Rival Sons - Soul Lyrics






They may take everything from you,
they may take your time to think things through.
They'll tell you everything that you want to hear,
until you tell them that what they say is true.

That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,
and your given voice sounds so meaningless.
That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,
that you think you sound just like your heroes.

But don't give them your soul,
don't give them your soul.
Don't give them your soul,
save that soul for me.

I've got those same five walls,
stare at the ceiling trying to transcend it all.
that's when your doubt creeps in, tells you to break your wings,
tells you you need not try, because you're afraid to fall.

That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,
and your given voice sounds so meaningless.
That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,
that you think you sound just like your heroes.

But don't give them your soul,
don't give them your soul.
Don't give them your soul,
save that soul for me.

I may hurt you,
darling I might leave you.
I might absentmindedly mistreat you.
But at the end of it all,
and at the end of the day,
I only want one thing.
I just want you to be you.
Don't give them your soul,
don't give them your soul.
Don't give them your soul,
save that soul for me.

    Jay Buchanan has more soul in his little finger than the entire grammies lineup.

  4. D.... M....

    "....Stare at the ceiling and try to trancend it all..." shit!

  5. B.... G....

    I swear Robert Plant and Aretha Franklin had a son named Jay

    Why is it that people either hate everything or think that everything is "OMG The GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!! ??????????"
    And why are so many of the same comments parroted over and over so many times on youtube?

    Ma favourite discovery in 2018, after sad year with Cornel.

    N.... S....

    Nenad Stevanovic: Have you heard Cornell’s last album from (2015), Higher Truth? Simply AWESOME,! Eerily, listening to his lyrics on that album is, to me, like a foreshadowing of his demise.

    N.... S....

    Sure Ive listening it a couple years also this days...Yes, from this point of time, that all seems to lead to tragic end, but that album was pick of his solo career.
    I think so...

  17. E.... D....

    The drums at 4:30 blow me away...

  18. F.... F....

    buchanan's voice reminds me of paul rodgers

    F.... F....

  19. J.... R....

    Who ever posted this playlist is "The man!" Awesome Thanks

  20. I.... ....

    led zeppelin- baby come on home. coincidence?

  21. W.... J....

    Rock on

  22. m.... ....

    Gene Simmons was wrong, rock n roll will never die. As long as great bands like this keep producing and we keep BUYING

  23. F.... C....

    my beloved...

  24. A.... O....

    lets dance baby

  25. V.... ....

    Pure emotion even from the stereo.

  26. A.... H....

    I like the way Jay says "Such an eloquence..."

    A.... H....

    Adelia Hogarth: Right! How many songs have you heard with eloquence in it? Um, none except for Soul!

  27. A.... D....

    So much soul!!

  28. U.... M....

    Excelentes en vivo,abrieron el concierto de Black Sabbath Detroit MI y dejaron un buen sabor de boca en la audiencia

  29. J.... J....

    omfg i just stumbled on these guys when my drum teacher said they where opening for ozzy in winnipeg, im 14 but i can tell this is led zepplin. the acid rock of the 2000's. i love it

  30. m.... ....

    THE  DOORS RESURECTION

    m.... ....

    led zeppelin?

    m.... ....

    The Doors = The Doors
    Led Zeppelin = Led Zeppelin
    Rival Sons = Rival Sons

    That's all

    m.... ....

    They sound like Zeppelin

    m.... ....

    Karo French: Greta Van Fleet sounds like Zeppelin! The thing is, today’s generation can’t appreciate what the music was like back in the day, so if these bands are coming out with, what we may consider “similarities”, fine so be it. If it’s going to bring back pure ROCK N ROLL, I say bring it on! As The Who says, long live rock, I need it everyday!

  31. D.... B....

    Rival Sons get right down to your soul.

  32. L.... S....

    Amazing... 5*

  33. r.... ....

    all i hear is that paiste giant beat

  34. c.... ....

    who cares Zep  Purple they are not they are RIVAL SONS no question they are they SONS XXX

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

    So much zeppelin influence...I love it.

