Filmed on a Canon 60D, graded in Final Cut Pro, on location in a storm ditch on the east side of Austin Texas.
I love how with Shakey Graves you don’t just have favorite songs, you have favorite versions of songs.
And this is definitely my favourite version of this song. It's so beautiful.
Audio tree live but I love this version more but if im showing a friend or something I play audio tree but this one is my favorite
Yep. Been coming back for many years. Love you shakey
So true
I want to hit like 10 likes with you LOL you're spot-on buddy
Imagine hearing this coming out of a storm drain.
I once had one MOOOOOO at me in Denver.
Who needs a psycho clown when you got shakey!
@@jkernow3165 lol you beat me to it. When I read the storm drain comment first thing that popped into my head was Pennywise making this music to lure children in.
Almost died laughing
Im at a point in my life where this has changed everything. I just got out of a bad engagement, im broke, i have very few friends. But i have one best friend. That's all i need, and i need to trust my creativity to take me where i need to go. I had heard this before, a few yesrs ago, but i hadn't experienced enough life to fully appreciate it. Thanks, Shakey.
Wow. That's just a very good thing to hear, period.
Good music can do great things, so never doubt.
I'm in a very similar period in my life experiencing the same things and worse. This sort of music really brings it all together for me. When I was in that relationship the vibe was "folk punk" 😂 I'm growing.
I was in the same spot nearly a decade ago...ride on brother....keep on moving forward
beautifully written, hope your still being creative my friend (:
When I first started listening to Shakey Graves my go-to were the audiotree sessions, but it's so nice to find that every time he records it live, it sounds entirely different. I have not heard two recordings that are alike.
This is exactly what I've found. I just stumbled across him and that's it, I'm hooked
Madison Olinger yeah that's a thing this is my favorite recording of this song bar none the drain pipe makes it for me
Chet faker
Madison! My first time listening to good ol Shakey was listening to the Late July video here on this same channel.. I have listened tp Late July countless times. I am dying to see him live.. just like Mike Hartwick I stumbled across shakey carelessly... It is one of the best musical experiences ever when you stumble across something so great.
@@JACS1N1ST3R me too. My Mom showed me him.
I would love to crack a beer or two an just sit and talk to him, shakey makes music for the soul who agrees.
love how his car's speedometer is broken.
Daniel Banks love how somebody else noticed that! Lmao
Same ^^
Yes! nothing like driving and being a danger to other people on the road.. BUT IT'S SO HIP!!!
Daniel Banks simple fix: usually a cable ...right
@@georgegetson7393 I mean how much of a danger do you really think that is? As far as problens your car could have go if you're at all a good driver you should be able to drive while barely if ever looking at the speedo and still maintain a safe speed. Plus did anyone say it was "so hip?" or did you just project that?
Edit: guessing you thought the word "love" in OP meant that he thought the speedo being broken was "cool". In case you aren't too in touch with the younger generation (lol), they (we?) tend to use the word "love" sarcastically a lot in that kind of sentence structure. e.g. "love how you just made a really offensive comment and then moved on like it was nothing" - used that as an example because us younger folk are usually offended by something
My favorite version of this song. I wish artists recorded like this more. Sounds so much more authentic.
how he explained perfectly what I look for in music
Man he did such a great job with the lyrics. The song and video is fire...I've spent years listening to this on repeat
I'd love to see him come back to play and record in this storm drain. Lots changed since then.
This needs more likes
I can't believe how amazing and perfect his music is
still one of my favorite videos of all time. thank you for your storytelling through speech and song.
The last conversation I had with my father before he passed was how he need to listen to Shakey Graves and at the funeral my stepmother was consistently playing native ritual flute music and I took over and played shaky and we all felt the energy shift because we all knew how my father wanted to be remembered
Thankyou shakey
Still waiting for the droopy wieners reunion tour.
this song is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............love ittttttttt
I just happened across this artist now I can't stop listening to his music way better than that mainstream junk
Sweet tunnel acoustics.
that's it. im learning to play guitar so I can chill and sing this tune.
so.
damn.
good.
You ain't alone!
I've been staring at my guitar for that last couple weeks because of Shakey. It's incredibly daunting, starting out, but I NEED to be able to play like he does.
Jeff and the Quest I feel the same way with the banjo.
Anybody have a good tutorial on this yet?
@@johnmoshier3497 Chords are easy enough, just google them. As for picking, just listen to his tempo. He plucks the lead notes of the chord, E and A usually, and strums twice for the most part I think.
Patrick Warn yep hits that root note in the bass and then strums the rest of the chord
My 57 year old dad turned me on to shakey and i surprised how much i dig this guys style
The stuff he records outside of a studio is my favorite stuff.
Jhonny Cash was the first thing that came to mind !
