31. Lived by the gun fast and angry for years. Now im a father and a husband but the rage is still there. Music like this makes me know im not alone. Lord save our souls
Being a father changes you but also, not really. My son is 13 now and he started asking me about smoking weed the other day but he said, "I know you never did it but did you know anyone that did?". Oh, if he only knew. I quit using dope the day he was born. Hope you're doing well ✌️
The truest statement ive heard in years. After losing my father, a man who passed that bitterness down. Lord help is all is the only thing I can think. Good luck
@@matthew6427I am doing well actually. Since leaving this comment 7 months ago I have lead my family back home to the one true Church our ancestors believed in for 2000 years. When I returned and began giving back, and yes I mean with money, the Lord has showered me in opportunities. I am now providing more for my family than I ever could have dreamed. I am no longer needing to put my life in danger to make an extra buck when ends need met. I can breathe again and I can be proud of where my money comes from. God provides. Christ is King 👑 Good luck, and God Bless
@@ethanchristie4207God Bless Ethan. Break the chain of passing on the bitterness. Its hard it really is. I truly believe the world has been made so bad that the only thing you can count on to be Good, True, and Beautiful is God. This world is going to Hell, dont let it take you with it. God Bless
Sober for six months, going on seven. When I hear this song I hear my own personal hell I was trapped in. It doesn’t pull me back down, just keeps me going. You got reasons to keep fighting Don’t ever give up. No matter how much these fuckers get you down no matter how much it feels like they kick you to the ground. Throw that bottle against the wall and start kicking right back.
when I listen to this tune, I can see every one of them together playing this song in my mind. that would be something, spit shine was like an all star band of traveling American friends. Ashley sawing the fiddle and cutting that rhythm with her eyes closed and the grin she gets when it sounds awesome. Nicholas singing his heart out till his neck veins pop out, strumming the hell out of ol Caroline. Ben keeping perfect time on guitar while singing harmony like its his own song. I can feel the atmosphere in the studio and my six gun in my grip. it is soo vivid in this song, like feeling a ghost beside me. that would sure be an incredible sight to have seen spit shine together doing what they do best. I love every one of y'all and your music so much. I will look for you all one day riding that big freight train that flies in the sky!
I saw Ashley, Ben, and Matt Heckler in Tulsa at the Mercury Lounge on the close of their tour earlier this year. I spoke with Matt and a few fans. I called it The Grace of Good, Trains, Pains, and Record Deals. www.reallibertymedia.com/2019/05/a-ponder-gander-podcast-blog-2019-05-24
Totally agree. Pretty sure Shannon is singing background on this though. Which makes it even more gut wrenching. Considering Nicholas was her soulmate.
I put a pistol to my head playing this song couldn’t stomach pulling the trigger that night. The next morning the trigger assembly fell out when going to grab for it to put it away.
@@williamfoster8131 I know. Sorry about that comment man. I was drunk. I think i thought he was talking about Ben Tod, even though it clearly says Nick. I feel like a dick! Thanks for letting me know. I totally forgot about that.
Lyrics: When I get my gun Oh, I’m checkin out Out of everything Oh, I’m going down Ain't no one I love That I’ve treated well I’m holding on to you And staring into hell I’m holding on to you and staring into hell Bullet for me Bullet for you I’m going down You’re coming too I’ve cut you down Baby its no lie Next time we have it out We’re both gonna die Next time we have it out we’re both gonna die I’ve got my medicine Baby, it won’t do Every hurt I have Taken out on you I’m broken down Baby, I’m no good Don’t know why you don’t leave me When you know you should Don’t know why you don’t leave me when you know you should When I get my gun I'm cashing out Oh, Out of Tennessee Where the noose is runnin’ now I can hear it in your voice See it in your eyes All the pain I’ve caused All my dirty lies When I get my gun Oh I’m checkin out Out of everything Oh I’m going down Ain’t no one I love That I’ve treated well I'm holding on to you And staring into hell Oh, I’m holding on to you and staring into hell
This might be the darkest, most chilling song I have ever heard. And I listen a lot to Black Metal and what not. But this is another level altogether...!
Came across this group after reading up on Benjamin Tods story, such a shame what happened to Nick, I’m grateful I came across this group. Solid music.
That s song gives me chills. Reminds me of a few friends I've lost from the military and law enforcement sides of my dual career. I can only dream of the life Lost Dog (hopefully) still lives. This is some of the most beautiful music I've heard. As a fellow musician who dreamt of this life before starting a family I wish you all the best! Nate LewisIndiana
im sure i missed some, but heres what i got of the lyrics (edited from comments) When I get my gun Oh, I’m checkin out Out of everything Oh, I’m going down Aint no one I love That I’ve treated well I’m holding on to you And staring into hell I’m holding on to you and staring into hell Bullet for me Bullet for you If I’m going down You’re coming too I’ve cut you down Baby its no lie Next time we have it out We’re both gonna die Next time we have it out we’re both gonna die I’ve got my medicine Baby, it won’t do Every hurt I have Taken out on you I’m broken down Baby, I’m no good Don’t know why you don’t leave me When you know you should Don’t know why you don’t leave me when you know you should When I get my gun Im cashing out Oh, Out of Tennessee Where the noose is runnin’ out (????)

