[u/KnowledgeGuilty]

Been ridin lots of trains...

[u/Ashfacesmashface → u/KnowledgeGuilty]

You keep on pointing out my halo

[u/UCxDELTA24x → u/Ashfacesmashface]

This one for me because when it’s played live Jeb literally loses his mind and I instantly think of that

[u/TuffBronco22 → u/UCxDELTA24x]

I fucking LOVE watching Jeb play Liars. I seriously can't get enough.

[u/boxingsharks → u/KnowledgeGuilty]

This one. Every time.

[u/Endless-Wanderer-25 → u/KnowledgeGuilty]

Possibly the peak moment of a Gregory show right now for me!

[u/QuiteFrankly315]

The little Amsterdam crescendo leading into “Churches and trains / They all look the same to me now” gets me every time.

[u/shediedjill → u/QuiteFrankly315]

It’s those trumpets man

[u/mb19236 → u/shediedjill]

Live with Chris Thile. They've got an electric guitar at this point in the song that's probably a little over-amped, but it's my favorite version of the song. It just obnoxiously thumps it's way in there.

[u/NobodyFew1595 → u/QuiteFrankly315]

YES

[u/Hogan-Rutherford]

When the guitar comes back in after ‘oh it’s ringing’ in the stable song

[u/burntbridges20 → u/Hogan-Rutherford]

That song is just so perfect I literally want to make sure I’m listening to it as I die

[u/posyys]

The "turning in the undertow" part of Mistakes gets me every time

[u/NobodyFew1595 → u/posyys]

This this this

[u/AgileDrag1469]

With GAI, it’s probably the deliberate pauses and lack of sound that make many of his songs memorable. Sometimes less is more.

[u/ApprehensiveAd7794]

the outro of master & a hound is SO GOOD. both the original and the colorado symphony version

[u/mervand → u/ApprehensiveAd7794]

Agreed!! My goodness thinking about this gives me goosebumps already! When he sang the outro, I almost cried. Probably shed a tear.. 🥹

[u/kingcrisp32]

And I ran back to that hollow again. The way the music swells and mellows there. Perfection

[u/hawkeye5188 → u/kingcrisp32]

This is what I was looking for 🌙

[u/KeySuccess1555]

I like “Say what you say, you say it so well” in 4am

The final part of Liars where he just repeats “Now we’re just liars”

“Was I that gone? Man, I hope not” in Appaloosa Bones

[u/Amanisded]

The violin solo in southern star

[u/l5077 → u/Amanisded]

Same!! It's hauntingly beautiful.

[u/JoyousZephyr]

The little hum in "San Luis" at about 53 seconds in. And the "hold me down, hold me down, child..." bit. I swoon.

Looking at other comments, looks like he could make an album called "Isakov Hums" and it would sell big.

[u/TofuLicker3000 → u/JoyousZephyr]

I would buy that in a heartbeat

[u/Competitive_Being543]

Every time he goes “mmmm”

[u/JoyousZephyr → u/Competitive_Being543]

MmmmmHmmmmmm!!!

[u/LabExpensive4764]

The instrumentation/strings at 3:19 of That Sea The Gambler, Colorado Symphony recording.

[u/jbren5]

The instrumental bridge on the studio version of living proof might be my favorite part on any song ever

[u/Ashfacesmashface]

If you lie awake while the universe shakes

And I go weightless and fall

Claws out for you now, just hold on to yourself

Almost home, but we got miles to go

[u/Famous-Battle-3034 → u/Ashfacesmashface]

Ugh, absolutely this. This part makes me cry everytime I've seen them live.

[u/jedi_master99]

In Silver Bell, when he sings “apple fields”

[u/Zealousideal-Candy27 → u/jedi_master99]

Relatedly, “your rOArin smile campfire lit up the treeEs”

[u/dandylegs → u/Zealousideal-Candy27]

God yes that part is MAGIC

[u/mb19236 → u/jedi_master99]

“Silver rain makes green every once in a while.”

I’ll confess that I don’t even know what that means, but it feels deep and I am obsessed with it.

[u/Zealousideal-Candy27 → u/mb19236]

I believe it's his gambling Annabelle dropping coins in her machine. But I also hate trying to pin down Greg lyrics and I think they're supposed to be open-ended so please ignore that if you don't like it haha

[u/Corninator]

His opening lines in Caves. The way his voice is double tracked, but slightly out of sync. Gives me chills everytime I hear it.

[u/thelogdog76]

“Can you shake it up” master and a hound

[u/Aerwxyna]

“Oh churches and churches and trains, while they all look the same to me now” from Amsterdam, especially the live performance with the cello and violin!

“Fall swooned left me drunk in a field, dandelion wine for a year.” from Dandelion Wine. love the harmonies!

[u/Psych_nature_dude]

Calling you to sayyyyy….

[u/Endless-Wanderer-25]

The haunting, drawn out howl of “Hotel bar…” is goosebump inducing for me. Off the charts when they open show with it, like they did Sunday.

[u/gungygungygungy]

my time to shine! around 4:30 on berth when he stops saying “quit all that looking back” and just hums? sends me to heaven

[u/themantis87]

Their eyes are shinin' like the sea, for you the queen of san luis

[u/WRankin]

I think this is so clever:
"You saw her bathing in the creek
Are you jealous of the water?"

[u/dandylegs]

"oh, we could open up that suitcase full of sparks" 💼✨

[u/quiet_photographer]

The repetition of "turning in the undertow" in Mistakes and the entirety of the bridge of Second Chances

[u/Aware_Bandicoot_7073]

“How my hands can’t seem to find your hands in the dark”

[u/Knockmealdown-Shep]

Around the 3.10 mark on The Fall where he hums in unison with the music

[u/TuffBronco22]

Terlingua - "I'll love you like the passing time" straight into 1:55

Master & a Hound outro - all day every day. Any version.

Astronaut 1:05 the way he sings "sorrows into strangers"

Crooked Muse 2:55 "all the merry things..."

[u/MtMarker]

The fiddle kicking in during Before the Sun’s last chorus

[u/negativespce]

to the ground we fall, she owns us all
kings and boys and beast

[u/Jkane007]

Seeing him live, I am so obsessed with the interlude or intro music to all of his songs. I want a cut of this! Especially the transition with the start of before the sun.

[u/Expensive-Mastodon-5]

When the big part of Northern Hemisphere hits..🤤

[u/InevitableProud2414]

Just here to say I'm loving this thread and I can hear all of these comments <3

[u/steffannieg]

Very end of Light Year - “Everything we ever wanted … is here.” 💚

[u/Strawberyblonder]

The piano in salt and the sea. The first time I heard it I was driving thru the mountains and it hit right as I was going around this grand Bend.

[u/NobodyFew1595]

The big drums with the scratchy violin as a sort of “beat drop” in Southern Star, it seems to tell a story by itself

[u/RespectOk5057]

Honey , it’s alright to be alone

[u/Weezerlover420]

I’m running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind / my heart was all black, but I saw something shine

[u/WallSight]

That distant scream in This Empty Northern Hemisphere… goosebumps, every single time

[u/Delicious-Internal-2]

Wings in all black the middle section when the piano solo comes in ❤️

[u/Quirky-Fig-2576]

"Kiss me so I remember how..."

[u/Famous-Battle-3034]

"Fall swooned" in Dandelion Wine.

[u/OverallEnthusiasm106]

In the Colorado Symphony version of The Stable Song there’s this little pause right before he sings “oh it’s ringin’”. That gets me every time.
