Lyrics:
Seven times I left the world in heresy,
I would've notice, but I killed it in my sleep,
And it took you seven glances just to notice me,
I'm not quiet, I'm not broken, but it's all a mystery
Oh nobody knows, how long I've been waiting for death
Nobody knows, how long I've been waiting for death
This night ain't any different from the other ones you've seen,
A pretty girl in plastic and abandoned courtesy,
And this heart no it ain't broken, I noticed that last night,
As you walked out of the bar, with a man on your side
Oh this whiskey, every day and every night,
Oh these pills, every day and every night,
Make me feel, like I'm running out of light,
Like I'm running out of light, and state of mind
Well I packed my pipe with rum,
and I only left you some,
So we got no time to waste,
Cause' I ain't living if I ain't drunk
Oh nobody knows, how long I've been waiting for death
Nobody knows, how long I've been waiting for death
So we got some troubled times at last in Roanoke,
I spent my summers there but I'm not meant to call it home,
And for the record I was just about to run away from home,
But these jeans is gritted through, and this mind ain't meant to roam
And you said you can't believe, how I could just choose to be mean,
But you caught me in the deep, it won't last I'll be down on my knees
Oh this whiskey, every day and every night,
Oh these pills, every day and every night,
Make me feel, like I'm running out of light,
Like I'm running out of light, and state of mind
Well you said you think you're ready,
To be an actress, well I said it,
Life's just a rolling movie, and we're all waiting for the credits
Oh nobody knows, how long I've been waiting for death
Nobody knows, how long I've been waiting for death

POV: you came from Philosophy Tube
Your right!
Yup 😂
Guilty (pun intended)
Don't call me out man
Mmhm
why thank you abigail for taking us here
ayyy philosophy tube gang 😎😎
BAHAHA yup right after the stream ended
and there're already people here lol. it's like we've gathered for the after party
@@too-ticky7468 tbf the song slaps i heard it in the video was driven here by impulse lmao
Indeed. Now I want to follow this group!
Pov: youre a cop and you find 3 bodies in the wall
I understood the reference.
@@rickardkaufman3988 I also gonna do the Captain America here.
but the other guy we killed is guilty right? ...right?
@@axolotlinabucket1287They are guilty because we said so. In due time the fact people disagree with becomes the fact nobody has the thought to contest any longer.
You probably put them there?
this song fucking slaps
thanks philosophy tube, I would have never found this funtime banjo song about waiting for death otherwise
Neither would I
same
would be a sadder world if we all missed it lol
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a glibly contemplative hootenanny.
And its on the music streaming services now
"Life's just a rolling movie and we're all waiting for the credits" has to be the best nihlistic one liner I've ever heard.
It's definitely my fave line. I just love its "no free will" vibe.
Though I'm not so old and cynical (or at least not the latter) to I think most people are just sitting around waiting for the credits. Most people are watching the movie. A few know it's a movie, most don't; but we're all watching it... Not waiting for the credits, just hoping it will get better.
Though, I got to say, yesterday was a good episode; plenty of action, good food, and a bit of drinking.
Why is EVERY song in Abi's end credits always such a freaking banger?
tbh I would join the philosophy tube patreon in a heartbeat if Abi shared some of her spotify playlists on it
@@mackenziesexton6990 New patron request, methinks! Gimme that spotify tier!
Thank you all for the recent love 🙏 Song comin at ya on Spotify soon
Thanks for making this song dude!
Hey, where did y’all film this? At points I’m like, “That kinda looks like my town!” Other times, I’m like, “Nope, never mind.”
@@Ivvyfay pretty sure it's in Broadway, Nashville, in Tennessee - spotted Savannah's Candy Kitchen in a shot and figured it out from there!
@@AlishaHowOwl11 Hey, thanks!
@@Ivvyfay no problem :)
here from Philosophy Tube, this slaps
Upbeat and sinister at the same time. Yeah, this is my niche
My therapist: listening to happy, upbeat music can be a good way to improve your mood and stop intrusive thoughts.
Me: Ok.
NOOOBODY KNOWWSSSS
@@DRfronkensteen "like I'm runnin outta liiife, like I'm runnin outta liiife " 🥲🎵🪕🎼 🥲
i highly recommend will wood's "memento mori" for the same vibe
I didn't expect "modern hipster falsetto bluegrass" to be a genre of music that speaks to me on this level, but holy SHIT.
