This video was filmed by Todd Fox and edited together by Otis Gibbs.
It was weird my uncle was more of 80s and 90s country. He really liked this song though. I played it one day and he got it stuck in his head
How in the hell have I never heard of this wonderful talent.
Wonderful tune, glad I clicked this.
Respect. That song is deep.
I'm 73 , I thought I was a pretty well versed country music fan,I saw some of this guy's stories & looked him up. It just blew me away He reminds me of the Hag and John Hartford I don't know how the hell I missed out so long
Wow, great lyrics. You really described the human emotion and the ole Great Lake's culture well.
It hurts a little and maybe it’s too soon to say there’s an upside to the pandemic... but... there’s a strong chance I would have never heard of Otis had it not been for Covid. Man I love your stories. I love your personality and the easy way you share your passion for music. There are people fortunate enough to find what they are born to do and you obviously are one of those rare birds. Your music and this song in particular is/are captivating. Thank you for seizing the moment and introducing yourself and your music to a whole new group of fans! Carpe Diem!
Could care if this is 10 years ago otis hasn't changed his style a true folk singer when this world needs good folk music
Frickin otis gibbs is amazing I love all his stories and his music he truly embodies what it means to be a musician who loves what he does
First Time I heard this song I was driving to work one night on 3rd shift and was listening to sirus Xm outlaw country station. This song came on and I was blown away. Had it stuck in my head the rest of the night at work. Such a great song.
Great song, no doubt! Otis is kinda new to me... Seems like every day I run across another one that just blows away
yep you’re the best Otis so glad happened upon your channel 🙌🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼
Wow... this song sure does something to me. I used to live a different life.. i was a different person. But I didn't morph and shed my oldself .. just buried him. From time to time he flickers back.
This song really makes me realize... i have to make peace with him
Why haven't more people seen this fella ?
Livin' proof that talent doesn't always achieve the rewards it deserves.
That happened to me, too, when I saw him on Austin City Limits, afterthe had died.
I immediately liked him and his music.
It was like "love at first sight."
@@candacewilliams9073 What? Otis Gibbs is alive!
Nice to see my friends Sergio and Thomm here. Always great to see them, live or on film.
What a great song! My ears perked up when you said "Lake Michigan". Born and raised in Michigan. Spent many a day on the shores of Lake Michigan. Maybe you'll be by this way some day!
Dude! I've been listening to this song for some months now as Spotify has been feeding it to me. I liked it and hummed along but my neuro-spicy brain has always found it difficult to hear lyrics, so when I was younger I learned to not listen very closely to that part but more the "vibe" of the songs. Discovering country/Americana/folk has been so wonderful because I can understand most ot the lyrics! So, the 20th time I listened to this song, I remembered I could pay attention the words and I discovered a really fascinating and kind of sweetly brutal song. I love it so much more now!
Wow. I'm sure Tony Rice just brought me here. Otis, who ever you are, you are officially on my list of TH-cam tunes.🙌
This is one of those songs you wish was a movie
I've listened to a few of your stories, but this was my first time hearing your music. Really good stuff!
I remember a few years back when Otis Gibbs came to play at a venue I worked at in the Netherlands for an internship of school (Sound and Light engineer) and I loved the music and the stories between the songs. I loved working there and meeting and get to hear alot of artists I wouldn't normally get to know. I'm glad I got to know Otis Gibbs his music.
Hell yeah, I could definitely drank several cold ones and listen to this, and I just mite.
It’s very seldom a new bluegrass type song comes along that I really like. Thank you for sharing this wonderful Performance on TH-cam
Love when I find great, new (to me) music.
I’ve watched a lot of your interview videos, which I love, but this is the first time I’ve heard your music. Excellent! I’m so glad I found your channel. It brings a lot of peace to my day. Take care of yourself.
I never heard of you. I hit upon one of your videos and ended up subscribing. Now I've heard one of your incredible songs. What a talent!
I like this tune. Great lyrics and picking fellas.
This is a great song. I named my 'Darker Side' Vic. He's gotten me jailed, busted up and married more than a few times. As I look back each experience was about the same. 'Vic' would get a glazed look in his eye and 'The Darker Side of Me' showed up uninvited. Listening to your adventures sung to great music shines a light on those forgotten times.
Lived em and loved em, thanks for taking me back there👍
Great song , with a Tom T Hall feel
Otis, I love all you videos of all the great country singers. But, there is no better song than this one. It's became one of my favorites. God Bless!
Sometimes we all need to see the darker side of me😎👍💙🎶
Love ❤️🔥
How am I just hearing this?! OMG! REAL music again! 😁❤ (I married a Gibbs...he's also a musician, can't wait for him to "meet" you!😉)
How did I ever miss hearing this guy? Gladly sending $10 your way Otis
I only heard his name this morning and came to give a listen. Wow!! Instantly added to my favorites!
Heard this song years ago on a shuffle playlist and loved it but lost it. Been listening to alot of your stories recently and then just found this again, small world
What a great song.
2:06 shows the Quayside in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. My hometown. I saw Otis play in July on the free outdoor stage at the Sage Gateshead Americana festival, on the banks of the river. Absolutely pouring down rain, freezing cold and sitting on a muddy hill, but nobody left.
It was a really special gig. Everyone kept edging closer together to keep warm, listening to some of the best music I've heard in years, in, despite the weather, one of the best venues for music in the world.
