When I first heard this song I just started dating this girl so I related to the toxic love that it was but after we broke up I turned to addiction and I had alot of iv user friends and saw were they went and now I think its about addiction...this man's music can hit on so many different levels
I feel love can be an addiction also. Its a sad reminder to me of a family that I could have had and still willing to do anything for it. Dont get me wrong great co parents her and i are but i still miss the relationship and this song is how i feel about it
idea for an alternative Southern music festival: Amigo the Devil, Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, The Dead South, Shaky Graves, Uncle Lucious, Larkin Poe, Benjamin Todd, Bridge City Sinners, Gangstagrass, Devil Makes Three, Trampled by Turtles, Sierra Ferrell, Molly Tuttle, Alison Krauss, Tim Eriksen, Arlo McKinley, and Abby the Spoon Lady!
I fucking LOVE the mania and disassociation in his eyes during this performance. Been there...hard. So often. No song hits that desperate last thread of sanity quite this good.
You are a voice of a subconscious self hating yet mischievous alcoholic demon who got out of jail like two years ago who just got out of a semi bad relationship. I’ll always be a fan
He was an opening act for Clutch in detroit last year, Almost skipped his opening act, but I was extermely happy I did not. He won me as a fan that day. He look crazy as hell when he sings, but his music is beautifully haunting.
Keith Lubeck I think that’s what makes it even better, how he seems so creepily synch and part of his music, like he himself transforms into what we hear
[Verse 1] Went to the bar To get a little closer to myself and learn Things I never really wanted to know The walk got a little far So I got into a cab that smelled like vinegar Stains that showed what's in the girl before [Bridge 1] But I want to be Where all the stupid things I say Sounds so romantic and true [Chorus] Cause I'd rot in hell with you If you'd just ask me to I love the shitty things we do together Live with me in this sin forever Hell, and you - I know you want it too I say, take the shot, see this chance Feel the fire and let me have this Dance with you [Verse 2] We take things a little far But you couldn't name a place I wouldn't go with you A plane, a train, a car, I'd run If I was dead I'd float I'd crawl in bed with you Even on someone else's blood On top of someone else's love In the worst motel we find [Bridge 2] Cause home is the last place That I'd stand to be with anyone but you [Chorus] Cause I'd rot in hell with you If you'd just ask me to I love the shitty things we do together Live with me in this sin forever Hell, and you - I know you want it too I say, take the shot, see this chance Feel the fire and let me have this Dance with you
What amazing talent. Raw, deep, honest, a bit dark, yeah, but we all have that… turning it into this… a haunted echo in the grotto. I love artists. Chef’s kiss.
Some of his expressions in this video perfectly show how he is a little messed up in the head but mostly normal on the outside. He feels a little distant and like he could snap at anytime but probably won't. Great job with this!
@@mattwright8631 Cocaine is a white powedry (sometimes rocky) substance, yah goof, not a guy singing in a grotto. You've been getting ripped off by your coke guy, my guy.
Oh this is the superior version. The song is unhinged already and the multiple different ranges he switches between while singing only add to it in the best way.
Don't think you'll ever read this, but you kinda saved my life with your songs. Your texts resonate with my life and myself almost too much. Much respect and love from sweden, my crazy brother from another mother!
Dude, your picture looks like a maniac, but I bet you are a good man trying his hardest in the far north. Enjoy life while it lasts. Much respect and love from the Brazilian jungles, my crazy brother from another mom. Good luck and godspeed.
To the woman who showed me this song- our time was short and it ended hard, but our little moment we spent together taught me so much and despite how it ended I’ll never regret it. Thank you for all the music you showed me, thank you for being my friend.
You're an absolute gem of a song writer. Please don't stop. I imagine it is difficult; but, please, know that there are people absolutely moved by what you do. "I'd cry a hundred times for you, no matter what you'd do."