Beautiful ! Really digging Shakey... been listening to his stuff for 3 days straight !
LOVE the Audiotree sessions ❤❤
Colter wall has more Cash vibes he's like a mix between Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt
Love the way the speedometer is fucking up in the first shot.
the forever struggle
life's only objective
This was pure shakey not sure what happened but just not the same as this today. Come back to us!! Missing you Shakey Graves the original soul felt musician you were.
I love you all that stood behind Shankey Graves. You kept me connected with my grandpa in a good way. He shared his tasted of grass and I showed him my new tasted of grass... and he loved it before he passed. I'm sad he couldn't hear you before he passed away. I woulda loved that time with my grandpa
Lyrics🎶
I see a girl that’s blue like the sea
When I go to sleep you know that she see me too
Standing around like the popular kids
I see a girl that's blue like the sea
When I go to sleep you know that she sees me too
Standing around like the popular kids
Hoping Saint Peter will let us in too
He says if you value your life stay off the drugs
If you value the drugs stay off the map
If you value maps you better travel son
If you don't want to travel than you better run
I knew a king in his purple throne
He had some trouble so he's all alone now
Oh I used to bring him little presents from time to time
He'd sit me in his castle and he'd pick my mind
He said if you value your heart stay on the road
If you value the road stay on the top
If you value the top you're gonna suffer son
If you don't want to suffer then you better run
Well I see my boss in his practical suit
I'll toss him in the cellar won't give him no food
When anybody tries to tell him what to
Do he holds his breath until he turns blue
He says if you value your job stay out of crime
If you value the crime stay out of doors
If you value them doors you better lock em son
If you dont want to lock em you better buy a gun
So finally I saw a snake in an apple tree
You know I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me
He said it must be gettin awful lonely tryin' to save the world
Just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls
He says if you value your limbs stay in the game
If you value the game stay in the style
If you value that style you're a sinkin sun
If you don't want to sink then you better run
Beautiful huh? Thanks for taking the time.
I love the busted speedo in the beginning with the car haha!
glad i wasnt the first to notice haha
I’m glad that he has continued to write about more than himself in his songs. To take what he sees in the whole world and put it to melody is amazing.
if value your heart stay on the road. if you value the road stay on the top. if you value the top your gonna suffer some. if you dont want to suffer than you run
"If you value them doors, you better block em son" What a f****n beautiful tune my man. Big ups from Dublin❤
I thought it was “lock em”?
This guy! Finally, someone that can write a deep meaningfull lyrics with a snappy groove.
Been watching this exact video on/off for like, a decade now. That first minute expository on somgwriting seems to hit me exactly where i love music as a whole. Every artist that has truly spoke to me does exactly what he said. What a phenomenal songwriter, man of words, and instill cant play that damn guitar riff the way id like to. Like someone else here said, its crazy when you have a favorite version of someone's song, and this is my favorite version of one of my all time favorite songs.
The only man able to wear a fedora and be socially acceptable
🚬 Facts check out.
Trilbys are where its at. thats a trilby..
@@mikburton5028 what's the difference I have two hats from my great grandfather and idk what it is
Just the brim and most trilbys arent quite as stiff.
Ah well idk what they are but I rock them 🤣
Some of the strangest places lend amazing acoustics to talented musicians.
He's so likable :)
ahhh this song completes my soul
Seeing him like this reminds me of The Once-ler, this is honestly the best sound I can imagine ever hearing! Totally brilliant!
Shakey is one of the most musical guys I have ever heard. And I've heard lots.
The rhythm's and the melodies blow me away.
🆗😎🆒🎸🎼🔊☠️
still one of my favorites
Best new artist EVER!
Keep keepin ON.
I love this man! Such a beautiful soul!
Shakey Graves I enjoy your music very much,thank you from outback Australia N.T
Artists like Shakey Graves convince me we don't live in a simulation reality. Can't simulate that kind of emotion!!!!
by far my favorite shakey graves song,,,,,,,,thank you
once you get hooked on Shakey there's no quittin til' you hit the grave.... pun intended.
Love how you describe music and how people make it. ❤
I think its relavent to everyone life. Its just a really great song with truly amazing lyrics! Thankyou for it Shakey!!!
He should become huge! He's so good!
1:09 for those regular visitors.
I cannot wait for stubbs bbq on 4/9/16. I am a 49 year old heterosexual male who has a huge mancrush on this dude. What a talent and an inspiration for all budding musicians. I learned I was Hardwired and didnt even know it.
Anthony Arnold, ha gayyy
Anthony Arnold props to you for coming out and saying that
Dylan G oh, like you don't have a man-crush too
Brandon MacDonald As a bisexual male I personally say shaky is sexy
Man he said a mouth full..... I've been listening to you for over five years now.
