broadly, weren't the type to broadcast their personal traumas for sympathy or understanding, it was something to be borne alone.

Amen!! Praise Jesus! :D whoo!

someone hit the wrong button,

1 dislike? huh??????

This is as heavy as it gets.

God Rest His Soul....We have all been better for having his music, sad for us.....

Amazing Music .. what a Great Loss.

thinking of Levon and his family at this difficult time...........

Levon will live on forever.

I have had a face to face in my life. Yes, I was the man who faced my destiny at Calvary and was a much better human being for helping others as opposed to being a patronizing, hauty individual who was in essence a cynical narcissistic dull scientist/musician. The scientist part is meta-fiction, except for the science of politics. One needs music to avoid tedious politics and unworthy words not meaningful to the global transnationals who do care.

AMEN TO YOU, MR. HELM,AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. SHE HAS A TRULY GOLDEN VOICE. WHAT A SOULFUL SONG.THANK YOU FOR FOR THE WONDERFUL CLIP,TASEDLAK.

Levon Helm should go down as one of the GREATEST American musicians EVER!