I agree with this statement 100% but, I also think it is an undersell of his vulnerable songwriting that we don’t get to see very much. So yes, protect this person and allow them to continue to express for us that can’t do the same with such passion. ❤
agreed. and fucking impressive on your end too. i see so many people on here says that this man is a lunatic because of his facial expressions etc. real music evocates emotions and conjures specific energies that an artist is trying to convey. he is simply overwhelmed with emotion. honestly i love this dude. and watching your vids makes me want to do something decadent or nefarious, definately carnal! thanks B S Sinners for many good night of tunes that conjure energies as well.
Those pitch and tone changes are by far my favorite part of this song. That grawl with "id rot in hell with you"... Love this song, a mechanic was listening to this. Had to walk in the shop just to ask who was playing. Ill never forget your name Amigo.
I first read your comment and thought "no, way. Its a dark romantic song." And now every time I listen to it, I picture him holding a bottle of liquor, and it makes complete sense. Having family members who suffer from it, 100%. Congrats to you on overcoming it!
I was thinking about dope "id crawl in bed with you, even on someone else's blood" or even "I say you take the shot see this chance feel the fire and let me have this dance with you
@@RussellHeck-s9s I think as he opens with "went to the bar to get a littler closer to myself" means this is his personal journey with alcohol, however it could be more widely perceived as any drug addiction
Lol were all right the beautiful thing about ATD is not only the imagery he gives in his lyrics but alot of it can interpreted many different ways which reaches the ears and souls of just that many more people
I absolutely love the way you wrote this. I lost my beloved one after many years of addiction, and I did go through hell with him, the question of doing so had never needed be imposed. Unfortunately, I did have to step back and let go. One can only walk through such a purgatory for so long with the one they love and adore before they too lose their faith and their way. Again, beautifully written, as is the dreamer song. All of them really. One of my favorite singers. Blessed be.
We were tidying our house and an ad rolled around with your song. My husband and I both loved it, but when he went to see who the artist was, it was too late. I made him look for you like a demented person. And now that we´ve found you I can be finally at peace.
This version is SO much better than the original cut. So much more emotion and the vocals just SOUND better like he's in a different register or something. Brilliant!
First song I’ve ever heard from you. My friend directed me towards you. My intuition told me this one. My whole body is shaking. So heavy. Every emotion I had to my ex. I gave my life to him. He sat and watched as I was bleeding out onto the brand new blue and grey retro area rug he just got for our anniversary. Blood sprayed everywhere from hitting my main artery in my right wrist and cutting through the nerve canals. He was sexually, verbally, mentally and physically abusive. Yet I loved him unconditionally. I stayed high on any form of substance to hide away from his torture till the last 9 months I was in a state of psychosis. My life was spared that night. I reached transcendent enlightenment. I have never felt so much peace yet never could imagine how much pain is in this world. Thank you for this powerful, beautiful yet traumatic song.
You can just tell by a person's words, eyes and voice when that person has went through hell, especially with heartbreak or longing. A song writer that can bring out emotion in the listener is a damn good one. Bravo, Amigo.
Been a while since I saw you last. Thought I'd stop by and say how time flew fast. How things have changed over time. How I've lost my mind. But don't worry, I found it tucked away. Well my time comes once more, I will see you another day.
I couldn't love this harder. My ex of 12 years died of an OD. Devastated me. I wanted to die with him, instead, I got clean. It's been 3 years, and I know I made the right decision lol, but some days... I feel like this.
One of my buddies told me about him growing up at 14 crawling thru his hall way in apartments army crawling because of his addiction. At his 21st bday woke up to his girl overdosed next to him, she didn't make it back. His dad a sheriff, him known as the black sheep of the family. Get thru it and keep going. As he did, respect to those who are trying to find another day to live making it day by day. 🙏
I understand this passion all too well. Knowing that someone could be poison but happily running into their arms because they are your soulmate. Even if it means living in sin.
This song came up on my suggested videos a couple days ago and now I have listened to everything Amigo The Devil non-stop! Very talented songwriter and artist! Awesome!
