- Them damn, cold vampires, been keeping me awake
Tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take
But don’t let em’ steal your hope child
Turn it something green,
Damn you and damn all your ties to this machine.
Your ties to this machine.
You moved to the city girl,
to make something of yourself,
but them vampires are groping you every night on East and 12th
So every night you carry, a knife and some spray,
to keep them blood suckers at least a four inch blade away, a four inch blade away
So you want to be an artist,
make sure that it makes sense,
but them vampires will take every ounce of the blood that you can give.
So never let em speak,
don’t let em tell a lie,
let them know that you’re walking alone to a warm home tonight
Them damn, cold vampires, that are keeping me awake, tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take
But don’t let them steal your soul boy,
and turn it something green,
damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
your ties to this machine
Them vampires are living,
on the street and on the screens,
selling you some bullshit that you won’t ever need
Them vampires will tell you what to think and what to say,
so I’m begging you my darling won’t you learn to walk away,
just learn to walk away
Then damn, cold vampires,
been keeping me awake, tryna’ build an empire on things that they can take
But don’t let them steal your soul boy, and turn it something green,
damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
Your ties to this machine
But there’s hope for the mortal, to stay clear and stay true, so look out for the vampires, that are on the hunt for you,
cause they’re on the hunt for you.
Then damn, cold vampires,
that are keeping me awake,
tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take
But don’t let them steal your soul boy, and turn it something green,
damn you and damn all your ties to the machine
your ties to the machine - เพลง
This is the last song I sent to my Dad before he committed suicide two days later. He was a big fan, and I sent him pretty much every song you’ve ever released on TH-cam. I’ll always hold this song dear, thanks for all your music man. It impacts more than you know.
Hope you’re doing alright man
I’m so sorry for your loss man. I hope you’re doing well
Sorry for your loss brother
You’re at home here brother
Welcome home Brother's. Stay strong
If anyone was worried about Zach Bryan selling out, worry no more. He got a bill from Verizon, so he wrote a song about corporations sucking the soul out of him. I don’t see that same guy getting ruined by the mainstream music industry.
Money talks a pretty slick game.
cough cough, tyler childers /:
I wholeheartedly believe his lyric, "I don't care about the stage." We are truly gifted to have what we have from him, and from the bottom of my heart I thank him.
data caps are a way to grab more cash for nothing. there is no finite amount of 1s and 0s. god for bid we stop providers from ripping people off
@@leltrash5683 Tyler Childers is making the music he wants who in their right mind working in the mainstream music industry would ask him to do that
This man is something very rare.
He's a poet with both feet on the ground.
occasionally one when he needs a beat lol
Agreed
Well said man.
I believe that mainstream music critiques don’t hold a candle to these quiet insightful and on point comments on TH-cam.
Well said.
*gets over charged on his phone bill*
Zach Bryan: These cold damn vampires
Remember boys, a Man is what he makes himself, not what he is told he is.
@razxrwitch same
@razxrwitch we all did 😔
Right. Not everyone born as perfect as some though, right? Jebus, u guys are a riot. 🤣
Came back to relike this comment. Hits close to home
*"Heard they're reforming the Dawnguard. Vampire hunters or something, in the old fort near Riften. Might consider joining up myself."*
Ah yes,
an aristocrat I see.
God tier comment
Ahhh a man of good taste... Zach Bryan and Skyrim
I was a traveler like you once. I was heading south. Until I took an arrow to the knee
Hahahaha yes
this guy has more talent in the heel of his boot then any mainstream country artist today
facts.
Preach
Truth
I’m thinking maybe more talent then all of them put together
I can't listen to any other country artist at all....anymore
Been struggling with depression for years. It’s been building up forever. Broke my ankle in 3 places tore ligaments and dislocated my foot a month or so ago. Never been so depressed in my life. I’ve been fighting off suicidal thoughts. Things like waking up and even opening my eyes have been the hardest thing ever for me. At times felt like I had no one and have legitimately felt like I have no reason to be on this earth. Zach brother your music has saved my life. I know it sounds cliche but every lyric resonates in every song. This one especially. You’re my hero brother. Please never sell out and always be you. A Verizon bill you received saved my life. I’m bigger than my problems. I don’t know you but I can truly call you my brother. Thank you.
Stay strong brother🙏🏼 live in the light
Whoever disliked this video is heading north
☠
😂
Brah I live in the North
north livers soz but take a joke
Under rated comment😂
as excited as i am for American Heartbreak, i'd love it if Zach released the raw versions of his songs alongside the studio produced ones, like he did with something in the orange.
I totally agree. There something so raw and emotional about this version that just hits different.
@@levisoper8900 agreed.