It was the first time id ever heard Otis Gibbs , and he was a lovely guy when I met him afterwards too. I've not been able to stop listening to him since!
Thanks for the music Otis :)
2021,,Valentine Sunday morning coming down,,good tune and keeping it simple is what will last. stay safe and Free.
Truly great song whose quality is that it could have been written in the 1950s or 1970s, but is right at home in the early 21st century. Thanks for the songs, American folk is better for it.
Can't believe I'm just discovering Otis. I've found his great stories usually cover old musical heroes of mine and his taste and humor seem to run parallel. I enjoyed that great musical scene in the D.C. area during the 70's and could usually be found when any great music was being showcased at the Cellar Door, the Childe Harold, the Birchmere and all the other great music venues around D.C. so I imagine we may have bumped into each other at some time along the way. I have turned on a couple friends who also have become fans and relish his music and stories. Keep up the great stories Otis!
Sometimes I feel like the darker side of me is the one driving through this life, but when I hear this song i can feel that lighter side creeping up inside.
Otis,…. A+++
Thank you for simply being real.
This tune kept appearing on Spotify. I loved it immediately. Hearing your voice was like hearing the voice of old beloved friend that I hadn't heard in a long time. Familiar yet slightly different.
As a sconnie it struck me that you weren't just guessing about our great state. I love this song, and as dark as it is it sure can make me homesick.
I’ve been watching your channel a while.... I apologize for never hearing your music, I’m not apologizing to you. I’m apologizing to my ears! Great music!
Real music for real times. I needed to whine down after a long week at work and a much needed distraction from the insanity of my world so I clicked onto this channel.
Keep up the good work Otis.
Not sure how I made it to 42 years old without hearing your music before, but I'm glad I found you now.
I love your interviews and now I know your music and love it. Your voice reminds me of Glen Campbell on Wichita Lineman. Jesus man you are great.
Just Started Listening to your Stories. Decided To listen to your music. Awesome! I am an instant fan!
Just heard your song dark side of me, for the first time. " Love it".....
Wonderful..Thank U Ottis
You know you’ve just experienced a great song when at the end you pop back into the here and now and realize that you’ve been somewhere else for the past five-odd minutes.
Otis is a geordie!!! Loved the concert in gosforth, newcastle upon tyne..howway the lads!
I wish I could’ve heard Johnny Cash sing this one. Happy enough with your version though.
Love your music and your podcasts. There's nothing better than good real story telling music.
Really good and I'm just finding Otis Gibbs and in this video I can see that he has been very close to me and used the Ironbridge in his video nice one Otis 👍👏👏👏👏👏
This song is quite amazing. Love me some Otis.
Love this Otis Gibbs Standard ❤
'If we meet inside a boxcar may you never see the darker side of me'. What a tagline! Great storytelling, Otis. Just enough detail to move the story along and let the listener's imagination fill in the rest. Outstanding!
Damn Otis, you've grown on me like kudzu vine. First, I found you on TH-cam telling great stories and my interest was peaked. Now I'm hooked on your music. Keep up the great work and I hope that one day our paths cross.
Think I need to listen to that song again. Again.
A really brilliant masterpiece song. It clearly breathes the heart and the spirit of Elvis 1969, with Reggie Young on guitar.
You gotta Tom T Hall-esque style of lyrickin’, Otis! I love it!
That was an amazing work of Art why cant i write like ThaT ,love it like pure genius
Great 👏👏👏👏💜💜💜 gives me a warm feeling in these cold times .
Great tune. My first time hearing him
Great song😍
Another timeless song from Otis Gibbs.
The first time I heard this song was when Otis was opening for Todd Snyder in Grand Rapids, Mi. I loved it and I have listened to it many times since then
Great track Otis! Also it's always cool to Mark Fain out in the wild, I've played a lot of music with that man.
I love the stories in this guy's songs.
One of my all time favourite songs. Thanks Otis
Ok , Mr. Gibbs you got the stuff they call the right stuff.Tell on , story teller.

Your music is a gift that keeps giving. Thank you🎼
This reminds me of a job I quit on the spot. Trust me, I got paid including vacation time I had accrued, he never saw it coming from quiet, little old me 🥸 I’m now self-employed 🙂
Great tune sir.
this is a great song! i put this song on my "blues dogg music" channel on the" bluegrass playlist" and another on my" acoustic blues"playlist...thanks otis!
Fuck. Every now and then somebody seeps up through the cracks with a real country song. This is it. Man, I've got days and days of listening to catch up on this dude.
I just started listing to his singing tonight been listen to his stories for sometime but never heard him sing he has a great voice and it will take me awhile to catch up.
Been listening to Otis for only a short while. Great music and great storytelling too! Fact.
Great Tune, Otis!🎶👍🎵🎶👍🎵
Okay, I really *like* this, a lot. I've been watching your interview and story videos; this is the first time the algorithm recommended your music. I'll be catching up on what's here, and likely buying some albums. Great stuff!
Good job Otis!
Love your interviews so much and now THIS. MERCY, Otis.

Sweet. God bless America.
This storyline hits home! Very well written!
Hey Otis, I remember when I first saw a video of yours, you mentioned unabashedly how not alot of folks listen to your music. Well, to the ones who do, it really means something. Your songs always make me right. keep on keeping on.
