- It's time to finally unveil the winner of the Gems in the Rough Contest! Well, I suppose we already did that a couple months ago, but it's time to finally unveil this awesome recording we made with them in the office in Nashville. Tyler made two trips down to our neck of the woods, one to make this video with his buddy Collie Crawford on mandolin. The other trip was to play the Gems secret show with Nick Hans and Todd Day Wait. Both were pretty awesome experiences for me, and I hope for him.
I'd not heard of Tyler before the contest, and him being as young as he is that doesn't surprise me. He is just getting started with his music, from the ground up playing bars with his band The Hill Figs. Lots of personality though, and some songwriting chops a good deal beyond his years. Though I'm not into making comparisons, in this instance I simply must point out how much his music reminded me of some of my favorite writers, like Adam Carroll and Chris Knight. He has a sense of humor all his own, dry and sharp. His favorite sad movie is Joe Dirt. I like the possum on his guitar strap. This won't be the last you hear of Tyler, from me or otherwise.
The 2nd contest was another big learning experience. I went through 800 submissions all by myself and it was quite the task, but the friends I've made along the way, the new artists we have all discovered, made it all worthwhile. Love y'all and looking forward to the next year.

Huge thank you to Anthony, the folks at GemsOnVHS, and everyone who listened to my songs much love to you all
Fookin loved it man!! Found myself playing along after the first verse, not enough thinly veiled might be 'murder ballads' with beatiful melodies if you ask me and its a nice juxtaposition!!😉Some really good writing here bud, hope to hear a bit more..you got your own YT?
Thanks for the music man I look forward to exploring more after hearing this heat.

Fantastic song from a fantastic artist, can't wait to see more from Tyler. He definitely shone in his submission for Gems in the Rough.
Beautifully sung and played, lads. Funny, sad, deep, real. Mad to see such great art being created. Well done. Stoked for you.
Well, can tell why he won. Great voice and playing.
Another gem has been pulled out from the rough for the world to see. We're thrilled to be bringing Tyler's immense talent to the light for a wide audience to enjoy.

This guy rules
Very Good Song bro...keep it up! I Wish you 👍success with your music work!!!
This is great
Very good.
Why didn't you record the mandolin? Bet it sounded good
We did, if you listen with headphones you can hear it better. Unfortunately the microphone on him was giving me issues with echoing Tyler's vocals. Couldn't fix it so I nixed it, and its only being picked up by Tyler's mic. It's always an experiment, doing field recordings, and some sacrifices are made. I'm always adapting and evolving the mic situation with my limited knowledge and equipment ($$$).
@@GemsOnVHS sounds good. Love your videos they always sound good 👍 happy subscriber here 🙌💯
Where is this man from? I’m a southern Indiana boy and I see the Hoosiers hat so I’m curious.
Im from Harrison County
@@tylerhood1331 you’re the man, love your music
Great song, i thought at first he was saying i cant keep wasting my time and long hair with you, which also works. LOL take care
Like the straight forward lyrics combined with that classic I-IV-V-I chord pattern!
Chords and lyrics below and on UG as always folks
Standard tuning, no Capo. Some standard hammer-ons and pull-offs happening here, shout if you can't get them yourself
Verses G / G G7 / C G / D C G
Chorus C G / C G D D7 / G C / G D G
Interlude G / G G7 / C G / D C G
Chorus 2 C / G / C / G D D7
[Verse 1]
And that ring on your finger, it tears you apart
And you tell me each day how I'm breaking your heart
And I know I'll never be anywhere, it's true
And I can't keep wasting my time alone here with you
[Verse 2]
And that ring on your finger is like lies on a tongue
And the sunset don't look like it did when you were young
And the smell of the morning makes you think "Lord, what did I do?"
And I can't keep wasting my time alone here with you
[Chorus]
Why don't you pack up and hit the road, never come home?
Oh I would but the house is paid off and I'm too damn broke for a loan
If you would quit talking me down we maybe could work something out
Till then I'll be down in the basement, I'm tired of you
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
And that ring on your finger was a year of my life
Chopping up firewood to make you my wife
And your friend said I was cheating, but I was broke, that's all I could do
And I can't keep wasting my time alone here with you
[Chorus]
I got my hand on a shovel and a yard perfect green
I'm headed to town for a bag of grass seed
If you don't quit your bitching before I get back from town
I'll put all our problems deep under the ground
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Now that ring on your finger, it's covered in dirt
And the sun's coming up, I gotta get back to work
And gonna sleep in my bed for the first time since I said I'd do
And I'll live out the rest of my life alone here with you
I can’t find it on UG, what do I type in the search?
solid
Sounds like my life a year ago 💕 glad that’s sh-its over
Strangely enough as a subscriber I wasn’t even aware of a 2021 contest!! TH-cam has failed us
you follow us on instagram, or facebook, or the newsletter? @gemsonvhs on ig and fb, www.gemsonvhs.com you can find out mailing list. cheers bud
Great song, nice performance. I wish the mandolin was more audible.
Love this shit
I bet one of the dislikes is the girl this song is about.
😅
She dead
Tyler Hood come to Wilmington Ohio
This makes me want to be like billy with the strings
Where is Bob Dylan? Here he is?
Why are all good new indie country guys named tyler?
"Got my hand on a shovel..." - Sounds like one of those "Midsomer Murders!!!" Englishmen don't need guns, they have "50 Ways To Kill A Lover!!!"🤓
I would have been out of jail by now
Chords anyone?
Jesus this one hurts like hell!