I don’t suppose anyone has tabs for this? Amigo, you have a beautiful soul, and your work will continue to inspire for years to come. Keep doing your thing man
The intro and first verse are Am/F/Dm/Am/Am/F/Dm/E7, the rest is just Am/F/Dm/E7 on repeat with a pre-chrous that is Dm/F/Am. If you're on banjo leave the D-string open in Dm
Yeah, I don't see a lot of people mentioning it in the comments but that little blink he does at the end says it all - when he performs he seems to be possesed, totally indulged with the sound and lyrics and when he's done he looks like he needs a second to take in his surrondings and come off the high that is for him performing.
This weekend while he played this song at Muddy Roots Fest someone proposed in the crowd and she said yes. He stopped the set when he realized what was happening and saw everyone cheering for them and said “we’re singing this song for YOU now !!” We formed a little circle around them while they had their first dance as an engaged couple. Everyone belted it as loud as they could after that for them two lil lovebugs I’m not crying… you’re crying ! ❤
This is by far one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard Last night my husband and I were singing this all night. Gonna check more of thos cat out. Fantastic voice and sound
Thank you for all the wonderful music you've gifted into my life. When i first found your music I was in a really bad place mentaly and hearing your music has helped me remmber that not everything's shitty in life and this video made me cry thank you for being all of our amigos.
Bravo' You described 20 years of my life emotionally, so eloquently the first time I hear this I broke down in tears. Being a tough ranch girl that never happens, bravo'
Almost every line in this song is gold. "Home is the last place I'd stand to be with anyone but you." "I got into a cab that smells like vinegar, with stains that show what's in the girl before." "I want to be where all the stupid things I say sound so romantic and true."
"Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl." -James Crumely
I dont drink anymore but dont mind a beer with a meal had a steak dinner two beers a little after my divorce went to see my two girls and on way home had food was a bit tipsy and sad after leaving my my kids so my eyes started leaking lol
Can confirm, will never get drunk because I am deathly afraid of the dark shit I'll blurt out when I get drunk. I don't know who I am when I take the heavy reigns off and I never wanna know.
This is so raw for me because I feel that I look the exact same when I play music.. no discernable eye contact because I'm playing back into my own head.. And the romantization of a bender with your beloved despite knowing how wrong it is but how close it brings you two together in that moment...
As soon as I saw who it was pop up with the banjo and seeing the picture where he was ooh I knew it was going to be good... I f****** love/hate you for making me think about her. Another night alone of my own doing. Uh, how I cherish this pain. Thank you for enhancing the intensity of this deep emptiness and longing for her, the pleasure of this sad experience is beyond words. 🙏❤️
@@marvinthemaniac7698 no before that,, I'm not the best with time so it was probably like a yearish ago and my brain made me think it was closer than it actually was
I thought this dude looked crazy as hell when I watched it the first time.. but I downloaded it and I still come back and watch and listen cuz it's actually kinda beautifully crazy.
Singing along to this live back in October was such a great experience. One of my favorite songs ever, such a cool location too :) Your music has been helping me through some real shit recently man, thank you
My hubby Stone introduced me to your tunes and must say you are extremely talented, gifted and blessed. TY for the messages as they are not only deep but very real (i personally can relate). Wish you, your wife as well as your loved ones much blessings, safety and health always. Namaste 🙏
Who could possibly give this a thumbs down?! This song is my new addiction. Out of the 1M+ views, you can guarantee 900k are me, alone. “I wanna be where all the stupid shit I say sounds so romantic and true”. He’s speaking my love language. Love you, Amigo!
1.6 million i didnt even realize my nigga blew up. With Days N daze having a charting album is this the start of a folk punk revolution? Nah but maybe like it becoming more mainstream in the alt stream lol
Just saw you live in Spokane back in January; the first time I ever hung out with my girlfriend, I showed her "Perfect Wife" and a second fan was born. We listen to your music all the time, and we're getting close to our first anniversary. So it was pretty awesome our first concert together was seeing you. Keep up the great music and hope to see you out this way again soon!