  36. C.... M....

    There has definitely been a revival of great rock and roll in the past 10 years.  Corporate radio just chooses to feed crap to the masses.  If you search and dig, there are some great things happening in music right now. Rock on Rival Sons!

    C.... M....

    CHRISTOPHER MARTIN yeahhh men like greta van fleet too, they rock just like rival sons

    C.... M....

    The sons, greta, monster truck, black stone cherry, and plenty more, but those are my top 4 right now

    C.... M....

    The masses want crap, rather than being given it. Maybe it's a question of nature vs nurture, but I think most people are ignorant, and they run the radios in the first place.

    C.... M....

    Well said.

  37. A.... U....

    easily one of the best bands of all time

  38. M.... V....

    ~ This is so Awsome...luv this band ~

  39. D.... R....

    Yeah!!!! LA Love Rocking

  40. K.... G....

    What does he says after the "I just want you to be you"? because all the lyrics I've found don't have that part

  41. M.... R....

    Rival Sons is my favorite discovery of 2014.  Sure, they've been around longer than that, but I hadn't heard of them until I heard Myles Kennedy give them a shout out this year. 

    Now, I'm spreading the news. 

    M.... R....

    @HybridChoky Ya I first heard of these guys when Myles gave them a shout out on That Metal Show. I've been into them ever since. I totally agree with you when it comes to the range of Myles Kennedy and other singers, especially Chris Cornell. Cornell's range is incredible and has so much power to it

    M.... R....

    I found these guys last year when they randomly popped up on a Songza playlist and I've been hooked ever since. However, I'm a huge Myles/AB fan and that is so cool he gave them a shout out! I like him that much more now

    M.... R....

    Funny thing is they were warming up for Guns N' Roses in 2012, that's how i discovered them.

    M.... R....

    M Ross .. I was introduced to them through THAT METAL SHOW . so I picked them up and was shocked when I heard it . total heavy soul rock...best band in the world right now... going to see them tomorrow night. !

    M.... R....

    I’m with you and that “bandwagon”! I haven’t stopped listening to them since my son told me about them like 6 yrs ago! There’s a new post of a new song live from Nashville! I honestly can say I like every song on every album! Can’t get enough of them! Can’t wait until they start touring more in America! Otherwise I may have to book a trip to Europe to see them!

  42. d.... l....

    Best band around today, this song is absolutely fantastic. Best voice in rock today.

    d.... l....

    if you like them you should check out crobot

    d.... l....

    declan lamour-boyle you should check out Greta Van fleet as well

    d.... l....

    Ya after greta van fleet and the struts then rival sons for me as far as new goes1✌🤘

    d.... l....

    check out dirty honey

  43. P.... ....

    no offense to the current lineup, but this band's appeal lies in Jay's voice and passion.. get him the best musicians to back him up and see how high he will go.. 

    P.... ....

    @Mac Jacobite Despite the fact they're jazz trained? I think they're all on par

    P.... ....

    you're an idiot

    P.... ....

    After seeing them live 4 times over the past 3 years. I must disagree sooooo much

    P.... ....

    +Mac Jacobite any musician that does that doesn't deserve a career

    P.... ....

    Please! Scott Holiday is a legend. The rest of the band is why Jay sounds so good.

  44. J.... M....

    if these guys would've came out in the 70's, they would have been as big as Zep

    J.... M....

    No, they remind me of several bands they are influenced by. Foghat, The Small Faces, The Faces, Deep Purple to name a few. They have similarities to Zep, but all the bluesy rock bands in that era sounded similar.

    J.... M....

    @James McKnight
    But mostly and with difference with Led Zeppelin, the drums, the riffs, all, it is Zeppelian sound mainly.

    J.... M....

    I disagree. The sound ranges across the board.

    J.... M....

    They are the Zed Leppelin xD

    J.... M....

    this'll surely piss a lot of people off but I'm sorry jays vocally better than Robert Plant...

