#SoundAndFury - เพลง
This album is a little bit like crack, I was hesitant to try it but after listening to it on repeat for the last day nothing else is really doing it for me
Me too! For the last 2 days
watch the movie on netflix. sound and fury. he literally produced anime shorts to go along with his music.
Flawless analogy.
Im going have to check this netflix out
And the worst thing is that there nothing else like this anywhere
This whole song is kind of a middle finger at music journalists and media, and I kind of love it.
Love your channel man!
Oh shit look who it is!
A couple other songs in the album take some too.
Basically what the album is about is every frustration sturgill has with celebrity, touring, record companies, and everythingthing else to do with the industry. He seems to express a want to just be a free man doing in his own thing. However, on one off note, in Sing Along - a song about an abusive relationship that decides that staying is more entertaining than leaving, he affirms that he still loves it.
If I had to pick two quotes off the album to describe it, it would be
"Living the dream makes a man wanna scream
Light a match and burn it all down
Head back home to the mountain"
"compromise is made out of peace, but history is made out of violence"
Lol. You're part of that media.
Ain't nothing changed about "working for the MCA.." but hell atlest now I know where Mercury stands.
This album makes my car go fast.
Not alone at all, it is a miracle I don't have any speeding tickets over the last month.
Hahaha! I’m glad I’m not the only one.
The album is known to add at least 100 hp to any standard motor
Funny how that goes lol
I couldn't believe how much quicker my bike got when I installed the Sturgill Simpson mod.
Lmao pretty much
I love Sturgill"s attitude towards music. F** it I'm doing exactly what I want!!! and it sounds damn good. An original amongst the herd!
bk for president
Fuck has 4 letters not 3
The same Attitude that fueled the Velvet Underground , , the Fugs , Zappa , and Others , , 50 years ago .
I have been in the room with the gold record from the Outlaw album. Waylon, Willie, Tom Paul , and Jessie. Sturgill and Tyler Childers are today's outlaws. May continue to make great music.
If you want something original listen to machine girl "because I'm young and arrogant and hate everything you stand for". Only things like it are their other work, but very much stands on it's own. Showed it to my friend and she immediately added the whole album to a playlist
It's getting harder all the time to argue that Sturgill isn't a musical genius.
Musical Genius or Bat Shit Crazy..Either way I'm in!
People who don't think Sturgill is a musical genius are objectively the equivalent of people that think the earth is flat, the government protects them, and CNN is unbiased journalism.
@@jasonmilton3338 The earth is a beautiful pancake mmm
People argue that he isn't?
@@jasonmilton3338 but I bet you're all about that tucker Carlson fear mongering sensationalism? Probably think Alex Jones is a respected journalist too lol.
I am black and was raised on 50s, 60s 70s Pop, Rock, Soul and Country. I.was not a Sturgill fan until Netflix, so I was unaware of all the Nashville drama and angst over his 'style' and 'category'. My opinion, his 'category' is: GREAT MUSIC and SONGWRITING. PERIOD. I hope that helps. P.S., It somehow darkly reassuring that the country media scene is just as F*cked UP as pop rock soul and hip hop are. Corporate friggin America. gotta love it. (not really)
All great music transcends genre!
This is a very Accurate statement.
I don't like pop country, but blue grass, folk, the blues, have some awesome instrumentals and or songwriting. Older country has great story telling songs. Hell some of them I would call them original hip hop along the lines of Tupac and Nas. It's a similar evolution in how people take a style, simplify it, recycle simple lyrics and deploy it for the masses.
Vernon D.P. Well said, I too believe that “great music” is genre free. But that’s a subjective statement. Music industry across the board is soooo screwed up. Their is other “great music” out there. Cody Jinks, Tyler Childers couple country guys that get no love. & Soul (Al Green & Otis white offspring) check St Paul & the Broken Bones. Idk why they are not bigger. I’ll send ya a couple links.

Listened to this on the way to an ass chewing from a bunch of corporate fucks. I was worried about losing my job for treating my guys like humans BUT...this cured all that. I owned that 4 on 1 ass reaming, took no shit, lost no respect. Lost my job a few months later, directly due to owning that meeting, don't regret it AT ALL. This tune primed me for that, honestly helped save my humanity. Whole album did actually, never ever forget it.
Di-vine Intervention 💯💪
lol fuk yeah!!! 😅👏
Similar situation here in middle management years ago. That's how I became a truck driver. Eff 'em. Don't regret it a bit.
Proud of you. Not sure how much that's worth, but none the less, proud of you.
Fuck that meeting and those corporate cunts!
Well this album is the best thing I have heard in the last 20 years.
