He's talking about D.M.T. Many people report similar experiences on D.M.T. The thing about reptile aliens made of light, references this... Also, the chemical in D.M.T occurs naturally in our brain. Hence "How can they make illegal" Turtles all the way down references infinite regress. Imagine that the world rides on the back of a turtle. But what does the turtle rest upon? The answer is another turtle...and another turtle, and yet another turtle... all the way down the line. I think what he's saying here is that these psych drugs can pull the veil back on the world, leading to a person attempting to understand the universe, which in the end is limitless and unfathomable. In the end the pursuit of knowledge is unsatisfying and fruitless.. The drugs, religion, etc. taught him that love was what mattered.
DMT, psilocybin and more are used in treatment of addiction, depression and PTSD. (Small doses with theraphy). So it might make you go "sane", done right. Not done right it might make things worse.
Jack Cerro yeah, he really misses the most important line in understanding it about cannabis, psilocybin, and dmt. The whole idea of a government making illegal something that we all make in our minds... none of this is a bad or negative experience that Sturgill is reacting to. He describes it in an interview with 'comedian' Sarah Silverman. Not sure if he's blinded by an anti'drug' bias but he misses this one in describing it.
Jeremy I'm pretty sure he's just never experienced the positive effects of those things. Not necessarily anti-drug ( I hope anyway)......like a person that has never even smoked a joint watching Fear and Loathing for the first time
Love Sturgill Simpson his wrist reminds me of my all time favorite songwriter Kris Kristofferson. They both use to English language very well and definitely know how to craft a song.
“How do you make illegal some that we all make in our brains!” Talking about Dope, weed, marijuana. We naturally create dopamine, chemical that makes us “happy”.
This song (and really the whole album) is all about exploring different ways of thinking. He weighs theology, from Christianity to Buddhism to the belief that our planets are rotating on the backs of turtles, to expanding the mind through drugs and getting a glimpse at what lies beyond. "A Sailor's Guide to Earth" expands on some of these ideas, but that album is a concept album in that it's a letter to his newborn son, and he's telling him what he's learned through his experiences and trying to impart some wisdom on the kid. "Stay Between the Lines" would be a great one to review, and "Brace for Impact."
Once again great. Have to request the underground legend Townes Van Zandt. Steve Earle said he felt Townes was a better song writer than Bob Dylan for him. He never broke because he was too wild to make it but crazy enough to be a legend. Songs of his have been covered by the Stones like ‘Dead Flowers’ Emile Lou Harris and Willie Nelson covered songs of his as well like ‘Pancho and Lefty’
Love Sturgill. His last album Sound & Fury blew me away. His band is hot shit and I unfortunately missed the chance to see him as well, due to COVID. I will definitely see him next time in Toronto ( whenever that is )
Watch his npr desk show, he says he had a friend in Mufreesboro ask him if he has ever tried dmt. It's a unique psychedelic that has a large overlap of experience.
Absolutely great reaction! Turtles are a Native American creation belief, maybe he added the drug part, but it's great mixed in with a modern approach. It's a 10.0! Made you and I think....how many songs make us do that? .... Not too many!
The lyrics you couldnt make out were " everytime i take a look inside that old and fabled book, im blinded and reminded of the pain caused by some old man in the sky".
You have got to listen to more Sturgill.. Living the dream, It ain't all flowers, Voices, Pan Bowl, Oh Sarah, The storm, Life ain't fair and the live brewery session of You can have the crown/ Some days.
If you havnt already you really need to react to his song "Call To Arms". Preferably the live version at Saturday Night Live. It's a song where he exposes the military industrial complex. Sturgill is a very deep and complex guy
Different, talented, independent....might be a recipe for success but it's also the very attitude big corporate music doesn't want. They want control, not a Sturgil or Zappa or RUSH or Boston or Yes or Steely Dan.....those who prefer to remain outside the box, though the media and big corporate music make it even more difficult for them to stay on top of their game.
I think he's just referring to whether you search out spiritual ality on your own or through psychedelic substances or other routes you can't find answers. So just concentrate on loving one another and being the best person you can be.
Met the devil in Seattle spent 9 months inside the lions den is a direct reference to sturgill being hooked on heroin. You should check out his appearances on joe rogans podcast jre
Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea that he had been into heroin. People who have been to the bottom can reach a different place when they write and perform, and Sturgill's living proof of that.
Don’t look too much into him, he’s a CIA assassin according to his old friend Wheeler Walker Jr. I wouldn’t want to do much digging because I wouldn’t want to cross Sturgill.