  45. p.... ....

    Great band!  This comment is officially a place holder for me to go SEE THESE GUYS IN CONCERT!

  46. A.... M....

    They were so good in Nashville :) touched Jay. Ahh!

  47. B.... ....

    Bass line very similar to "All to Hell" by Black Diamond Heavies. Anyone loves Blues with a twist of Punk/Hard Rock, check them out. You won't be disappointed. Check em' out!

  48. f.... ....

    Soul- what music has been missing for a long time.

  49. k.... ....

    Long beach California

  50. I.... ....

    Seriously the greatest band I have heard in a long time. This kind of music has true emotion behind it and it's easy to sing along to. The rock and roll feel is just a bonus. Musicians should take notes. This is real music!

  51. Z.... T....

    They did exactly the same thing for me. I'm taken to this band like pigs are taken to mud, like cows to cud

  52. s.... ....

    they're from California. I thought they were from ontario too at first.

  53. M.... ....

    jay looks like a girl at 4:42 :p

  54. V.... S....

    Yes power trio...lead guitar..bass...drums...a power trio band...zeppelin...who...cream....etc

  55. M.... ....

    Power trio?

    M.... ....

    I count 4 guys there

    M.... ....

    Plus theres more now

  56. V.... S....

    Everyone wants to compare them to Zeppelin or Free. But they are the Rival Sons. They are a power trio band. They are fucking great. It isnt Zeppelin. Its blues rock. They are putting the blues back into rock and roll. As Zeppelin and Free and Cream created blues rock into rock and roll. Simply just carrying on the flame to this great sound. Thank you Rival Sons

  57. t.... b....

    Loving this band from Ontario Canada!

  58. k.... ....

    True, Not only was there performance riveting They were gracious with there time after the show we saw at the Marquis theater in Denver

  59. M.... R....

    I love this band! I am in Rochester, NY and went to St. Catharine's back in May to see them. I was totally blown away and hooked. After the show. they hung with everyone for pictures and autographs. They were so nice and humbled by our excitement. I just came back from a weekend in Toronto and London, Ont. to see them again. Totally awesome!!!

  60. k.... _....

    Loving this !!! The mood and groove is just out of this world.

  61. J.... M....

    My ears salute you guys... more of the good stuff, pls...

  62. s.... ....

    Just saw these guys in concert tonight. Fucking EPIC. Met the singer and guitarist, both super nice guys. This is one band I hope I get to see again and again and again.

  63. M.... ....

    Earache records is the only label I like apart from third man

  64. G.... L....

    Absolutely fantastic. So nice to see this sound jump out when we have such garbage in the mainstream media world. Janis would jam with these guys if she was still around

  65. B.... B....

    Most of their songs remind me of Zeppelin but this song reminds me a lot more of Janis Joplin. They're just too good. Wow.

  66. O.... R....

    this song makes me wanna get high

  67. N.... C....

    Don't give them your soul,
    save that soul for me.
    I may hurt you,
    darling I might leave you.
    I might absentmindedly mistreat you.
    But at the end of it all,
    and at the end of the day,
    I only want one thing.
    I just want you to be you.
    Don't give them your soul,
    don't give them your soul.
    Don't give them your soul,
    save that soul for me.

  68. Z.... M....

    long beach california julio.

  69. C.... H....

    so ssmmmooooth, love it

  70. S.... K....

    Free were better than this bro. Andy Fraser was a better bassist, plus Kossof was one of the best ever. These guys are great thought.

  71. B.... C....

    I hear the Zep influences but to me they sound more like Free ala Paul Rodgers and Paul Kossof. Zep were way, way, way better than this.

  72. C.... ....

    Great track.Just been introduced to this band.Will listen to more and buy albums. Try The Idle Hands a blues/rock band from Chesterfield UK. Another great band but so far unsigned!!!!!

  73. C.... s....

    Bands like Rivals Sons and Black Crowes really put my soul on fire

  74. G.... O....

    so much Zeppelin inside them, there fucking great !
