@@karamassil8264 same man! lost my job, my home and had to leave the country I lived in due to Covid. But started making my own music which never would've happened if it wasn't for this virus. Also, Buckethead quickly became one of my biggest inspirations and really pushes my boundaries. I'm obsessed with him :)
you people who like this song. I firmly believe that you are all good souls and if we had the chance, we could throw a Buckethead party - a long weekend of enjoying his songs
Wow thats really touching. The power of music...What it can do to someone. How feelings of anger & hate can vanish in the matter of seconds. How it serves as a universal language that everyone understands & can relate to. In music there is no discrimination against gender/ethnicity/disability. No one cares if someone is blind,only has a arm or if this person would happen to wear a Bucket on his head. Thats why I love this community so much. And thats why I have decided to become a muscician myself. Imagine having the ability to play your instrument & eventually you inspire masses of people to learn music as well. Music is the most personal expression of the soul. And Im afraid there wont be another day going by without me listening to at least 1 Buckethead song. When I have children I will play them Buckethead as well to soothe them. You should try Padmasana,Swomme Swan, Pike 78, Cove, Electric Tears LP, Super Human, Pond Of Peace, Blue Slide, Pike 43, Watching Boats With My Dad, Formless Present...to name a few out of the 300 + records already released lol. But I especially suggest to play "She Sells Sea Shells At The Slaughterhouse" for your son, since this is an actual lullaby song in my mind. If it can turn someone in their early 20s sleepy then Im sure it will work even better for your son. Buckethead is such a genius & I cherish everyday his music enhances my life Much love,happiness,health & peace
This is a song dedicated to Buckethead's Aunt Suzie. Aunt Suzie was the person that gave him his fist guitar as gift when he was 12 years old! He has also many other songs dedicated to his family! Most importantly his album named COLMA was written for his mum, who was at the hospital recovering from intestine cancer... Buckethead therefore, decided to compose an album that was calming enough for her to hear during the recovery... Amazing man, amazing soul, amazing SOULtouching music!
When you can feel the soul in an emotion in someone playing, it breaks my heart and heals it at the same time. I don't know how else to describe it. What a beautiful soul. Soul transcends all genres.
The theory is that Bucketheads "Aunt Suzie" bought him his first guitar! However, this isn't the only song that is for Aunt Suzie! The song Soothsayer is also referring to Aunt Suzie! Soothsayer means someone who can see the future! Which supposedly "Aunt Suzie" could see the future! She foresaw him becoming a guitar legend and therefore bought him his first guitar!
i feel happy for u... we may think that death will end our pain and suffering but it also will end the moments of joy and exctasy that we have yet to experience... we can find gratitude for our pain and learn to appreciate it for what it is...another part of an infinite spectrum of colour/ feeling/ awareness/ emotion ..........when you are going thru Hell.......Keep Going!!
Tell me about it I tried countless times never succeeded. It's a sign man. In one occasion a rope that held a big ass boat snaped when I got of the chair. Everyone has their purpose and it took me years of agony and pain to realize tho I lost everything (fiance and unborn child) life goes on
Keep your head up, to be alive means you can change and as long as you can change even the smallest thing you should, and even if it looks as if you can't just wait a bit, but dont give up
This is one of my favourite ballads of BH-you want more: aunt suzie sail on soothsayer in memory to aunt suzie Look Up There dawn at deuce dawn appears Enter Tomorrow Loss From a Distance Sorrow of Discord False Directions a real diamonf in the rough four rivers the miracle of surrender light infinity appears stained glass hill star chasing The Siphoning Sequence Tarantula Crossing Whitewash Shadows Between the Sky Inward Journey Chaos of the Unconscious Wax Paper Handdprint Ornament Beyond the Knowing Swomee Swan Yokohama The Robot Who Lost Its Head Ghost Coop Asbury Park Boardwalk The Patrolman Melting Man part 2 Axiology Pollyanna Common Ground
This song reminds me of my dad, who committed suicide when I was 20, he was a war vet and buckthead was his fav band. I only play it twice a year, on his birthday and on a day he decided to end his life. Happy Birthday Dad.
@@stevenlindsey2056 The point is that this isnt composed. He comes up with music on the spot and plays what he feels which is amazing. Most people need to sit down and slowly come up with a song like this meanwhile this dude improvises like most of his music which is insane. Listen to pike 65 and you can just tell he is playing what he feels right there for the most part
When you can't talk to that person anymore. This song is that feeling in your chest. The lack of ability to vocalize your thoughts. The desire to communicate with someone who can't answer the phone anymore.
@@red_response: Or maybe down is really up. It takes greater strength and courage to dive into our feelings and deal with them than it does to ignore them. At least at first, until one becomes so filled with the rage that naturally occurs from burying ones feelings, that they explode.
This is my exact feeling my father passed almost 8 years ago and I don't believe he ever discovered buckethead but he would have love it he truly would have but your description makes me feel like I can connect to his soul through this song
My dog loved this song. Had to put him down today, I miss him more than anything. Never had a friend like him. Now this song will be played in his memory, and to heal my lost soul. RIP dear Duri. Give me strength to continue without you. You lit up so many dark days of my life. I can't imagine ever loving anyone as much as you. But that won't stop me from trying.