My ex split 9 months ago. Was with her for 4 years and she ghosted me a month into a job i got to start supporting us and get us off our feet. I havent been able to play my guitar since so when i do play i feel like im gonna look just as frantic and crazy as this guy when i get hit with the random mood swings. Not to knock the look you make when you play, i think its totally awesome and makes it interesting to watch especially when you throw in those deep voiced lines like "IF I WAS DEAD I'D- float" Edit: 3 years later and i can tell you his personality doesnt just split when the voice goes deep. It splits in moments where he says "i want to be, where all the stupid shit i say..." where as the studio recording says "alll the stupid things i say..."
Sweet. Fucking. Christ. This is incredible. Such heart-wrenching agony and ecstacy in his voice when the chorus hits. Absolutely beautiful. This is a man that knows pain.
This passed by in my spotify Discover Weekly... Immediately grabbed my attention. This is amazing. Apparently it's over 4 years old but it's entirely new to me :)
A single man with a banjo and the silence of a forest. This speaks louder than most musicians.
I'm glad this song still finds people.
@@odd3l5 I found it the other week!
I live in Colorado and this summer I plan to take my dad's 12 string guitar I inherited from him up into the mountains and make some videos...
Hes close to cash. Cash can't be replaced. But amigo is close.
Makes me ache .i like voice and the loneliness begfs me to fix it
Some people hear a romantic song. I hear a reminder of how much an addict can put their substance above everything else. Hauntingly beautiful song.
Sadly, romantic love can be addicting and spiral lives out of control. It doesn’t happen to most, but it does happen.
Same thing. Addiction is similar to a distorted love for an abuser
When I first heard this song I just started dating this girl so I related to the toxic love that it was but after we broke up I turned to addiction and I had alot of iv user friends and saw were they went and now I think its about addiction...this man's music can hit on so many different levels
I feel love can be an addiction also. Its a sad reminder to me of a family that I could have had and still willing to do anything for it. Dont get me wrong great co parents her and i are but i still miss the relationship and this song is how i feel about it
I hear both at the same time
Man. The pain of being this mad of love is just unbelievable, yet somehow you miss it when its gone.
That kind of love has it’s own wild beauty.
This song isn't about love, it's about alcoholism
The "you" in this song is booze
Throw any substance in there but its most definitely not about a girl.
I dont need anyone pissin on my leg. 5 years goin strong.
idea for an alternative Southern music festival: Amigo the Devil, Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, The Dead South, Shaky Graves, Uncle Lucious, Larkin Poe, Benjamin Todd, Bridge City Sinners, Gangstagrass, Devil Makes Three, Trampled by Turtles, Sierra Ferrell, Molly Tuttle, Alison Krauss, Tim Eriksen, Arlo McKinley, and Abby the Spoon Lady!
Damn dude. Solid. Dont forget Sierra Ferrell.
Solid af how can this get started
@@abrahamloveylopez1852 oh and Arlo Mckinley, cant forget him.
I dont know how we do this, but im down.
Gotta throw in the bridge city sinners and the devil makes three too.
@@efree19 Nice! Throw in Hill County Devil. That should be good to go!
Easily the most romantic song ever written.
Alcohol and I have had a hell of a romance for years
INDEED
Amen to that . It will be MY wedding song
Im glad someone said it
SAYIN'
I fucking LOVE the mania and disassociation in his eyes during this performance. Been there...hard. So often. No song hits that desperate last thread of sanity quite this good.
You are a voice of a subconscious self hating yet mischievous alcoholic demon who got out of jail like two years ago who just got out of a semi bad relationship. I’ll always be a fan
That's pretty deep im going through the same as i type
I felt that yo
Yea, same.
Agreed
Hell ya man.. very well put!!!
He was an opening act for Clutch in detroit last year, Almost skipped his opening act, but I was extermely happy I did not. He won me as a fan that day. He look crazy as hell when he sings, but his music is beautifully haunting.