The raw recording and cold breaths sets the scene.
Who needs a kick drum when you got an attic with thick base boards?? Love the passion Zach has.
That's my favorite part.. The whole attic is a kick drum
wow really wasn't expecting something this good to come out of anger against verizon
Fuck verizon lol
I low-key want to give gratitude to Verizon for giving Zach the high bill because I mean this song is absolutely beautiful beyond words🙏🙌❤✨✨✨
me and all my homies hate Verizon
What is Verizon?
You've never used Verizon have you? My only surprise is that nobody had made a song about their b.s. sooner!
Surely I'm not the only one who gets shivers when he starts tapping his foot. It just gets me...
A man in tune with one’s soul
Love it!
Same here! :)
When that foot stomp comes in “chef’s kiss”
It’s freaking great lol
If you can see him live, do it. This is incredible with the drums and the band.
Words have power, and words like "fuck" are hard on the ear because they convey a certain intensity. "Headed South" and "Me and Mine" is an amazing example of how "fuck" can be used to peak a song perfectly. I thought the first upload was amazing. However, a man's convictions and moral compass are all that he has. If this version is what comes from the heart, that's all that matters. Like I said on the pervious upload, ZLB couldn't miss if he tried.
Never had and never will Wright a bad song
Fuck, why did this just read like a sonnet? Outstanding.
Yessir. Well said. I'm a God-fearing man myself. However, I don't even find works like "fuck" to be "bad." Some knucklehead just came along and decided to coin certain words as "bad." lol. The only bad word God ever spoke of was...His name in vein.
Anyways, like you said, the use of rough language in songs is such a great way to convey so much intense emotion, as you said. Zach's most "profane" songs are always my favorites, for this very reason!
Olivia Kelly bless you
The Comedy Bros words are mediums for emotional expression, that’s for sure. But Zach Bryan has his reasons, and they’ve not steered him wrong yet.
couldn’t think of a better ending to my day then a song from this man and the Oregon rain outside
Miss the Oregon rain
Bro I’m on the same vibes
that high desert rain hits alot different with this song goin, wish i could have some ole kansas thunderstorms while listening to this.
only Zach Bryan could make a song about a Verizon bill and still make you want to cry
For real. True artistry
"Inspired by" I don't think that girl is trying to keep Verizon a 4 inch blade away.
I don’t need Zach Bryan to make me want to cry over a Verizon bill.
I just can’t get enough. I found you at a pretty bad time in my life and listening to the words you sing brings me a different kind of peace. I could play every single song of yours on repeat.
I agree Hailey. He's definitely been on repeat for awhile now
I feel the exact same way, he has honestly changed my life for the better.
Same, and I do. I also see him anytime he’s around.
His words resonate inside my soul.
Remember when Zach Bryan wrote a bad song? Yea, I don’t either.
Pepperidge farms doesn’t even remember
I sure a hell don't lol
We were saying that exact thing as I read this... confirmation. He's just so real and raw, I fall in love and am also heartbroken all at once
Amen to that
Birmingham is awful
one of the most talented artists on the internet, been following you since heading south and you’ve only gotten better and better, great work!
Imagine a duet of Zach and Colter Wall...
Imagine ZLB and childers...
@@mikesteven3611 or all 3?
I’m all for that
Colter is how I found zach and damn I'm lucky I did
@@thecramman475 Might I ask how? Did Colter mention him?
I'm just glad the song is back up.
When is this coming to Spotify lol
I'm disappointed this couldn't have been on his EP he just put out!
I second this
He said it’s gonna be on his next album
@@michaeljordanvlogs9965 sweet
@@michaeljordanvlogs9965 I believe you but where did he say that at?
God fearing
Zach following
It's almost like Zach is unlocking a new level to his sound. Absolutely loving this new stuff, bud. My wife, two little girls, and I love rocking out to your songs, so please never stop - out here making life saving music!
Well said brother
holy shit. when the stomp base kicked in my whole body crawled...keep giving me the chills please there's nothing better than that
That foot hitting the board has power and emotion behind it. This is amazing.
Places Zach has recorded:
Attic, Canoe, Barn, Space Needle, A Bronco on the Road
Places Zach needs to record:
A Plane, Death Valley, Basement/Crawlspace
Bathroom, wendy's drive-thru, underwater.... Lol
How about Red Rocks?
@@keithmichaels1686 of course, how could I forget. If he ever gets to play red rocks you bet your ass I’m doing everything I can to be there
My office, my house, my boat, my deer stand
How can he just put such fire ass songs on TH-cam and not drop all of them on Apple Music like I’m trying to hear this on repeat in my car without ads for hours
Check out soundcloud.
