“So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feel small they’ll remember the wrath of my storm” one of the best lyrical lines ever. So evocative. Can really get a sense of the pain and vengeance. Bravo!!!
John came home from war this morning He found his wife, she wasn't there And a cold cold feeling crept through his bones When he found a note at the bottom of the stairs Said, "I'm in love with your brother, oh I've found a preacher And I'm in love and I'm heading for the South Boy you were fine, but I've changed my mind I'm boarding the next train out of town" John flew into a rage like thunder He brought his fist down and he cracked the floor He thought he broke bone The way he screamed and he roared And he headed right back out the door Said, "I'm going to find my brother God damn this preacher, I'm going to put him underneath a stone So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feel small They'll remember the wrath of my storm" John crashed in with his pistol crying In the morning just before the dawn He took out his knife And he carved out the light Of a future in the eyes of the Lord Strung him up high Silhouetted in the sky Let the ravens pick him to the bone When the law man came by He turned down his eyes Not to gaze upon the brother of John The station platform was empty and quiet As she waited for a man who'd never show When the noon day sun was high and cracking the ground She felt a lump rise in her throat John swept from behind Put a gun on her side Said, "Baby you were why I came home I won't take your life But I want to look into your eyes When you see I killed the man that you love"
This is one of those songs I can just close my eyes and it takes me places. The story telling in a way that pops. Just vivid and sharp, it is very good. Once I heard the instruments I was drawn in. The story and the journey are one with the flow of the music. Can't wait to hear more. Thank you.
Already put together the movie idea or TV mini series 😂 starts off with John and his brother as kids on the small family farm. We watch the bond between brothers grow as they get older until John goes off to war 🤣
"He thought he broke bone, the way he screamed and he roared And he headed right back out the door." I can't help but think that line was inspired by Ian Noe's lyric from "Methhead" which goes: "And you'd thought he'd struck gold, the way he kick and he rolled. And like a bandit he tore out of town"
I've probably listened to this 50 times already,I listened to all his other songs and I got to hear this less than an hour after it dropped and I've never liked any musician quite this much. much love and respect for this man. What an amazing story teller.
Slowing the song down to 80% gives it this extra layer of haunting, cold vengeance and lets each line of the lyrics really sink in before moving onto the next verse. Definitely recommend giving it a listen.
Had a similar experience when I got home from overseas. Good now, great new woman and family. But Ill be darned if this doesn't capture the pain/rage mix almost perfectly.
The lyrical ability and emotion in this are astonishing, and then there's that sweet banjo under the lot. I can't justify springing to ship CDs to the UK and won't use Apple/services where I'm product, but if you ever get a bandcamp page I'd be there like a shot. Damn this is good.
Me and my mom really love your music. But this song is one of our favorites. You have such a unique voice, and it always sends chills down our skin. Please never stop making music!
That last line in the first verse is absolutly raw and it makes me feel like I have the wrath of God behind me for whatever I do. Lifting with this song is a must!
Here from iFunny Man....this vibe you deliver in this songs been a mood I've been stuck in for a while but goddamn just HEARING how I've been feeling fucked with me man KEEP IT UP!!!!
I love this song. You've become my favorite artist in such a short time. I found your TikTok then I moved to Spotify to listen to your music. I get through work solely based on your music.
Very good sound! First time TikTok brought something good to my attention! Charlie Boy and John Came Home are two masterpieces. You got a bright future ahead of you friend!
Holy shit Benji, this some serious gourmet shit! Your voice is celestial my guy, so beautiful and elegant whilst still capable of emitting the powerful emotions the lyrics conjure
Man, listening to this after having first discovered it on TikTok as a 3 part series and now the whole song, just gives me absolute chills. It's soooo good!
This is way beyond my expectations. I looked for it religiously for a while, but it just now popped into my head and I'm so glad I've heard this now. Grade A storytelling with soul and emotion.
I have been in a music slump lately nothing exciting…. Came across your music and man… wonderful… great voice and awesome instrument tones… haunting lyrics … I’m in man good stuff hope you find the success you deserve!!!
“So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feel small they’ll remember the wrath of my storm” one of the best lyrical lines ever. So evocative. Can really get a sense of the pain and vengeance. Bravo!!!
Also, I need to hear you live! When will you be touring?
