Austin City Limits

- If I saw you, I know I'd fall apart -Austin City Limits presents country soul sensation Yola.

- Oh, you're still gone You're everywhere I go, but still gone I look around, I know you're still gone You're still gone Oh It ain't easier Oh, oh Still everyone's falling in love Everyone's falling in love It ain't easier - All my favorite colors - Right - All my favorite colors Yes, ma'am My sisters and my brothers See them like no other All my favorite colors It's a good day to be, a good day for me A good day to see my favorite colors My sisters and my brothers They see 'em like no other All my favorite colors -Now a young singer from the U.K. who is shaking up American roots music -- Yola.

- All I had is gone now Goodbye fell too hard and too soon One more night until tomorrow to get through Talking to your shadow in my room All the stars are crying They know they broke their promise to me Once upon a time, I wished for a love like you But I guess sometimes wishes don't come true Broken hearts Live alone No one sees, no one knows what they know Lonely the night - Lonely the night Only the night belongs to those who've lost their love Time can heal, so they tell me But I don't think I'll be that long One more night feels like eternity right now And every passing minute pulls me down Empty arms Could never hold No one sees, no one knows what they know Lonely the night - Lonely the night Only the night belongs to those who've lost their love [ Guitar solo ] O-o-o-o-oh Lonely the night - Lonely the night Only the night belongs to those who've lost their love Lonely the night - Lonely the night Lonely the night - Lonely the night H-e-e-e-ey [ Cheers and applause ] All right!

[ Cheers and applause ] Oh.

Nice to be here.

Really lovely.

[ Cheers and applause ] This next song we're gonna do for you is called "Ride Out in the Country."

[ Cheers and applause ] I take a ride out in the country Get some wind in my hair Let it all go Like I ain't got a care Oh, oh I take a ride out in the country In the soft summer breeze Forgetting about you Forgetting about me Oh, oh Falling out of love with you It's not an easy thing to do But you don't care about me, baby Running here is all I know The country satisfies my soul When I think I'm goin' crazy I take a ride out in the country It's all I can do Where the whip-poor-will sings A song so blue Oh, oh Falling out of love with you It's not an easy thing to do But you don't care about me, baby Running here is all I know The country satisfies my soul When I think I'm goin' crazy Ee-ee-ee-ee-ee I take a ride out in the country In the soft summer breeze Forgetting about you Forgetting about me Uh-huh, oh oh Oh, oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh It's all right [ Cheers and applause ] This one is called "Shady Grove."

[ Cheers and applause ] A little shady grove A memory long ago A tale too old to know the ending I left a fortune there A wealth beyond compare A love so true and rare, I spent it I gave it all away All away It takes my breath away A little shady grove A memory long ago A tale too old to know the ending I gave it all away All away It takes my breath away A little shady grove A memory long ago A tale too old to know the ending Oh, ohh Oh, ohhh Ohh, ohhhhh [ Cheers and applause ] Uh, the next song we're gonna do for you was written kind of in response to a house fire I was in.

Uh, I was wearing a maxi dress not too dissimilar to this one.

And it was Christmastime, and I was wrapping presents.

And, uh, I was testing out a bioethanol burner.

[ Laughter ] Well done.

That's the punch line.

And -- [ Laughter ] Hoo!

Yep!

But I went up.

I went up.

And as I was burning, it dawned on me I was actually kind of happy about my life.

[ Laughter ] And so, I was like, "I'd take my life, plus fire, right now, any day of the week."

And, uh -- [ Scattered cheers ] Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ] Hooray for that sentiment.

I told this song -- this story to dear Dan Auerbach, who you all know from the Black Keys and other such fantastical things, and Dan Penn, who you'll know from writing "Dark End of the Street" and other such legendary songs.

And they looked at me a bit like I was crazy.

They were probably right.

[ Laughter ] And this song popped out.

It's called "Walk Through Fire."

[ Cheers and applause ] Standing on the side of the river Staring across the great divide I'd give all my gold and silver To get to the other side Your love is like a rescue vessel Carries me through the night Through these flames of destruction I know you're gonna make it right I know you're gonna save my life I gotta walk through the fire I gotta deal with desire The situation is dire I gotta walk through the fire of love Walk through the fire of love Sitting alone in my bedroom Thinking about the trip to come My bags are packed, and I'm ready I think I'm gonna make a run, oh, Lord You know I'm gonna make a run The red hot coals are calling And I know it's the only way There ain't no use in prolonging The fact that I just can't stay Oh, don't you know I cannot stay And I gotta walk through the fire I gotta deal with desire The situation is dire I gotta walk through the fire of love Walk through the fire of love Want you to save me Cover me where I go I need you to take me Take me across those red hot coals Oh-ho, oh oh oh Oh, yeah Hey-ey-ey I gotta walk through the fire I gotta deal with desire The situation is dire I gotta walk through the fire of love Walk through the fire of love Mmm-mm-mm-mm Yeah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh ooh ooh [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you!

[ Cheers and applause continues ] I've always been a fan of Graham Nash.

I grew up listening to The Hollies, and I really fell in love with this song.

This is "The Air that I Breathe."

[ Cheers and applause ] If I could make a wish I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep No light No sound No food to eat No books to read Making love with you Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired What more could I ask There's nothing left to be desired Peace came upon me And it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Peace came upon me And it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Oh-oh, oh-oh oh Hey, oh Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Oh, oh, oh Oh-oh, oh [ Cheers and applause ] You lit the candles on the cake And threw the match down on the floor Wish I knew what you were wishing for Handing out the paper plates To all your friends that you adore Are you haunted and wanting more?

