Raconteurs, The - Somedays (I Don't Feel Like Trying) Lyrics






I've got so much to give
I got a lot a heart
Yeah only trouble is it's doomed from the start

And I've been riding this thing out since I was 8 yrs old
And if you could just see inside of me you'd see a heart made of gold
And I try to live a good life and keep an open mind
Gave up everything I love and kept it all inside

But somedays I just feel like crying
And somedays I don't feel like trying
But somedays I just feel like crying
And somedays I don't feel like trying

But somedays I just feel like crying
And somedays I don't feel like trying
But somedays I just feel like crying
And somedays I don't feel like trying

Somedays
Somedays
Somedays
Somedays

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

I'm here right now
I'm not dead yet

Raconteurs, The Somedays (I Don't Feel Like Trying) Comments
  1. N.... ....

    This song reminds me " tuesday's gone" lynyrd skynyrd. that guitar tone transported me. Will they be inspired by them? Love it

  2. A.... d....

    "Simple man"...hooo😱😱? No Ideas?!!!!
    Lynyrd Skynyrd...!
    Jack...go!!!!

  3. S.... ....

    God, it's so weird see this. I worked there until just a year or so ago. They've really fixed the place up since I left. Should have stayed, coulda met Jack white.

  4. J.... R....

    Definitely can tell Jack has been hanging out with Neil Young again...

  5. A.... H....

    So nice!
    "Gave up everything I love
    And kept it all inside"...
    💕🖤💔

  6. W.... H....

    Really cool video. Greatness.

  7. J.... K....

    I knew something was particularly weird about this video to me. I just now read the description below and conjured up a faint memory I forgot about. My parents took me to this place when I was real young.

  8. B.... L....

    A few times a year due to the nature of my profession I end up having panic attacks. Sometimes on the way to work, sometimes leaving work and once or twice at work. Anyway once in the middle of one of these episodes the part of the song came on “ I’m here right now, I’m not dead yet” came on. Now whenever I start to feel one of them coming I can really dampen the effects by saying this phrase over and over. I don’t think the song is about anxiety, but this has really seemed to help.

  9. L.... F....

    This song is Rock on the house ;)

  10. S.... B....

    Rock is dead? Bullshit.

  11. R.... B....

    They lead with the despair many feel, and finish with a message of hope, to stay in the fight. Well said, and well done!

  12. D.... B....

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!

  13. J.... V....

    I love this fuckin song. These guys are amazing

  14. v.... ....

    *jeff goldblum voice* i forgot my mantra


    the raconteurs "I'M HERE RIGHT NOW I'M NOT DEAD YET"

  15. M.... ....

    Isn't this a Skynyrd song?

  16. L.... ....

    First heard this song blaring in a boiler repair shutdown in a power plant, always a good way to the day

  17. S.... B....

    Tuesdays gone.... Decent ripoff to be fair.

  18. L.... T....

    No way to describe how much I Love this song.

  19. J.... S....

    Sweet song with an AMAZING last part!!! Jack is God

  20. A.... ....

    Somedays I don't feel like trying. I call those days "week days."

  21. g.... c....

    Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesday's Gone

  22. e.... ....

    Why does everybody seem to talk only about Jack in every video of the raconteurs, when Brendan Benson is equally important? Jack is more popular, but Brendan is the heart of this band imo.

    e.... ....

    eternalsunshine Brendan benson = underrated

    e.... ....

    @Alex D very much! I like white stripes more than the raconteurs, but most of my favourite raconteurs songs are written by Brendan Benson (well they never specify who wrote which song, but I'm just guessing which songs are bb's based on the sounds). He definitely deserves more recognition!

    e.... ....

    eternalsunshine I 100% agree. His voice is very unique

    e.... ....

    @Alex D yeah and his music itself is very different from jack's.

  23. c.... S....

    Lyrics...….
    I've got so much to give

    I got a lot a heart

    Yeah, only trouble is, it's doomed from the start

    And I've been riding this thing out

    Since I was 8 yrs old

    And if you could just see inside of me

    You'd see a heart made of gold

    And I try to live a good life

    And keep an open mind

    Gave up everything I love

    And kept it all inside

    Somedays, I just feel like crying

    Somedays, I don't feel like trying

    Somedays, I just feel like crying

    Somedays, I don't feel like trying

    Somedays, I just feel like crying

    Somedays, I don't feel like trying

    Somedays, I just feel like crying

    Somedays, I don't feel like trying

    Somedays

    Somedays

    Somedays

    Somedays

    I'm here right now

    I'm not dead yet

    I'm here right now

    I'm not dead yet

    I'm here right now

    I'm not dead yet

    I'm here right now

    I'm not dead yet…

  24. S.... ....

    I gotta lotta heart ❤️

  25. K.... S....

    I know a friend who could really hear those words now...😪 I hope you don’t mind me sharing this with her.