Keith Lubeck I think that’s what makes it even better, how he seems so creepily synch and part of his music, like he himself transforms into what we hear
Holy shit I would die to see that lineup myself! Amigo and Clutch are two of my all time fav artists!
came back looking for this comment. its always the first thing i think of when i hear this song
Shit, clutch is a band I had forgotten existed. Thank you for reminding me
Who the fuck is clutch
[Verse 1]
Went to the bar
To get a little closer to myself and learn
Things I never really wanted to know
The walk got a little far
So I got into a cab that smelled like vinegar
Stains that showed what's in the girl before
[Bridge 1]
But I want to be
Where all the stupid things I say
Sounds so romantic and true
[Chorus]
Cause I'd rot in hell with you
If you'd just ask me to
I love the shitty things we do together
Live with me in this sin forever
Hell, and you -
I know you want it too
I say, take the shot, see this chance
Feel the fire and let me have this
Dance with you
[Verse 2]
We take things a little far
But you couldn't name a place I wouldn't go with you
A plane, a train, a car, I'd run
If I was dead I'd float
I'd crawl in bed with you
Even on someone else's blood
On top of someone else's love
In the worst motel we find
[Bridge 2]
Cause home is the last place
That I'd stand to be with anyone but you
[Chorus]
Cause I'd rot in hell with you
If you'd just ask me to
I love the shitty things we do together
Live with me in this sin forever
Hell, and you -
I know you want it too
I say, take the shot, see this chance
Feel the fire and let me have this
Dance with you
Nice
Brilliant.
Thank you!
Wow, you know how to copy and paste text.

What amazing talent. Raw, deep, honest, a bit dark, yeah, but we all have that… turning it into this… a haunted echo in the grotto. I love artists. Chef’s kiss.
The fact that he can mug those expressions while hitting those soulful notes is the mark of a true preformer!
He has those looks because I'm pretty sure he has synesthia.. he sees colors and shapes when he hears music and sounds.
Some of his expressions in this video perfectly show how he is a little messed up in the head but mostly normal on the outside. He feels a little distant and like he could snap at anytime but probably won't. Great job with this!
He's a funny guy. Last time we saw him live he came out to the Jurassic Park theme and started playing All-Star by Smash Mouth as a prank.
Kinda looks like cocaine to me lol
The pain thats what make music

I don't if he'll ever read what you said, but I did. And I'm glad you're still here with us, my friend. Stay alive and be well
I feel like, with the look in his eyes he's reliving a past experience.

I agree with this statement 100% but, I also think it is an undersell of his vulnerable songwriting that we don’t get to see very much. So yes, protect this person and allow them to continue to express for us that can’t do the same with such passion. ❤
The music itself is more disturbing than anything I've ever heard. Truly eerie and I listen to the heaviest of death metal.
Been a favorite song for a long time now. Love you Amigo ❤
Love you guys and Amigo! A collab between you guys would be fucking sweet!
Found the Sinners first, then this song showed up in my recommendations!

Bridge City Sinners are awesome too! 😻
I love you both as well.🖤🖤🖤🖤
FuknA!!!! That was bad ass. What a voice. Don't see too many people poor their soul out like that too often. He had someone in mind specifically.
Amigo doesn't seem to smile too much when he's singing but I really love when he does.
Those pitch and tone changes are by far my favorite part of this song. That grawl with "id rot in hell with you"...

First song I’ve ever heard from you. My friend directed me towards you. My intuition told me this one.
My whole body is shaking. So heavy. Every emotion I had to my ex. I gave my life to him.

Wow! His eyes really speak a thousand words.. that was absolutely beautiful.. I love you, Amigo my devil..
This song is so awesome. A kind of addiction, that makes me wanna listen to it again and again. The best love song i've listened in months
I'm really thinking about walking down the isle to this song at my wedding. It makes my heart just melt. It's absolutely beautiful.
Been a while since I saw you last. Thought I'd stop by and say how time flew fast.
How things have changed over time. How I've lost my mind.
But don't worry, I found it tucked away.
Well my time comes once more, I will see you another day.
This song is the greatest song ever written, hands down, the soul put into this is baffling.
Those acoustics are incredible. Still reeling from how good the November show in Philly was.
I couldn't love this harder.
My ex of 12 years died of an OD. Devastated me. I wanted to die with him, instead, I got clean. It's been 3 years, and I know I made the right decision lol, but some days... I feel like this.