That faraway look in your eyes It's getting harder to disguise Nobody moves the way you do Walking 'round the grocery store Only you know what you're looking for And when your working day is through You walk the darkness to your bed To dream the dreams that live inside your head That faraway look in your eyes It's getting harder to disguise Oh, Lord That faraway look in your eyes It's getting harder to disguise [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause continues ] The next song we're gonna do for you is one that's about love.

This one's called "Love is Light."

I'm in love with a song bird I'm in love with a vision of you in my head And it's all I needed I'm in love with a sweet dream In a rapturous day glowing Feeling instead of me mistreated Your love is light In the middle of the deep blue night So clear and bright Telling me I'm gonna be all right Mm mm, mm-mm Walk away if you want to Don't be afraid of telling the truth I don't mind I've been down, too Ha-ah, ah, ooh Maybe this is a blessing Being here in the twilight of magical times To walk beside you Ah, ah, ooh, ooh-ooh Your love is light In the middle of the deep blue night So clear and bright Telling me I'm gonna be all right Your love is light In the middle of the deep blue night So clear and bright Telling me I'm gonna be all right Ah, ah, hoo-ooh, ooh ooh, ooh Oh, oh oh oh, yeah It's love Uh-huh Yes, it's love [ Cheers and applause ] [ Chuckles ] [ Cheers and applause continues ] This one is called "Still Gone."

[ Cheers and applause ] You know you'll always be a part of me Trapped forever in my memory Inside my heart, I keep a photograph Reminding me of what we used to have Can't go to places that we used to be Can't handle that familiarity If I saw you, I know I'd fall apart Can't depend upon my broken heart Oh, oh, you're still gone You're everywhere I go but still gone I look around, I know you're still gone You're still gone La la la la, la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la I swear I saw you on the street today There for a moment, and you slipped away I guess we see just what we wanna see My mind is playing tricks on me Oh, oh, you're still gone You're everywhere I go but still gone I look around, I know you're still gone You're still gone - You're still gone You're everywhere I go but still gone I look around, I know you're still gone You're still gone Hey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey-ey La la la la, la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la Yoo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh Yoo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh, ooh Yoo-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah La la la la, la la la la la [ Cheers and applause ] [ Cheers and applause continues ] Who in here is in love with somebody?

[ Cheers and applause ] All right.

Well, this is kind of for you and also for the people that aren't in love.

[ Laughter ] It's called "It Ain't Easier."

Like a puppet on a string I've been hanging around, waiting Looks like you're gonna come Let's make us a home From cedar clad and oak With our bare hands Singing harmony in the morning And curling up warm at night Could life be that kind?

I'm afraid to feel that ride 'Cause I know It ain't easier It ain't easier Still everyone's falling in love Everyone's falling in love But it ain't easier Mnh-mnh, it ain't easier, child When you've found someone to love And you think that's enough That your work is done You relax just too much Let a beautiful thing Run to rust No time for singing in the mornin' Too late home to hold at night Could we all be that blind?

To let it slip away with time 'Cause I know It ain't easier It ain't easier Still everyone's falling in love Everyone's falling in love But it ain't easier Mnh-mnh, mnh, it ain't easier, child I work every day Just thinking of the ways To make you smile All you gotta do is try It ain't easier [ Cheers and applause ] Oh, Lord, it ain't easier Oh, no Still everyone's falling in love Everyone's falling in love It ain't easier Mnh-mnh, mnh, it ain't easier No, child, it ain't easier Ah, ah, ooh ooh, ooh It ain't easy Eas-i-i-ier [ Cheers and applause ] [ Cheers and applause continues ] Thank you!

[ Cheers and applause continues ] I covered a song by my all-time hero, Elton John.

[ Cheers and applause ] One of a serious crucible of people that encouraged me when I was a kid to sing by singing their songs.

And I sang this one when I was 4 years old.

Right up until right now.

This one's called "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."

[ Cheers and applause ] When are you gonna come down?

When are you going to land?

I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You cannot hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing the blues Oh, oh oh oh, oh Ah, oh, oh, oh oh oh So goodbye, yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plow Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road Ah, oh oh oh, oh Ah, oh, oh, oh oh oh Ooh What do you think you'll do then?

I bet they'll shoot down your plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again And maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain't got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground Ah, oh oh oh, oh Ah, oh, oh, oh oh oh So goodbye, yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plow Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad When I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road Ah, oh oh oh, oh Ah, oh, oh, oh oh oh Oh-ooh [ Cheers and applause ] [ Cheers and applause continues ] This one is called "I Don't Wanna Lie."

[ Cheers and applause ] I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna lie I don't wanna tear you apart I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna lie I told you right from the start Oh, oh, oh Since we got a moment to talk Why don't we just sit right down Or we can take a little walk Around the town You've been so good to me My friends would say you treated me fine But there's something you just can't see And now it's time Oh, baby I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna lie I don't wanna tear you apart I don't wanna lie, I don't wanna lie I told you right from the start Oh, oh, oh I don't wanna cause you pain Every time I have to go But the road is always calling my name To another show Oh, oh, oh Oh, baby!

[ Cheers and applause ] [ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you!

Do you want one more?

We've got time for one more!

[ Cheers and applause ] All right.

Well, we have one more for you.

[ Cheers and applause ] Um, it's a song -- If I was to name another all-time hero, it would be Aretha Franklin.

[ Cheers and applause ] Now, I recognize there are a myriad of predictable choices I could've made at this point, and so I thought I'd take at least just one foot off the most beaten track and do her version of "You're All I Need to Get By."

Thank you so much for being so warm and welcoming... [ Cheers and applause ] ...and energetic.

It's very meaningful.

It uplifts me.

Here it is.