Dude. You are so right.
Crazy thing is that this is a soundtrack
@@tarheelplays5922 no its not. The album was animated after it was done. He did an interview where he went into depth in it and the animation houses that did it. Was multiple studios that put in shorts for it.
[Verse 1]
I got a haircut in Norway
When all the weight started pulling me down
Smelling like a waterlogged wet dog
Ain't no way to travel
But as soon as I chopped it all off
It just grew back, thick and brown
I keep tugging on the thread
Hoping it all might come unraveled
I keep trying to throw it all away
But it comes right back around
[Verse 2]
They come backstage and on my bus
Pretending to be my friend
Shaking hands behind grandstands
All wearing the same old grin
Oh, but none of them bother knocking
Oh, they all just come on in
Asking me what all my songs mean
Wonderin' if they're all about them
[Chorus]
Mercury must be in retrograde again
But at least it's not just hangin' around pretendin' to be my friend
Oh, the road to Hell is paved with cruel intention
If it's not nuclear war, it's gonna be a divine intervention
[Verse 3]
Living the dream makes a man wanna scream
Light a match and burn it all down
Head back home to the mountain
Far away from the fool
Of all the journalists and sycophants wielding their brands
And all the traveling trophies and award show stands
And all the haters wishing they was in my band
Sorry boys, the bus is plumb full
[Chorus]
Mercury must be in retrograde again
But at least it's not just hangin' around pretendin' to be my friend
Oh, the road to Hell is paved with cruel intention
If it's not nuclear war, it's gonna be a divine intervention
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
And there's nothing for me outside this hotel room
But another letdown, lonely day
Tour is almost over, and I'll be home soon
And it's all been done two or three times anyway
[Chorus]
Mercury must be in retrograde again
But at least it's not just hangin' around pretendin' to be my friend
Oh, the road to Hell is paved with cruel intention
If it's not nuclear war, it's gonna be a divine intervention
Thank u
Thank you
👍
Thank you for putting the lyrics here
Sorry boys, the bus is plum full. Favorite
“If it’s not nuclear war, it’s gonna be a divine intervention.”
What a powerful statement.
Some of the most original stuff, Ive ever heard. Sturgills known for his traditional country stuff, but man, this is some kinda spaced out natural fit for him. Bad assery.....
I agree 100%
Try pink floyd final cut
@@revzombie?
Kind of reminds me of John Lennon.
Leave this boy alone and let him sing his songs.
🤘Sturgill
Sweet music reference!
Zackly!!!
I feel this.
UK Citizen here. America produces music/people like this. Ain't nothing wrong with America.
buddy the reason our music sounds like this is because of how fucked up our country is lmao
nothin wrong with the people, well most of em, anyways its the evil demons that are in our government deliberately trying to fuck this country up.
Sturgill is amazing. Met him in Japan years ago.
My favorite all time artists are the people who say fuck everything and do what they want. Sturgill simpson is now one of my all time favorites.
Love it so much
Listened to this once added it to my favorites instantly.
Nick Hedrick 🙌🤘
same!
i cant believe this came out almost 4 years ago now. It feels like just a few weeks ago I was skating around town with a big ass speaker in my backpack playing Sturgill songs on full volume
Watched Sound and Fury three times...the songs stuck in my head. I'm retired military so I can relate to the songs. Going on a road trip and I'm going to play everything.
Branch?
The song alone is enough to send you down an interesting thought spiral. Paired with the mind-bending visuals in the Netflix special, this thing launches into the stratosphere. Sturgill Simpson THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
throw in a little lsd or psylocybin.. and its friggin amazing
Just discovered this guy through his Netflix anime. It's everything I want out of music right now.
To say Sturgill walks to the beat of a different drummer is a MASSIVE understatement. I wonder what else his has rattling around that head of his?
Found sturgill by Netflix now I can’t stop listening to it!!!
Travis Nunnally sound and fury on Netflix
Dive deeper my friend great artist
You a little late the party. Sit down and have a beer. Enjoy yourself.
Yamcha El todo poderoso if you like this. You need to hear his old stuff with the band Sunday Valley.
Enjoy the journey through his music! Sturgill Simpson one of country music's G.O.A.T.S
From turtles all the way down, to the best clock maker on Mars..... Sturgill Simpson translates to sheer genius.
well said my freind .. so glad i got to see him at asbury park stone pony
I f***in love this guy
Listen very carefully. Genuine artists communicate through lyrics, metaphors and symbolism. They are trying to tell us something important. Don't just "hear" but listen. Don't just "watch" but see. Stay good and stay free.
