My band opened for Pat last night. he was truly the nicest person that I've ever met! Watching him perform was the most inspirational thing I could ever hope to witness
I've listened to this album seriously every single day for over a month... Pat, thank you so much for helping me kick my opioid addiction after I fractured 3 vertebrae.
Hunter Ditzhazy I still struggle with it but fuck man I got ran over left for dead and spent 7 months in the hospital.least I can walk again.just hard not to say fuck it and use with the pain I feel.dudes legit though.
I never had any injuries or chronic pain or medical conditions. I was just a stupid, reckless, cocky little piece of shit eho always wanted to die young, like Pat. Smart enough to read and understand Burroughs and De Quincy and Welsh but way too dumb to actually comprehend any of it. I knew better, but I was also a fucking child, and an idiot besides -- so in fact I didn't really know shit. 21 years of dark rooms and black spoons, pretending to be a human being later, and then one day I almost died, and a light just turned on in my brain, and it said "live." So I did. But I'm still a junkie. Don't ever delude yourself that you're not. We're just junkies who haven't used in x-number of days/weeks/years. And none of us deserves any fanfare for growing that number. Not even if we let it grow till the day we die. All we deserve is to live. And I hope you all get what you deserve.
Have had this on repeat today. Not to discredit what's going on in the world, I feel for everyone. But I am having some personal battles right now, and this album has kept me from getting high and worse. Peace and love to all!
I always forget when it's coming, but then I'm listening to the album here and I see this comment right at the end and start laughing and crying at the same time
i've been changing pats lyrics and song names to accommodate my cat, just for fun. like... 1) my cat's idea of fun 2) bitter old cat 3) more about Kittenism 4) never trust a cat who plays guitar 5) kittens in training ...etc. :)
Kudos to those that can bare the crushing spectrum of human emotion without chemical buffers. I’ve fought and lost the battle many a time. Currently off the wagon, I always return to to this album because it gives me hope.
Hit 6 months 5 days ago. It hasn't been easy. At all. But I'm really out here, doing it. Know that you've got a community that's fighting this same shit, and I'm not talking about AA.
I'm with you on that. It seems fucking impossible... I'm on the 'done right now. Haven't used anything except, for a little over 2 years. But I'm in Europe in a small town and have to make a real effort and travel far to get decent substance. Probably for the best... This morning sucked, that's why I'm here, I guess
"making lots of strange friends in the desert; they love Jesus and America to. it's not as bad as it sounds, one day I'll explain it to you" is probably the most relatable line of ever heard after living in innercity Phoenix.
Not sure if you're aware, but it's also a reference to the Wingnut Dishwasher's Union song "Jesus Does the Dishes." Specifically the lines that say "And lately I've been thinking about how I love Jesus / Because Jesus, he was a dirty homeless hippy peace activist / And he said 'drop out and find god' to anybody who would listen / While turning water into space bags with lowlifes and anarchists"
I accredit this album with saving my life! It really helped me as I was coming off of a 6 year long heroin addiction. I really feel like Pat understood me and the place I was in at the time. I will always be extremely grateful for Pat, even though he doesn’t think shit like that is possible. Lol I love you Pat
Yeah landlords as a class are horrible, but my landlords a sweet old lady who's recovered from a bunch of addictions and a hard life and rents me a room in the house she ended up owning. One of the nicest people ive met.
I found Ramshakle Glory, Wingnut Dishwashers Union and Johnny Hobo & the Freight Trains while looking for a band that would impact me as hard as Against Me impacted me.... And I must say they got the job done... The anarchist in me tilts me towards WDU but all of Pats bands are capital G R E A T... Thanks Pat the Bunny, i jam your shit all day, and i am guilty of pirating your shit but its my word I will purchase your albums soon...
***** Funny you said that, just found out today that Pat is coming to Fort Worth Texas January 16th. And where do I live? Mutha Fuckin Fort Worth Texas lol, I cant fuckin wait, this is awesome been waiting on them to come to my state for a long time, thought I was gonna have to catch them in Austin when they came. But yea, He'll get his money hahah...
your heart is a muscle the size of your fist. it's not made of glass; it's made of muscle, blood, and something else. it doesn't so much break, as bend and tear.
