I remember the year that I became addicted to heroin, I lost my job, lost my home and abandoned my dream, I found myself couch surfing at a smack house until we were all evicted. That's when I set out homeless, traveling in an effort to get clean. I spent the following autumn and winter exploring the western coast of the US as part of my "road rehab". I got off the opiates and found a new world under the surface, a world of adventure and survival that's only known by the hardy few that get out on the road, or the tracks, broke, with nothing but the pack on their back. The life I had known had to melt away, in the matter of a summer everything changed and nothing will ever be the same again.
And………. Shut up. Hopefully you have a job and are worth more than someone finding you dead! Why the fuck do losers like you expect a parade because you got clean, or are slowly putting your life back together……..I worked my guts out, my whole life. I’m a man, you’re a piece of shit……..until you say you aren’t.
@@wulfsbane245go Thanks! I fucking love this song so much. When I posted that comment I just was watching him in his shades chilling and I was like damn, best seat in the house! Just wanted to put that out there, reading my comment now just kinda makes me feel like I'm talking shit in a way but it wasn't like that at all. love & respect to everyone in the video. Especially the dog!
This is literally my favorite song. I listen to it more often than I'd care to admit. I actually actively try to not listen to it so I don't ruin it for myself but fuck... here I am again hearing it again
After traveling for years, I washed up overdosed on 4-HO-PCP. The tangled ropes round my wrist were fastened to a hospital bed. Snorting my dissociative off of Metatron's Cube certainly didn't cover up the sins to follow. You'll never know how much this song has helped me solidify after I melted that summer, Thank you. Peace and Love
This post is frighteningly poignant. Never tried 4-HO-PCP but have done lots of 3-MeO-PCP/PCE, 2F-DCK, and MXE. Maybe they do cover up your sins, it certainly got me farther from this hell on earth.
My daddy died a few months before this was on RU-vid, I was addicted to heroin, and everyday felt like a horrible nightmare I didn't want to face and I'd listen to it at work all day and it really helped at the time to take my mind off things I wasn't ready to face so thank all of y'all for just existing because I feel that if things had been different I'd just as easily go down the dark well trodden path I'd known all too well and been worse off for it. I don't believe in God but God bless all of you for this song. My whole life melted that summer but in the end it was a positive showing me the impermanence of things and how easily you can lose what seems to be forever and I'd like to believe I'm a better person for it but in the end nobody really knows I'm still grateful though. Forgive the following I'm really drunk and sad. “Even today my complaint is bitter; his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning. If only I knew where to find him; if only I could go to his dwelling! I would state my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments. I would find out what he would answer me, and consider what he would say to me. Would he vigorously oppose me? No, he would not press charges against me. There the upright can establish their innocence before him, and there I would be delivered forever from my judge. “But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him. When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him. But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside. I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread. “But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? He does whatever he pleases. He carries out his decree against me, and many such plans he still has in store. That is why I am terrified before him; when I think of all this, I fear him. God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me. Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
I know the pain you feel, both my parents are dead and everyday is another day of overcoming addiction, but we're stronger and we can make one more day, everyday.
Thank you so much for this song I am a young dirty kid and this song was the first song I learned on guitar and it kept my belly full for many nights but I always made sure to give credit where it was due so thank you keep up the great work I someday hope to meet yall on the dusty trail so I can personally thank you.