This man shouldn’t be allowed to exist. How can you possibly write this many amazing songs? This man is country royalty. 🤘🏻🙏🏻
Only thing more impressive than his music is where he records his music!
The one person that disliked this... you’re a vampire😤
no, they work at Verizon
He thaught the button was Dis I like
You’re* but yeah for sure I agree lol
@@HNTEisKING my bad, edited. Thanks
A Verizon vampire
Love the line about vampires being those who build an empire off the things they can take! 😮
Watched this as soon as it was uploaded and after watching it all the way through I was about to comment how amazing I thought it was and how impressed I was, thinking I’d definitely be the first person to comment. Nope. Already at least 20 other comments 😂 dudes a legend
I’ve never been so happy for a re-upload in my life
The dislikes are Verizon wireless employees who have no soul
VZW employee here, this video was not disliked by me. Will check with co-workers
😂😂😂
Realtor:so this is the attic it’s unfinished and it gets a little cold up here
Zach:*taps the floorboards with his foot* I’ll take it
Realtor:well version is the only service provider so their prices are hi-
Zach: I said I’ll take it.
Comment of the year!!!
@@jamieambergates this comment is underrated 😂
The appreciation I have for the person who made this comment is immaculate
Just use carriers who use versions towers
@@jamieambergates thank you
I would love to cover this song but I can’t get through it without choking up.
Joined the Army at 17, medically retired at 39. Came home from deployment in 2010, it was fine, stressful but nothing I would consider traumatic. I spent the next decade on a roller coaster of good times with high confidence, self worth, and really dark times. As I continued with my next career I finally broke. Abusing adderall to manage work, a drink or a bottle for taking too much adderall, marijuana to keep my nerves.
Have been in recovery for three years now. I’ll never fully right half the things I’ve done wrong. But I can still to even the ledger.
So thankful for PTSD Foundation of America for helping me understand and process my trauma.
Man I’m so blessed being my wildest dreams.
Zach I'm locking you in for our wedding in 2 years. Please honor current rates cause by then you'll be a platinum selling artist buddy
So… did he! I think he reached that status
man I am so damn glad this man became a musician
Makes me kinda glad Verizon’s prices are so outrageous, I can’t lie
Congrats Zach. You did it. Watching this three years later.. and this is still my favorite
He is amazing. I'm obsessed with his music and authenticity. His lyrics heal a weary soul
Way better than the released version of cold damn vampires
How is this man not selling out stadiums, easily one of the best country artists around
This has actually aged very well. As this man is selling out every arena he plays. So pumped for him
When my father was dying your sound gave him peace. I thank you for that
I'm sure you won't see this, Zach, but if you do I just want to remind you of the power you posses. I've been struggling with stress and anxiety and I can't explain it but your lyrics and authenticity just put me at ease. God bless you and your heathen friends, God bless Rose for supporting the hell out of you, and never stop putting out the music that you love. The people that appreciate your music appreciate it because they know it comes from the heart and you're not releasing it for the money. We recognize that you're just trying to make the world a better place with your music and it is working. Godspeed, and I can't wait to hear what you have for us next.
i wish they had kept this version with the stomping as the bass for the album
Thank god this is back out 🙌
This is the most punk rock topic a country singer has ever written about
This could very well be the best acoustic version of any song ever performed. The way he’s tapping his foot for the kick drum, is spine-tingling. Seeing his breathe when he sings !! My whole face goes numb when listening to this.
So proud of who you’ve become. I’m from agra, not far from carney. always good to see people make it big.
I'm from cushing! super cool to see someone so close from home make it big and be so talented
No studio, no auto tune, no bullshit...just a man, mike and his guitar 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Still can’t believe how good this version is
This guy is not in another level... its in a new league! What an amazing voice. damn
That was a bad ass song, definitely didn’t expect that
I’m not sure if I’m more jealous of his voice or that mustache
He is so organic, he is so authentic and untouched. Just an absolute beautiful soul that I can feel to my bones.
I still remember I found Zach at one of the lowest points of my life, he’s been the best influence and helped the most. All I can say is thank you, Zach Bryan🤍We love you
Spent like 20 mins looking for this post today
Shop radio is cranked with this blaring!!!
y'all hiring?
This is one of my favorite songs my you I love your music Zach!❤
100% best singer/artist ive ever heard
Love every one of your songs. I stay up late every night listening to you and you get me threw some shit. Much love ❤️
Thank the lord he uploaded it again!!
I always see people commenting on artists saying " your music saved me" and I never could find an artist like that. Until now. Zach Bryan isn't just another artist to me he seems like that one true friend that knows and understands you, when I see Zach Bryan I dont think celebrity I think. Hello old friend its been to long.