I can see you clearly we are match with Both Mercury yeh both mercury and been retrograde with us
It mentions these "friends" we put up with
This song gives me tingling up my neck. I think my nervous system likes it
This madlad FORGED a new category of music.
I have watched the anime 3 times already. i just cant get enough of this album.
One of the best albums of this young century. Sturgill proves you can be original and good.
Sturgill please consider making another album like this one. I will pay good fucking money for it
he let the animators come up with the stories. he just did the music so this was the animators getting to create their vision of his music. everyone was literally creating without the usual restrictions one normally encounters in the entertainment biz. truly a great concept and a great album.
anime artists are up on things socially and politically. There was absolutely no need for him to tell his old college buddies what to do. I hope this is still on Netflix and will continue to be there forever continue to be there forever
This is the best album of 2019. And two of my favourite bands of the past 20 years also released albums in 2019. THIS is a god damn masterpiece of art.
Thank the universe for Sturgill Simpson. This song is FIRE.
Sturgill is the one of the very best.
Album of the year
I first heard this song in a Hooters bar in Liverpool, UK...a core memory was made that day 😃
when i saw the music video for this song....i started to shed a tear. Not many songs do that. this is amazing.
Heard this song Saturday 9/28 on Sirius and thought it might have been 38 Special or a band from the 70s or 80s due to the vocals and keyboard. Thought I was late to the game only to find out the album dropped the previous day. Never heard of Sturgill but wow, a day and a half of listening to all his music I'm a fan. Living in ATL I guess I'll be making a trip to Nashvegas to catch him live! Love Pandora and Sirus as they play artist and cuts you will never hear on the crappy FM genre stations. Keep making music Sturgill, you are making new fans daily!
Nashvegas is probably not the place you are going to catch him very often.
You will enjoy his live shows. They are incredible and he commented in a recent interview that a driving force behind making this album was writing songs that would be fun to play live.
Man where I live all our FM stations play the same 80s rock and new wave poo and have been for the last 10 years, I think they got a bad deal..
1 pop station for the kids, 1 classical station for old conservatives (in America I believe theyd be known as the blue party.. the ones that openly dont give a damn about poor folks, not the ones that kinda low ball it)
I can hear the same whitesnake song on the radio at least 4 times a day, that stupid blue on black song from five finger death punch gets played relentlessly on the "heavy station", one day at work I heard the guy next to me listening to their station and that song came on 4 damn times in that whole day. I got fed up and jammed ear plugs in
For specifics the songs we have on FM are basically finger 11s paralyzed or one thing, the one previously mentioned and the same Metallica song, cant even remember the name but it's one of their slow ones
Hmm we also have the same sum 41 song on near repeat on the "punk" station
One station advertises playing the worlds "best ROOOOCK" and then proceeds to play Imagine Dragons
If it wasnt for my auxiliary cord in my car I would have Paul Walker'd my fucking self
Best song on the album, hands down.
This song sounds like if Margaritaville survived a nuclear apocalypse.
Please don’t compare this man to jimmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very good analogy, fuck the guy above me.
Nah not gonna happen
@@johnme4443 both incredible
Jimmy Buffet was the first thing I thought of when I heard this.
An easy way to tell when an album is great....Every damn song on it is your favorite !!
How could Sturgill leave country music? By making an album no one could complain about. 🙂
He never fucking was country!!!!!!! You can't leave something you were never a part of!
Rob Godwin right? They’re classified under this and that but some of them are just being themselves doing their own thing
@@TheHyde8875 He literally named his album "Metamodern Sounds In Country Music". It sounds like outlaw country music... Because it is. An artist rejecting the genre doesn't make them instantly apart from that genre.
Was never country lol stfu man
Regular Hoe right obviously he hasn’t listened to his first 2 albums
Seriously? The exquisite Queen like bass line. Funky ass rock and roll at it’s rarest.
Sturgill Simpson=musical genius.🎶🎶🎶
"Yo Sturgill, how come this damn virus aint left us alone yet?"
"Mercury must be in Retrograde again."
I feel like if I needed an album playing in the background while I drink a six pack of beer and watch the world’s last few minutes, this would be a pretty good choice.
Imagine, this man was high off his rockers when he wrote this and it has already become a timeless classic everyone can enjoy! What a madlad.
This album is his Dark side of the moon.
Chris Ramirez yeah dude!
it's pretty good (and my favorite project of his up to now), but I know he hasn't reached his peak, i want to see his "wish you were here", "animals" and "the wall"
First thing I thought of while listening to Ronin the first time. Great band! Wow!
Actually, for me, it'd "Metamodern Sounds in Contry Music".
