Nice song...

[bowa36]

i like Clown

[grilldanmo]

I’m hearing Neil young and Band nuances and vocal inflections as well as harmony and lines from his I Need Word duo with Grover. This is a beautiful tune.

[TwoStep2888]

sounds nice

[jasonfilatov]

Definitely a strong slow tune. E1 spot Dave, load it up!

[MS3641]

I see what’s behind
the crumblin’ innocence
the magician is trained to deceive
and innocence stands
as torn as a child
that goes crumbling down to his knees

i go over this dream(s)
and i wanna fix everything
but innocence don’t fare so well

i go over these dreams
and i wanna fix everything
but innocence don’t fare so well
so well

i see what’s behind
these (clowns? crumbling?) and innocence (innocents?)
the magician is trained to deceive
and innocence stands
as torn as a child
that goes crumbling down to his knees

i go over my dreams
and i wanna fix everything
but innocence don’t fare so well
yeah i go over my dreams
i wanna fix everything
but innocence don’t fare so well
so well

At first listen, a pretty tune. Another tiny little song. The lyrics seem almost a direct counterpart to the kids that will fix everything in the song Come tomorrow.

[Cptn. Monkeyman]

I’m thinking it’s “stands tall as a giant”

[rhizingbines]

Cool lyrics but Dave sounded like shit singing it.

[RiotAct]

send in the clowns.. there oughtta be clowns...

[rhizingbines]

According to copperpot, the song was written for some new movie.

[Perch1019]

New bathroom song

[ToySoldier#34]

I like it, probably boring at a show but I like listening to it

[jmkratt]

I can see why everyone was talking over the song.

[Chumlee67]

If it does translate to full band, E1 or otherwise I'm good without it.

This line is good, I like it. Sort of bland musically.

[jmkratt]

Bland? It’s another song Dave plays on the piano with 2 fingers. It’s beyond bland.

[tduffman]

Nice song, I dont get why Dave is writing all these songs at such a high register these days.

More info:

Well, right now I’m working with a friend, Anthony Lucero, who wrote this beautiful story about a clown. That story has become a small film called Halo of Stars and I worked on the music. I remember when I first played Anthony some music I’d thought of for the film: We were sitting in the same room and I was thinking, I hope he’s not expecting music like my band’s. And Anthony was thinking, God, I hope he doesn’t play music that sounds like … Then I played the music, which was very different for me, and Anthony really responded to it. That was a very beautiful experience. I wasn’t answering to anything other than the act of making new music, and that music was made with pure intention.

Hey friends, I decided to put together a quick cover of this after hearing it last night. Hope you enjoy!

Sounds like it was written in about 30 mins. Musically and lyrically

[WidespreadMule3]

I found it very blah

[Matt]

Can’t imagine why come tomorrow was so awful, when new gems like this are what’s new.

Sarcasm I assume?

[DMBCardinal]

Come Tomorrow is good. The album, not the song.

[karczews41]

We get it, Matt doesn’t like CT. Also, Clown is meh

[jmkratt]

Come Tomorrow sucks.
