Look It Here
Nathaniel Rateliff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On my knees begging please
Look it here baby I'm calling out
Crying now here me here me plead, yeah
Look it here baby I'm lucky now
When I weep let me be
Look it here baby it's all I got
I got a love so hard I can't stand it
And with a heart so weak and abandoned
You'll have to bury this man
And if that's what it takes for a love that must be proved
Look it here baby I'm coming out
On my knees begging please yeah
Look it here baby I'm coming out
On my knees begging please yeah
Look it here baby there's no one else
Come on now hear me out
Look it here baby I'm coming out
Look it here baby I'm coming out
Look it here baby I'm coming out
Look it here baby I'm coming out
Look it here baby I'm coming out
Look it here baby I'm coming out

From a man raised on soul, blues, and rock and roll classics... Thank you, and bless you, for showing true music with emotion still exists. I really hope to get out to a show some day!

If these guys don't score big at the Grammys there's no justice in the world.
Alastair Brewster

I can't get enough of this!! It's amazing, Nathaniel is, and his whole band are just doin it right!!

I really hope that a new album comes out amid all of the hell that we have all had to deal with over this past year. Nathaniel has made some stellar music over the years, but his work with the night sweats is something that I feel I can hold on to for a long time. Please boys, we need more of this because the world has been lacking in this kind of spirit.

Not only is all their music incredible, but the guys who produce their video does an excellent job - every one has a nostalgic vibe with great vision for the feel of the music.