  26. C.... H....

    Make Dean the 5th member of the band please

  27. M.... C....

    This reminds "Tuesday's Gone" from Lynyrd skynyrd

    M.... C....

    exactly. that opening riff - made me think of Happy Gilmore and Skynard!

    M.... C....

    Jack would surely say you're right

    M.... C....

    I didn't recognize the tune, but got that same Skynyrd vibe listening to this

  28. r.... d....

    Awesome

  29. T.... K....

    Sometimes I wonder if things are just all randomness or if things do happen for a reason because I feel this song was made at the perfect time and I heard it just when I needed it the most.
    I was driving home after an appointment with a probate lawyer, my mom had recently passed away and her live in boyfriend emptied her checking account while she was in hospice.

    My mom died 4 months ago because her breast cancer metastasized to her brain. At 31 years old I had to sign dnr papers and put my 46 year old mother in hospice and watch her die. I have been so angry at the world lately. my mother had me young I thought that meant I was lucky because we would have more time than others together. I have been depressed with serious health anxiety.

    So as I was driving home thinking about how tired I am of waking up feeling like this. I was scanning the radio because my child had my phone. On the college station, which I rarely listen to ever this song came on. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much because of a song. I feel in that moment I needed this song and it’s message. I get up everyday and try to be happy and some days are hardy than others but I have hope that I won’t feel this way forever.

    T.... K....

  30. M.... N....

    It's like Tuesday's Gone ran out of methadone and Prozac

  31. L.... T....

    Wow... must have gotten inspiration from The Allman Brother band- Whipping post.

  32. L.... P....

    I love the mantra "I'm here right now, I'm not dead yet" at the end of the song. It's perfect how it grows in intensity, the song starts sad but then ends full of hope. It's like shouting at the world: "I'M NOT DEAD YET!". Beautiful song :)

  33. E.... V....

    In high school our senior trip was to House on the Rock, Me and my friends slipped outside and got soooo High!!! Best trip ever!!!

  34. J.... M....

    Sad music like this gets missed, glad I found it \m/

  35. D.... M....

    I inspire, so keep doing me justice 🎸☝️😊

  36. S.... ....

    Sounds like Lynard Skynard's, "Tuesdays Gone"

  37. H.... G....

    Brendan was a regular at a record store I worked at. Nice person and I'm happy he's getting recognition.

  38. 5.... ....

    Technically, "somedays" is not a word. ….I'm just sayin'. :P

  39. T.... G....

    Thanks Jack!

  40. D.... P....

    Reminds me a little bit of “You Look Wonderful Tonight”, some “Simple Man”, and even “Iron Man” ..I LOVE IT!!!! These guys are living rock legends!!

  41. M.... ....

    Always somewhere - Scorpions. Ho detto tutto.

  42. r.... g....

  43. M.... ....

    I know Jack may Groan when I ask this, but I really don't know. Is this available on vinyl?

  44. b.... ....

    Can anyone else hear TUESDAYS GONE by Skynyrd?

    b.... ....

    DUDE YES, thank you I was looking to see if anyone else commented. :)

  45. B.... M....

    Wonderful song. It deserves a better video. Loved the location, but the song is beautiful. The images aren't. Just my two cents.

  46. V.... S....

    Some songs find you right when you need them 💔

  47. P.... ....

    Cincinnati show was ELECTRIC! Danka <3

  48. N.... S....

    Great song. The minute I saw the background and the elements I knew it was filmed at "House on the Rock, WI" creepiest place I have ever been to.

  49. G.... L....

    Какой потрясный вокал и музыка

  50. G.... L....

    My ringtone

  51. G.... L....

    Мой рингтон на телефоне

  52. J.... H....

    Brendan Benson is the best part of The Raconteurs, underestimated and super talented. Listen to his solo stuff, it'll blow you away!

    J.... H....

    I agree with you

    J.... H....