@@chadadams2407 hey is there anyone music to find from them? I'm new to them I found them late 2021 and I cannot get enough. I hope that Nick singing his soul put for eternity may his soul be at peace
I do, but I'm too drunk to explain. If you go to my channel, under my cover of this song you'll find my interpretation of it that I typed out for somebody else.
@@joshharris3784 Don't mistake Hell for some personal fantasy, that's how you get trapped with no way out. Some of us understand what I'm talking about.With any luck you won't.
I’ve seen hell. Just because your experience didn’t lead you to music doesn’t mean it won’t lead others to music. Everyone’s journey and fall is different. Don’t be so arrogant as to think you know the only road.
Those opening banjo notes are absolutely gorgeous
This song is why I picked up a banjo. RIP Nick
Thank god for rabbit holes. Wow this is some amazing music. RIP Nicholas
✊👊👊

43 now... same.
As a divorced father, sadly... the rage is alive. It recedes, like the tides, but always returns.
Love and blessings, my people ✌️

Wasn’t in the mood to listen to music but this song started and I listened to the whole thing. This is an awesome song.

Lyrics:
When I get my gun
Oh, I’m checkin out
Out of everything
Oh, I’m going down
Ain't no one I love
That I’ve treated well
I’m holding on to you
And staring into hell
I’m holding on to you and staring into hell
Bullet for me
Bullet for you
I’m going down
You’re coming too
I’ve cut you down
Baby its no lie
Next time we have it out
We’re both gonna die
Next time we have it out we’re both gonna die
I’ve got my medicine
Baby, it won’t do
Every hurt I have
Taken out on you
I’m broken down
Baby, I’m no good
Don’t know why you don’t leave me
When you know you should
Don’t know why you don’t leave me when you know you should
When I get my gun
I'm cashing out
Oh, Out of Tennessee
Where the noose is runnin’ now
I can hear it in your voice
See it in your eyes
All the pain I’ve caused
All my dirty lies
When I get my gun
Oh I’m checkin out
Out of everything
Oh I’m going down
Ain’t no one I love
That I’ve treated well
I'm holding on to you
And staring into hell
Oh, I’m holding on to you and staring into hell
Savage steal \m/
Do ya have the chord progression?
@@highwayghost900 sounds like Em C G D; C H Em C H Em but maybe with a capotasto
@@Ghruul found it, capo 2nd fret. C,G,D,Em, little B7 in there too. Thanks for your reply though, appreciate ya✌
Ghruul H?
This is one of those songs won't get out of my head
How this song isn’t a hit I’ll never know.
Because it's a BANGER! rip Nicholas Ridout ;-)
my day just aint complete without this tune
Love you and miss you spit shine
Don’t know why I like this so much, it’s pure tragic
This might be the darkest, most chilling song I have ever heard. And I listen a lot to Black Metal and what not. But this is another level altogether...!
just full body goosebumps over here.
These guys were great. Such a shame Nicholas died so young he was crazy talented.
Can't quite get enough keep returning for a listen
Beautiful... timeless..
Thank you for this, Nick. Hope I see a live concert up in the clouds one day.
this song gets me in the feels lol
Current mood.
Came across this group after reading up on Benjamin Tods story, such a shame what happened to Nick, I’m grateful I came across this group. Solid music.
check out their first record----the songs on youtube with the hobo boot on it---great songs---old church yard,--caroline
That s song gives me chills. Reminds me of a few friends I've lost from the military and law enforcement sides of my dual career. I can only dream of the life Lost Dog (hopefully) still lives.

+Nathan Lewis thanks for your service man
Good
Always find myself back here
Thr tragedy in this song... amazing musicians.
New favorite song.
Repeat on for one year.
Spitshine reunion with Matt Hekler would be amazing
Gonna be hard to do without Nick :(
Helllll Yeeeeaaaa!

I'm pretty sure it's "why you don't LEAVE me when you know you should". Thanks though!
@@zelupl2063 yours makes way more sense, i had been trying to figure it out.
any ideas on the late verse "out of tennesse where the noose........."
@@mjq21xb I'm not a native speaker and can't really understand sang words most of the time...
I think it's bullet for me bullet for you, makes a lot more sense in under context of the song
@@johnnyderpp4771 I like it, makes way more sense
Oh dear brother...
I believe it’s time for lee-eee-eee-vin.
I was just thinking these songs were related earlier
As i sit in this parking lot alone. I find it hard for any reason to keep the car running.. im checkin out
you all right
"I'm sorry, we ran your 4473 and you've been denied."

Where can I find a physical copy of this album?
spitshine.bandcamp.com/album/a-bottle-and-a-gun-and-a-troubled-mind
They only sell digital, but might as well inquire.
😮
Lost dog street band?
The band before that with Nicholas rideout, i think
does anyone know where I could buy a physical copy of this album?
Doesn't exist sadly. Shannon jae ridout may possibly maybe do one in the future? At least I can dream. She hasn't talked about it. But yanno.
You can buy it on their bandcamp though! A digi album I mean. Shannon gets the money from it too, which is good
@@chadadams2407 hey is there anyone music to find from them? I'm new to them I found them late 2021 and I cannot get enough. I hope that Nick singing his soul put for eternity may his soul be at peace
now I'm holding on to u and staring into hell
Oh every hurt i have, ive taken out on you
Anybody habe a chord progression for this?
I do, but I'm too drunk to explain. If you go to my channel, under my cover of this song you'll find my interpretation of it that I typed out for somebody else.
I wish the audio quality was better
NO one who has stared into hell takes it lightly enough to sing about it; the experience is too devastating, destructive.
Robert Davidson that’s a pretty ignorant statement. For many, song is the only way out of Hell.
@@joshharris3784 Don't mistake Hell for some personal fantasy, that's how you get trapped with no way out. Some of us understand what I'm talking about.With any luck you won't.

The dude singing took his own life. It seems to me that he wasn't taking it lightly. This is a rough listen.
I concur fuck you how dare you say what someone else’s hell is ! You sound like someone who’s read about it again FUCK YOU