That falsetto is actually fairly traditional for high mountain bluegrass.
Ah! So TRADITIONAL modern hipster falsetto bluegrass. Awesome!
@@zacharybutler5944 If this is your jam, check out Old Crow Medicine Show. Especially their song Methamphetamine.
You gotta a lot to learn 😂
Let’s try not to drown out the original lovers here too! Tbh their opinions are probably more interesting than us who came from PT. Everyone knows where we came from, let’s talk about how jiggy this shit is
Wise words!
I cried listening to this when I heard it on Abigails video. I'm a recovering addict and the song speaking about booze and pills n waiting on death was to real for me but I love this song . Knowing that state of mind isn't forever even tho I do think of death alot! Love anyone listening to this in a bad spot n just know your so strong just by waking up n not giving up.
All the best to you, Josephine.
Congrats I hope you’re journey to recovery and health is a smooth one, and even if it isn’t, I believe you can have the strength to endure! 🧡
mighty bold of you to assume some of us have a way out.
some are just doomed to live and die in misery.
I got sober in 1987. I really love this song. Even now, all these years later, I have no desire to drink or use, but I really feel this song in here...
@@DomyTheMad420 hello lovely human. or carbon based life life form. I am proud of you - for being strong and brave with the eternal doom all around you. it has clearly threatened to usurp you of leaving and in that way your life has been under siege in this world. a sage who is called Abigail once helped me understand the importance of names. and how they can come and go in any condition. and so in that spirit, my 'misery' (in your words) feels like an 'abyss' - if i were to visualize my personal and lofty relationship with misery. when i choose stare into the abyss, i must choose to feel my misery. in the process of this - i try to remember that if one can still feel the wind on its flesh, then you can trust the world around you will change. and you can begin to feel the misery. no matter how bleak it seems with your eyes opened or closed. if you can still feel, you can assume a lot of things and more importantly you can learn how to come and go. i try to say into the abyss, that if my physical form is left unprotected too long and alone, i will begin to change too. i tell this to the abyss but really because i am afraid. i do hope you have with you in these threatening miserable times: a warm drink, a snuggly blanket, and someone you trust with your survival. and some where soft to lay your weary head while you live or while you die - because yah, what is the point in looking away? i believe everyone deserves more than what i see and what i feel. and i trust that the life that i can feel around me in any form it takes will conspire alongside all willing life forms and formless lives/ and what we do from there is where the fun begins! my point with this and im sorry if its none of my business dear stranger: what all people feel is important. whoever you are, never let anyone take that from you. i wouldn't try. and when you're ready to see or feel something else, when you can give yourself the attention it needs: so much life in this world will still be here. and will also have ceased to be. and you have been and always will be worthy of deciding to go when and where you are damn well and ready to be shown the door. you deserve to say how you leave misery. i'm sorry if it feels hopeless and overwhelming. i'll be on the American South Eastern (not my words) worlds for perhaps another 40 years if i can continue to defy expectation, play in joyful care, and learn more about barriers to all life. i don't like it here all the time, but i can feel the wind and i am reminded of my skin. we can talk whenever you like about anything at all. take good care of yourself there, dear human.
Get ready for a big uptick in views. Philosophy Tube has great taste in music.
To be honest I'd love to see her spotify playlist's.
this is about to get a lot more views
and they are well deserved!
@@KuruGDI I'm finding that Abi's taste in music is absolutely unimpeachable.
sad this isnt on spotify :(
cheers to my fellow philosophy tube homies
stay spooky
But it is on youtube, that is, it's on snaptube
They're on Bandcamp! There's some other great songs there too
@@cloud_appreciation_society Yup. Found their bandcamp first, but gladly chipped a few bucks their way for such a great song!
They are now!
@@trew3535 Woah! That definitely wasn't there a few days ago.
love this song, it's going in my 'existential crisis but make it folksy' playlist
is that the actual name because I'd love that playlist
Actually I'd love to hear that playlist, any chance I could check it out?
I wanna know what other songs are in that playlist.
Please please make this a public playlist xxx
Metaphor gets you in trouble every damn time. Don't cop to it, just make the damn list.
Played this at a family function, they looked like I was crazy. Detroit. Praise the Lord
did you sing? violin? piano? banjo? please tell me more?
Our queen has brought us here
Don’t know what it is but calling a British woman queen, boils my American blood, I’m sure it will pass
Love how people slept on this banger for almost a decade.