Hang in there, he'll be waiting for ya, just a little further down the road. My best friend of 14 yrs , b we waitin' too. Take care friend. Cities was a Maine coon kitty. Sweetest soul I ever knew
I love my dog more than most people, and I am glad you can get some solace by listening to this particular song. I completely get-you. Even at my ripe age of 63.
And vision. I could only hope to imagine what explodes inside his neural pathways and have half the ability to execute it. His vision involves far more than senses and sight. Take it or leave it like it or love it he is extraordinary.
This song saved my life. 2014 I was going through it hard. Toxic lifestyle. I wanted so hard to surrender. I didn't know where to go, who to turn to. I'm an expat in a foreign country. I got home one cold rainy night and my electricity had been cut off. It was definately the last straw. I was one for. I asked for a sign before leaving this earth. I opened my laptop and checked my messages one last time and RU-vid was open. I clicked the first song. It was this one. I cried all night and woke up a new man. Life changed. This song always reminds me of how lowninwss and how far I've come.
@@jasonrossetta5203 What makes you think this world is a detour? Detour from what? No, this is the only life we know is real. Any assumptions or guesses about what happens afterward is just that, a guess. But you are right about making the best of it being all we can do.
Countless hours of every emotion available trying to master not only craft but the flawed instrument of the human body and mind as one and then make something beautiful with that that transcends language and culture. It takes more than pain to do that, he used his pain and everything else to make something good out of it.
TopTens the knowledge that no matter how godlike he creates sound, it can never reach 100% perfection! That‘s why we exist as humans, and BH still plays the guitar, because we believe so strongly in reaching the 100% :)
R.I.P Aunt Suzie, we will never forget you! Thanks for that gift for Brian! If not you, I dont know if world would still have buckethead in it... Rest in peace, Aunt Suzie :..) ...
I saw his picture, he got my curiosity. I listened to his heavy stuff, he got my attention. I listened to Big Sur Moon, Padmasana and this, he got my respect
+DaxAndy it is my favourite B/Head sone at the mo. Haven't heard all his tracks but oh my gosh. Soothsayer and too many humans I think are up there for me also.
*Once you start to live alone, partially isolated from everyone, then it's kinda becomes addictive. Even though you have the choice to change that, but still you opt to remain same!*
i never understand why people publicize something like this. no hate im just curious, is it to relate. i dont want to think if this is just a shrill reach for some likes or attention or to connect someway
@@lkdgamingchannel5219 if you wanted an experience shrooms are the safest drug you can do, they have the lowest amount of hospital visits of any other drug, followed by cannabis and lsd. alcohol is the most dangerous drug responsible for the most deaths each year by a long shot. not saying you should do any of them though just throwing some facts out there
I used to fall asleep peacefully to this track, and now my twin baby girls do the same. It's amazing to watch them smile in their sleep while listening to this track. Thank you so much, Buckethead. May aunt Suzie rest in peace.
Just because we don't feel the emotions certain others transmit as easily, does not even imply they are less able. That we are all so different is not just a good thing, it is *the greatest thing.* Diversity is in *fact,* life itself. I believe that this is Bucketheads main message too btw.
I have never heard a musician play with this much soul and inspiration. Great way to leave this crazy world in your mind, put your head phones on and chill with some BH. He is just so damn good.
Strawberry Smoothie Well u should. Bucket head is the God of music. I hear people talking about satriani, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Eric johnson, mamsteen, Guthrie govan, Neil zaza etc. Well they are good but once u listen to bucket head u will understand the soul of music.
I always listen to this song at midnights, while looking at my ex-bestfriend's old text messages and just think about the past. This is why it has a very special meaning for me and makes me emotional every time. Describes my feelings and puts them into something concrete. It just fits the night scene or keeps you focused while reading a book. Buckethead did really good job with this one
I misjudged her and thought i what i was doing was the right thing and by pushing her away to make her want me more is not what she wanted, so i messed up there and now im barely getting a little trust back that i once had with her
@@joenathan4880 to be fair, if he didnt know who aunt suzie was, why would he immediately assume they were dead and that a different song would be about her passing? He didnt have enough info to make that inference.
Dang...wish you would have been my teacher! Alas, I'm older than Buckethead by a few years, so his music wouldn't have been available when I was still in school.
He doesn't self-promote and lets people find his work by themselves. It's not like how Ed Sheeran is rammed down people's throats on commercial radio until people get brainwashed into liking it even though it's shite.
Buckethead, you took me on a journey through the life of someone I did not know, through you guitar. I feel the love, admiration, respect and fascination you had for this aunt Suzie. Amazing.
I have such an emotional attachment to this song...I've lost a lot of good friends over the years from anywhere between freak accidents to opiate overdoses, and every time I hear this song it reminds me of all of them. We all were huge fans of Buckethead, and I have no doubt they're still jamming out to him wherever they are. RIP guys...may your afterlife be as peaceful and kickass as this song.