Well tangled in ropes, pulled into the shore You washed up all heavy, tired, and poor Had a life made of wax In a house made of butter How they melted that summer How they melted that summer When the tide pulled out and all was exposed You found yourself drowning in truths untold Used a sand dollar too, hard thoughts taking hold Though a hundred degrees, you felt so cold And mixing our drinks with holy water Won't cover up sins that are bound to follow Had a life made of wax, house made of butter How they melted that summer How they melted that summer When winter came early and the ocean froze over You threw your belongings onto your shoulder Stole a pair of boots that could handle the cold And walked out into the frozen unknown And mixing our drinks with holy water Won't cover up sins that are bound to follow Had a life made of wax, house made of butter How they melted that summer How they melted that summer Well tangled in ropes, pulled into the shore You washed up all heavy, tired, and poor Had a life made of wax In a house made of butter How they melted that summer How they melted that summer When the tide pulled out and all was exposed You found yourself drowning in truths untold Used a sand dollar too, hard thoughts taking hold Though a hundred degrees, you felt so cold And mixing our drinks with holy water Won't cover up sins that are bound to follow Had a life made of wax, house made of butter How they melted that summer How they melted that summer When winter came early and the ocean froze over You threw your belongings onto your shoulder Stole a pair of boots that could handle the cold And walked out into the frozen unknown And mixing our drinks with holy water Won't cover up sins that are bound to follow Had a life made of wax, house made of butter How they melted that summer How they melted that summer Well tangled in ropes, pulled into the shore You washed up all heavy, tired, and poor Had a life made of wax In a house made of butter How they melted that summer How they melted that summer
This is so amazing. I just kinda realized how dope the washboard actually is. This guy is an expert at shredding that thing if you ask me. Thought the whole Band stood out together though. Bravo
Found them from ordering a bunch of Bridge City Sinners merch and cds. Flail sent me some extra cds and this was one of them. This is a great song and version of it
After listening to all the content on youtube provided but this lovely ensemble I'm impressed. Specifically Tangled in ropes, and this recording of Tangled In Ropes may be not only my favorite of the selection. It may perhaps be my favorite song I've ever heard. No song I've ever come across in my entire life has made me want to participate in its creation more than this. This is after months of reflection on the subject.
Thank you youtube algoritm. But apparently Holy Locust made me feel whole for an entire 5 minutes and 7 seconds. Thank you. Christ did I need that. Words fail to describe the gratitude I feel for you guys. If we cross paths, which doesn't seem all that likely, id be thrilled to repay in whatever kind I have on me...seriously...
This song is associated with such special memories for me. Hitting the road alone, living in the forest, falling in love, learning to be confident, basking in sunshine, crystal blue springs, living so in the moment. Absolutely priceless and this song will always transport me to that time.
absolutely magical performance. sent me on a binge to catch up on this scene. the last band in this general style i regularly listened to was 16 horsepower, more than 20 years ago. according to david eugene edwards himself, they always did exceptionally well in germany. so please come to berlin, i'll be there.
This song has so much meaning to me it is crazy! It makes me tear up every time i hear it. Rewind 3 years ago, i started visiting my best friend in another state that i hadn't seen in 12 years. I ended up tagging along with him and his other half (whom i didnt really know at the time) to the Muddy Roots Music Festival. After drinking some mushroom tea, we went to the stages, and Holy Locust drew us to them. We could feel the music! Tangled in Ropes played, and all three of us had such a touching moment, that it solidified my best friend's other half becoming another best friend. I went back home and showed my mother Holy Locust, and it became one of her favorite bands. My mother ended up passing away suddenly this year on Valentine's Day. Heard Holy Locust is coming back to Muddy Roots, so i am gonna try to be there supporting in memory of my mother
This song is absolutely beautiful, beautifully written and beautifully performed. I'm so grateful that there are artists creating songs like this, it makes this depressed anxious broken traumatized burnt up fucked up heart happy.
In the history they will be remembering that song 1000 years ago.... and they will say... peaple at this time was hearthfull..... Hello from france iv'e been listen to your song thirty time this day and singing with you.... I wish you the best from Europe..... wish you the best..... i've been sharing your song with all the people id know.... Long live Holy Locust..... this song is just mythic !

Hateful Tens what makes you say they are all likely drug addicts? Their aesthetic? I don't know these people but I'm not willing to judge them based on some stereotypes, just a group of people that have come together to make some really cool music... maybe they do drugs, if they do then hopefully when the time is right they will find their way. It's unfortunate that that's your first impression
@Hateful Tens I mean...you did kinda make a value judgment on the whole group? Oh they probably don't take care of themselves, probably on drugs. Like, those don't inherently make them lesser or anything and idk if that's what you meant but that's how it came off? So like, maybe think about how you phrase things and don't judge people based on appearance alone?
Funny how animals can bring people together. Bumped into Summer and Banshee today in a café in Gothenburg, Sweden. I was curious about what breed Banshee is, that got me talking to Summer and now I own the album this song is on, Fever Dream. I also know what a dread mullet is after seeing one in person. :) Great music. Reminds me of early Arcade Fire a bit.
great voice! love the Nomad Moutain Outlaws and the songs made with the RYG . Have the Best memories listening to you guys on my sailboat with my father and brothers, beers, clouds and winds