This has to be one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard. So passionate and just the perfect amount of Aphrodite's touch, the madness of love
I understand this passion all too well. Knowing that someone could be poison but happily running into their arms because they are your soulmate. Even if it means living in sin.
Forgot about this legendary piece of music for a few years. Glad im back.
This is my favorite version of this song he does by far. its just so raw, just him and his banjo and so emotional

This song, this performance, is magical in a way that is akin to "you had to be there".
The eyes say it all... spectacular!
Yeah, I don't see a lot of people mentioning it in the comments but that little blink he does at the end says it all - when he performs he seems to be possesed, totally indulged with the sound and lyrics and when he's done he looks like he needs a second to take in his surrondings and come off the high that is for him performing.
This song hits different when you have loved an addict, or had been one.
Recovery is possible. Dont give up.
Absolutely incredible voice and lyerics! I am in love!! Been listening to this song on repeat for 3 days!!
Wow!! I'm seriously blown away by this, his voice, his words, his look in his eyes, all are simply..... Perfect..
This weekend while he played this song at Muddy Roots Fest someone proposed in the crowd and she said yes.
He stopped the set when he realized what was happening and saw everyone cheering for them and said “we’re singing this song for YOU now !!”
We formed a little circle around them while they had their first dance as an engaged couple.
Everyone belted it as loud as they could after that for them two lil lovebugs
I’m not crying… you’re crying ! ❤
This is by far one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard
Last night my husband and I were singing this all night. Gonna check more of thos cat out. Fantastic voice and sound
Thank you for all the wonderful music you've gifted into my life. When i first found your music I was in a really bad place mentaly and hearing your music has helped me remmber that not everything's shitty in life and this video made me cry thank you for being all of our amigos.
So raw and beautiful. You sing about the dark desires that are in so many of us. Keeping singing on Brother xoxo
found out about this guy as he opened for dropkick murphys in pensacola the other day. he's amazing!
I live in Pensacola too! I discovered him today :((
This is so beautiful. I feel the pain in your voice. I love Amigo the Devil!!
Bravo' You described 20 years of my life emotionally, so eloquently the first time I hear this I broke down in tears. Being a tough ranch girl that never happens, bravo'
Awesome tune with great dark lyrics that tell dark personal story thru my open intepertation of many songwriters!!!
I love the new songs but this is my favorite of them all. Can't wait to see you live again.
This song just sent me down a rabbit hole of your entire catalog. Amazing is an understatement
“I love the shitty things we do together.” That line man. That fucking line.
Almost every line in this song is gold.
"Home is the last place I'd stand to be with anyone but you."
"I got into a cab that smells like vinegar, with stains that show what's in the girl before."
"I want to be where all the stupid things I say sound so romantic and true."
One of my favorite songs ever!!! Romance, grit, devotion . What more can you want!?!? want it played at my wedding, if I ever have one (😂).
I'm gonna be your stand in drummer for your show in Dallas Anthony!!
This song is on repeat. Ive never heard a more perfect song. Im addicted to it.
Daaaaaaaaaamn! Best video ever. I cannot wait anymore to see you here in México! Domination fest!!!!
The open air recording of this is so beautiful
"Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers.
And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself.
But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."
-James Crumely
So where does a sober alcoholic fit in there?
I dont drink anymore but dont mind a beer with a meal had a steak dinner two beers a little after my divorce went to see my two girls and on way home had food was a bit tipsy and sad after leaving my my kids so my eyes started leaking lol
Can confirm, will never get drunk because I am deathly afraid of the dark shit I'll blurt out when I get drunk. I don't know who I am when I take the heavy reigns off and I never wanna know.
@@yurmumsgjey you don't have too get drunk but you should know your demons well.
@@urso656zhu7 - Absolutely.
This is so raw for me because I feel that I look the exact same when I play music.. no discernable eye contact because I'm playing back into my own head.. And the romantization of a bender with your beloved despite knowing how wrong it is but how close it brings you two together in that moment...
Perfect pitch. I'm in love.
