The Wallflowers - One Headlight (Official Music Video)

My wife passed away Nov 13 2019. This was our favorite road trip song. I miss you Marilyn, love you forever.

My wife and I were married to this song, the good Lord called her home, and now I'm alone but when I listen to this song I close my eyes have a drink and I can almost see her, it makes me feel wonderful all night!

I know the world expected a lot from this guy. But damn. What a song. I'll take it!

Who is listening to this amazing song in June 2024 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 👇

97... I'm in the car, windows down, no AC, flying my hand in the wind while my mom's voice was singing along. Such beautiful times

I lost my dearest wife on January 10, 2020 during my Air Force training. She’s my other headlight and will always be wherever I drive wherever I go. RIP Jessy my love. Sept 23,2023: 3years have passed, I am still serving and here I found myself to this song. We live for the memories we made, we die for the ever lasting experiences nothing can take away from us. Thank you all for your deep heartwarming comments. Every Octobers (her birthday ), I reflect on my journey and celebrate the birth of what I’ve learned on my long drive.

2024 ANYONE?

My brother also just passed on the 13th of May 2024. We love you brother always will. I’ll see you again

This song takes me back to 97,I was in the waiting room as my wife was rushed in for an emergency c section,never been so scared in my life,27 and facing losing my best friend and my baby,this started playing and I focused on the tune,it helped,here I am again 26 years later still married to my best friend and our daughter now has kids of her own,where did the last 26 years go?Hearing this makes me feel like I’m back in my 20’s.A timeless classic.

The older I get, the more I respect and appreciate the 90s. I miss those days and the music.

Michael Ward Rest in Peace.  (1967 - 2024).

I was today years old when I learned this was Jakob Dylan singing. Now I can't help but hear so much of his father's voice. How'd I miss that?!

My Father died Nov. 14th 2020, I remember listening to this song on one of our many road trips. He was only 59. If you are reading this, Don't waste time like I did. Tell your loved ones you love them every moment you get. I think of him when listening to this song. I love and miss you Dad. My best friend and Best Father ever! God bless him and the 90's!

It’s 1997. It’s 7th period. 20 minutes until the bell rings for the buses. The Chemistry teacher has agreed to let us play some music. One of us has just bought this CD and this is the first time I’m hearing this song. I’m instantly in love with it. I want to go home again but I’m homesick for a place that doesn’t exist anymore.

Great concert in Charlotte, NC. Lucious Jackson, Wallflowers & Counting Crows. Jacob snuck out into the crowd after dark "incognito" wearing a green John Deer trucker hat and stood right next to me for the whole Counting Crows show. Introduced myself, as well he did. He just wanted to watch the show as well. Somewhere out there is a school teacher i met that night that i introduced to jacob after telling her play it cool and not freak out and blow his cover. She was so excited. After the Crows were finished he shook my hand and thanked me for letting him keep a low profile. He took off his hat signed it and gave it to me. I still have it.

Just my opinion, but there will never ever ever be anyone as remarkable as Dylan,,those are heavy shoes to wear. Having said that I gotta say his son deserved sooo much more respect! This was a really great band and he is a great songwriter. Popular music nowadays wouldn't deserve a musician like Jakob who could craft such thoughtful, great lyrics with a band this tight..RIP Michael Ward , rip good music too...sigh.

After my husband died, I played this song over and over and over. It reminds me of him and the life we had together. Always makes me cry. I told my boys this is a "daddy song". The line "man, I ain't changed, but I know I'm not the same" really hit home, described exactly how I felt.

Lyrics: So long ago I don't remember when That's when they said I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broke heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn With the long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face I wondered why she hung around this place Hey-ey-ey Come on try a little Nothing is forever Got to be something better than in the middle Me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like independence day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I've seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead We run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothing left She hit the end, just her window ledge Hey-ey-ey Come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than in the middle But me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone Feel just like somebody else Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams I think her death, it must be killing me Hey, hey, hey-ey-ey Come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than in the middle Me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight

This brings me back to the happiest days of my life. Such a great song.

Jacob more than lives up to his father's name. He's a great lyricist and songwriter that could easily go toe to toe with some of the music his father wrote. Bob should be proud to call Jacob his son.
