    His lyrics kept me company when I was strung out and alone, homeless, hopping trains and burning bridges trying to walk on water. Now years into sobriety they continue to keep me. He’ll never know the people he keeps.

    I originally came to Gems for Lost Dog but Anthony just has this weird radar for insanely talented artists you've never heard of.

    I swear this song was made for this moment in my life! It makes me miss the the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known! We may not be best for each other but I love her and miss her so much! I still feel her 1,500 miles across the county! Toxic but the good times were worth it! Zs

    I would like to say, more channels could learn from GEMS. I love the fact they add a brief (loosely used sometimes) description. To let you know what's going on with the artist and giving a little bit of backstory. It adds major depth to the already beautifully shot and edited videos, even your location scouting is amazing. I feel like the people on the other side of the camera don't get enough praise on this channel. You guys truly are artists.

    • @GemsOnVHS
      @GemsOnVHS  5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      hey thanks for the kind words. we don't really location scout, i think thats why its so good lol. cus its just wherever we happen to be. people put too much work into making it into some kind of music video.. just let the song speak for itself! i try to write a bit too.. maybe we will put out a book one day haha

    Your worn beating path pushing counterfeits
    Whisky stained sheets lined the beds
    Spark fluorescent lights the true cancer of night
    Holding clarity like a gun to your head
    God damn you, you outta heed what I said
    Cause honey were the kids that god forgot
    Dead branches swept out in the wake
    And our torn velvet sky may leave us both blind
    If we look towards the hope it displays
    I’ve heard the call of the great after all
    Though I shivered and steady drawn sights
    And the breaths that I took well they leave us both shook
    I know your hearts as crooked as mine
    God damn you, there ain’t a woman as fine
    And believe me love, oh its almost good enough
    Too hide in the scars that tatter your arms
    they shine like the trophies they are
    all stars fade
    cloaks fall from pain
    and to love is to hate.
    So, count every footprint that leads back to me
    Baby trace the jigsaw of our time
    And the cold that we felt is an ice cube in hell
    To the warmth when our pieces align
    I know I fuck up like breathing seems each days a reason
    To burn every bridge that I patch
    Gimme one last leap of faith I swear ill turn our page
    Fold dog ears and swallow the match
    God damn you, I’m gunna eat what I catch
    And I don’t know, honey what I don’t know
    But you’re not the scars that tatter your arms
    That shine like the trophies they are
    All stars fade
    Cloaks fall from pain
    And to love is to hate
    Oh, to love is to hate
    And all meaning I find
    Is deaf dumb and blind
    But not you.

We met as broken pieces who fought like hell to make ourselves whole. She has lifted me up as much as I have for her. This song speaks in a much different way than Hayden had referred to, but I'll be god-damned if he doesn't make music that speaks to the soul.

      I think he is saying... Fold dog years and swollow the match.... And at the end... What's deaf, dumb and blind.?... Not YOU... Either way... What a song.!!.

      Your worn, beaten paths pushing counterfeits, where whiskey stained sheets line the beds
      Spark fluorescent lights, the true cancer of night, holding clarity like a gun to your head
      And god damn you, you ought to heed what I’ve said
      ‘Cause honey we’re the kids that god forgot, dead branches swept out in the wake
      Our torn velvet sky may leave us both blind if we look towards the hope it displays
      I’ve heard the call of the great after all, oh I’ve shivered in steady drawn sights
      And the breaths that I took, well they’d leave us both shook
      I know your heart’s as crooked as mine
      God damn you, there ain’t a woman as fine
      Believe me love it’s almost good enough
      To hide in the scars that tatter your arms and shine like the trophies they are
      But all stars fade, cloaks fall from pain, and to love is to hate
      So count every footprint that leads back to me, baby trace the jigsaw of our time
      And the cold that we’ve felt is an ice cube in hell to the warmth when our pieces align
      I know I fuck up like breathing, seems each day’s a reason to burn every bridge that I’ve patched
      Give me one last leap of faith, I swear I’ll turn our page, fold dog ears and swallow the match
      God damn you, I’m gonna eat what I catch
      I don’t know, honey what I don’t know
      But you’re not the scars that tatter your arms and shine like the trophies they are
      All stars fade, cloaks fall from pain, and to love is to hate, oh to Love is to hate
      And all meaning I find is deaf, dumb and blind
      But not you