react to Sturgill playing live on SNL, “call to arms”. He blows the place up!
John Noel one of the best tv musical performances I’ve ever seen

Good work, Jack--I like the way you think.
Thank you. (Also, it's a popular YA book. )

20 seconds into the song and I can already tell I'm going to love it.
Love Sturgill Simpson his wrist reminds me of my all time favorite songwriter Kris Kristofferson. They both use to English language very well and definitely know how to craft a song.
Solid analysis. "Craft" is a perfect word to describe what they do.
Hes saying DMT changed his perception of life and now he is full of love.. which has truly helped him
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - If We Were Vampires. One of the best songs ever written.
Here ya go: th-cam.com/video/I8Tjt-Xia5w/w-d-xo.html
I like Alabama Pines the most by Isbell. Wish he would do his song from A Star Is Born.
Jesse Starke Morgan wallen cover of Isbell “cover me up” is solid
@@smalltownfire nope.
Jason Isbell "Cover Me Up"
On the list now--thanks for the request!
Check out "you can have the crown" by sturgill. It's a great song
The Fog Hat version.

Call To Arms....good ole anti-war anthem from Mr. Simpson......

@B Belt Thanks for the clarification, and welcome aboard the channel!!
Qqq
Cody Jinks - David
Not many people have heard of it by I think it’s one of his best. A real tear jerker.
Thanks for the request--it's on the list!
My favorite Cody Jinks song by far.
This is one of his best.
Grammy award winner best country album! Sturgill, Tyler Childers, Cody Jinks, are the best singers out there, true country.
Best song of the 2010's
Sturgill, You can have the crown!
Reminds me of Beatles type song writing. I'm hooked on this artist's work over the years
Check out his song You can have the crown. Great tune.
this song hit me like the holy ghost
You have got to listen to more Sturgill.. Living the dream, It ain't all flowers, Voices, Pan Bowl, Oh Sarah, The storm, Life ain't fair and the live brewery session of You can have the crown/ Some days.

Sturgill is a very deep and complex guy
If you want to know how ballsy this guy is he sang this song at the Grand Ole Opry lol
Man I’d of love to have seen him at the stone pony
@Nicholas Pietrzak You a Jersey guy?

“ Some say you might go crazy, then again it might make you go sane “
It's both brother. It's about opening your 3rd eye. Searching for truth and psychocosmonauting along the journey.
It's impossible for someone to review a song like this that doesn't understand this concept
I enjoyed that unusual song - like your rating too xx
Thank you, C-MacMac!! ;-)
He’s in the CIA...I’m dead serious
Ok, Wheeler Walker Jr.
Love to hear your reaction to Kris Kristofferson's "The Pilgram chapter 33" or "To Beat the Devil"
On the list now, Wendel. Thanks for the rec. :-)
hypeman here on to facebook
Please do whiskey Myers "The Reckoning"
Don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes of blood and wine.
I think he's just referring to whether you search out spiritual ality on your own or through psychedelic substances or other routes you can't find answers. So just concentrate on loving one another and being the best person you can be.
It's a song about a trip on DMT
Oh man, I love Sturgill! He is amazing live, you missed out. Listen to him sing Water in a Well
Take a heroic dose of shrooms and listen again.
Met the devil in Seattle spent 9 months inside the lions den is a direct reference to sturgill being hooked on heroin. You should check out his appearances on joe rogans podcast jre
Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea that he had been into heroin. People who have been to the bottom can reach a different place when they write and perform, and Sturgill's living proof of that.
RockN2Country he was not on heroin lol he never said that on Rogan
Don’t look too much into him, he’s a CIA assassin according to his old friend Wheeler Walker Jr. I wouldn’t want to do much digging because I wouldn’t want to cross Sturgill.
@@etb10 hahah!
Check him out on Joe Rogan. between him on there and shooter I’m not sure who gets deeper in thoughts both are some serious thinkers
He’s talking about how psychedelic drugs helped him learn to love. That’s what they do. His ego died. Cut you open pull out all your pain...
I know this is really late. The song is both about drugs and metaphysical. “Turtles all the way down” is a référence to the infinite unknowing.
Yellow Stone!
To sum the song up, you are God, there's only God and you're pretending you're not.
IT'S ALL ABOUT DRUGS.
DMT....
Got the meaning completely wrong