Sitting on the dirty floor of a train, jaming this and looking at the beautiful Czech countryside, this is life, this is living, thanks Pat, I love you.
Sorry for the long comment, I'm here to give a hope shot to anyone struggling with addiction/mental illness since the two usually go hand in hand at least they do for myself. I doubt anyone reads it anyways but if it helps even one person than its worth it. If nobody told you they love you today, I love you. You do matter and you're worth so much. If you're fighting the good fight please don't give up, if you're actively using and you dont believe life can get better I promise you it can and will, it's hard and takes a lot of work but it's worth it. I've overdosed 7 times, been pronounced dead twice and brought back to life & been in 2 comas, have hypothyroid now and partially paralyzed the entire left side of my face for 3 months. I started using drugs at 13, by 16 I was full blown live to use - use to live addict so I tried to get clean for the first time that only lasted 3 months but I got a taste of what life could be like and seeing my dad with over 16yrs clean now and my grandpa with over 35yrs I knew I could do it too. So I kept trying never getting more than a few months here and there. Once I was 18 from the outside looking in I had the perfect life a house, cars, fiance & full ride to college and a great salary job and I lost it all by 19. I dropped out of college, was kicked out by my fiance and she broke off the engagement, lost my job & I was facing 11 felonies total 6 & 5 at separate times and a M1 the prosecutor wanted to give me 24yrs, 18yrs and 2 yrs ran consecutive but I beat the cases so I kept trying and got 6 months & then 8 months clean & then at 21 my ex-fiance and I had our son, but I relapsed so I couldn't see my son for 10 months and he is only 2 1/2, I never gave up though and at 22 I relapsed a day after my year clean. The thing is I don't regret anything I've done or put myself through because my weakness became my strength, it has took every mistake & lesson I learned for me to be where I am now as of November 1st I'm 6 months clean again. Now my fiance and I are back together, we just bought a house, I'm with my son again, I have that good job back and I'm enrolled in college again spring semester, and I'm not bragging at all I'm just saying if you do the next right thing, the next right thing will happen. Try to be a better person today than yesterday. More than any of that though I can say I'm genuinely happy for the first time in my life & that is a true blessing. Being at peace with my past and learning who I truly am through this long journey, and being able to love myself is a gift. Mr. Meseeks said it best, existence is pain. I don't think life gets easier I think we just learn to cope better. That being said, I wouldn't trade the lows I've had and dark places I've been, without them I couldn't truly appreciate the highs and all the amazing moments in life that I have now.
This album saved my life I know every word by heart and I would sing it to myself when I was homeless under a bridge in the middle of winter warming up rocks by a fire to put under my carpet I'd roll up in at night to stay warm pat the bunny is a hero
I feel this and Pat so deeply!! Listening on the train this morning I was tearing up like nothing else. Even after all these years I can't think of another album that does it to me like this (everytime).
"I’ll tell you, man, my friend William came to me with a message of hope It went: 'Fuck you and everything that you think you know If you don’t step outside the things that you believe They’re gonna kill you.' He said: 'You think no one’s gonna stop you from dying young and miserable? You're right! If you want something better, you gotta put that shit aside.'" -from "From Here Till Utopia (Song for the Desperate)" Holy shit.
This is my perfect line! "i’ve been listening to minor threat records all day, and shit if i do not know every word. i sing along as i tie off. and ian screams he’s “out of step” as i throw the cotton into the spoon, draw up into the syringe. i’ll know just what he means until i hit a vein."
I have been writing since I was 15, Pat and bright eyes are my biggest inspirations, but I'm too anti social to actually achieve my goals of forming a group. but just listening to this stuff helps keep me up and trying.
His songs are about making a better world one day. It sucks sometimes but the times it doesn't are the ones we live for . He's not saying quit your job or burn the world; He's saying get a job you like with purpous and that the world is on the edge so if we don't fix it it'll all be fucked. Don't burn the earth and leave it behind. Live the dream ;)
It's fine for you to interpret it that way, but that's not what Pat is saying on this album. Pat was an anarcho punk and legitimately felt like all systems of power should be dismantled. Which is why in Never Trust a Man Who Plays Guitar he says "The day I rob a banks the first day I'm not lying to you or me about what I believe" He was at odds with himself for being an anarchist who took no actual destructive action. But that's what he believed at the time. He says as much in this interview: th-cam.com/video/w_gX9NXI0rU/w-d-xo.html basically "if I did what I believed I'd be put in jail immediately and what would be the point of that" - paraphrasing And that's all to say: this kind of stuff is why it makes so much sense to me that Pat retired. Most of this stuff doesn't hold a lot of water if you take 5 minutes to really look at it. It's meant for you to grow out of.
Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains split with Mantis "Love Songs For The Apocalypse" will most likely always be my favorite of Pat's work. However, fuck it. This is pretty decent as well.
Richard Husmann have you heard "Die the Nightmare?" It's the "Pat" version of this album and its (IMHO) way better (it sounds a lot like a more refined Johnny Hobbo, not to say it's not hardcore as fuck, because it's way, way beyond just hardcore)
Love the direction, also love all the songs you have written. This is music that gets me and people that live a real life; not for people that live in fucking candyland. I know i'm late on commenting on this, but I've owned this record for two years.
This album is hauntingly relatable for me. I'm a forty year old who has dealt with hardcore addiction and only discovered Pat's music recently as I have a year and some change off the crack and opiates. I simply blown away but the brutal honesty and hope that Pat brings with this album. I simply cannot listen to "we are all compost in training " and "Never coming home" without tearing up with relation to his emotive lyrics!
I literally can't function until in the mornings until I listen to Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist. I can't stress enough about how pat the bunny's music is my fucking heroin.
Loving this stuff....just discovered it....I'm over in VIETNAM and have been scouting for new tunes to pass the lonely hours. If I ever get off my ass and organize my festival INDIE-POP-ALYPSE NOW!! I'll have you over. Something very NY-ANTI-FOLK Vol1 about it.
I love his music so much. From the gutters of Johnny hobo to ramshackle, the progression and growth was beautiful. This album and burn the earth leave it behind from wingnut diswashers union have been on repeat for 10 years.
Fuck, I love listening to these guys when life feels so hard as it does sometimes, it reminds me that I'm only human and I don't need to go on trying to make everyone around me happy by doing what they say is right and good. I just want to have a good, fun, life without all this stress so i might as well do that ya know?

The thing is I don't regret anything I've done or put myself through because my weakness became my strength, it has took every mistake & lesson I learned for me to be where I am now as of November 1st I'm 6 months clean again. Now my fiance and I are back together, we just bought a house, I'm with my son again, I have that good job back and I'm enrolled in college again spring semester, and I'm not bragging at all I'm just saying if you do the next right thing, the next right thing will happen. Try to be a better person today than yesterday. More than any of that though I can say I'm genuinely happy for the first time in my life & that is a true blessing. Being at peace with my past and learning who I truly am through this long journey, and being able to love myself is a gift.
Mr. Meseeks said it best, existence is pain. I don't think life gets easier I think we just learn to cope better. That being said, I wouldn't trade the lows I've had and dark places I've been, without them I couldn't truly appreciate the highs and all the amazing moments in life that I have now.
What an awful heap of tired old cliches... Jesus, say something original and people might listen.
I just love the pure rawness and emotion from these guys
going to see these guys this week!
So pumped
This album saved my life I know every word by heart and I would sing it to myself when I was homeless under a bridge in the middle of winter warming up rocks by a fire to put under my carpet I'd roll up in at night to stay warm pat the bunny is a hero
How are you doing now?
@@jacksobrooks homeless still but now about to get married
@@gam3rgirl956 Happy to hear that. Also, Jesus loves you.
@@gam3rgirl956 how are u homeless with a phone & posting gaming vids?? Lol
@@joeykelly4935 probably crashing on a friend's couch
Used to listen to this whole album on my way to work everyday for 6 months straight.
this album is huge, after all these years it still makes me ugly cry
I feel this and Pat so deeply!! Listening on the train this morning I was tearing up like nothing else. Even after all these years I can't think of another album that does it to me like this (everytime).
Been struggling with depression for 6 years now i havent found an artist that hits the right frequency for my brain
Like pat does
There are few bits of music out there that give me goosebumps, this is one of them. Two thumbs way up.