My fucking man
Never fails to bring me to tears.
Just amazing, Go in like this Shakey!!!
one of my new favorites.
Shakey just gave me the perfect title for my new video: "The Forever Struggle"- it was the perfect little term to define how we all feel when we are always 'upset' no matter where we are or what we are doing, once some time passes.
So goes life....
Edit the Sad Parts
His speedometer is shakey...
Perfect!
This song fkin rules
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!
Newport Folk Festival!!! One of Best performances
Love his reverb unit.
I used to watch this and think how he feels now, looking back at saying this was his greatest song. I wondered if he still thinks that. I hope he does.
"baby dog strangled"....hahaha! Thank you for the recommendation. Made my day.
this one is my favorite version
Number one thing the best best best on this is him having a cigarette in the top of the guitar bahaha this is my kind of fellow all day long
Well I see a girl, that's blue like the sea;
When I go to sleep, you know that she sees me too.
Yeah just standin' around like the popular kids,
Hopin' Saint Peter will let us in too.
Well 'e says if you value your life, stay off the drugs.
If you value the drugs, stay off the map.
If you value them maps, you better travel some,
And if you don't wanna travel, then you better run yeah.
Yeah well I knew a king, in his purple throne,
Though he had some trouble, so he's all alone now.
Well I used to bring him little presents oh from time to time
He'd sit me in his castle, and he'd pick my mind
He said if you value your heart, well stay on the road.
If you value the road, oh stay on the top.
If you value the top, oh you're gonna suffer son,
And if you don't wanna suffer, then you better run, oh
Yeah well I seen my boos in his practical suit,
Gonna toss him in the cellar; won't-a give him no food.
Yeah you know and anybody tries oh to tell him what to do,
He holds his breath until he turns blue.
Yeah he says if you value your job, stay outta crime.
If you value the crime, stay outta doors.
If you value them doors, then you better lock 'em son,
And if you don't wanna lock 'em, oh you better buy a gun, yeah
Yeah well I saw a snake in an apple tree,
And no I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me, NO
Yeah he said it must be gettin' awful lonely tryin' to save the world,
Just buy a collared shirt, and try to fuck some girls.
Oh he said if you value your limbs, stay in the game.
If you value the game, stay in that style.
If you value that style, you're sinkin' son,
And if you don't wanna sink, then you better run,
Yeah you better run, yeah
Yeah oh you better run
Yeah mmmm
ok
I wanna play music with this guy
Forever the best version of this song
SOLID AS A ROCK! LOVE!!!
He's so cute and that voice.
he is everything
Hell ya man good songs!!!! Keep it coming #shakeygraves
That was fantastic!
anybody here remember the video of Shakey Graves singing in a parking garage and being interviewed by a female reporter? can't find it-bully's lament maybe?
PHENOMENAL... just WOW!!!
If you value the top, you're gonna suffer, son.
That line. What are you willing to give up for it?
This makes me happy.
one of my favorite artworks
Damn I miss this Shakey.
Next drought me and my git fiddle are hitting tha nearest tunnel!
Jacob Beasley I thought I was the only one who referred to the guitar as a git fiddle. Haha. Awesome man!
Jacob Beasley.....that git giddle must be a southern reference. Been calling it that for 30 yrs as well!
Nice music to rise my bike home on
Anyone else hear the John Fahey influence in Shakey's guitar playing? Listen to "Beverly/Indian Pacific RR Blues" - there's a distinct similarity to when Shakey goes up-tempo in this song. I can also hear Fahey's influence in Late July. I'd be surprised if Mr. Graves wasn't a big fan of the guitar legend!
I also don't have a speedometer~! Lmao, I love this guy so much.
December 21, 2012, Shakey Graves gets a viral hit, reaching millions and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity united behind his greatness.
A decade went by and he sold his soul.
@@eddiemartinez6027 yep
I hear some Townes here. Love this guy.
+Amber Stafford I hear Blaze Foley, but it's in the same direction :)
He once said his finger picking is inspired by Townes
I thought so too
This is way more chill compared to the Audiotree version
1:09 srry have listened to him already hes a interesting guy
My favorite song :)
great stuff..and good sound in that pipe
#speakstomysoul
Listen carefully to the king and the homeless man ...there is much to be learned.
I never saw this, thanks for posting
Is this your favorite song of him?
Both versions, boss level. We have all been a Runner.
the vibes
Poetic mastermind. Wow.
Ya I think I'm running, fuck staying in style
Trying to get this guy to old quarter acoustic in Galveston. Owned by by Rex Bell of Townes Vans Zandt fame..Come on down man!!! Would love you man!
Forever
I want to play this song to my in-laws.
Blow it all seeing Eugene.
LOVE HIM