I lost everything that ever mattered to me this year and this song made me cry at work and be happy at the same time buckethead is my savior.his guitar literally speaks to me.
Wonder how many people think of their family members on the other side listening to this 🙏🏽. I thought of my Big Brother Tyler Shepherd, he loved playing the guitar and left us to early🌹🕯.
We have easily learned that Buckethead loves his family. What an inspiration. The passion it gives him has led to some of his BEST work. Pike 65: go listen
Después de años y años de escuchar diferentes tipos de música, no hay palabras para describir lo que buckethead hace. Me gustan muchos tipos de musica pero esto es algo más. Ningun otro compositor ha sido capaz de transmitirme con la musica estos sentimientos que afloran cuando escucho a buckethead. De verdad creo que Buckethead seria capaz de curar el mundo con su musica si todo el mundo la escuchara.
De hecho esta canción fue la razón por la que me puse a buscar el disco en original y al fin lo encontré. Cuando me lo mandaron a casa sentí una emoción increíble cuando lo saque de su envoltura y lo aprecie por todos lados. Pase esta canción a mi teléfono en formato WAV y siento lo mismo que tu describes cada vez que la escucho. Es como subir a una alta montaña en la noche, ver la luna frente a tu cara y sentir el susurro del viento. Increíble!!!
ya think you've listened to Aunt Suzie a hundred times and then you hear it for the first time all over again. Just amazing. I love this music more and more. Very important to me and evidently a lot of other people too.
Does bucket read the comments ? Well if he does to him I would say you sir are an old soul with the power to heal those who will listen so much to give so little time thank you for you
Yes, he does. He even watches covers here on RU-vid of his songs. He recently recognized one of his most popular cover guitarist in the 1st row and invited him on stage. He even gave him his guitar to finish the song.
Buckethead doesnt need words to speak to you, yet his music communicates with you better than any person could in this world. This song always makes me remember things I am anxious about yet helps to cope with them, I dont know what I would do in this world without such a friend as buckethead... There are only 2 words I can to tell him: thank you!
If God came down to earth and starts taking away everyone's pain and misery this should be the song playing while he does it. ❤️ 1 month ago this song meant pain to me, it still does but a bit more bearable now.
When I am in distress or having some serious issues with life, this song kinda gives me a different outlook. This song has helped me get over a couple of hard breakups and some huge rejections in life. Thanks, Buckethead.
Hands down... greatest ever. I dont understand how people can praise Hendrix for only being influential... Buckethead has invented techniques and playing style as well... and even if you give it to Hendrix for being the influence for a lot of guitarists... dude... THIS GUY RIGHT HERE CAN PLAY ANYTHING!!! LITERALLY! Any genre, style or whatever the heck, fast, slow, shredding or bending, the emotion, the technique... Buckethead is just the most complete guitarist. Some cand shred faster or whatever but lacks in certain departments... this guy has 300 albums exploring music way beyond any other guitarists have... its insane... I don't think people understand... and I'm a simple girl, I like David Gilmour and Marty Friedman... for feeling and flavour... but this guy is just a better guitar player... dosent mean his music is better, you cant even compare music, its about mood... but he is just the better player.. Love you all! Geez... such a long comment... ^^' ❤
Scriverò questo commento nella mia lingua, non in inglese, perché non ne ho voglia e perché è un certo orario. Posso solo farti le mie congratulazioni! È difficile vedere una "simple girl" Come te, in genere. Dunque niente, nonostante io non so chi tu sia, quanti anni tu abbia eccetera, non solo mi hai tolto letteralmente le parole dalla bocca... E dalle dita. Ma mi hai anche quasi emozionato. Buone cose! :")
Hendrix wasn't just skilled. He was a pioneer. Buckethead is very skilled at playing for sure but has he made as much something "new" as Hendrix? Think not.
Discovered buckethead just today, maybe in worst period of my life, this song and soothsayer literally made me cry, i cannot stop my emotions, trully a masterpiece
7:33 That build up is so intense. The guitar is truly weeping & screaming in pain. This song is paying homage not only to his aunt but also to Funkadelic. For me this is Bucketheads take on Maggot Brain. Only differenence is he played like that because he lost a loved one. Eddie Hazel pretended to pour his heart out, imagining his mom had just past away. However the beauty & dedication is audioable in both versions.
Nobody : What is the fastest way to travel ? Me : Buckethead's music. you can reach to other world thousands and millions of light years away just in a couple of minutes.
I have never heard Buckethead before; the passion in this song had me all emotional and teary by halfway through. No other song has done that before...
Ouvi muitos guitarristas ao longo da minha vida, alguns considerava inatingível a musicalidade dos caras, mas no momento em que me deparei com o Buckethead, pude confirmar que ele está num nível bem mais alto que os outros.
RIP DOOM. Both Bucket and Doom are/were prodigies in what they did, and both chose to hide their identities. mad respect. will forever follow their ideals.