This man is just so pure and has such soul in his spoken words.... zach has no idea but he has helped me through such lows in my life and he’s there on my highs too. Please come to Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 WE LOVE YOU ZACH BRYAN
,NEVER STOPPP!
I was pulled over for disturbing the peace in a neighborhood for playing this song on max volume screaming every fucking word.
Cop probably listened to the song and decided you’re going through enough shit and let you go😂
no you didn't.
Play harder brother you just earned a friend u don’t know me but I feel your soul down here in port isabel Texas
I really hope people understand this song and your song Ninth Cloud. Son youve be raised right and i can only imagine how proud your parents are. Special talent using it in Most High's way.
Every word he sings rings true in my ears. I've never heard a word or song from Zach i didn't like. He is of a rare breed of people in this world and every day it gets harder and harder to find genuine people. Music is the medicine that heals the soul and he sure as hell knows what he's doing to heal this world one song at a time. On more than one occasion hes brought tears to my eyes and helped me through the pain.
Just wanna give this damn man a handshake
Zach you pour you heart and soul into every song and it is truly astonishing
the best song so far tbh
That was fantastic
We need this on spotify I’ve listened to it 1000 times and plan to listen for 1000 more
This is when a man puts his heart and soul into a song. Pure talent
Of all the awesome versions I’ve heard of this song this one is by far my absolute favorite. It’s raw form is exactly what I love the most. Pure perfection 👌🏻
This man is a legend
If this doesn’t send chills down your spine idk what will. Wow
Goosebump inducing song for sure
It does not send chills down my spine, but it does send shivers down spines.
I know, I will leave now
@@samreynolds9925 Golden reference and a missed opportunity on my part😂
Amazing man.
This is the biggest song of our generation with the right outlet!!!!
I'm loving this one!
Just beautiful as always.
Forever a fan... my favorite artist.
This is currently my favorite song. Really incredible man your music is an absolute treasure of a discovery.
This is still top 5
I'm sitting at this breathtaking spot out on Wister Lake in Oklahoma. So peaceful and serene with your music playing in the background. Your music has been healing for my soul the past few months. I was a ridiculously successful business woman for over a decade... Ended up losing it all along with my family trying to keep the machine and facade running. So now here I am at the bottom, rock bottom as they call it. So I'm headed South ;) and starting anew on an old dream. Thank you Zack for your music. It speaks to my soul and gives me hope on days its hard to find.
Happy Thanksgiving and I hope your dream comes to fruition! Good luck Miss Stacy!
Hello Stacy how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Zach will go down in history as one of the only artists to NEVER sell out
This man will send chills to your core with every line that comes from his mouth.
He is not as recognised as he should be he's better than most of the country singers that are famous enjoy your ride to the top
But we gotta love that. So many get bigger and lose sight.
I feel like the emotion he has when he is singing really sets him apart from other artists
You definitely have helped me get through some tough times.I know you don't know me man but your poetry has made an impact on the way I see life.
Hey mate just wanted to say thank you for everything your music has done for me and if you ever come to New Zealand you are more than welcome to come stay at my house
I miss the other one he did:( bring back afloat ! You really pushed your voice to the limit and it made it extremely powerful
Yeah it still upsets me that he removed the afloat version
Drives me crazy, he did that with his song Old man as well. He always removes the more raw and emotional version of his songs. Starting to turn me away from him after I fall in love then lose the version I enjoyed so much lol.
@@meloncholy4924 Same, I'm upset that he does this stuff. And this version of old man is the one I remember from him ( th-cam.com/video/5JL-yiBLnSg/w-d-xo.html ) if there is a different one then I'm surprised.
@@Blueee51 yes there was a different one he. You could almost see the tears in his eyes as he sang and it had a much more emotional sound to it.
Man I tell ya right now ole boy was already the man in my book but this is up there with bad dam ass! Good for you man ! Can't imagine being able not to just think it but let it out in that cold ass attic
Damn son. Just gettin better and better. Them vampires take every ounce of blood they can get. You ain't wrong 💙🧡
Hello Joanna how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
So glad this is back up, I’ve been talking about it for the last two days. To be totally honest, I loved the first version more cause it felt a little more raspy and a lot more powerful but still a beautiful song!! Fantastic song man
Words like “fuck” just show passion and intensity in my opinion. Don’t change your writing my friend leave it how your heart intended it. That’s what I want to hear, nothing filtered.
As David Allen Coe said,” sometimes the only right word to use is the word fuck”
thank u danny
But, if you use it sparingly, it will have more gravitas, more power.
I literally love you Zach Bryan!!!
I was so sad when this got deleted. So happy to see it back up!
I’ve never clicked so fast