I completely agree with you
Once I heard those lines, I knew this was gonna be on repeat for me
Brilliant line But what does it mean
@@user75492 it means years from now when the oak trees have grown very tall they will still remember what he did
I am from England and songs like these make me appreciate how we miss so many great ones because they do not get shown or advertised
"He took out his knife and carved out the life and future he had with the Lord"
Been hoping and waiting for you to release ever since I saw the tiktok this absolute fire my guy I love it a fucking mazing I tip my hat to you sir.
Thank you so much man I appreciate your patience and support! 🙏
Dude. Never commented on a TH-cam video before. But this one deserves it. Absolutely fantastic work my guy 10/10.
Thanks brother appreciate it!
This is the day, y'all.
Honored to be here so early. What an amazing story it really creates a dark feeling. Waited for this one a while!
John came home from war this morning
He found his wife, she wasn't there
And a cold cold feeling crept through his bones
When he found a note at the bottom of the stairs
Said, "I'm in love with your brother, oh I've found a preacher
And I'm in love and I'm heading for the South
Boy you were fine, but I've changed my mind
I'm boarding the next train out of town"
John flew into a rage like thunder
He brought his fist down and he cracked the floor
He thought he broke bone
The way he screamed and he roared
And he headed right back out the door
Said, "I'm going to find my brother
God damn this preacher, I'm going to put him underneath a stone
So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feel small
They'll remember the wrath of my storm"
John crashed in with his pistol crying
In the morning just before the dawn
He took out his knife
And he carved out the light
Of a future in the eyes of the Lord
Strung him up high
Silhouetted in the sky
Let the ravens pick him to the bone
When the law man came by
He turned down his eyes
Not to gaze upon the brother of John
The station platform was empty and quiet
As she waited for a man who'd never show
When the noon day sun was high and cracking the ground
She felt a lump rise in her throat
John swept from behind
Put a gun on her side
Said, "Baby you were why I came home
I won't take your life
But I want to look into your eyes
When you see I killed the man that you love"
Thank you! I wanted to see how the lyrics changed from the original!
Bless you for this thanks eh
@@cravey8450 original?
Man this is a true dark country song
This is one of those songs I can just close my eyes and it takes me places. The story telling in a way that pops. Just vivid and sharp, it is very good. Once I heard the instruments I was drawn in. The story and the journey are one with the flow of the music. Can't wait to hear more. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words I truly appreciate it!
Already put together the movie idea or TV mini series 😂 starts off with John and his brother as kids on the small family farm. We watch the bond between brothers grow as they get older until John goes off to war 🤣
Your story telling skills rival those of Marty Robbins and Johnny cash. Truly amazing
My god I’ve never been this excited for a song to release ever lmfao I feel like a little kid
Dude, this really sends me to 1865, riding a horse through endless fields to get home, damn good job
"He thought he broke bone, the way he screamed and he roared
And he headed right back out the door."
I can't help but think that line was inspired by Ian Noe's lyric from "Methhead" which goes:
"And you'd thought he'd struck gold, the way he kick and he rolled.
And like a bandit he tore out of town"
Absolute chills at the last verse! Awesome storytelling
Thank you!
John came home for war this morning
I've probably listened to this 50 times already,I listened to all his other songs and I got to hear this less than an hour after it dropped and I've never liked any musician quite this much. much love and respect for this man. What an amazing story teller.
Thanks so much brother! Thoes streams really help!
I don’t know what’s better how impactful the instrumental is or the lyrics
Slowing the song down to 80% gives it this extra layer of haunting, cold vengeance and lets each line of the lyrics really sink in before moving onto the next verse. Definitely recommend giving it a listen.
Dally boy showed me this song🤟🏼🔥
Had a similar experience when I got home from overseas. Good now, great new woman and family. But Ill be darned if this doesn't capture the pain/rage mix almost perfectly.
White buffalo vibes!
Been looking forward to this song for a few weeks, and it really didn’t disappoint. Glad it’s finally out, it’s a great song.

Thanks man never been this early to a release love the song
At first I thought this was a Chris Stapleton song… But your voice instantly changed my mind on that.
I'm just commenting so this song gets more attention it's great
The lyrical ability and emotion in this are astonishing, and then there's that sweet banjo under the lot. I can't justify springing to ship CDs to the UK and won't use Apple/services where I'm product, but if you ever get a bandcamp page I'd be there like a shot. Damn this is good.
All I can say, is, HOLY SHIT!
