Note from Benjamin Tod:
I wrote the script for the “Brighter Shade” video in the span of about five minutes. I had been pitched a few music video concepts from my management at Space Colonel, but I felt that this song needed a personal touch. I was talking on the phone with Mike Vanata about the potential of him coming out from Wyoming and filming something on my land here in Muhlenberg County, KY. Toward the end of the conversation I told him I would think of something all the while it was already coming together in my head. With 10 minutes of hanging up I sent him a basic script of this concept.
This video encapsulates mine and Ashley’s relationship in a lot of ways and the general dynamic of the feminine and masculine spirit. I have always wandered into the unknown in search of something my soul craves that has often led me into traps unforeseen. Ashley has always been there to clean me up and tame the beast within me as part of her sacred duty. As years have gone by and I have gained wisdom through risk, reward and ruin I have become more effective in bringing back valuable treasures from my quests into the darkness. Over time she has become the ultimate embodiment of empathy and patience that my soul needs to heal from those journeys. It is a tale as old as time spanning every culture and creed of human.
There are a lot of psychological connections between the visual and phonic aspect of this piece of art. Every other shot carries a dual meaning mostly related to the song and history of Lost Dog, but also to the process and people involved in the creation of the video. This song develops such an authentic and universally felt notion within the concept of soulmates. This video is an absolutely perfect interpretation of this song and in unison became a masterpiece.
I want to thank Mike Vanata from Western AF for his incredible work and the invaluable friendship we share. I want to thank Ashley Mae for being my guiding star and healing light through years of trial and misfortune most often brought on by my pride and foolishness. I want to last thank God for the incredible gifts of reason and creativity he has given me. The talents and responsibilities I carry are incredibly rare and are not lost on me now that I am fully a man. I will try and not waste it and I pray you don’t waste yours either. -Benjamin Tod

Lyrics:
Each day I love you more
Every time I seem to open up the door
I think I could be someone you adore
Or at least better than I used to be
With that things will change
Like the breeze on every foolish April day
I could leave but some part of me would stay
And it would drive you mad eventually
Only I can love you like I do
And you dare to trade it all for a
Brighter shade of blue
Take my hand and close your eyes
Follow me through all the politics and pride
I was born to be a leader in the fight
Of anything you dare to achieve
With a promise and a sigh
I can only offer my entire life
Final breath will leave some photos and some rhymes
But no one here can claim eternity
Only I can love you like I do
And you dare to trade it all for a
Brighter shade of blue

Chills through my body, my best friend showed me Benjamin Todd and lost dog street. We had so many nights crying over our beers to his music. He passed a year ago from our viscous disease. Shortly after I was given the gift of desperation and sought help. I just celebrated my first year of sobriety. I lost my best friend but through this music I’m able to still connect to him. Crying as I type this,from the bottom of my heart Thank you for your music and I can’t wait to see you live in may.
❤
I wish you the best of life and recovery xo 💚🌱🌿🍀
Much love 💜💜💜💜
Love ya brother. Keep the head high.
Sorry
I think the dog deserves a Oscar for his performance.
genius performance
I hope, some day, you will find your dog.
Morning coffee, Lost Dog, and a couple tears to start the day. That's alright. Was cleansing. Better for it.
Today's going to be ok.
Cheers.
Yessir.
Don’t think you’re alone brother, I listen to this song before work and do the same thing on a regular basis.
Helped me get clean from fentanyl, I just had my brothers funeral this past weekend he overdosed he never did it he was one of the people who helped me get clean the most and I never thought I’d lose him. Not sure what I’m getting to but I’m lucky to be here today and for everything and everyone that helped me
Dont feel bad ive been on fen for a decade, its a monster when coming down.
Hey brother, it's been a couple of months since you posted. I hope you're doing well ✌️ There's a good number of us here that know the pain. I know that isn't much comfort & I know loneliness is the beast that never really goes away, even if you kick your habits he still waits for his moment. So I wanted to tell you that you're not alone and even if one of us can help from hundreds of miles away through a phone, you've got people who will talk to you. Keep yourself safe!
Lost dog is aging like fine wine. This album is going to be awsome!
Finding lost dog street band was one of the best moments of my life. I can vividly remember riding my motorcycle or riding with the windows down on a beautiful southern night and genuinely just breathing again. I never would have anticipated these two beautiful souls giving my music library the light and the dark. But years later, I still can't get enough. Life shit kicks us all - and love is the only power strong enough to push us onward. I genuinely cannot contain my excitement to see you guys on tour one day. Keep living and keep writing beautiful memoirs of life. Xoxo
It makes us all appreciate and love Ashley and the many strong loving women like her. ❤️
Still looking for mine :(
I know you're dreaming about that blue flower dress....
I noticed this too grade A stuff fr 🫶🏼
But you know we can't afford things like that. Not quite yet
@@sampopa1043right
Good eye😎
a criminally unappreciated genre of music
There are artists that move me deeply.Jonny Cash, Waylon Jennings, The Band, Hank, CCR, Van Morrison, The Dead, Warron Zevon..... Lost Dog, is right up there. They're talent and authenticity waters my eyes.
He's softening up, she's shaping up and I love it. Good song/video 🤘🏼🤠
Dam it Ben you know how to make a grown man cry,soo good can't wait to see you guys on the West Coast
As much as I love their past work, I also love that they're branching out in a slightly different musical direction. Talent this good shouldn't be corralled.
Woke up, saw a new Lost Dog Street Band video. Knew it was going to be a good day. Listened thrice so far and it just gets better.
Wow, so beautiful. The way she looked at him when he was leaving for the day...
You all have helped save my life with your music. I wont be missing your concert when you come to Spokane. Forever a fan.
Everyone talks about ole benny flippo but Ashley Mae is why people get to hear him.
Shout out to Ashley Mae for being the light house in the storm. ❤
My partner died of different circumstances, but it was sudden and it was in my arms. He left me with our cats who keep me here, but I'm broken and I may never be home again. This video wadded all that up in a ball and pummeled it into my gut. Y'all are always tugging hard on the real stuff and highlighting beauty alongside tragedy, and I love you for that. I don't think I can watch this one again, but I absolutely appreciate it. Awesome storytelling evolution you've had 🖤 Edit: to be clear, this is a compliment twisted up with some public af trauma processing. Your music is fundamental in my experience and I appreciate the crap out of you both. 🖤
I’m sorry for your loss
I am so glad I found their music. It has definitely helped me through some hard spots in life these past few years. Addiction, funerals and 6 years in the worst prison in Indiana. Thank you Benjamin for knowing how to put words to how I feel

