Reading the comments and realizing he’s passed is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time, knowing someone’s left something for others to find long after their gone, but never really gone This is amazing, only discovered this 3 weeks ago and blown away at how well it seems to be hidden
Woah. I literally learned about this band right here and listened to this song a bunch and today looked at your comment after deciding to check out their other music. Just wow man. Gone like that, God save us.
Why couldn't I have found you before you were taken from us.......love and respect for you and yours, your were and always will be an amazing musician in my eyes
The best part of this video is the dissonance from the band in the other room. It gives this ethereal afterworld effect. Accidental awesomeness in recording!
We stacked dozens of hay bales in front of the entrance to the armory hoping to baffle the sound coming from the Quad Stage a little bit. Might've been Deer Tick or McCauley solo? Austin Williams might be right, could've been The Growlers. Long enough ago that we can't recall the specifics of the day. But it was magic then, and we're stoked that some of the magic was captured on video too. Glad you're here Rob!
I was living in Minneapolis in 2013, when on a very cold January day I browsed upcoming shows at a local music venue. I saw a poster of a band I never heard of. But a big bushy beard, piercing eyes and a violin were suggesting something special. That Sunday night I saw two people produce extraordinary music, with an emotional pull that is here to stay.
I found them about 1 year after his death, didn't know he had passed at the time. I turned my dad on to their music and he was the one that ended up informing me that David lamb had passed. I feel like everyone could have benefited from more music from this great duo.
I work my fingers to the bone Not a pretty little penny have I got to show I ain’t looking for much Just a little bit of rest by the side of the road I lift my voice to the forces above The Lords of labor and the Goddess of love Ain’t I been a good, hard working Faithful servant and son Then the sky turns black And it cracks with a thundering voice Work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out 'Til your final breath falls to the floor So swing down that sledgehammer through the wood A little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good Get up off the ground You can lay down when the day is done And on the seventh day You can lay in the morning sun I want to make my home on a mountain high Just me and my lover and the big old sky I ain’t asking for much Just a little bit of rest before the day that I die I lift my voice to the forces above The Lords of labor and the Goddess of love Ain’t i been a good, hard working Faithful servant and son Then the sky turns black And it cracks with a thundering voice Work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out 'Til your final breath falls to the floor So swing down that sledgehammer through the wood A little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good Get up off the ground You can lay down when the day is done And on the seventh day You can lay in the morning sun
This is the theme song to blue collar hardworking people. No song can capture how it feels to actually have to work hard with your hands and what we put our body's through on a daily basis to try and live a decent life but Dave captures it. This isn't a song for all the office workers out there,this is a song for the men swinging hammers, bending steel, and physically putting ourselves through hell for your little slice of life.R.I.P Dave Lamb, you were a musical god amongst men and you will forever be missed.
I read ytour comment, then i search on wikipedia, then i find David Lamb is ACTUALLY DEAD, thinking about an hoiax... I feel bad to understand that he never sing again...... :( :( :( RIP david lamb.....
The other band in the background is like ghostly voices of workers long gone. All it needed was the ring of a sledgehammer. It was probably distracting for them while playing, but it's eerily beautiful to listen to it now.
beautiful people. . I have been tattooing 20 odd years and never wanted my fingers tattooed. but as a tribute to Dave i would love to get (come home) on my fingers. such a beautiful sentiment. always makes me tear up. the only tattoo i would want showing in a suit.
There exists a Human Rights Watch report on Child Labor titled "Finger to the Bone" that was written in 2000, and now that your appropriative song leads the Google searches, it is very hard to find. Thank you for appropriating the term, and slowing down the efforts to end child labor.
Hahahaha your Karen ass came all the way too youtube too complain to the manager... also to a man who's unfortunately no longer with us. Nice. "Fingers to the bone" is a common phrase and not unique to said organization you cant find on the internet... damn simpleton.
