Description:
WHEN YOU AWAKEThe BandThe Band (1970)Ollie told me I'm a fool. So I walked on down the road a mile, Went to the house that brings a smileSat upon my grandpa's knee, And what do you think he said to me?When You Awake you will remember everything, You will be hangin' on a string from your... When you believe, you will relieve the only soulThat you were born with to grow old and never knowOllie showed me the fork in the road.You can take to the left or go straight to the right,Use your days and save your nights,Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat,Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.When You Awake you will remember everything, You will be hangin' on a string from your... When you believe, you will relieve the only soulThat you were born with to grow old and never knowOllie warned me it's a mean old world,The street don't greet ya, yes, it's true;But what am I supposed to do:Read the writing on the wall,I heard it when I was very small.When You Awake you will remember everything, You will be hangin' on a string from your... When you believe, you will relieve the only soulThat you were born with to grow old and never knowWash my hand in lye water, I got a date with the captains daughter. You can go and tell your brother, We sure gonna love one another, Oh! You may be right and ya might be wrong, I ain't gonna worry all day long.Snow's gonna come and the frost gonna bite, My old car froze up last night. Ain't no reason to hang your head I could wake up in the mornin' dead. Oh! And if I thought it would do any good, I'd stand on the rock where Moses stood.

Mar 20, 2011 - i was lucky enough to meet and interview him. it was really nice because it was for a crap little music rag and i just cornered him at a show. we talked for almost an hour and he never even asked for anything but my name. i was gonna head up to woodstock for his funeral to just hang out around with other fans but couldn't get up there.

Apr 2, 2011 - Couldn't have done it without Robbie, couldn't have done it without Levon, couldn't have done it without Garth, couldn't have done it without Rick, couldn't have done it without Richard.

Apr 5, 2011 - If Eric Clapton joined as planned-then we could do it without Robbie.................

Apr 11, 2011 - ...id actually like to do it with robbie personally; especially the way his hair is in the studio segments of the last waltz...in my dreams he would turn up at my place just after the soundstage shoot, kinda tired, but with a bit of energy to spare for me; not too much, i wouldnt want to pressure him or anything...maybe he would bring the big guitar with him and it would sit by the bed...

May 10, 2011 - Is there anywhere I can find a live video of this song?
lapat202 Says:
Jun 9, 2011 - @spinaltarp007 This song was written by Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson. They're credited right on the LP, but i agree that Danko is without question, the man.

Sep 7, 2011 - An awarenes of Garth Hudson's contributions to the Band, should be some kind of litmus test for musical appreciation.

Sep 16, 2011 - The words are: "When You Believe You will Relieve the only Soul that You were born with, to grow Old, and Never know ". "Wash My Hands In Rye Water, I've Got a Date With the Captain's Daughter." " You go and tell Your Brother, we sure gotta love one another."

Jan 9, 2012 - "you will relieve the only the soul that you were born with to grow old and never know"? that is insanely demonic. saying you will live forever but never know your own soul... wow. and also "you will be hanging on a string from your... (heart)" since that is what is implied. that's extremely painful imagery. that would hurt and this song is totally evil.
dangerbirdzuma Says:
Jan 26, 2012 - nooo feel the love from the song!

Mar 5, 2012 - Shouldn't you be over at The Christian Music station? Or blowing up a Planned Parenthood clinic? Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense.

Apr 19, 2012 - As soon as I heard of Levon's death I immediately came here. A terrific musician and frontman, RIP.