Another one for the Philosophy Tube music playlist!
I've found so much music thanks to her :)
Has someone actually created the playlist?
@@cloud_appreciation_society I've been watching philosophy tube for about two years now and am extremely confused. Does he identify as female? I thought he just had great costume design skills
@@spiralentree737 Abigail came out as a transgender woman in her video on Identity about a month ago. It's the second most recent video on her channel if you want more info.
@@cloud_appreciation_society currently watching it, guess i missed some videos of hers
POV you're here from Philosophy Tube after you tried to find this song on Spotify
Get out of my head lmao
I'm a deep hip hop and rap fan but this song always has me coming back for some reason this shit is dooooppppeee
Petesbygray me too
just a little reminder to you. Come hear again
i know this comment is super old but i actually also like both rap and country, but thats not weird i dont think. At thier core both are trying to get at the same thing in a different style. Theyre both just like "I'm gonna tell you how I feel and I ain't gonna bury it. Not under some funky synth, or under metaphor, or anything." Artist in both genres are just up front and personal.
@@anarchobeanism agreed!
Songs with this juxtaposition of upbeat, jaunty music and dark lyrics always get me.
Way ahead of their time - jamming socially distanced in the woods.
Thank you, Abby!
This song is just...the experience of suicidal depression, set to a sick banjo riff. I don't know what else there is to say about it. It is exactly what it set out to be.
Nice song, I'm here from Philosophy Tube.
main chord prog is A - B7 - D - Dm.
“oh this whiskey” is F#m - D - A, with a few extra repetitions of D - A at the end, then a E7 and back into the main prog
edit: forgot a #, fixed E7
Here Bc of Abigail?
THANK U!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Aye sorry to nitpick but its F#m-D-A ×3 D-A-E7 for the whiskey bridge. Dead on on the rest though
I don't usually try to figure out chord progs. Thought I'd try my hand with this one. Nice call on the E7.
i am officially BEGGING y’all to put this on spotify
When you overdose in the yee haw juice
Great to see some people exposed to some good Bluegrass due to Abigail Thorn! If you guys want to know more bands similar to this guy's, check Old Crow Medicine Show!
Thank you Abigail Thorn! You're a good gal. And I'm a good singer. So I'm learning every lyric to this song, so there.
YEE trans rights HAW. Good choice of music Ms. Thorn
Mrs? She get hitched?!
@@jadefalcon001 fixed it
My mum and I would sing this most days of the week.
Now I sing alone, waiting for her to join in again one day
10 years from now I'll come back to this song and still love it.
All you people begging for a Spotify version should go download it off their bandcamp!
Can you imagine what Luke must have been thinking when he saw that one of his song was popping off, and a bunch of people were talking about the death penalty in his comment section? I mean, he clearly has because he's added the song to spotify and pinned a comment.
From one musician to another it's nice to see a song that is 7 years old getting so much love. Gives me hope for my own music lol
God, this song reminds me of my grandpa so much. He didn’t talk much, but the words he said were always hilarious. He was so ready to die and join the love of his life in heaven, so every time he went on a rare tangent it sounded so much like this song! Miss you Grandpa
New abi video afterparty
This is me everyday!
I just loved that song and how chill and funny it is, but actually have a very dark lyrics.
I FOUND AN ORIGINAL COMMENT
This song is such a mood.
Thanks Abby
Somebody’s about to be very confused
If you guys like this, I have new songs every couple months here baby: open.spotify.com/artist/0pKtFEz6xH7d3HPZVDQsyN?si=PS4VfSnVS9uEqJKZ7YhdBw

POV: Abi pulled the execution lever after you stole a spoon
@@Sam-hi4ce but it was a nice spoon 😭
"Fight god" lol
No gods no masters!
I'm not sure where everyone here seems to have found this song from, but I came here because of my Spotify's Discover Weekly. It's a shame they don't seem to have more songs other than the EP they put out (If they do, do let me know!). I absolutely adore their songs! I wish there were more :(
Honestly, this has been in my top 3 for a few years. Everyone I show loves it. This is peak. What happened here is pure musical genius, and I thank you guys.
Philosophy tube raiddd
These guys deserve to be bluegrass legends.
Even 10 years later I still find myself coming back for this banger. Timeless.
Abi time
Love this song so much! I wish it was on Spotify!
