GemsOnVHS just wanted to say thank you guys for showing me all this incredible artists I have a big music taste but I am in and mostly listen to punk bands but there is somthing about old country and folk music that worms my hart and is relatable thank you for letting me see and support these amazing artists
Arlo is spectacular once again. You're lucky to get to witness things like this first-hand Anthony, and a good man for recording it for the rest of us. Posterity and music history demands things like this be kept safe in collective knowledge. Thank you.
I dig it. I'm so grateful for you guys at Gem and am so happy I found your channel; it's been my favorite since the moment I heard the first song from you guys.
I was looking for a song with the name McKinley in it and this video was one of the choices. I'm glad I gave it a listen that was great. Can't wait to hear more. I'll be watching and listening. And buying as well if you're in the music store. Love vinyl records.
I am so glad I stumbled across this channel a few months ago. I’ve discovered so many great artists that I now consider my favorites because of what you do. Myself, as well as so many others, thank you for the work that you do. God bless.
Whoever gave you a thumbs down has squirrels juggling chainsaws in their heads ........your one of the best Arlo , a replacement to many that have past (thank you for that)
America surely is young, but this music shows a genuine interest in the development of folk music. Not consumerist metal, rock, jazz or any bebop, but songs with a story from real people. Makes ya hopeful.
When the muse dies and the songs don’t come so easy and the rivers dry from the salts upon our land I see the crow fly and the eagle falls from her throne and a lover’s scorn, finally these songs are born When the mountains are stripped from sea to sea and this whole world seems flipped and turned around. When a soldier trips and gets lost inside his own landmine Then the world will mourn, finally these songs are born. When a young girl loses everything she believes in and a drunkard chooses drink over family. And if a father uses fear for something righteous, good God. Then the world will mourn, finally these songs are born. When I realized that love only lasts if you make it. When I found out it’s not only up to me. When the lover that I thought would love me forever had gone. Yea my heart is torn, finally these songs are born Oh when the muse dies and the songs don’t come so easy. And the rivers dry from the salts upon our land If a father uses fear for something righteous, good God Then the world will mourn, finally our songs are born [fixed a couple]
This is my first comment ever. Arlo reminded me of old school crooner like George straight getting boned by hank Williams while high as fuck of the opium poppy Singing songs about real life. I am Delmerticus JoneZ and I will one day play with the lonesome sound. Really .... I look at music a whole different way because of arlo McKinley and the lonesome sound. More vodka then goodnight !
GemsOnVHS is one of the best video series on TH-cam.
hey thanks buddy
Write me offline so I can tell you where to send the check.

A soldier gets lost in is own land mind... I see what you did there. And it’s purdy. Real purdy.
Amazing.

YES IT TAKES TWO TO MAKE A LIFE TOGETHER
I need the lyrics to this song
When the muse dies and the songs don’t come so easy
and the rivers dry from the salts upon our land
I see the crow fly and the eagle falls from her throne
and a lover’s scorn, finally these songs are born
When the mountains are stripped from sea to sea
and this whole world seems flipped and turned around.
When a soldier trips and gets lost inside his own landmine
Then the world will mourn, finally these songs are born.
When a young girl loses everything she believes in
and a drunkard chooses drink over family.
And if a father uses fear for something righteous, good God.
Then the world will mourn, finally these songs are born.
When I realized that love only lasts if you make it.
When I found out it’s not only up to me.
When the lover that I thought would love me forever had gone.
Yea my heart is torn, finally these songs are born
Oh when the muse dies and the songs don’t come so easy.
And the rivers dry from the salts upon our land
If a father uses fear for something righteous, good God
Then the world will mourn, finally our songs are born
[fixed a couple]
@@l2ozglass thank you
@@l2ozglass very close. "And the rivers dry from the salts upon our land"
Uhh where the fuck is there a stretch of mountains from the pacific to the Atlantic in the states?
That's some realness
Yeeee!!
God he's so good.
Don’t let me down Arlo!!! P.s. yeah
Wow
Nice
The fact that this video doesn’t have a lot more views is a travesty
Ace
A lovely melody, but it felt like Arlo was singing about transcending typical music rather than actually singing something transcendental