More like "The Wall" in terms of attitude towards fame
This album is pure fire! Gracias Sturgill!
"the Road to hell is paved with cruel intentions/ if its not Nuclear war its gunna be a divine intervention" just slaps as lyrics and someone needed to acknowledge it
Since the album arrived (yes, I still buy cd's), it's been in constant play in the truck, and this is definitely one of my favorite tracks on the album. Anxious to catch Sturgill in concert sometime soon.
Best feel good song I've heard in ages, and on repeat.
God! I can't stop listening to this song!!! It's like crack to my ears....
I heard it once, and now on repeatn
This is my new favorite song!! 💜💜💜💜💜
My sentiments as well.
/agree 👍
Yes
Completely found this by accident. What a fucking jam
I really love this song.
Ya, same.
i had this album on repeat for months on end.... this is my favorite song on the whole album 💯💯💯
How modern country should sound
This has such great lyrics with a almost surreal sound
FINALLY!
BADASS ALBUM COVER TOO
"Sorry boys, the bus is plum full" always gives me a laugh
Many of the great musicians are the ones who do exactly what they want with their music. When they make an album and it’s completely new from the last, when they don’t let people define their genre, nor the record labels put them in a box. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bon Iver ( to just name a few ) and yes, Sturgill. This album is rocking. Can’t wait to listen to it front to back.
When I first heard this album I was skeptical, but after listening to it a few times I am addicted to it. It is everything that I like about his music from the past with a fresh sound. I hope he keeps on doing his thing.
This guy will not be painted into a corner. I was hesitant at first, but this is growing on me fast.
Took me 43 years to find him now it’s all I listen to . Got some boots and a gun started watching yellow stone , I’m all in now .
I Love this Sound!
The outlaws are evolvin’
And that’s quite okay
did you think i wouldnt .
💚 i always will
Listening to this while Mercury is in retrograde today
I caught the Netflix video now Iam addicted
Jesus, this song along with your others are just magic to the sarcastic soul ❤
This guy I swear is the modern embodiment of Waylon. Fantastically talented man.
Best song on the album.
Im still obsessed with this song
Sturg has done it again. Love this album.
It will only be divine. Dont worry be happy. Crank up the love. Way to go Stu.
My favorite song on the album
I love this album. I'm a traditional country fan and loved your early stuff, so I was skeptical. I was wrong, and every time I listen to the album I like it more.
Going through third divorce; Sound & Fury saved my life and I know it sounds crazy; but I have discovered my passion for art again.
hell yeah brother! glad you’re back on your feet again! life’s a bitch but worth it
This Guy's music resonates with your Soul.
I can't even tell you how many times I have listened to this song. And the music video that plays in Sound and Fury when it plays is a beautiful representation. Absolutely love everything about this song. The music. The words. The feel of it. It's perfection
One of my favorite albums. It makes my soul happy.
Great song ! Wow I never heard of this singer till yesterday by coincidence I heard mercury in retrograde on TV and I fell in love with it !
While I'm sad I missed this album for the last 2 years, I've made up for it this past week.
Favorite on the album.
Listening to this in the last day the mercury retrograde of 2021
I love this whole album but this song in particular is my favourite. When mercury was actually in retrograde last year i started a running joke through out my school. Whenever something bad or weird would happen it would get blamed on mercury being in retrograde. I found this song and couldn't believe it I sent it to all my friends immediately.
Just found this randomly and man this is awesome! Reminds me when music use to be good. Glad I found the needle in the haystack on TH-cam
Spread the word brotha! This guy needs to blow up!
@@RedneckWillyC he is pretty damn famous already.
love this song
I just hope brother Sturg understands what this album means to his fans
Best song on the album. Man this album has really grown on me.
Some how I started levitating off my driver seat when I listened to this on the radio
Fooookin fantastic. Love it
This song and album are AMAZING! I've had it on Repeat all day.
Sturgill Simpson amazes me again.... just a cool back round groove... don't need to crank this one up... Worth a listen!
IN LOVE. Thank you, Sturgill. I get you, I get all of you.
Ah all the songs I didnt know this guy made
who else can use "sycophants" and "plum full" within a 10 second stretch?
Whilst still trying to figure out what the fuck rhymes with Bronco.
Mister Guy Joe Biden
@@monkeymoney7830 nice try, sycophant.
Spend'n all my money on weed n pills
Try'n to write a song that'll pay the bills
joe bidden
I love this song! Literally have played it on repeat nonstop all morning
I woke up this morning with this song in my head from the satellite Outlaw Country DJs playing it. I just listened to the album. Best rock album I've heard in a long, long time. Amazing!