"I’ll tell you, man, my friend William came to me with a message of hope
It went: 'Fuck you and everything that you think you know
If you don’t step outside the things that you believe
They’re gonna kill you.'
He said: 'You think no one’s gonna stop you from dying young and miserable? You're right!
If you want something better, you gotta put that shit aside.'"
-from "From Here Till Utopia (Song for the Desperate)"
Holy shit.
This is my perfect line! "i’ve been listening to minor threat records all day, and shit if i do not know every word. i sing along as i tie off. and ian screams he’s “out of step” as i throw the cotton into the spoon, draw up into the syringe. i’ll know just what he means until i hit a vein."
Pats brother released info about pat on reddit. It was on the folk Punk subreddit. If y'all want an update on pat and his life
I have been writing since I was 15, Pat and bright eyes are my biggest inspirations, but I'm too anti social to actually achieve my goals of forming a group. but just listening to this stuff helps keep me up and trying.
never stop
Legend
same lol
Dude Pat and Bright Eyes my favorite artists. Much love. Keep fighting, bro.
I know this is late, but you don't need a band! Just pick up a guitar and play - that's what I've learned from Pat anyways. Good luck with it!
His songs are about making a better world one day. It sucks sometimes but the times it doesn't are the ones we live for . He's not saying quit your job or burn the world; He's saying get a job you like with purpous and that the world is on the edge so if we don't fix it it'll all be fucked. Don't burn the earth and leave it behind. Live the dream ;)
It's fine for you to interpret it that way, but that's not what Pat is saying on this album. Pat was an anarcho punk and legitimately felt like all systems of power should be dismantled. Which is why in Never Trust a Man Who Plays Guitar he says "The day I rob a banks the first day I'm not lying
to you or me about what I believe" He was at odds with himself for being an anarchist who took no actual destructive action. But that's what he believed at the time. He says as much in this interview: th-cam.com/video/w_gX9NXI0rU/w-d-xo.html basically "if I did what I believed I'd be put in jail immediately and what would be the point of that" - paraphrasing
And that's all to say: this kind of stuff is why it makes so much sense to me that Pat retired. Most of this stuff doesn't hold a lot of water if you take 5 minutes to really look at it. It's meant for you to grow out of.
Haven't heard this album in years, it takes me back to my shabby punky teens
it's amazing how relatable it is during basically any phase of your life.
Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains split with Mantis "Love Songs For The Apocalypse" will most likely always be my favorite of Pat's work. However, fuck it. This is pretty decent as well.
Richard Husmann have you heard "Die the Nightmare?" It's the "Pat" version of this album and its (IMHO) way better (it sounds a lot like a more refined Johnny Hobbo, not to say it's not hardcore as fuck, because it's way, way beyond just hardcore)
Thank you for that.
I'm just waiting for the day "Love Songs For The Apocalypse" gets a vinyl pressing... I can dream...
I would love to have one too, but i also respect the fact that Pat doesn't want to go back to the "Johny Hobbo" times anymore :)
+xElMery Yeah but I respect that he's changed but why deny the music exists at all when its some of, in my opinion, best material?
Before this blessed momment I never could though that there is exist such an undegroundly soulful folk band. stay cool guys
the opening track gives me such nostalgia 🤍
This has got to be the greatest 35 minutes of audio ever recorded in the history of recordings it's literally 10/10 👍 💯
I'm lying down, I've been nodding out since, I don't know when.~
was scrolling through the comments and read this line just as it was sang
That song hits me harder than most other songs do, damn near every time I listen to it.
Love the direction, also love all the songs you have written. This is music that gets me and people that live a real life; not for people that live in fucking candyland. I know i'm late on commenting on this, but I've owned this record for two years.
This album is hauntingly relatable for me. I'm a forty year old who has dealt with hardcore addiction and only discovered Pat's music recently as I have a year and some change off the crack and opiates. I simply blown away but the brutal honesty and hope that Pat brings with this album. I simply cannot listen to "we are all compost in training " and "Never coming home" without tearing up with relation to his emotive lyrics!
RIP to my dear friend, and all other suicide victims
I listen to this album at least once a week for the past 4 years, never grows old
Pat changed my life with each album. This was a nice send-off for me
RIP bro..... ive listened to this album hundreds of times.......wish you were still here man
Wait, who died?
loganf333 what..?
