Guitar Teacher REACTS

I’ve watched several of his videos in the past year, then stumbled upon this one while skimming through YouTube, this morning. Of course, when I saw the subject matter, I had to check it out. Was happy to see that this simple tune wound its way through his heart, as it did mine.

The first time I heard this was when it was released and I thought, what a simple song – but it’s not! It lends itself to more. It’s catchy and it goes through my head on repeat. It’s lovely. And David’s solo at the end just rips your heart in two. So glad you got to hear this and your reaction was priceless. Thank you!

When the Gilmour’s mentioned it was a song from the past that they always loved, I wondered about the original and I was able to find the recording from The Montgolfier Brothers. Romany and David’s version did it great justice. Thank you for bringing it to light.

Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me

Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I’ve never been
A place I’ve never been since

Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can’t go too wrong

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They’re right, you’re wrong

And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

And when the sky begins to fall
The blame, all along in you is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost

And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

Just let them walk all over you (they’re right, you’re wrong)
Laugh through the punches and the pain (they’re right, you’re wrong)
Let the life-blood drain away from you (they’re right, you’re wrong)
They’re right, you’re wrong