As soon as I saw who it was pop up with the banjo and seeing the picture where he was ooh I knew it was going to be good... I f****** love/hate you for making me think about her. Another night alone of my own doing. Uh, how I cherish this pain. Thank you for enhancing the intensity of this deep emptiness and longing for her, the pleasure of this sad experience is beyond words. 🙏❤️
I looked up "Murderfolk" and this is what came up.
Bridge City Sinners is a great murderfolk band as well
@@amberdowns911 I have to look them up.
Harley Poe is another good murderfolk and I think they toured together recently too !!
@@realmkeeper7770 during the pandemic?
@@marvinthemaniac7698 no before that,, I'm not the best with time so it was probably like a yearish ago and my brain made me think it was closer than it actually was
I used to listen to this song all of the time. Completely forgot about it for MONTHS. Re-discovered it. Became obsessed with it all over again.
I thought this dude looked crazy as hell when I watched it the first time.. but I downloaded it and I still come back and watch and listen cuz it's actually kinda beautifully crazy.
Amigo will not only blow up. But stay on top which is the hardest part.
I think, you've just applied for the music part of the next Tarantino Movie ^^
Possibly my new favourite version of this song... amazing! The end is perfect!
The songs he sings possess him . Its beautiful
Absolutely amazing! Powerful, he’s just as great live!
On loop for days ❤️
Amazing range - beautiful voice and he could sing anything ✨❤️✨💚✨
Singing along to this live back in October was such a great experience. One of my favorite songs ever, such a cool location too :)
Your music has been helping me through some real shit recently man, thank you
Disturbingly awesome. Strangely hooked.
He was incredible in San Antonio. One of my favorite shows in a very long time.
I wanted to go to that so badly but I was at work in West Texas
My hubby Stone introduced me to your tunes and must say you are extremely talented, gifted and blessed. TY for the messages as they are not only deep but very real (i personally can relate). Wish you, your wife as well as your loved ones much blessings, safety and health always. Namaste 🙏
“Went to the bar to get a little closer to myself and the parts I never really wanted to know”
First line and it’s my favorite part
Who could possibly give this a thumbs down?! This song is my new addiction. Out of the 1M+ views, you can guarantee 900k are me, alone. “I wanna be where all the stupid shit I say sounds so romantic and true”. He’s speaking my love language. Love you, Amigo!
1.6 million i didnt even realize my nigga blew up. With Days N daze having a charting album is this the start of a folk punk revolution? Nah but maybe like it becoming more mainstream in the alt stream lol
Just saw you live in Spokane back in January; the first time I ever hung out with my girlfriend, I showed her "Perfect Wife" and a second fan was born. We listen to your music all the time, and we're getting close to our first anniversary.
So it was pretty awesome our first concert together was seeing you.
Keep up the great music and hope to see you out this way again soon!
What a songwriter!!
saw him at a concert last night, in all honesty he was the best, I had never heard of him before last night but here I am now.
I know an existential crisis when I see one. Same, dude. Stay strong. We can make it through this.
My ex split 9 months ago. Was with her for 4 years and she ghosted me a month into a job i got to start supporting us and get us off our feet. I havent been able to play my guitar since so when i do play i feel like im gonna look just as frantic and crazy as this guy when i get hit with the random mood swings. Not to knock the look you make when you play, i think its totally awesome and makes it interesting to watch especially when you throw in those deep voiced lines like "IF I WAS DEAD I'D- float"
Edit: 3 years later and i can tell you his personality doesnt just split when the voice goes deep. It splits in moments where he says "i want to be, where all the stupid shit i say..." where as the studio recording says "alll the stupid things i say..."
Sweet. Fucking. Christ. This is incredible. Such heart-wrenching agony and ecstacy in his voice when the chorus hits. Absolutely beautiful. This is a man that knows pain.
My daughter shared this song with me. It perfectly describes the love between me and my late husband.
This passed by in my spotify Discover Weekly... Immediately grabbed my attention. This is amazing.
Apparently it's over 4 years old but it's entirely new to me :)