I'd pay money for this, I bet live shows have an amazing vibe
this song goes so hard normally i dont listen to this type of music but damn its so good i cant stop listening to it
Same it's my first time to hear a banjo song and it's great
I really hope you can put this on Spotify one day!! LOVE IT.
im so glad my friend sent this to me, he always manages to find the best random songs
I know ive heard this song before the Philosophytube video but i couldnt remember the artist or song name, glad to revisit :)
This feels unironically a perfect last stand song
I miss old-school bluegrass/country like this, so I'm glad to have been led here by Abigail's vid!
Shame I can't find more of you. Really love this, and Broken Down too!
This slaps. Thanks Abi for featuring this song!
Thanks abigail for introducing me to a great song oh and for all the philosophy.
All Rise for the Doomer National Anthem.
I hope you are a part of more. I've been diving into any possible facet of your music and loved every second. This entire song is beautiful
Luke Levenson sure is quite talented
good music taste, hope you're doing well 10 years later
Awesome Luke ! You'll have to bring the whole group on air
I really love this song, seems like this band split up though, anybody have artist suggestions that sound like this?
Reminds me of Cavetown.
@@josephbales7021 Thank you so much for the suggestion, been waiting a long time for an answer! I'll check it out!
Ooh! Check out Mount Moon too!
Earl Scruggs is a good bluegrass starting point if you want more from the genre =)
@@josephbales7021 definitely will! Thanks!
9gag approves
It does
Yeah
Coming from 9gag.😂
@@aritraroychaudhury1772 youre going to hell for cancer
@@edgarnoel6819 eh why so serious bro?
Glad to see I wasn’t alone in scurrying over here like a rat after watching philosophy tube.
Thanks Abigail/PT for sending me here
Luke Levenson sure is quite dapper
And the new discoveries just keep comin'. Love this tune on every level. I'm lookin' around for more.
this is exactly the kind of thing that reminds me how much i love this country.
Here from Abby's new video! Great song
I can't get this song out of my head! Thanks, Candle Kind for the awesome track, and Philosophy Tube for the introduction.
i love the girl that took this photo
I absolutely love music like this and make somewhat similar sounding music, but I still probably wouldn't have found this without philosophy tube 🖤
everyone should go check out what they got on bandcamp by the way it's free/pay what you want!
Keep making music, your ensemble is tight!
Your song came up for me in my Weekly Spotify Recommended.
Born and raised in Texas so naturally I loved your song. I even love belting out at the "Nobody knows, how long ive been waiting for death"
Been going through a pretty low point in my life, and pushing 30 this year so this song really speaks to me.
This song is therapeutic
Abi sent me. As always she's got excellent taste. Fantastic tune and performance!
This is breathtaking
Found this absolute bop in philosophy tube ✨
Well just found my new favorite new song ever.
This is perfect end credit music
I have never heard anything like this is my life. It is so powerful and true. I am floored. Truly so honest and authentic and just.... I am speechless. I feel seen. The tone might not match for some people but I think it's absolutely perfect. Wow. Thank you for making this song. It is needed.
tried to look this song up and it offered me mental health resources lol
Nice song for Times
Such a lovely song, which just got recommended on 3/8/2021
you right, solid song. great suggestion!
@@Arthur__Dent Thank goodness, finally some one else likes bluegrass.
@@contrafax I mean Oh Brother, Where Art Thou is one of the best soundtracks of all time. Name one song that would be worse off if you added a banjo.
Heres a couple you might have already heard.
Mary Gauthier - Wheel Inside The Wheel
Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel
@@Arthur__Dent oh, check out Stev'en Seagull. A blue grass cover band. The do an amazing cover of AC/DC's "Thunderstruck"
@@Arthur__Dent Hey, are you alright? Have not seen you inforever.
God this song slaps, and i need it on the Fallout 76 playlist.
This song is so good!!!! It might be late but I am glad your music is receiving appreciation now!
Coming from philosophytube, I LOVE this!! Very folk punk
Banjo player has a Gold Tone EBM-5 to everyone else who desperately needs one
This is great! Just found you guys, hope an album is on the way.
I guess that didn't happen..
How u doing luke?
@@SoVidushi they did make an album, it slapped
Honestly feel lucky to have found you... can't wait for you to blow up and me claiming to have known you since you first put your ep on spotify... sell your souls to hollywood already!!!!!!!!
I came from Spotify Discover, and.. this song is a treasure.
Im waiting deth🥰🥰
I wish i could find you on spotify i wanna listen on repeat