    He brings so much to the table with this band, it's almost annoying how people seem to not even notice his contributions.

    J.... H....

    He's not as exciting or "interesting" as Jack White, but he's a better song writer. Straight up. I love some of Jack's solo stuff too, but it's very same-y. Brendan understands song structure. And his lyrics are just more..... I don't know......grown up? Less vague? More relatable?

  53. M.... F....

    Every riffs find by Jack become a treasure

  54. C.... E....

    I'm here right now. I'm not dead yet.... words to live by.

  55. P.... A....

    20 years later they’ll say, Jack White was the greatest musician back then, but we know it right now!!!

  56. R.... J....

    I've got so much to give
    I got a lot a heart
    Yeah, only trouble is, it's doomed from the start

    Somedays, I don't feel like trying

    Somedays, I just feel like crying
    Somedays, I don't feel like trying
    Somedays, I just feel like crying

    You're welcome😘

  57. P.... A....

    You can hear the Lynyrd Skynyrd influence (Tuesday's Gone). This is a good song.

  58. D.... D....

    Free bird

  59. E.... y....

    That place was cool many years ago. It's a one and done kind of attraction.

  60. B.... F....

    How is this not even nominated for album of the year? No wonder rock n roll is on it's way down. This is the best album I've heard in years. I'm here right now...I'm not dead yet

    B.... F....

    Better than Black Keys, who I also like.

    B.... F....

    Ok boomer

    B.... F....

    Mark Hanson I’m literally starting a classic rock cover band called OK Boomer. Know any drummers?

  61. E.... F....

    Visited this house as a kid, it was creepy as hell. The room at the end of the video bounces like a diving board and has a window in the floor.

  62. S.... J....

    has a skynyrd style of phrasing.....good stuff!

  63. H.... M....

    Woah! I've been depressed for a few months now and I have to say that hearing this song resonated with me big time.

  64. P.... I....

    Man I hope you guys keep this going. Yall rock.

  65. K.... ....

    Must admit, I wasn't a fan of this when I first listened but the more and more that I listen the more I like it.

  66. M.... ....

    Shot in The House On The Rock in Wisconsin!

  67. W.... ....

    Sounds like Lynard Skynard being plagarized.

  68. N.... T....

    The editor of this video deserves an award!

  69. V.... T....

    one of those days

  70. J.... R....

    Love this song.

  71. R.... M....

    Sparklehorse vibes from the video

  72. G.... S....

    Amazing band! Thanks YT for recommending it. 😍

  73. A.... P....

    "Where the children cry..." :)
    But great!

  74. P.... D....

  77. R.... g....

    keith richards- i'm here right now, not dead yet? how in God's name is he still alive at 75? damn, how many lives does he have? more than 9 lives,duh.ha,ha,ha,ha.

  78. R.... g....

    takes a real man 2 cry. hell.yeah. i should know cause I am a 'geek freak" apparently. kiss this 'freak's ass.

  79. G.... C....

    dostaje ciarek na plecach od tego vibrato z intra

  80. L.... ....

    Sounds like a complete rip-off of "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

  81. J.... R....

    Is tuesday gone with the wind.?.

  82. R.... Q....

    02:43 sounds like Beyond - Leon Bridge

  83. A.... C....

    This song is an instant classic . I don't get how it s not more unknown

  84. B.... T....

    It seems as though this song was meant to be about writing songs too. Not for me ;-(P

  85. A.... K....

    I can see this becoming an anthem of hope for millions <3

  86. J.... M....

    The spelling police in me can only fixate on the fact that some days is two words, not one.

  87. L.... C....

    This riff is very Lynyrd Skynyrd-ish. I luv it! Jack White is a genius... <3

  88. A.... L....

    Love you all💕

  89. C.... L....

    sinto-me abraçada!

  90. B.... A....

    Got a Tuesday’s gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd vibe.. dig it

  91. K.... S....

    I know they get sick of me writing nice things about their music....but the point is that they DO make an incredible impact on my life. The good, bad, hope and despair....I could have the worst day ever and their songs just turn it all around and put a smile on my face It doesn’t matter where I’m at....they always pull through. Love the Raconteurs TMR staff, and most of all, Jack. White. thanks, guys! You make the world a much better place.

  92. F.... t....

    Got that Tuesday's Gone vibe.

  93. V.... ....

    Great song recorded in one of my favorite places in the world.

  94. M.... m....