??
+loganf333 my best friend rocked this album before he died miss the hell out of him
I toast to your friend and you.
I literally can't function until in the mornings until I listen to Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist. I can't stress enough about how pat the bunny's music is my fucking heroin.
still listening, friend?
FIrst day of school today and this is the album that'll keep me going for the whole year.
one year off. hope you had a good year
Loving this stuff....just discovered it....I'm over in VIETNAM and have been scouting for new tunes to pass the lonely hours.
If I ever get off my ass and organize my festival INDIE-POP-ALYPSE NOW!! I'll have you over.
Something very NY-ANTI-FOLK Vol1 about it.
his way with words is so fuckin amazing imo.
I love his music so much. From the gutters of Johnny hobo to ramshackle, the progression and growth was beautiful. This album and burn the earth leave it behind from wingnut diswashers union have been on repeat for 10 years.
I like the sound of the sound of your band.
Organize your workplace friends. Unless you aren't employed, then organize a hobo local.
Fuck, I love listening to these guys when life feels so hard as it does sometimes, it reminds me that I'm only human and I don't need to go on trying to make everyone around me happy by doing what they say is right and good. I just want to have a good, fun, life without all this stress so i might as well do that ya know?
yeah, that’s all I hope to do - live a happy life, and maybe rub off some positivity on the people around me!

everything Pat touches is gold, but this always stands out for me. makes me miss my hometown (Ramshackle Glory and i are both from Tucson, love the dirty T-town)
I love this band
this album helped me through so much shit during my early 20's
thank you pat
Having to put my dog down on monday. This album helps me out.

journeyanddebby Shut up.
I enjoy listening to this band, it hits straight home. Thank you guys.
Lived the dream on the 18th! Saw Pat, Ramshackle, and The Taxpayers!
Thank you Vord for uploading this incredible music! Without you I never would have heard of any of this.
My favorite album ever serious thanks guys you've really helped me keep going.
One of the best albums of all time.
"Seatbelts are for people with time to die"... Good message!
I said that when my step dad and i were driving around the other day and he just looked at me and i could see the regret in his eyes
fuck, is it really were 5 years? I'm now 24, why the fuck I've chosen this music to form my personality?
Loving this, freaking rad - love & thanks
fell asleep smokin so id wake up on fire
Classic
Smoking and fallen asleep is a real thing my buddy Brian has 33% of his body burned from doing that nodded out on heroin cut the house on fire
@@blainetruan6047 I have a closet full of blankets that look like swiss cheese from back when I was on the shit.
If this album didn't exist, i probably would've ended up offing myself sometime within the last year. This thing changed my life.
One of my favorite albums ever
"Seatbelts are for people who have time to die"
❤ always a few years late,but finally i find the great music... Algorithm , i like you
Been clean for almost 3 years. Thank you Pat!
why did this masterpiece get taken off Spotify
It's there now! All we need now is "Love Songs for the Apocalypse" by Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains!
@@flowersforferdinand375 We really need Johnny Hobo on Spotify haha
Johny Hobo The reason I write music. love this !!
Just bought two of their albums and I just heard of them yesterday! Great ex-junkie music :P 2 years off the black in 12 days. Feels good.
I hope you're still going strong, brother! I can never seem to put more than a few months in between myself and that shit... Using once every 3 months isn't bad but it's a slippery slope....
Nolan, this one has the full band in, while die the nightmare is just pat doing them solo :)
Thank you for making sure i will never settle down or hold onto a job
Being punk is a lot better with your own money. Relying on others isn't very anti-authority.

I was working listening to leftover crack when these guys and whisky is my lullaby came on three days ago. I'd never heard of em..now it's all I've heard these last few days since 🤣 these guys are grest
they are the grestest
Pat The Bunny and Days N Daze are such a clutch it scares me. I don't know what I'd do without them...
thank you Pat!
Pulled outta Syria too.
Call me!!!!!
im really sad about the world right now and even if this album is ageing a bit it still really boosts my mood and makes me the slightest bit more optimistic
This album saved my life literally
So beautiful and relatable. I cry everytime I listen to Pat❤️❤️❤️❤️