The note from Ben (The talents and responsibilities I carry are incredibly rare and are not lost on me now that I am fully a man.) and the lyrics of this song (Take my hand and close your eyes Follow me through all the politics and pride) are so deeply given and received. Thanks to him.
"I was born to be a leader in the fight of anything you dare to achieve" I am so glad I have someone that makes me understand that line!
Touched my soul with that
I can tell when I’m listening to Lost Dog. No other sound like them.
On repeat ❤
Love this. The story telling in the video is amazing! The song is incredible!
Ben I ride FTRA for 35 years and I love your music . I thought for a second you were selling out to Trashville . At the end when your hound found a brother down. The brighter shade of blue came to light . Brother let me tell ya something I live on freight and 9800 feet in a two story glass house cabin . I've hopped freight outta Eugene seeing tags that read. ( You can send me to hell with the rest of my friend's ) I know for sure you tagged em) because why I know you never ride that car . It was a bark hauler ) You tagged it when you were bored off or on . KEEP IT PURE BROTHER . BLACK SKANK KREW 5150
Damn. All 3 of you were convincing in the acting. Sitting here in my head yelling at Ashley "run, he's gonna croak!". Then I audibly laughed when he rolls over bloody and hands her the flower 😂. Beautiful Melody, contagious vibes. Lost Dog is back bayyyyybeeeeeeee
This guy brings me to tears
Pure poetry these two. Y’all made me feel the depth yet again.🫶
Your songs grow on me , after i hear them a thousand times like on the radio station
Yet another run of pure gold! Pup had fun making the video too!
Beautiful melody, powerful lyrics, and fantastic acting, and camerawork. Top notch work on all sides- can't wait for the new Album.
This song always makes me think of my girlfriend, the only other human I have felt unconditional love toward, and also made me realize I need to keep pushing forward for her, keep evolving, and becoming the best possible version of myself for her. She deserves me at my best, not as I was a year ago, a month ago, or even yesterday. She's filled my life with purpose and I will fight till the day I die, for her. Anything for her.
Wow!
Lot of pep in this track...and it looks good on them
This is so good I had to listen to it twice. It's sounds brand new and familiar at the same time. Exceptional songwriting as always, can't wait for the album!
The best one yet❤❤
Oh that was so good. The poetry the video the acting. And inspiration.
Great work you two. This is really impressive and well produced. Mr. Todd, your vocals on this are vastly different than a lot of your other music. The fiddle is outstanding and keeps the pace of the song going very well. Overall, there is a fullness with this song that is not present in some of your other compositions. Congratulations for creating a wonderful piece of music.👍
Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
❤
Wonderful they just keep growing wonderfully and have been a great light in my life whether bright or dim love you guys
💙💙💙
Love from the Uk ! What a song
Amazing Ben. Its always good to see you and Ashley singing together in a new tune. Much love brother, from Georgia.
Benjamin Todd is a hell of a storyteller! 🤘
OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!
I knew it. I knew one day you two would be the ones who finally make me cry to a song. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing 😭❤️
If the triggers gold the birds will fold
This was amazing guys! Well done 🤘
Damn it you made me cry.😭 Beautiful video and song.
Damn I wasn’t expecting to tear up like that 🥺
This is the only thing worth being addicted to, good damn music!
Love you Ben & Ashley. Thank you sir this song. My son n I were up n seen y'all in Lawrence KS last year. My best friend was supposed to go with. He left us forever soon after that night. May 2 2023. USMC Marv Crust. 85-23. Keep going y'all. You heal so many in dire need. ❤
🔥
Oh boy. I hit the like and then watch 😅
this will be a classic, unreal filming too!
I Love this song. I like the end of the video too. It's like a representation of what a man gos through to make sure his woman not only has what she needs. But trying to make sure she has everything she could want. Going above and beyond just to see her smile. But it also shows the strength of a woman picking us up. And putting us back together if we slip from the pressure. And showing us that we are loved, cherished, and respected. And for that I would like to think all the lovely, good heart wemon of this world.
I see lost dog, I click.
You all are wonderful, god bless.
Excited for the new album 💪🏽
Beautiful
I love the way this is going. Much love. Thank you for everything.
My god i cant wait for the new album

Usually its the lyrics hitting me in the feels, now it's the lyrics and the video. Well done. Thank you Lost Dog for making more music. Missed yall.
Love me some LDSB. This one among many others of theirs made me a bit emotional but that's what I want in my music, something that makes me feel something.
All my love forever to you both for the constant catharsis your music brings.
They just keep growing & getting better with every album. Didn't think it was possible, but right here it is
