I save music Im afraid might get lost here from time to time. If you own any music I post and would like it taken down, let me know and ill do that asap :)
I'm 43, and I think that this song is the first one I've replayed several times before even finishing it... but I've been in a bad way lately... Thank you for posting this - from the bottom of my cold, deep, dark heart!!! 🙏💚🖤💚🙏
[Verse 1] Go on with that old cripple crow On that west wind, out past the shore Honey, make your pack light These old crippled wings, ain't working quite right [Verse 2] As much as I'm here, I'm just as much gone I'm just as much gone Stay and board your windows Just what's a coming, no one quite knows If you work in the fields don't be coming inside Just follow the gust, the cripple crow flies [Verse 3] As you now are here, we'll all soon be gone Oh we'll all soon be gone If you're dying Go and hide yourself No don't put your ashes, on my shelf No, my intentions won't make you well Best be thinking about where you're gonna dwell [Interlude] If I see you leave, I'm coming along I'll be coming along [Verse 4] Now Go on with that old cripple crow To wherever good intentions go Like the river, that meant to flow Stood still, or at most went slow [Interlude] As good as I'm here, I'll be better gone I better be gone [Verse 5] Well, bells I can't hear your ring You haunt my vision, with your swing I burnt every bridge that brought me this far And follow the future, laid by past fires [Interlude] As much I'm here, I'm just as much gone Oh I'm just as much gone [Outro] So Go on with that old crippled crow On that west wind, out past the shore
Video was amazing kept my ruined attention span throughout and showed you're not all that but you are all that and I had to go listen to Ridout after this ofc
It's crazy how this man's music and voice has got me through some of my darkest and drunkest nights I thought would never end. I just hope Nicholas knows how much his music is still keeping me here and grounded on reality that I try and hide from. I only wish I could've met him but my our paths cross in the next life we live. Thanks for having this uploaded. I would be crushed knowing his voice would be lost wish I could have physical copies of all the music and art he did..
This reminds me of music I'd hear far away from any major cities on AM radio. This isn't fuzzy with static like those were, to the point I couldn't hardly tell what was being sang. But damn, that sound is eerily familiar.
he had family that loved him in washington state---i seen him at seattles pike place market months before he passed in nashville ---bought the spit shine cd from him--the one with the hobo boot
Music this raw and deep like Nicholas and ben as well ,cut so deep in my soul I can’t help but cry my eyes out to most all of their songs because I feel it deep within but it helps in ways I can’t put into words I feel a connection rooted deep in this journey of live we are on.I hope anyone who stumbles upon this knows ,you’re not alone feeling the way you do.
❤️ Just recently heard of Nicholas. You can feel the sadness in his songs. Beautiful voice and an amazing singer/ song writer. My condolences go out to his wife who also has a beautiful voice and is amazing as well. I'm so glad I found your music.
Hey everyone, Nicholas' wife Shannon Jae Ridout (whose music is also amazing), a few people from reddit, and myself are looking for a lost album Nicholas Ridout made called "Gone and Lost My Heart". We've been looking for a long time and haven't had any luck. It's a bit of a long shot, but if you have the album or maybe know someone who does, it would be greatly appreciated if you could help us out. Thank you :)
Nicholas' wife Shannon (who also makes incredible music), a few people from reddit, and myself are all looking for a lost Nicholas Ridout album called "Gone and Lost My Heart". It may be a long shot, but if any of you folks happen to have this album or may know where we could find this album, it would be greatly appreciated! Leave a comment to get in touch with me. Also, in case anyone didnt read the description, go buy his other music here: nicholasridout.bandcamp.com thanks :)
